An Enchanted Innocence

Chapter 30

When the car door opened, Ethan alighted from the car, but did not walk in on his own like he usually would have.

Instead, he stretched out his hand in a gentlemanly manner and took Serena's hand in his.

Leading her out of the car, he lifted his arm slightly and motioned for her to hook his arm and walk into the venue together. When the two of them appeared, a commotion broke out in the ballroom!

Everyone's eyes spontaneously turned toward the direction of these two people...

"Follow me and don't be nervous," Ethan said coolly.

"I'm not nervous!"

"Then why are you trembling?"

Serena: "..."

Standing right next to her was an iceberg. Was it any surprise that she was freezing cold?

After a bit of quibbling with Serena, it did relieve some of the pressure of being watched by a thousand pairs of eyes. She had totally not realized that her appearance had taken everyone's breath away. Dressed in a custom-made evening dress, her naturally outstanding facial features and womanly curves were even more defined.

She looked heavenly like a goddess having a cold aura around her while her eyes had a look of purity. In that instant, it made the men feel a desire to conquer her. Seeing the expressions on the faces of the men around them, Ethan's face darkened.

Sensing that Serena had not noticed how she was causing a stir among the guests, his eyes narrowed. Then, his arm unhooked itself from her arm.

Before she could even react, he had already clasped his hand over hers.

"Wow..."

The people surrounding them gasped audibly. To think that The Ethan Anderson, who had always steered clear of the opposite sex, would actually take the initiative to hold hands with a woman...

Very quickly, the people also noticed that the two of them looked like they were dressed matching outfits!

Although Ethan was clad in a black suit, there was a blue flower brooch adorning his jacket. The colorful arrangement was exactly the same as the floral designs on Serena's dress!

His necktie was also color-coordinated with Serena's outfit...Serena had not realized that their outfits had such designs. Instead, she was startled by him suddenly holding her hand with his!

She turned toward him and was going to ask him what this was about, but he spoke up first and said, "I am worried that you have not attended a grand event like this before. I better hold you to play it safe, just in case you get too excited and fall flat on your face.'

Serena: "...!!" "Is he forgetting that I am also a businesswoman who had attended parties before...So much to care! Humph!"

There was a curse word in her heart that she was dying to say to him!

After walking past the red carpet, they finally got to the champagne tower. Serena could not wait to release that person's hand. Yet, Ethan was still holding her tightly and not letting go. He feared that should he let go, she would run off without a trace like a stray kitten.

Serena wanted to protest against this, but when she saw that several people were approaching Ethan with wine glasses in order to raise a toast to him, she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Standing obediently next to him, her face wore a gracious smile the whole time.

As she listened to the mindless chatter of the people around her, her eyes roamed about restlessly until she suddenly caught sight of a handsome figure entering from outside.

Someone shrieked out loud, "Scott has arrived!"

Most of the guests who attended such a formal business ball were public figures from the business industry. Everyone valued this rare chance to mingle with people of the same trade. As such, almost all the guests were holding wine glasses as they shuttled between the crowds and greeted one another. No one could surpass Ethan's popularity among all the guests.

From the time when he entered the venue of the ball, he had not shifted his position at all. Numerous guests proposed a toast and greeted him as he stood there calmly with his honorable figure.

Serena had attempted, but really could not get a word in edgeways. Hence, she walked around to explore the area out of boredom, but didn't expect that she would meet Scott, who was heading in!

According to Media, he was the top the list of Ethan's opponent in Business world!

Due to this exclamation, almost everyone shifted their gazes toward the direction of the entrance of the ballroom.

There were also plenty of female celebrities who stepped forward when they saw people rushing up to Scott Johnson and asking for his autograph. Scott, who just entered the ballroom, was surrounded by layers of people in the blink of an eye! His level of attractiveness was second only to Ethan!
