Fredric nodded respectably and got Mandy a glass of wine.

She was impressed by his look today.

From what she remembered, he was usually quite rigid. Perhaps it was because it was his job that he was quiet and hardly smiled. He was always in a suit. He was usually at the court or on the way to the court.

Today, it was rare that he wore a beige suit. Such a color would not match everyone. However, it looked perfect on him. He looked like a model walking out of a poster.

Mandy took a good look at Fredric and chuckled. "You're quite handsome today, Mr. Constable! Young people should dress like this. You'd look like you have more life to you with bright colors!" He coughed softly, revealing a subtle smile in his eyes.

He had been looking for someone at the banquet.

He had no idea that someone else was watching him from far away. That person had even picked a suit that was the same color as his.

That person had been squeezing the button on the suit, having an emotional roller coaster while watching him.

The banquet had just begun when Zephyr arrived.

He greeted the elderly and a few important business partners. He then stood aside after handing the gifts. He sat on the couch and played with the wine glass in his hand. He was bored. He was lonely since Cordelia had not come with him.

"Don't worry, sir." Robert entertained him. "Ms. Jenner said that she'll get here as soon as she finishes her work..."

"What's the job that's so important!" Zephyr was mad at first, and then he felt unwilling. "Forget it that mom is a workaholic. Now she's being a bad influence on Cordelia!" Robert's lips twitched.

'Say that to your mom if you dare! I dare you!'

"Calm down, sir. Madam Baker is just ambitious. Also, Ms. Jenner is responsible and serious in her work. She never drags things out. She's working overtime for the company!"

Zephyr glared at him, so Robert instantly shut his mouth and stood straight.

"Don't stand next to me!" Zephyr waved in an irritated manner. "See if Josiah needs help!"

Robert was happy to seize the opportunity to escape. He agreed immediately and vanished among the crowd.

Zephyr sat there alone.

The couch was by the window, and the velvet curtain was next to him. He sat lazily, crossing his long legs. His perfect side profile was like a sculptor's best work. It was clean-cut, and his charisma was majestic.

Given his deep eyes and slender fingers on the wine glass, the darkness from the red wine shone through the gap in his fingers. His masculine features shone in the dark.

He was like a god who had walked out of the night.

A couple of celebrities could not take the temptation. They walked over with their wine glasses, thinking they could talk to him. However, they retreated from his fierce stare before they managed to get close to him.

He checked the time in an annoyed manner. It had been half an hour since the banquet began.

He had been checking his phone over and over again. He had assumed Cordelia would comfort him through texts.

However, he had been staring at the screen for a minute. There was nothing.

He pouted and switched his phone to silent. He checked his phone after a while, thinking there would be surprises, but there was nothing.

He bit his lip, switching his phone to normal again.

He repeated this childish thing two to three times.

Michelle, who was not far away, looked at him intentionally. Although she did not understand what he was doing, she guessed he must want company right now.

She smirked and walked to him with her wine glass.

She already knew how to smile and what to say to him as she made her way there.

However, Zephyr lifted his eyes to stare coldly at her before she could open her mouth.

She had never seen that look before and felt a squeeze in her heart. Her hands were cold. Nevertheless, she pretended to be calm and smiled.

"Do you remember me, Zephyr?"

He peeped at her and nodded.

Michelle was getting greedy. She sat on the couch across from him.

She even adjusted her posture when she sat so that the slit on her dress would point at him.

"I've been thinking about my old friends since graduation!" She had a sip of wine. "Now that I'm in entertainment, while you have an entertainment company, we can work together again!" "You've mistaken." Zephyr was expressionless. "You signed with Sol Entertainment. That has nothing to do with me. We can't work together."

Michelle was stumped by what he said. She looked at him rather awkwardly.

"I-I meant to say that we'd see each other often since we're in the same industry."

"My mom is Imperial Media's boss. Apart from holding company shares, I'm not involved in any planning, so we won't be seeing each other!" Michelle looked terrible after being slammed twice.

"Anything else?" Zephyr raised his eyebrows. "If not, stay away from me. I want to be alone."

She had nothing to say to that.

Although he always had a cold face, even when they were in school, he had not been that cold!

He would still chat a little bit back then.

She was secretly mumbling to herself. Just when she was thinking about what to say next, a woman walked over from not far away in a flirty manner.

"Mr. Hamerton..." That woman had a great body and a sweet voice. Regular men would definitely fall for her.

However, Michelle was sharp to capture the disgust on Zephyr's face.

She knew that celebrity. She was usually cold. Never had she thought she would flirt with Z.

Michelle smiled. She got up and blocked the celebrity directly.

"I'm sorry, but Mr. Hamerton said he wants to be alone. You better not disturb him."

The woman stared at her with fury in her eyes.

"You're a great actress. We're in public, and this is the Tanners' banquet." Michelle neutrally dissed her. "Don't embarrass yourself here and kill the joy for the heirs of the families! Otherwise, it'd be bad for your reputation!"

The woman thought about what Michelle said and looked at Zephyr's grim face. In the end, she chose to retreat wisely.

Michelle crossed her arms and looked proud.

She walked to Zephyr. Just when she was going to speak, his deep voice sounded.

"You stay away from me too."

She was stunned and looked at him blankly.

Zephyr's eyes were calm with a hint of coldness. "Don't make me repeat myself!"
