Benjamin immediately realized that Elizabeth was jealous.
The same went for Elizabeth. The two of them had no definite relationship, so how could she be jealous?
He immediately explained, "I know her, so I took a second look."
"Huh?" Elizabeth asked in confusion, "Do you know such a beautiful woman?"
Benjamin said snappishly, "What do you mean? She is my boss at the hospital, the director of the Surgery Department, Sophia Scott!"
"Sophia Scott?" Elizabeth scratched her head, as if she had never heard of this name before.
But then she said to Benjamin very domineeringly, "I don't care who she is, anyway, you can't keep staring at her, otherwise I will be angry!"
"Okay, okay, fine! I will not look at her later, happy now?" Benjamin raised his hand and begged for mercy.
After Sophia Scott came in, a man in a black suit immediately walked over, "Miss Sophia!"
"Where's Mr. Quinlan?" Sophia Scott asked.
The big man hurriedly said, "Miss Sophia, Mr. Quinlan will be here soon!"
Just as he was talking, a host stood on the stage, holding a microphone and said to everyone, "Thank you everyone for coming to the banquet hosted by Mr. Quinlan. The arrival of all the distinguished guests has made this place shine. Now, please welcome Mr. Quinlan on stage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in a sky blue suit slowly walked from backstage to the front desk.
This man was really handsome. He was at least 1.8 meters tall and had a scornful look that could definitely attract all women.
Sure enough, as soon as Gabriel Quinlan appeared, many women in the hall immediately turned their eyes towards him, and their eyes shining brightly. They wanted to rush up and get to know this handsome young master from Tromaville City.
Gabriel Quinlan walked up to the stage and said with a smile, "Thank you for coming to my banquet. Long story short, I came to Eastern Sea City to open the branch of our family’s Skyvast Group in Eastern Sea City. Since I am new to your place, I hope you can give me some advice. I also hope that everyone of you could attend the branch’s open day ceremony!”
As soon as these words came out, many people applauded.
"Mr. Harrison, do you know that Skyvast Group came to our Eastern Sea City to open a branch?" asked a middle-aged man.
Nathan Harrison shook his head, but he felt unhappy in his heart. The Skyvast Group came to Eastern Sea City to open a branch, but they only held a banquet to make an announcement and didn't even communicate with him in advance. This clearly meant that they didn't take him seriously.
What, coming from Tromaville City was a big deal rather than taking Nathan Harrison seriously?
At this time, Gabriel focused on Sophia Scott and said with a smile, "Also, let me introduce to you my fiancée, Sophia Scott, the first lady from the Scott Family in Tromaville City !"
Gabriel made an invitation gesture to Sophia Scott. While Sophia slowly walked onto the stage, her expression was a little unnatural.
How could she not understand what Gabriel meant? It was to declare sovereignty to everyone and tell the people here that Sophia Scott was Gabriel Quinlan’s wife, so don’t try to take advantage of her!
Benjamin looked at Sophia with surprise. He didn't expect that Sophia Scott was the first lady of the Scott Family in Tromaville City!
He then felt something was wrong. Why did the eldest daughter of a big family want to work as a doctor in Eastern Sea Hospital?
After Gabriel gave some more polite words, he ended his speech with a smile, "Okay, no more nonsense. I hope everyone can have a good drink today and go home with a lot of fun!"
Afterwards, he and Sophia walked off the stage.
Afterwards, many patriarchs of the second-rate Eastern Sea City families hurriedly gathered around Gabriel Quinlan.
"Mr. Quinlan is so young, yet so capable. He is indeed a young talent!"
"Mr. Quinlan can come to our Eastern Sea City and take good care of us in the future!"
"It's such a blessing to see Mr. Quinlan today!"
Listening to everyone's flattery, Gabriel felt very proud. He held the wine glass and gestured to everyone.
All the patriarch hurriedly drank the wine in their glasses, but Gabriel just took a gentle sip.
Looking at the situation on the field, Benjamin felt a little irritable for some reason.
Speaking of which, he and Sophia Scott were just ordinary friends at best, but seeing her standing next to another man today made him feel a little uncomfortable.
After a while, everyone dispersed, and as the music played, many people went to the dance floor to dance.
Elizabeth also went to dance with her father, Nathan Harrison. Benjamin was bored by himself, so he leaned against the window and drank.
"Benjamin!"
A smart voice came, and Benjamin turned around and saw that it was Sophia Scott.
Sophia noticed Benjamin from the moment she first entered the meeting hall, and was a little surprised at how Benjamin could appear in this place.
"Director Scott!"
Benjamin smiled slightly, "I didn't expect you to hide your secrets. You are not only the first lady of the Tromaville City’s Scott Family, but also the fiancée of the oldest young master of the Tromaville City’s Quinlan Family."
Sophia glanced at Gabriel, who was surrounded by the crowd, and sighed, "Once you borned in a wealthy family, your destiny is planned. From that moment onwards, your destiny is no longer up to you. I am sure that you should have heard this sentence!"
"Huh?" Benjamin was stunned and looked at Sophia in confusion.
Sophia shared her stories, "Even though those young ladies from rich families always look glamorous on the surface, in fact, it is a luxury to have a love of our own. I have been engaged to Gabriel Quinlan since I was young, but I have never liked it. Moreover, I wanted to avoid him, but the day finally came!”
There was disappointment in Sophia's tone, and Benjamin even heard a lot of despair.
He smiled and said, "These things are not for me to judge, but I believe that if there’s a will, there’s a way. You will definitely get out of this predicament!"
"I hope so!"
Sophia shrugged. She glanced at the dance floor, and smiled, "Let's go dance!"
"Uh… but..." Benjamin was a little embarrassed, "I can't!"
"It doesn't matter. I'll teach you!"
Sophia Scott took Benjamin's hand and walked onto the dance floor.
"Put your hands on my waist. First your left foot, then your right foot..."
Sophia taught Benjamin very patiently. Being close, Benjamin could smell the faint fragrance of Sophia Scott's body and was distracted for a moment.
It was true that Sophia Scott had a well-fit physique.
After Elizabeth finished dancing with her father Nathan Harrison, she looked around for Benjamin, and found him and Sophia Scott dancing together. She couldn't help but pouted, and her expression was full of grievances.
Damn Benjamin Lincoln! How dare you hook up with another woman after I looked away! You baddie!.
This was really an injustice to Benjamin. It was clearly Sophia Scott who came to him on his own initiative!
At this time, Gabriel Quinlan talked a lot and drank a lot of wine. When he got rid of the crowd and looked around, wanting to dance with Sophia Scott, he saw her and Benjamin were hugging each other.
In an instant, the anger in his chest burned.
He was totally a very possessive person, so how could he allow his woman to be held in the arms of others?
