Chapter 187 The Cold Expression in his Eyes
Chapter 187 The Cold Expression in his Eyes
Although birthday parties were held to entertain people, Adelaide knew well that Antonio wouldn't play
guitar in public. After all, Antonio was the boss of a listed company. He would definitely think it
inappropriate for him to do so.
Jerry snapped his finger with a confident expression, "It all depends on human effort. I promise that
Antonio would play guitar in public if you go to the party with me."
Looking at his expression, Adelaide felt that he wasn't lying. Therefore, she nodded slowly, agreeing to
go to Antonio's birthday party with him.
She really wanted to see what Antonio would be like when he played guitar. Maybe he would look very
charming, Adelaide thought.
J City was particularly beautiful at night. Sitting on the back seat of Jerry's car and looking at cars and
lights outside the window, Adelaide thought of something.
She had long not paid attention to scenery around her. Now, she found it wonderful after suddenly
looking at it carefully.
When she was thinking, Jerry stopped the car. Adelaide pushed these thoughts away and looked
straight. Although she just watched through the window, she knew that the hotel, which was not far
from her, was luxurious.
"Isn't the party held in South Wind Hotel this year?" Adelaide still remembered how bustling it was
when Antonio held his birthday party in South Wind Hotel last year.
Jerry answered while he unfastened his seat belt, "Yes. This hotel belongs to the Swan Group.
Recently, there are some cooperation between the Baron Group and the Swan Group. Therefore,
Antonio choose to hold his birthday party here, giving some benefit to the Swan Group."
It took Antonio a tremendous amount of money to hold his birthday party. The money Antonio spent
tonight was probably more than two months' net profit of this hotel. It could be said to be a valuable gift.
After entering the hotel, Adelaide was shocked by the luxury hotel even though she had already been
psychologically prepared.
A huge amethyst lamp was suspended from the ceiling of the hotel, giving out a bright and somewhat
charming light. The columns were so enormous that it would take several people to encircle one by
joining hands.
Tables covered with white tablecloth were put together, forming a variety of shapes. There was a large
empty space in the wall of the hotel. The wall on one side of the empty space was paved with marble;
and glasses separated the space in the wall from the hall.
In the empty space, there were green pine trees and white snow.
Adelaide was surprised. Although she was also from a famous family, it was the first time that she had
seen such a decoration style in a hotel.
In the center of the hotel was a round stage. Under the bright lights of crystal lamps, the stage looked
especially nice. Through the interspace of the crowd, Adelaide saw Antonio who was standing in the
brightest spot.
She dropped her eyes, fearing that Antonio would suddenly turn around and then saw her through the
interspace of the crowd.
However, she was overanxious. Antonio didn't see her. He stood in the center of the stage and
continued his speech.
Jerry pulled Adelaide and took her to a corner, "Do you want Antonio to see you?"
Adelaide shook her head decisively.
Jerry nodded, "Well, let's eat some food here first. After Antonio finishs his speech, I'll go to him and
send him the guitar. Then, I would ask him to play a song. How about that?"
"Great." Adelaide was really a bit hungry because she left home without having dinner. She picked up a
piece of white pastry, put it beside her mouth and took a little bite.
Soon, Antonio finished his speech, after which he left the stage leisurely. Jerry wiped his mouth and
approached Jerry with the guitar.
Adelaide watched it without saying anything.
Antonio was surrounded by many beautiful young women as soon as he left the stage. These women
were beautiful and were not ordinary people. They were either ladies from rich families in J City or the
bosses of companies in J City.
Naturally, they were outstanding women who were picky. And Antonio was an outstanding man. He
was not only handsome, but was also the most talented one of the younger generation.
Therefore, these women naturally regarded Antonio as the most charming man in their heart. If Antonio
wasn't already married, they wouldn't just surround him.
"Mr. Antonio, would you like to have a drink with me?" A woman with red lips smiled at Antonio.
Antonio didn't pay any attention to her at all. She was such a vulgar woman that Antonio wouldn't let
her attend his birthday party if she wasn't the daughter of the boss of the Swan Group.
Seeing his attitude, the woman obviously felt that she had lost face in public and became so angry that
she stamped her foot, "Mr. Antonio, I heard that you are not getting along well with your wife recently."
When she felt annoyed, she suddenly remembered the press conference that Adelaide had held
before. She blurted out what she had just said as if she had got a chance to save her face. Antonio,
weren't you proud? Let me see if you could continue to be proud now.
You were just a president of a company. Big deal! Besides, you didn't create the company from nothing.
Humph!
Originally, Antonio was walking straight. However, after hearing what she had said, he suddenly turned
around and looked at her with cold eyes.
The woman still wanted to say something, but stopped herself from doing so after Antonio looked at her
like that.
She even somewhat panicked because she felt that Antonio was going to do something to the
detriment of her.
People around were also frightened by the sudden cold expression in Antonio's eyes. Suddenly, people
around quieted down abruptly.
Just when everyone thought that Antonio was about to do something, there was suddenly a tumult in Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
the crowd. A moment later, Jerry appeared in front of Antonio, "Antonio, this is the present from
Adelaide."
As he spoke, Jerry shook the guitar in his hand, "She knew that you like playing guitar, so she specially
send you one on your birthday. How about that? Do you like it? Are you moved?" Jerry put the guitar
into Antonio's arms as he said playfully.
Antonio looked at the guitar with gentle eyes and the cold expression in his eyes completely
disappeared in an instant. However, no one had seen this because he lowered his head.
"Adelaide also said that she wants very much to listen to a song played by you." Jerry added.
Antonio touched the guitar with one hand and asked in a light voice, "Is she here?"
"Er, no. However, you can play a song now. It's not bad if I record a video for her." Jerry said with a
smile.
