Some were eager to do so, while others chose to stay put. Ella inwardly took note of their decisions. She was no pushover. She would remember those who chose not to take her side. Philip stood at the door with Preston, waiting to enter. He could have entered the venue earlier, but Preston said that a person of high status did not have to enter so quickly. Although Philip wanted to keep a low profile, he did not want to disapprove of Preston’s suggestion. Indeed, a reclusive family had to display their dignity. Some people lingered at the door without entering the venue too. They glanced at the female attendants from time to time, their minds racing. They were not from wealthy families but simply tagged along with their friends. They usually would not come across such beauties in their average daily lives. As Ella walked over with her friend Tania, everyone smiled at them lecherously. “Here they come.

It’s the goddess I’ve been keeping my eye on.

She must be here for me!

” “Nonsense, she’s here for me!

” As they chattered excitedly, Ella went up to Philip. “Are you Philip Clarke?

” Ella smiled brightly, looking very gentle. “Who are you?

” Philip frowned, not knowing who she was. Philip thought about it carefully and did not recognize the two female attendants in front of him. Although he had a photographic memory far superior to that of ordinary people, Philip would not remember unimportant people or things in life. Seeing Philip’s confused expression, Ella immediately confirmed his identity.
