Unexpectedly, Cillian was an uninhibited man and instantly grabbed Selena as soon as he entered the room. At the same time, Selena. was also captivated by him. As things instantly became heated between the two, she took the initiative to cater to him.
However, she soon discovered a major flaw, and that was the fact that he did not last long. In less than five minutes, he had reached his limit, and though. his expression darkened, she still continued to compliment him.
After experiencing his fair share of women, Cillian was naturally aware that Selena was only feigning her praise for him, and he instantly lost his temper. Pushing away her hand that wrapped around his body from behind, he said, “Miss Aguirre, I think you should head back downstairs!”
His dismissive tone made her stop in her tracks, but she tactfully tugged her dress on and headed downstairs. Meanwhile, upon seeing Selena returning without Cillian, Charlie sneered, knowing that she had already kept him company.
He strode toward the speaker, where he took the microphone from the host and announced, “Next, I’d like to invite someone on stage. Please enjoy the show.”
After hearing that there was an upcoming performance, the audience looked at him.
expectantly, and he motioned for the lighting. technician to point in Selena’s direction while declaring, ‘Next, we would like to invite Selena to entertain us with a dance.”
Instantly, the lighting technician shone a spotlight on Selena’s body. Unable to react in time, she stood under the light, completely dumbfounded as all eyes were on her, some in anticipation, some in ridicule, and some in amusement.
“Selena, come on stage and give us a show to keep us entertained!” Charlie’s voice had taken on a tone of disrespect as if Selena was a tool he had brought to please the public.
Her face turned extremely red and she looked at Charlie, hoping he would give her a chance to get off the stage, but he continued to urge her, “Selena, why aren’t you getting up yet? Give us a twirl!”
Hearing that, she lifted her dress and walked toward him, saying to him with her head held high, “Charlie, what are you talking about? Who said I was going to perform?”
She was speaking in her regular tone, but as Charlie was holding a microphone, everyone heard what was said. “Oh, does Miss Selena not want to play along? What’s wrong? Did you think that I brought you here as an esteemed guest?
In that case, you’re wrong. I only invited you to put on a performance for us and keep our guests entertained.” Instantly, Selena glared at him with her usual haughty expression. “Charlie, don’t push it.”
At the sight of her expression, he couldn’t help but let out a howl. “Selena, who do you think you’re fooling? Everyone knows you have nothing to your name now, and your entire family is living in a crappy rented apartment! No wonder you came in such an awful dress tonight; I guess your family can’t even afford a decent evening gown!”
Selena’s face flushed red as she felt the mocking gazes centered on her from all directions, and her mind went blank. How did Charlie find out about her circumstances?
“Do you know why she’s here tonight? She wants to hunt for a permanent ATM. Everyone, pay attention. Don’t be fooled by this so-called rich girl. I used to think she was wealthy, but I didn’t expect she was just bluffing!”
Charlie’s words made her so ashamed and angry that she wished a hole would open up and swallow her whole. Just then, she saw Cillian on the second floor, who was fully clothed and coming downstairs.
However, there was not a trace of interest in the way he looked at her, and he treated her like she was invisible, not even sparing a glance at her.
Selena, on the other hand, looked closely at Cillian, hoping that he would come to her rescue like a knight in shining armor and rescue her from her embarrassment.
However, Charlie sneered. “Selena, hurry up and get out. Do you think this is the kind of occasion where a fake like you can enter? Only qualified guests are eligible to attend this festival. The only thing you are worthy of is to please the guests and fill their glasses for them.”
