Emma Johnson felt a little embarrassed; the smile on her face froze for a moment, she soon composed herself and greeted everyone with a smile. Just then, Emma noticed a strong gaze.

Ethan's eyes flashed with surprise. Aside from some familiar features, Emma was completely different now. The woman who was once gentle and virtuous with a plain face had transformed into a hot designer, bright and attractive, unable to hide the radiance emanating fro Ethan walked towards Emma, as his goal tonight was to sign the returning gold medal designer, Alin.
Emma watched as he stepped closer. Ethan's innate authority caused her to back away until her legs hit the table. She stopped, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.
Ethan soon stood in front of her, looking down at her. Emma's fists clenched, and a formulaic smile rose to her face. "It's been a long time, Mr. Carter."

Her family's Emma was so excellent; how blind must the man who abandoned her have be "Blind" Ethan was also concerned about Emma at the moment. Watching her talk freely with the crowd, he suddenly felt a sense of not recognizing her. Was the gentle and patient Emma, or the beautiful and poised Alin, the real her?
After drinking an unknown number of glasses of wine, Emma-felt a little dizzy. She found an opportunity to slip away from the crowd and went to the bathroom. The corridor was dark, and she didn't notice, directly running into someone coming around the corner. "Sorry, sorry!"
Emma scrambled to apologize, keeping her head down. Then she reacted, slowly lifting her head, just in time to see Ethan watching her with a downcast
