The driver also got out of the car.Such fancy parties would arrange a place for the guests' drivers to rest.The three went to the door. A young girl wearing a gorgeous dress ran out of the door before jumping into the arms of the beautiful woman."Aunt Layla, you finally came. I've been waiting for you.""Miriam, you're getting increasingly beautiful that I hardly recognize you."The beautiful woman called Aunt Layla smiled tenderly and touched the young girl's head.Needless to say, the young girl was the star of today's ball, Miriam Wosh.Miriam knew Aunt Layla's driver, so she did not pause when she glanced at him. However, she was confused when she looked at Sean, a man she had never seen near Aunt Layla."Aunt Layla is this... Could he be your dance partner?"Miriam asked with a smile.The beautiful woman shook her head and explained. "He's a man I met on the road. My car accidentally hit him, so I brought him here. When the ball is over, ask your father to examine him

Then the group of drivers passed the time smoking and chatting.Suddenly the lounge door opened, and a waiter in a vest came in pushing a dining cart.There were a lot of desserts and drinks like coffee and tea on the dining cart.After placing all the food on the small coffee table in the middle of the lounge, the waiter smiled and said, "Enjoy, everybody."Then the waiter pushed the dining cart and left.As soon as the waiter left, the drivers dived on the desserts."Here, try this. It contains alcohol!""Are you kidding? We have to drive later!""This is delicious! It's so delicious. I've never tasted anything so delicious before!""It seems to be a Raphael City specialty. I saw it on TV before.""The Wosh family's ball is so grand. They even bought desserts from other cities!""Try this coffee. This coffee is good too."The drivers enjoyed themselves with the food while Sean sat quietly on a couch nearby, waiting for time to pass.The driver with a face full of stubble

Miriam laughed and said, "Aunt Montana, are you still angry with my father?""It's been years. I don't want to bother with being mad at him."Though Monica Montana said that, she looked away from Benedict.Just then, a surprise guest arrived.It was Mayor Quentin's daughter, Shania.She was not alone. She was accompanied by her personal bodyguard—Uriah.Shania was dressed to the nines. She was wearing a sky-blue dress with crystal-clear heels that seemed to be made out of blue glass. The accessory on her head glimmered in the light, making her look like a princess.Shania's arrival stole the star of the ball—Miriam's spotlight. Everyone's attention was focused on Shania."It's the mayor's daughter!""I didn't expect Ms. Shania to attend Ms. Miriam's birthday ball. Is Ms. Miriam close to Ms. Lewis?""I heard Dr. Wosh healed Ms. Lewis's bodyguard, so Ms. Lewis is honoring Dr. Wosh by attending his daughter's birthday ball today.""I see! No wonder!"The guests started talking

"Hello, I'm lost. May I ask..."Sean stopped a waitress and asked, but before she could finish speaking, the waitress said with a smile, "It's alright, Sir. Please follow me."Then the waitress led Sean to the ballroom.Sean was a little confused.He did not want to come to the ballroom. He wanted to return to the lounge.He did not like balls in the first place, and he also rejected the ball today. His arrival at the ballroom could be described as a strange combination of circumstances.Just then, a girl came menacingly toward him.The girl was none other than Miriam, the star of today's birthday ball.Miriam had already greeted Shania but could not get along with her. After all, their statuses were far too different.Besides, the guests of the birthday ball were all drawn to Shania. The star of the ball—Miriam was ignored, and it upset Miriam.Her anger instantly erupted when she saw the man Aunt Montana had bumped into on her ball.She stormed up to Sean and snapped, "Why

'Commander Lennon?'Which Commander Lennon?'The guests were dumbfounded, including Monica and the bodyguards who came here looking for Sean.Everyone was staring at Sean and Shania, unsure of what was going on.Shania had run up to Sean and pushed Miriam aside.Not only Shania but Uriah also trotted over.Uriah was also dressed to the nines. He wore a crisp black uniform adorned with a medal of honor from Mayor Quentin. It had no function but decorative.Uriah wearing the medal stood out in the crowd, so he followed Shania to Sean, attracting countless women's attention."Commander Lennon, why didn't you tell me you were attending Ms. Wosh's ball? I would have looked for you if I had known you were coming."Shania said joyfully."I didn't plan to come. It was an accident."Sean said a little glumly."Accident?"Shania was confused."Yeah, how could I be interested in attending such a ball? I was only walking down the street but accidentally got hit by a car. The car owne

"Lounge? What lounge?"Benedict was confused.Miriam walked over with her head down and replied after a long pause, "Dad, I thought this gentleman was with Aunt Montana's driver, so I arranged for him to rest in the driver's lounge."Benedict instantly bellowed at this. "What are you doing? He's the commander-in-chief of the city defense army, Mr. Sean Lennon! How could you send him to rest in a lounge with drivers? You... You..."'You have a death wish!'If she offended Sean, the Wosh family would suffer! Let alone Miriam.However, Benedict dared not say that. After all, so many guests were watching, and it was his baby girl's birthday ball today. He could not take it too far."I think that place is pretty good."Sean repeated.Benedict finally came to himself and looked at Sean in shock. "Are you kidding me? Commander Lennon, please don't mind me. My daughter didn't recognize you because she never met you. She didn't mean to humiliate you or...""I sincerely like that place

"Yes, got it."What else could Miriam say but quickly nod?Then Sean looked up at the people standing in the back.These were guests of the ball, and they were top distinguished businessmen.There were 70 or 80 guests at the ball tonight, yet only ten were in the room now. You could say they had the highest status of all the guests at the ball or they were unqualified to enter the now-exclusive lounge."Dorodo's economy has been growing steadily because of you. But it's inappropriate to indulge in excessive drinking. I hope you can restrain yourself."Sean said flatly."Yes, yes, yes. We understand.""I usually wear simple clothes. I rented a suit for Ms. Wosh's ball to keep up appearances.""I wore a rental too.""We lead simple lives."The wealthy businessmen said quickly, but Sean would be unbelievably naive to believe them.Sean was not going to say any more."Alright, be gone. I've had desserts and tea. It's time I leave."With that said, Sean stood up."Stay a litt

With that said, Shania's face reddened slightly.However, she knew she would have her own room if they went to a hotel.Neither Sean nor Uriah would ever lay hands on her."A hotel... It seems to be the only way."Sean thought about it and agreed.Uriah took out his phone to text the staff at the mayor's residence, notifying them that Shania would not be returning for the night, and headed to a nearby hotel with Shania and Sean.Sean ordered three rooms—one for each of them.Shania's room was in the middle, while Uriah's room was on the left, and Sean's was the other on the right.The arrangement was to prevent accidents.There should not be any accidents, but Sean and Uriah, who lived on both sides of the street, could rescue Shania in time in case of one.That way, Shania would be safe from danger.After entering his room, Sean locked the door behind him and went to the bathroom to shower.Although it was not the most luxurious presidential suite and was only a deluxe roo
