When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster
Chapter 80: President Lancaster Is a Little Jealous
CHAPTER 80: CHAPTER 80: PRESIDENT LANCASTER IS A LITTLE JEALOUS
"This is just made; it’s said to be the highlight dessert of tonight, the masterpiece of the Italian dessert chef," Adrian Lancaster began softly, gently pulling her thoughts back.
Ivy Jennings, like a puppet whose thoughts had been taken away, dumbfoundedly followed the instructions, came back to her senses, and reached out to steadily take the cake and silver fork, even forgetting to say thank you.
Originally, with the president treating her like this, she should have been very moved.
As for Adrian Lancaster, his purpose achieved, he turned and left.
Watching him leave, Ivy Jennings seemed to hear the sound of her own heart breaking. Which woman was so lucky to marry him?
And the funny thing was, Faye Turner herself wasn’t wearing a wedding ring.
In an occasion like tonight’s, as long as she wore the wedding ring, her identity as Mrs. Lancaster would be exposed.
Even if she designed her series, ’Love at First Sight’, well in the future, people would say she got her position through a man.
She didn’t want to hear rumors! She wanted to prove her ability with talent.
"Faye Turner." Dustin Shepherd approached her with a delicate piece of cake, smiling as he handed over the silver fork, "Want to try? This dessert is called ’Fairytale’, from fairytales, just like your name."
"Fairytale?" She was a bit surprised, "Nice name."
"The taste is also very nice." Dustin Shepherd enjoyed seeing her beautiful large eyes, watching her with a smile on her face.
As long as he was close to her, he felt a sense of peace.
"Thank you." Faye Turner reached out to take it. She knew tonight’s dessert chefs were very professional; trying it, she might not only replicate it but also innovate.
In Dustin Shepherd’s presence, she took a small bite, "Hmm, the taste is alright, but I can make something even tastier; I’ll make some for you to try another day!"
The girl’s cheerful nature was such that in her happiness, she blurted it out.
In Dustin Shepherd’s ears, this was good news that filled him with anticipation, so he smiled, "Great!" His eyes still shining as he looked at her.
Faye Turner immediately realized it wasn’t appropriate! She was married!
So she smiled and explained, "Consider it my thank you for rescuing me that day at the hair salon entrance."
In this way, she distanced their relationship. Although Dustin Shepherd’s face still carried a smile, his heart felt uneasy.
And Adrian Lancaster somehow appeared beside Faye Turner. She inadvertently turned her eyes and saw him.
The girl’s heart lightly skipped with worry, afraid Adrian Lancaster would blame her for not keeping her distance and take it out on Dustin Shepherd.
After all, he even drove out his cousin Brandon Lancaster.
Faye Turner holding the cake, glanced at him, then turned and left, as if avoiding suspicion.
Dustin Shepherd watched the girl’s retreating figure, and Adrian Lancaster’s gaze towards Dustin Shepherd carried a deeper chill.
At some point, Adrian Lancaster’s possessiveness had intensified.
Dustin Shepherd pulled himself together, withdrew his smile, and met the president’s gaze, "President, yesterday Brandon Lancaster caused trouble for Faye Turner."
Hearing this news, Adrian Lancaster was slightly taken aback and asked calmly, "What exactly happened?"
After Dustin Shepherd shared what he had seen and heard, Adrian Lancaster’s handsome face turned so dark it seemed like it could drip water, "I understand."
Dustin Shepherd didn’t know what he planned to do, but he had a hunch Brandon Lancaster was playing with fire.
He couldn’t help but wonder, what was the relationship between the president and Faye Turner?
After the evening party.
Mr. Mark wanted to send someone to take Faye Turner home. She firmly refused, smilingly delaying in every way, because she didn’t want him to discover her real identity as Mrs. Lancaster.
In the Lamborghini on the way back to Aqua Flora Residences, after a long contemplation, Adrian Lancaster still called Faye Turner, "How are you planning to get back?"
"I... can’t get a cab, I’m walking towards the main road outside," Faye Turner was alone, "to see if it’s better to hail a taxi outside."
"Wait in a crowded place; I’ll send someone to pick you up." With that, he hung up the call.
