Chapter 43- Identity
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone was stunned.
At these kinds of gatherings, Samuel always held himself aloof. When had they ever seen him this enthusiastic?
And the way he spoke to her…
What was the background of this twenty-something young woman?
Isla clenched her fists, feeling a burning sensation on her face…
Jake frowned, his gaze shifting between Samuel and Keira. “You two know each other p>
Samuel looked at Keira and hesitated to speak.
He didn’t know if his boss wanted to reveal her identity.
Sure enough, the next second, Keira raised the champagne in her hand to
Samuel with a warning look in her eyes. “Mr. Morgan, hello. I’m too young to
bear this formality p>
Samuel took the hint and cleared his throat. “Miss Olsen, I didn’t expect to meet you here, so I was overly excited.
At his words, everyone looked at Keira’s stunning face and seemed to
understand something. They all broke into laughter.
Mr. King walked over and teased, “Mr. Morgan, truly, you have good taste!
She’s indeed a rare beauty p>
Samuel quickly returned, “Miss Olsen is not only beautiful but also incredibly capable p>
Mr. King was taken aback.
Jalen had just praised Keira as well…
He finally took her seriously. “Miss Olsen, this is my business card. I hope we
have the opportunity to work together in the future p>
After Mr. King, the rest of the crowd quickly chimed in.
-To be praised by Mr. Morgan, Miss Olsen must be extraordinary p>
“Such accomplishment at a young age…
Keira wasn’t fond of these gatherings and just responded with a faint smile.
Jalen, on the other hand, was chatting and mingling with them.
As Jake watched Keira shine like a newly risen star, he felt a discomfort in his chest. He scoffed. “No matter how capable she is, can she be more capable than
Dr. South p>
At his words, the crowd fell silent.
Samuel raised an eyebrow and revealed a meaningful smile but said nothing.
Keira was calmly holding her champagne glass, with no intention of responding.
in the end, it was Mr. King who broke the awkward situation. “The highest level in the industry, of course, would be Dr. South! But Miss Olsen is so young with such a promising future! I heard from Mr. Riley that you’re also working for the Horton Group? Young Mr. Horton, your company attracts such talent all t e time p>
Keira couldn’t help but approve of his words. With this triple compliment no one was offended, and Jake was flattered as well. He didn’t say anything else. The lively atmosphere returned, and everyone continued their laughter and conversation.
Samuel didn’t dare to bring the topic back to Keira again, and the crowd’s attention was quickly back on him, asking him about Dr. South’s whereabouts.
Keira took this opportunity to slip out of the crowd.
The lobby was brightly lit. Everyone dressed smartly and was toasting and exchanging drinks.
Although the place was full of people, Keira didn’t enjoy the liveliness. On the contrary, she found it more comfortable when she was in the hospital with the old lady and Lewis in one room while each was minding their own business.
She walked onto the balcony, took out her phone, and found a message from Lewis. “I just happen to be at the Royal Hotel for a meeting. We can go back together when it’s over p>
Keira smiled and suddenly felt like leaving.
It was entirely acceptable to leave such an occasion early.
Jalen followed her out. “No wonder you said you’d introduce me to Samuel
Morgan. You two know each other so well p>
Keira didn’t deny it and gave him a light smile.
jalen recalled what happened at the banquet just now. Although Samuel was talking to others, his gaze always seemed to drift toward her… Samuel must be interested in Keira!
They were all grown-ups. Samuel was handsome and capable; he would be a good choice.
So he asked, “What do you think of Samuel p>
Keira considered the question and answered, “He’s dependable, hard-working, and trustworthy p>
He was a very useful subordinate! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have entrusted him with full control of the company.
jalen’s eyes lit up. “So, you’re saying you’re also attracted to him p>
If Keira could really be with Samue, he would surely introduce her to Dr. South.
Keira was dumbfounded.
Only then did she understand what Jalen meant, and she was about to laugh and reply when a cough suddenly came from nearby!
The two of them turned their heads and saw Lewis standing on the balcony of the next banquet hall.
He was half a head taller than Jalen. At this moment, his expression was dark, and his black eyes were cold as they watched them.
Lewis didn’t expect to bump into them by such a coincidence either.
As he walked by, he happened to hear their conversation. The few praises Keira had for Samuel Morgan made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
He harshly reprimanded Jalen, “Miss Olsen is already married. What are you messing around here for? It’s absurd!
Jalen felt somewhat aggrieved.
He didn’t know that Keira was married. Why was his cousin suddenly angry at him? But…
He quickly looked at Keira. “You’re married? Does Samuel know p>
He didn’t want Samuel to be turned down and became resentful. Samuel might target Keira…
Keira nodded. “Yes p>
jalen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked curiously, “You’re so young. Why did you get married so early? Who’s your spouse? You’re so dedicated p>
Keira glanced at Lewis without saying anything.
Lewis simply said, “You talk too much p>
Jalen was speechless.
He had a feeling his cousin was acting strange today!
Lewis narrowed his eyes, turned to Keira, and asked, “I’m ready to leave. Are you coming with me p>
Keira immediately nodded. “Sure, I’ll meet you at the entrance.” jalen hastily followed her. “Wait for me. I’m coming with you!” Back in the banquet hall.
Seeing Jake’s gloomy face, Isla felt uneasy.
Did Keira know Dr. South as well as Samuel?
just as she was thinking about this, Jake had already walked up to Samuel. “Mr. Morgan, does Keira know Dr. South as well?
The people around immediately gazed at him.
Samuel could imagine that if he said “yes”, these people would probably rush toward Keira and force her to reveal her relationship with Dr. South…
He cleared his throat. “How could that be possible p>
Isla and Jake both breathed a sigh of relief.
Samuel noticed Keira walking toward the exit and quickly said, “I have some errands to run. I should leave now. We’ll talk later p>
Everyone smiled meaningfully when they saw him chase after Keira.
Jake’s face darkened even more.
Samuel caught up with Keira at the entrance. “I need to go abroad to discuss a project tomorrow. I’ll be taking the company seal and patent descriptions. I just wanted to let you know p>
Keira nodded.
Only then did Samuel leave.
After he left, Keira suddenly noticed the strange look in Jalen’s eyes.
He stared at her. “Something’s not right. If Mr. Morgan is going abroad, why is he reporting to you? Could it be p>
He gave her a dumbfounded look.
Keira hesitated for a moment then sighed. “Okay, I admit it. I am Dr. South p>
