Chapter 46 This Assistant Was Really Arrogant
To be honest, when I met his cold and deep gaze, my heart inexplicably skipped a beat, feeling a bit awkward. After all, I still vividly remember that chilly night, it was just a few days ago, of course he would
remember.
That night, my behavior was hysterical. In his memory, I even jumped into the river, couldn’t be more embarrassed. Yet now, here I was, showing off my love with Oswald, which was indeed quite a slap in the face.
Under his gaze, I involuntarily took my hand off Oswald’s arm and gave him a slight smile.
As soon as that group of people saw Zack approaching, they fawned over him, vying to make small talk, including Oswald.
I watched these people with a cold eye, they were indeed ‘sincere‘. I saw Raymon’s eyes glance at Oswald, I was certain there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.
Zack didn’t introduce Raymon to everyone either, nor did he show any intention of getting to know these people. Instead, he walked over and stood by my side, speaking in a faint voice, “Ms. Byrne! Oh, perhaps I should call you Mrs. Price!”
“Ms. Byrne‘ does sound better!” I said noncommittally, “I didn’t expect you to come today!”
“Hmm!” He took a sip of wine, glanced at me, and asked softly, “Seem to be in a good mood?”
“Life has to go on! As you said, we have to rely on ourselves!” My response was quite pleasing, “Oh, by the way, Mr. Baxter! I still don’t
know your contact information, and your coat is still with me. When can I

invite you out for a sit–down? It would be a good opportunity to return your coat!”
He lowered his gaze and took another sip of wine, without giving me his contact information. It seemed like he didn’t want to tell me, so I didn’t feel it was appropriate to keep asking.
Just as Oswald looked over, he saw me chatting with Raymon. He walked over with a smile, stretched out his long arm to put around me, and asked with a laugh, “Cass, who is this…?”
“Oh, this is Mr. Baxter from Broadray Vision!” I introduced to Oswald, then turned to Raymon, “Mr. Baxter, this is my husband, the CEO of Prosper Materials, Oswald!”
Oswald enthusiastically extended his hand, “Nice to meet you! I’m pleased to know you, Mr. Baxter!”
Raymon hooked up the corner of his mouth coolly, “Nice to meet you!”
Then he didn’t want to engage deeply with Oswald, he turned to me and said, “Excuse me!”
After speaking, he didn’t intend to greet Oswald again and left our circle, departing alone. It seemed that he was not enthusiastic about this occasion. Despite being just an assistant, he was quite aloof.
Oswald was somewhat displeased and asked me, “What does he do at Broadray Vision? Why is he so arrogant?”
“The last bidding competition, it was him who hosted it in place of Mr. Parker!” I simply said, in fact, I really don’t know what role this Raymon plays in Broadray Vision.
Oswald snorted disdainfully, muttering, “Ha! Seems pretty high and mighty, even harder to reach than Mr. Parker!”
Oswald was just that kind of person, quite concerned about his

reputation. This was all related to his childhood environment. Deep down, he had a sense of inferiority, always afraid that others would look down on him. Since he had Prosper Materials, he seemed to have found a pillar, found the capital to stand tall, and enjoyed being flattered.
I knew he had such problems, but at that time, I didn’t want to admit it. Perhaps it’s true that when you love someone, you can’t see their flaws! So, whenever such situations arose, I would hide his flaws and downplay his ugliness.
But now, faced with Oswald’s various betrayals towards me, in front of the cruel reality, I had to admit, a treacherous villain who could even deceive his own sister, could I talk about love with him?
Some were left with nothing but disgust. It seemed I had escaped from the foolish state of losing my discernment due to my love for him, and thus his flaws became clearly visible in my eyes.
I glanced at him, his eyes still fixed on the direction Raymon had left, like a snake’s. His face was twisted, full of displeasure. Surprisingly, I found myself cursing him inwardly, calling him a petty man!
As the party was drawing to a close, I ran into Raymon again. He and Mr. Parker were saying their goodbyes to those people, it seemed they were about to leave.
There were quite a few people exchanging pleasantries. Of course, Oswald couldn’t miss this opportunity. He also stepped forward to shake hands and say goodbye, making his presence felt.
Raymon, however, moved to my side and in the moment we brushed past each other, he slipped a note into my hand.
