Chapter 746 - Two Days Before Wedding (J&J) (7)



By the time Sarah reached the door, Eve already informed her that Harriet Morgan is at the main entrance as well as her connection with Whites.

"…I don\'t understand. I just want to wish them all the best.", Harriet\'s sweet voice laced with irritation reached Sarah as soon as she walked out of the venue hall.

Sarah tapped shoulder of the bodyguard who was blocking Harriet\'s path in order to inform him that she arrived.

The man looked at Sarah and exhaled in relief.

Harriet, on the other side, took Sarah\'s arrival as a signal that she can proceed inside. She smirked at the bodyguard and made a step toward the door.

Harriet was outraged when Sarah blocked her way.

"What is the meaning of this? My family has close business and personal relationship with Whites…", Harriet hissed at Sarah.

"Do you have an invitation for tonight?", Sarah asked with a small smile.

Harriet blinked few times. "No, but…"

"Miss Morgan…", Sarah\'s sudden interruption earned a gasp of shock from Harriet.

\'She knows who I am? And still she is refusing to let me pass? Does that mean that all this is some play in order to humiliate me?\'

The more Sarah spoke, the more dazed Harriet became.

"…This event is for a small group of people, personally selected by the bride and the groom. If you don\'t have an invitation, that probably means that your personal relationship with either of them is not close enough. The fact that your father has a business relationship with the father of the groom does not guarantee you entry to this event. Do you really want to crash the party uninvited like some drunkard from the street looking for free food and drinks?"

Sarah\'s words made Harriet\'s head spin. No one ever dared to talk to her like that! And did she just compare her with a drunkard from the street? Does she not see that her dress alone is worth few thousands?

Suddenly, Harriet\'s attitude changed from a fragile and wronged woman to a she-snake. Harriet viciously glared at Sarah while squeezing through her teeth: "You are…"

"In charge of security.", Sarah ended her sentence with a smug smile.

"My father will find out about this! Are you ready to deal with the consequences?!" Harriet stomped her foot angrily and her eyes were almost crazy. She was never humiliated like this!

Sarah smirked. "Please do tell him how you are creating a scene in a public place while trying to attend a party you are not invited to."

Harriet harrumphed loudly and stomped away.

Sarah was partly disappointed that the woman didn\'t attack her physically. If that happened, Sarah could \'defend\' herself. Self-defense is justified. And with all the cameras in place, she would have the evidence that she is not the first one to launch an attack, hence not responsible for any injuries that could occur. Too bad that this pampered Miss decided to walk away.

Sarah praised the guards for good work and encouraged them to stay vigilant before heading back inside.

"Based on your expression, it went well.", Aiden observed Sarah\'s smug smile when she returned to the event hall.

"Putting people in their place feels good." Sarah didn\'t deny it.

That woman is full of herself and denying her something she thinks she is entitled to, felt good. While thinking about pampered women who believe they are entitled to a special treatment… another image flashed in Sarah\'s mind: a woman from the reception desk earlier that day… with oversized Gucci sunglasses. Sarah shook her head. She should not waste any time or braincells on such women.

"The music started...", Sarah glanced at the band on the stage and then took one bite-sized appetizer.

Sarah observed that Aiden\'s plate is clean, and the serving plate in front of them is full, except for two missing pieces.

"How come you are not eating? They are good. Here, have some…", she stuffed one in Aiden\'s mouth and bobbed her head slightly following the beat of the music.

Seeing Sarah cheerful, next to him… made his appetite return and he was back to munching on the appetizers.

Ellie was chatting with Emma and Jill on her left and was surprised when Jasper sat on her right. She is sure that Sharon was sitting there… but then she saw that Sharon and Millie moved one spot away. \'Did he make them move so that he can sit next to me?\' Ellie shook that thought away. Why would he do that? Unless... he wants to tease her, again. Ellie decided to ignore him, if possible.

Less than one minute later, Ellie found that it\'s impossible to ignore Jasper. He would always reach for the appetizer plate which is on Ellie\'s left in a way that made him almost lean on her.

"You have appetizers in front of you...", Ellie reminded him, while pointing at the untouched plate on his right, even though after the third time she figured out that he is doing it on purpose.

"Those next to you are tastier." Jasper grinned while reaching for another one.

Ellie exhaled loudly and swapped two serving plates.

"I thought that the ones from that plate are tastier...", Ellie squeezed between her teeth when Jasper reached for the appetizers on her left. That plate was next to him just a moment earlier!

"No. I said that the ones next to YOU are tastier. It has nothing to do with the plate.", Jasper reminded Ellie while her expression changes entertained him. He never knew that a person can convey emotions from confusion to irritation just by moving eyebrows. And the way she pouts her lips is… cute.

Ellie thought that he is really shameless. And she is not in the mood to play games. She came here to be the maid of honor on her best friend\'s wedding! Whatever he is up to, it\'s better to cut it down early, before it starts growing into something bigger and more difficult to stop.

"What do you want?"

Jasper answered calmly, ignoring her frustration. "To talk to you."

"Why?" Ellie didn\'t see why would such a handsome-playboy come at her. She didn\'t even wear anything too attention grabbing, and her makeup is minimalistic.

Jasper\'s icy-blue eyes locked on hers. "Do I need a reason to talk with a woman I find interesting and attractive?"

Ellie touched her chin, just to make sure her mouth is not gaping open. What did he just say? And what\'s with that charming smile? How is she supposed to respond to this?
