Chapter 50: Bring Me Along
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Serenity and Sam walked back and forth outside the hotel for a long time. Countless people from the political and corporate world showed their invitations cards before they were invited into the venue, yet the two of them could only be frantic about their lack of invitation card.
Today was Mrs. Sawyer’s charity fundraiser event. Not only were there staff who checked invitation cards, but there were also security protection measures from the hotel. This made it impossible for them to sneak inside.
Sam scratched his head in panic. “Don’t you know some businessmen? Let them bring us in.”
Benjamin went on a business trip two days ago and the invitation was sent to the company, so she could not acquire it.
Gabriel had just entered. He clearly saw her walking back and forth around the area yet he ignored her. What could she do?
Sam’s sharp eyes saw a pair of woman and man carrying camera bags, and they passed a document to the staff, not an invitation card.
He asked, “What is the occupation of that pair who just went in?”
Serenity did not notice and glared at him. “How could you still care about other people’s occupation at a time like this?”
Sam had a wronged look. “No, they did not pass an invitation card. They seemed to have passed some kind of document.”
Serenity stared at the hotel entrance. At that moment, two men walked closer and took out a document from their pockets. The staff member took a look and let them in.
Other than invitation cards, documents could be used too?
What kind of document?
Sam touched his chin and muttered to himself, “What kind of document…”
The two of them entered deep thought before a lightbulb went off in their heads and the two people exclaimed at the same time, “Journalist’s pass!”
Mrs. Sawyer’s charity fundraiser event was no doubt trying to build up a good reputation for her husband and to acquire the title of being a good wife. She definitely would invite many reporters from different newspapers and magazine agencies.
There was another group of men and women who carried cameras coming. One row had seven to eight people.
When he passed by them, Sam took out his camera and mixed in with the group.
At the hotel entrance, the first two people at the front showed their journalist’s pass, and the staff member saw the cameras in their hands. Hence, the rest were not required to show their passes and were let in immediately.
Sneaking one person in was better than nothing, so the interview could only be entrusted to Sam.
Serenity calmed her frantic feelings and waited outside the hotel in boredom. “Serene?” said a man’s voice that held a hint of curiosity.
She raised her head. The man who was in front of her was John, who was wearing a suit. Behind him was Alfred, who was also wearing a suit.
She was startled as she looked at her surroundings but could not spot Selena. “Mr. Grant, are you alone? Didn’t my elder sister come?”
When he heard himself being called “Mr. Grant,” his brows slightly furrowed, though it was unnoticeable to others. “Eva is sick so she stayed home to take care of her.”
She gently muttered “oh” in a deep voice before linking her arms with his. “Since Mr. Grant has no female partner, then bring me along with you.”
John froze and lowered his eyes to look at her arm, which hooked onto his arm. Before he could ask her the purpose of her appearance here, he was whisked away to the hotel entrance by her.
Outside the hotel, Alfred took out the invitation card, and the staff member let them in after taking a look at it.
When they entered the venue, Serenity let go of John’s arm. “Mr. Grant, thank you for bringing me in. I have something on so I will take my leave.”
With that, she mixed in with the crowd without waiting for his query and looked around for Sam.
John looked at her as she walked through the crowd and told Alfred, “Follow her and see what she’s up to..”
