So, she had been waiting for Jenna Clark to introduce her.
In her view, she was definitely the future Mrs. Campbell; Jamuna Ford even gave face to the impoverished relatives of the Clark family, so he couldn’t possibly not give face to his future wife.
It was because of this puzzling yet clear premonition that, after seeing Jenna Clark completely ignore her, she finally spoke out to question her.
As a result, Jamuna Ford directly said in front of everyone that he did not want to know who she was.
Although his words were light, they immediately swelled her face with embarrassment.
The expression on Melody Baker’s face became twisted in an instant, and as she faced the "attentive" looks from those around her, Melody Baker felt even more irritated.
This time, even James Campbell hadn’t expected Melody Baker to cause trouble at such an occasion, and his complexion grew even uglier.
He didn’t even need to look at the expressions of the people around to know how they would privately laugh at him for bringing someone who wasn’t presentable to such a place.
Recalling the times he had attended banquets with Jenna Clark in the past, she had been graceful and proper, always earning him a lot of face; now looking at Melody Baker...
He realized that every time he brought Melody Baker to major events, people generally regarded him as a joke.
By comparison, the strange emotion in James Campbell’s heart that had started when Jenna Clark appeared at the banquet grew even stronger.
His gaze briefly lingered unnoticeably over Jenna Clark’s beautiful face and figure, then he withdrew his gaze and turned to Melody Baker, saying in a deep voice,
"You’d better say less."
Melody Baker, who had already lost all face due to Jamuna’s words, did not expect James Campbell, who usually adored her, to scold her in public, and was instantly so angry she couldn’t even breathe.
Just as she was about to say something, she heard Jenna Clark looking at her with a smile and speaking,
"The way of hospitality, of course, pertains to treating guests, and since you came uninvited, following CEO Campbell to freeload food and drink, my ignoring you was already giving you the greatest face."
Her eyes narrowed, a few touches of chill blending into her gentle face, "If you want me to take it seriously, your behavior of freeloading like a beggar, I could certainly have you thrown out."
"But, today is indeed my father’s big day, and I really shouldn’t ignore you, so shall I now formally introduce you?"
As she spoke, she smiled at Jamuna Ford, whose eyebrows furrowed involuntarily, and then Jenna Clark pointed to Melody Baker and introduced,
"This is the close confidante who has been by CEO Campbell’s side for over twenty years; now...,"
Jenna paused, her face showing a thoughtful expression, then she smiled and added, "I hear she hasn’t been made official yet, so let’s just call her CEO Campbell’s girlfriend for now."
With that introduction from Jenna, Melody Baker’s face had already darkened like the bottom of a pot, her features twisted in anger.
As if that wasn’t enough, Jamuna Ford’s displeased voice then sounded heavily, "Senior sister."
He did not look at Melody Baker, but his eyes tightly fixed on Jenna Clark’s face, the depths of his eyes flickering with a light that others couldn’t read.
"Though I am indeed approachable, you shouldn’t introduce just any sort of trash to me."
Jamuna Ford’s words stripped Melody Baker of her dignity, not giving her the slightest bit of face.
Indeed, Jamuna Ford, from an outsider’s perspective, was truly approachable, so approachable that even a beggar on the street approaching him could receive a response and a friendly chat.
