Jocelyn looked at Eliza gently, feeling warm inside. “Eliza, thank you!”

A radiant smile quickly appeared on Eliza’s face as she suggested, “Take your bag and let’s go. It’ll be too late if we don’t leave now.”

“Alright!”

Jocelyn quickly packed up her things and followed Eliza downstairs with her bag. The moment she went downstairs, she saw the car parked outside the villa.

The driver nodded at the two ladies.

“Just take Jocelyn to the party. Don’t worry about me.”

Eliza walked up to the driver and said, “Remember, you have to send Miss Jocelyn to the banquet safely. Do you hear me?”

“Got it, Miss. Don’t worry!” Seeing how serious Miss was, the driver quickly nodded in agreement.

Jocelyn quickly got into the car and glanced at her watch. There were still fifteen minutes until the banquet started. If nothing went wrong, she would definitely arrive on time.

“Be careful on the way. Send Miss Jocelyn there on time!” Eliza looked at the starting car and instructed again.

Soon, the car disappeared in front of her. Eliza walked to her motorcycle and jumped on it. The next second, she started the engine, and the sound of a motor was heard.

…

Sitting in the car, Jocelyn felt a little more at ease. Looking at the time on her phone, she tightened her grip on the invitation card. She was still not mentally prepared for what was about to happen tonight.

After the announcement that she would be Mr. Brown’s fiancée, she would have to face the attention of the entire New York City. This pressure was obviously something that Jocelyn had never experienced.

At the thought of her father and stepmother, Jocelyn felt bitter and uneasy.

The driver was good at driving, and the buildings outside the window flashed by quickly. What Jocelyn wasn’t aware of was that someone was worried about her.

…

“What? Jocelyn didn’t come with her parents?” Aren put down the documents in his hand and asked.

His brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were as sharp as a cheetah’s. His usually cold face was even more intimidating, making people’s hearts tighten.

The banquet would start in five minutes. As the host of this banquet, Aren did not have to go out to welcome guests for the time being, so he still sat in his study and go through the files.

What made him panic was that Jocelyn did not show up with her parents.

This situation was obviously something that Aren had never expected.

The contract between the two of them had been signed and now it was in effect. Jocelyn had also agreed to all the terms of the marriage contract. On the day of the announcement of their marriage, Jocelyn went missing. This made Aren feel really worried.

Was she going back on her word?

Aren looked sharply at his assistant, Luke. His slightly furrowed brows indicated that he was in a bad mood, and the coldness on his face deepened.

Luke looked up and was shocked to see the look in Young Master Aren’s eyes. He knew that Young Master was unhappy, and quickly said, “Young Master, don’t think too much. Maybe Miss Jocelyn is delayed on the road and will be here soon. Why don’t… you call Miss?”

He raised his voice and looked at Aren.

At this moment, Aren looked embarrassed.

Luke asked cautiously, “Are you telling me you don’t even have Miss’s phone number now? Then… do you have other contacts?”

As the CEO’s assistant, Luke naturally knew that Miss Jocelyn and Young Master had signed a contract. However, he didn’t expect them to not even have each other’s phone call.

After hearing what Luke said, Aren opened his mouth slightly, looking even more embarrassed.

“When can you start to take initiative? If you take initiative, things won’t end up like this.” Luke sighed silently.

Aren opened his mouth and sighed. “Go and wait at the door. Bring her in immediately when you see her. Take care of her at the banquet too. Don’t let anyone bully her.”

There was a hint of tenderness in her voice.

Luke immediately nodded and agreed. “I’ll wait at the door. I’ll bring Miss in as soon as she arrives.”

When Luke was out of the room, the image of Jocelyn’s face appeared in his mind.

Her fair face blushed at his teasing. At the thought, Aren felt his stomach tighten and his mouth go dry..
