Chapter 25: Angel Girl
As a matter of fact, Vincent indeed sighed in low-spirit but for a totally different reason than Cathy was thinking.
He felt that the two people had been cruel to him. His cousins always taunted him whenever he got the chance. At the same time, his best friend left him with a girl he didn't want to get involved with!
Because he did lose the bet, and he had promised his parents to spend time with one of the invitations, he had no other choice.
It's just that he doesn't know how to start a conversation at all. But he could see that the girl was not that different from himself.
They both feel uncomfortable and awkward with each other. Not to mention the views of the invitees who seemed to want to pounce on both of them.
Vincent felt that they didn't care about their views. After all, with his identity as an ordinary person, the invited women were no longer looking at him enthusiastically.
But it was for the girl. It looked like other males were waiting for him to leave so they would hit on the girl. They did not care about him as Vincent was only from an ordinary family. But they saw he was a close friend with Mr. Paxton and young Ms. Bernz, so that they wouldn't take a risk to offense the young man.
Seeing that the show still started with a boring speech or greeting, he decided to try to get her out of the hall. That way, the girl didn't have a chance to return to her cousin's side, and he completed his mission tonight.
"Do you mind if we go there?" he said, pointing to the side door located a few steps from where they were standing.
The girl looked at him in confusion. Then she took a glance at Benjamin, chatting with the elders. She noticed many eyes probing her causing her nausea as she did not want to draw any unwanted attraction.
"Okay."
The two of them walked outside the circle of the invited crowd to avoid any spies who wanted to find an opening to cause trouble.
As soon as they opened the balcony door, their faces were greeted by a cold breeze and a fragrant aroma.
Regardless of the person beside her, Cathy inhaled the fragrance while closing her eyes. She did not realize that her feet had walked away from the door and approached the source of the scent she smelled.
Vincent blinked his eyes in disbelief at what he saw. This was the first time he had seen a girl who had entered her own world but still looked beautiful.
What the male invitees said was true. When the girl entered together with his cousin, not a few of the invitees expressed their admiration for the girl.
The girl before him was like a beautiful angel descending to earth. As if she had just arrived and seen a scene that had never been explored before, the girl walked straight to the end of the balcony.
He could almost see the girl flapping her wings on her back and flying away from him. The flowing brown, reddish hair fluttered beautifully as the wind blew their way.
He could not see the girl's expression because now the girl's position was getting farther away from him. But he believed, if only he brought the camera, he would capture the beautiful moment.
After leaving one of the balcony doors ajar, Vincent walked casually towards the girl while trying to recall the girl's name.
Catherine. He remembered his cousin called the girl that name.
Closer to the end of the balcony where Catherine stood, one could see a garden full of various flowers below.
Not far from it was a wall of creeping plants on either side of a road. Judging by its shape, which could be seen from their position on the second floor, it seemed like it was a maze.
Vincent also saw that several lights were not too bright on both sides of the road where beautiful flowers were planted below.
Arrghh!!
He should have brought his camera to take this extraordinary scene! Vincent exclaimed irritably. Of course, he didn't say it directly. He kept his regret in his heart.
After being satisfied enjoying the scenery below, he turned to the person standing beside him. He just realized that the girl was still closing her eyes, smiling.
"Did you see it? Isn't it lovely?" Vincent tried to start a conversation.
He saw Catherine's eyelashes flickering and open slowly. But what he saw did not match his expectations. The girl's smile disappeared in an instant, and her gaze felt cold.
He almost even felt an unfriendly aura from the girl's vibe.
Wait... why does he feel like he has experienced something like this?
Where? When?
At that time, he thought he had met that girl? Who is this girl, really? Where have they met?
Why was it that every time he was with that girl, his heartfelt uncomfortable? And why does his heart feel guilty as if he had done something wrong to the girl?
What ridiculous thinking. Vincent never met the girl before, so why should he feel guilty?
Vincent averted his gaze from the cold expression beside him and stared at the sky.
There were no stars or anything he could see to make his mood better.
In the end, neither of them spoke for the next few minutes.
