Chapter 192 - Commotion (2/2)
”And I'm definitely sure that your boyfriend can at least afford to get you a new one from one of the latest collections. After all, he is the vice CEO of his father's company.” She added the final blow.
Benjamin who was standing quietly after Katherine had come over, decided to speak up. ”Let it go Cara. Don't drag it too much.”
His reply made the model's face scrunch in annoyance. 'How could this man take someone else's side?'
”I am not dragging it, they are honey. I am just demanding what's right. Everyone here is watching me in my soaked state. It's only right for her to apologise to me in front of everyone. I can turn a blind eye to whatever damage she did to my dress, but she needs to apologise.” Cara can let go of the dress after what Katherine had said, but in no way she will let this little slut go without a proper apology after being so dramatic.

Adam heaved out a tired sigh after disconnecting the call. His mind was a wreck as he tried to think over things. Why would someone want to hurt his people? Why? The question was eating his mind, making him frustrated beyond his limits. He wouldn't have minded if they had targeted his company, but why his man.
He quietly walked up to his car after putting away his phone back his coat's pocket. Fishing out the key, he unlocked it and opened the door of the passenger side. He took out a lighter and a sealed packet of cigarettes and a lighter. It's been too long since he even touched one of these.
Taking out one of the cigarettes from the box, he put it in between his teeth before throwing the box back inside the dashboard. He lit up his cigarette and took a long drag. Putting the lighter away in its original place, he unlocked the car. A couple of drags later, he felt himself relax a bit as the smoke filled his lungs, the nicotine calming his nerves down.
When he was done with it, he threw the burnt cigarette butt in a nearby trash bin after extinguishing it out. He cursed himself for not keeping a breath mint on him. He was sure that Stella is gonna give him an earful. Hoping for the best for himself, he began to head back towards the hall.
As soon as he took a step inside, his gaze drifted towards the commotion which was happening close to the entrance. He shook his head sideways and decided to turn a blind eye to it. Not that it concerned him anyways. He had only taken a step further when he stopped as a familiar voice entered his ears.
”I am not apologizing to you or anyone else. You are the one who dragged it this much. I remember saying sorry to you right away after it happened.”
His feet took him to the crowd on their own. He stopped at a small distance from the crowd.
”What's going on here?” His firm voice resonated through the hall even though he wasn't too loud.
The murmuring of the crowd died down as people shifted their attention to the owner of the voice. The guests parted to the sides to give him clear access to see what was going on. Nobody wanted to be in the line of sight of the Adam Levinson.
