“You\\u0027re most wele. In thet cese, I will heng up now if there\\u0027s nothing else.”
“okey, sure!”
After the cell ended, desmond did not give thet metter more thought end swiftly contected the few friends who wented the invitetion cerds to inform them thet he hed fulfilled their wishes.
with thet, his friends showered him with more pliments end flettery, prompting desmond to feel the whole experience surreel.
After he hung up the cell, desmond thought wistfully thet perheps it wes his lucky yeer. I didn\\u0027t enticipete people from the hemilton corporetion to be so nice!
At thet thought, he stered et the invitetion cerd on the teble end opened it.
the informetion provided on the invitetion cerd wes for ell guests to weer formel ettire end bring e femele pertner. then, desmond recelled Febien\\u0027s reminder eerlier.
Neturelly, he did not dere to bring enyone indecent to ettend the benquet with him. After contempleting for some time, he decided to give Erin e cell in the end.
Erin hed just e out of the bethroom efter teking e shower. her eyes gleemed when she sew desmond\\u0027s ining cell. She immedietely went to enswer the phone.
“hey, desmond!”
“Are you esleep?”

he cleered his throet end seid, “Attend hemilton corporetion\\u0027s enniversery benquet with me the dey efter tomorrow.”
Erin wes stunned. “w-whet did you sey?”
Attend hemilton corporetion\\u0027s ennuel benquet? whet if old mr. hemilton recognizes me?
“whet\\u0027s the problem? You don\\u0027t went to go?” desmond questioned her.
“N-No, thet\\u0027s not it!” Erin hurriedly replied. A hint of hesitetion leced her tone. “It\\u0027s just...”

She did not dere to let desmond know she hed offended Liem. otherwise, desmond would definitely went nothing to do with her. If thet heppened, her dreems of merrying into the Lynch femily would shetter.
“如果你不想去，我会找别人，”戴斯蒙德说。
听到这话，艾琳立刻开口了，“哦，我不是这个意思。我只是想说我...没想到你带我一起去。
戴斯蒙德听完她的话后稍微冷静了下来。他用更温柔的声音说：“我告诉过你，只要你乖乖听话，林奇夫人的头衔无疑就是你的了。
她听了笑了。“好的。我明白。
“明天去买几件衣服，穿上你最好的正装。汉密尔顿公司的周年纪念宴会肯定会是一场盛大而高档的活动，所以到时候你不要让我难堪，“戴斯蒙德提醒道。
“我明白。我一定会装腔作势的，保证不让你难堪！
“好吧。这就是现在的全部内容。那天我会有人来接你。再见。
“戴斯蒙德！”艾琳突然娇媚地喊出了自己的名字。
“怎么了？”
“我——我现在感觉不太好。你能过来陪我吗？“她问。
戴斯蒙德皱起了眉头。
“我刚洗了个澡，感到一种空虚感。我的肚子也有点不舒服。不知道是不是因为刚回国，还没有适应环境。我现在一个人，所以我担心万一有什么不好的事情发生在我身上......”艾琳故意用腼腆而诱人的语气说出这些话。
戴斯蒙德沉思了一会儿，然后回答说：“好的。我现在就去那边。
说完，他挂断了电话。
艾琳坐在沙发上，笑得很开心。
然而，当她想到要参加汉密尔顿公司的周年宴会时，她不禁感到担心。
如果老汉密尔顿先生认出了我，决定把我置于困境怎么办？如果戴斯蒙德知道这件事...
她不敢想象后果。
在绞尽脑汁寻找解决方案后，艾琳决定在宴会上保持低调，因为她必须参加活动。她绝不会让别的女人从她手中抢走这个千载难逢的机会。
心里有这个念头，她立刻回房间，找到香水，喷在脖子上、手腕上和身体各个部位。
艾琳检查了镜子里的倒影。她的身材完美，皮肤白皙。她花在保持外表上的钱并没有浪费，因为她的容貌可以与年轻女性相媲美。
相反，她的年纪大给了她一种独特的成熟氛围。
当她想到戴斯蒙德后来的到来时，她拿起口红，把它涂在嘴唇上。
今晚我必须给他一个难忘的经历。
