Chapter 860 - 860: Young Master Zhou Enters the Ladies' Room
"About that incident at the last gathering, I only found out afterwards. Was it our Campbell Family's lack of hospitality, or are you busy this weekend? Or is there another reason?"Elder Campbell spoke with concern, but he left no room for her to refuse.
A quick check of her schedule would reveal her availability this weekend. Was it just a coincidence? Her entire weekend was free with no work arranged, and she didn't believe in coincidences.
What was the reason behind Elder Campbell's special invitation to her?
"No need to send someone to pick me up. I'll visit with Mason at that time," Aurelia Shaw said with a smile.
But Elder Campbell replied, "Mason has been busy lately, so let's not trouble him. It's just a small gathering, and having men around isn't convenient. If you don't like being picked up, you can drive yourself."
This left Aurelia with no excuse to refuse.
Moreover, Elder Campbell had already given her the assurance she wanted.
This gathering was safe, and Mason could be informed.
Aurelia nodded, "Alright, I'll drive over myself on Saturday."
...
Aurelia's phone rang nonstop. It was Viscount Zhou calling, "Hello."
"Where did you go?" Viscount Zhou's voice was slightly breathless.
Aurelia paused for a moment, "Did you come out looking for me?"
"Yes, it's been a while, and you haven't returned. I was worried about you," said Viscount Zhou.
Aurelia was eerily silent for a while, "You didn't go looking for me in the women's restroom, did you?"
"Pah! Am I that perverted? I asked a woman to check if you were in there," said Viscount Zhou, standing in the middle of the restroom, having just cleared it out.
His handsome face was red, with his tone unchanged, but his eyes nervously darted around.
Realizing he was in the women's restroom, he quickly looked down, avoiding eye contact with anything around him.
Damn it, this is a mess!
If people found out he had entered the women's restroom, his reputation in the rich heirs' circle would be utterly ruined.
Aurelia, that little troublemaker! How can she still be wandering off at her age?
"I'm in the hallway, heading back to the private room now," Aurelia said, walking lightly and explaining to Viscount Zhou, "I just ran into Elder Campbell's granddaughter and stopped to say hello."
"Elder Campbell is here too?" Viscount Zhou's voice didn't show much emotion. Now that he was handling the family business, he knew that some deals were discussed in such gatherings.
These weren't for young people to have fun but for business interactions among adults.
Elder Campbell was a veteran in the business world, and as juniors, they should go over to greet him.
"When did you start knowing members of the Campbell Family?" He knew Jennifer Campbell too, but Aurelia had been studying in M Nation for over three years and hadn't spent much time in the country, so she wasn't in contact with the Campbell Family. Even if she met Jennifer Campbell, they probably wouldn't recognize each other.
"I met them at a gathering hosted by the Campbell Family a few days ago."
Viscount Zhou thought for a moment and understood, "Mason took you there?"
"Yes," Aurelia didn't hide it.
"That damned Mason! Why would he introduce you to the Campbell Family!" Viscount Zhou cursed softly.
He had his own reasons.
He didn't want Aurelia involved with such a crowd; the Campbell Family's business was so extensive, and the means to maintain a century-long foundation could only be imagined.
If she mingled with these people, who's to say she wouldn't suffer?
Moreover, there was no guarantee that the other party wouldn't look down on them and do something.
