Chapter 1374
People around them gasped and Hanna was taken aback.
At that moment, she was held in Calvin’s arms. “Sorry for being late,” he said in her ear.
Tears began to well up in Hanna’s eyes as she heard his apologetic voice.
Even though she kept her composure facing Queena and those socialites, she knew how nervous she was just now. It made her feel like she was fighting on the battlefield. Her enemies would defeat or kill her if she missed a step.
Her nervousness didn’t subsided until Calvin took her in his arms and comforted her.
Calvin turned his head and stared at Queena and her friends coldly. “Queena, what do you want from my girlfriend?” His voice was tingled with anger and Queena panicked.
“Calvin, i-it was just a misunderstanding. I-I just…” Queena stuttered, trying to explain.
“Misunderstanding? “Calvin asked back, snapping his fingers at the waiter. The waiter quickly walked over. Calvin picked up a glass of red wine from his tray and passed it to Queena. “Do you think who’s a fool, you or me?”
Queena’s face changed right away. She wondered if Calvin wanted her to pour wine on herself.
It would be a huge humiliation for her if she did it in public.
Queena turned her gaze to Alan standing beside Calvin, expecting hi say something to help her.
Alan took the hint and cleared his throat after hesitating for a while. “Calvin, why don’t you let Queena apologize to Hanna instead? So…”
Before Alan could finish his sentence, Calvin interrupted him. “Hanna is my girlfriend. Do you think she intended to humiliate Hanna or the Gunner family by spilling wine on Hanna?”
Hearing this, Alan stopped talking. Since Calvin mentioned the Gunner family, it meant that it was not a mere pose but Calvin truly wanted to stand up for Hanna.
Thinking of this, Alan fluttered his eyes. It seemed that Calvin was more serious about Hanna than he thought.
Queena gritted her teeth and glared at Hanna, who was in Calvin’s arms. After a moment of silence, she finally apologized, “Ms. Zimmerman, I’m sorry for offending you!”
After saying that, she poured the glass of wine on her own dress, put the glass down, and turned to leave.
Queena didn’t have the face to stay any longer and couldn’t wait to leave as soon as possible.
However, she hated Hanna even more. It was Hanna’s fault that she was humiliated today.
After Queena left, Hanna hurriedly asked Calvin, “Your suit is dripping with wine. Let me wipe it off for you.”
“Don’t bother,” Calvin replied. He took off his suit and dropped it over his arm.
Inside, he wore a vest that matched his white shirt and dark tie, giving him an elegant appearance.
“You did that to Queena just now. Is it okay?” Hanna asked.
“You are my girlfriend. It served her right since she poured wine on you. Alright. Let me introduce you to some people who may be helpful to your future development,” Calvin said.
Even if they broke up in the future, he hoped that Hanna could live a good life.
This was the first time he had considered his girlfriend’s future.
Most of the people Calvin introduced to Hanna were CEOs of publishin companies or producers.
Of course, after knowing that she was a comic illustrator, they all looked at her with surprise.
They didn’t expect Calvin, the son of the entertainment industry’s most influential family, to choose an ordinary comic illustrator as his girlfriend.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.
Calvin turned his head and suddenly froze. Hanna, who was taking his arm, quickly noticed a change in his behavior.
Hanna looked up to see two persons entering the hall and others approaching to greet them.
And the two people were Jonathan and Rosalie.
Hanna had met Rosalie in the shopping mall, but she had never seen Jonathan. She later found some photos of him online.
She worried about Calvin since they came.
She raised her head and looked at Calvin, who was still staring in the direction of Rosalie.
Jonathan seemed to sense his gaze and looked over. The next second, Rosalie also looked in their direction.
For a moment, the four of them met their eyes from a distance.
“Hanna, let’s say hello to them,” Calvin whispered into her ear after a moment of silence. But his voice sounded a little nervous.
Did Calvin get nervous?
Hanna was stunned. She couldn’t believe it.
But she could feel the arm she was holding stiffening since Rosalie showed up.
Calvin was truly nervous.
While biting bit her bottom lip slightly, Hanna took the initiative to tal his hand and interlock her fingers with his.
Calvin paused and turned his head slightly, looking at her in surprise.
“Calvin, I’m your girlfriend,” Hanna said seriously,
To Calvin’s surprise, her voice made his nervousness go away.
It was incredible. He thought Hanna would feel unrest or nervous, but now she was calming him down.
“That’s right. You are my girlfriend,” he muttered to himself, walking in front of Rosalie and Jonathan with Hanna.
“What a coincidence!” Calvin greeted them.
“What a small world!” Jonathan replied, sizing Hanna up and down.
“This is my girlfriend, Hanna Zimmerman.” After introducing Hanna to Jonathan and Rosalie, Calvin said to Hanna, “This is Jonathan
Youngblood, the president of Youngblood Group, and his wife Rosalie Leighton.”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Youngblood and Mrs. Youngblood!” Hanna said politely. She then turned to Rosalie and continued, “Mrs. Youngblood, we used to meet before. I didn’t expect to see you again.”
“Nice to see you again!” Rosalie replied with a nod. She liked Hanna at first glance. “Well, you can call me Rosalie. Can I call you by your first name?”
