Hope you in my dream

Chapter 23 The Aristocratic Ball

Upon hearing this, Nancy got even angrier. She pointed at Bill and scolded, "You're being nosy! It is none of your business!"

Bill sneered, blurting out, "I'm a nosy, so what?"

Seeing that the atmosphere between them had reached a point of tension, Rachel hurriedly stopped him, "Bill, thank you for your help, but this is between me and Nancy. You'd better not intervene."

Bill turned around and smiled at Rachel. "I'm not trying to help you. I just can't stand a woman with two faces like her!"

But his smile gradually froze on his face before he could finish his words.

Rachel turned around to check who it was, and she saw that Clark was walking towards her.

Why did he come to the filming site again?

Walking to Rachel, Clark asked calmly, "Have you finished your work?"

With a glance at Nancy, Rachel didn't say anything.

With a cold glance at Nancy, Clark said, "I've taken her away."

Then, he took Rachel's hand and left the filming site.

"Ah! Come back, Rachel!" Nancy was so angry that she stamped her feet. She wanted to stop them, but Clark ignored her. Clark grabbed Rachel by the hand and quickly disappeared from the door.

Her hand was held by his palm once again, Rachel could not help but feel reassured.

Looking at Clark's handsome face and athletic body, Rachel could feel her heartbeat quicken.

"Clark." Rachel suddenly called him.

Clark stopped and turned around to look at Rachel. Frowning, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Rachel struggled to get her hands out of his. Blushed, she said, "I can walk on my own."

Clark's eyes darkened.

"Why do you ask me out?" Rachel asked, raising her head again.

A light flashed across Clark's eyes as he replied in a cool voice, "There is an Aristocratic Ball tonight. I want you to be my female companion."

Rachel was surprised? Aristocratic Ball?

"On such an important occasion, is it appropriate for me to be your female companion?" Rachel asked hesitantly.

They were not that close as to attend various occasions with him?

With a serious look at Rachel, Clark said, "I said it was appropriate!"

How bossy Clark was!

It seemed that Rachel still wanted to turn him down.

Suddenly, Clark added, "Who said that she owed me a favor at the charity auction last time?"

It suddenly occurred to her that last time, Clark had donated a large amount of money for charity in her name. That was when he helped her out of the embarrassment.

She still had not paid him back!

With that, Rachel said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Clark took Rachel to a high-class beauty club and said to the worker, "I want to you give her the best makeover in two hours."

After that, Rachel was taken away by the worker. They gave her a makeup, changed her hairstyle and chose the evening dress for her. It took them almost two hours.

When Rachel appeared in front of Clark with her new style, he was completely shocked by her beauty!

She had red lips, bright eyes and a pretty face. The black knee-length evening dress set off her perfect figure. The silver necklace on her neck was shining brightly, revealing a unique luster.

The high-heeled shoes she was wearing gave full play to her feminine charm!

It was the first time that Clark had seen Rachel being so stunning.

Staring at her, Clark was lost in thought.

Stunned and embarrassed, Rachel asked, "What do you think? Don't I look good in this dress?"

After a short while, Clark regained his composure and said in a cold voice, "Of course my female companion is beautiful."

Stunned, Rachel was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. Was he complimenting her, or himself?

"Let's go. The ball is about to start in an hour." Clark held her hand and left the beauty club.

Her hand being held by his hand again, Rachel started to get used to it.

When they arrived at the ball, Rachel was holding Clark's arm.

The two stunning men and women attracted the attention of everyone as soon as they appeared!

Everyone looked to their side.

"Oh, my God! Clark is really here! I thought the sponsor was bragging. After all, he didn't like attending parties like this kind before."

"His female companion is so beautiful!"

Such exclamation kept coming to their ears. Rachel kept smiling gracefully and looking at them coolly all the time.

As Clark's female companion, she must try her best to be elegant and calm.

Clark was expressionless, emanating a cold aura that kept people away.

Clark talked with several important clients with Rachel. Then the ball began.

Rachel was about to sit in a corner and began to watch others dancing.

At this time, a young man came to her and enthusiastically invited her: "Beautiful lady, may I have the honor to dance with you?"

Glancing at him, Rachel was thinking about how to turn him down, but Clark came over.

"Sorry, sir, my female companion can only dance with me," Clark said in a cold voice.

The young man gave an awkward smile and then left.

Turning to Rachel, Clark asked in an indifferent tone, "Do you know how to dance?"

"Yes, a little," said Rachel as she nodded.

"Okay," Clark reached out his hand and said, "Let's dance together."

Looking at his sincere eyes, Rachel's heart was beating fast. She slowly put her hand in his hand.

Clark held her hand with one hand and put the other on her slim waist. Their postures were quite ambiguous.

Clark's hot breath fell from the head and onto Rachel's neck. She felt itchy.

A perfect couple danced trippingly in the dancing floor, which attracted the attention of countless people for a moment!

In an instant, the two people became the focus of the whole party again!

The woman was gorgeous and the man was handsome. They made a perfect couple!

It was the first time for Rachel to dance with such a tacit partner on the dance floor. She enjoyed the moment very much.

When the music was over, both of them stopped. It was such a rare feeling that Rachel wanted more.

Rachel's face was as red as a ripe apple, which brought a smile to the corners of Clark's mouth.

As soon as they walked out of the dance floor, a group of people rushed up and introduced themselves to Rachel, "Miss, I'm director Liu. Judging from your outstanding temperament, I would like to invite you to play in my new movie..."

"I am director Zheng. I know you are a good actress at first sight. May I have the honor to ask you to audition with us?"

"Beauty, if you agree, our company will sign the contract directly with you. There is no need for audition!"

A group of people scrambled to sell their new movie and company to Rachel, hoping to have the opportunity to work with her.

Seeing this, Rachel was a little surprised, but she quickly recovered.

"I'm sorry, but for some personal reasons, I will not consider acting temporarily."

All the directors felt a little disappointed, shook their heads and left.

In the dark, a pair of eyes that were filled with jealousy stared at Rachel.

After sending away these directors, Rachel was relieved and went to sit in a seat next to Clark.

Clark turned around and walked to the buffet area. Probably he went to fetch food and wine.

Watching his handsome figure, Rachel blushed at the thought of the intimate feeling of him dancing close to her.

"Wow? Rachel, you are in a good mood, aren't you? You don't need to work? How could you be so lazy to come here for a ball?" a mocking voice came over Rachel's head.

Hearing the voice, Rachel raised her head and saw Nancy looking at her with a glass of red wine in her hand with a cold smile on her face.

"Why are you here?" Rachel asked, looking at Nancy in surprise.

Nancy looked up and down at Rachel in front of her and snorted, "Why can't a bitch like you come here, but I can't?"
