Chapter 160 A Fairy
George chuckled and teased, “I didn’t expect you to be so alert.”
Milly was momentarily surprised by the handsome face in front of her, but she quickly masked her
emotions.
She took a step back and opened her palm. In it was a red invitation letter.
“What’s this?” Milly asked.
“An invitation letter. Didn’t you agree to be my companion for the banquet? Have you forgotten it?”
Banquet
Milly recalled that she had indeed promised George to attend a banquet with him to repay his kindness for saving her when she fell into the water on the set.
“Yeah, what time should I be there?”
“I’ll pick you up tonight at nine.”
Milly nodded. “Sure.”
George looked at Milly who was examining the invitation. From his angle, he could only see her smooth hair and cute face and he suddenly had the urge to hug her tightly.
He closed his eyes to suppress his emotions.
He regained his composure once he opened his eyes again.
“I’ll make a move first,” he said huskily, as if was saying goodbye just to her.
Milly looked at him and called out, “Wait, I have something to give you.”
George raised an eyebrow.
He hadn’t expected Milly to have something for him, and for a moment, he felt an excitement he hadn’t experienced in years.
How long has it been since I felt this way?
I haven’t felt anything like this since the Shadow Palace was successfully established.
Milly did have something for George, but she was annoyed at the mess of the living room.
There was no way to get it now.
She sighed and rubbed her aching temples, “Forget it, I can’t get it now. I’ll give it to you tonight when you pick me up.”
George was disappointed the moment Milly said “forget it”.
His smile froze in place.

But, his heart was leaping again when he heard the latter part of her sentence.
It was like a roller coaster ride of emotions. He was lucky that it didn’t end in disappointment.
“Sure.”
He was already looking forward to tonight.
At Tate’s Mansion.
For the first time, George didn’t go to work as usual but instead went straight home.
Upon arriving, he went directly to the fifth floor.
This entire floor was his closet. There were all sorts of suits, ties, shoes, and cufflinks available.
Usually, the servants brought his clothes from the fifth floor, and he rarely checked them himself.
Now, he was at a loss standing before the vast array of suits.
After all these years, George realized that he only had black suits now. And, they didn’t even look good.
His phone rang at that moment.
It was Danny calling.
“Hello, Mr. Tate, where are you? Mr. Quinn is here waiting in your office to sign the project contract.”
Danny was almost frantic.
Their company had been following this project for over half a year. George had specifically reminded him not to let anything go wrong. Now, George was nowhere to be found when they were about to sign the
contract
Danny had already served Mr. Quinn three pots of tea to stall time for George. Mr. Quinn might suffer from water intoxication soon.
George frowned and glanced at his black suit. “Tell him I can’t make it to the office today, and we’ll sign the contract tomorrow,” he said solemnly with a sigh.
“What?”
Danny, who had worked for George for many years, had never heard such a solemn tone from him. He couldn’t help but feel anxious since George was not showing up at work today.
“Mr. Tate, is everything okay? Do you need my help?”
“Mhm, notify the design department to send me all their latest suits.”
“Alright, Mr. Tate.”
“Wait, tell them to get ready for this year’s latest haute couture gowns too, and arrange for a well–known female urulier”

“Got it”
After hanging up, Danny’s mind was filled with questions.
He wondered if a major event or banquet was coming up.
But, he felt confused because he was the one who usually accompanied George to such events and would have known about it.
Despite his curiosity, he promptly completed the tasks assigned by George.
At 4:30 PM.
A Rolls–Royce was parked on an alleyway not far from the Burnett Mansion. The gleaming hood. ornament seemed out of place in the small alley.
Inside the car, a man was in a perfectly tailored, expensive suit with his hair styled neatly. He exuded elegance and an oppressive aura. The shadows cast on his face made it difficult to see his expression.
He was spacing out in the distance as if waiting for something.
Meanwhile, Danny who was in the driver’s seat, and the female stylist in the back were sitting upright, feeling stressed. Danny was on the verge of tears.
They didn’t understand why they were here so early. There were almost 5 hours left until the banquet.
Moreover, they were hiding instead of parking the car in front of the Burnett Mansion.
Why am I the one who suffered every time Mr. Tate wanted to woo someone? It’s so unfair!
Despite grumbling in his heart, Danny was quite content when he thought of his year–end bonus.
By 8 PM. Danny couldn’t feel his legs anymore.
George checked his watch and instructed, “Pull up in front of her house, take the dress inside, and tell her we just arrived.”
Danny forced a smile. “Alright, Mr. Tate.”
Boohoo, I don’t want to lie! Lying will bring bad karma!
Ugh, whatever. Life would end sooner or later anyway.
After psyching himself up and stretching his numb ankles, Danny parked the car in front of the Burnett Mansion. Just then, footsteps were heard.
Danny looked up and saw a wondan in an elegant evening gown standing outside the window. She looked like a fairy.
