Late at night .

Pei Ge poured herself a glass of red wine . She sat on the sofa at the patio and sipped her wine quietly .
She raised her head and looked at the dark sky above . There never were stars to look at in the night sky of the capital; all one could see was a city full of neon lights .
Pak!
She placed her glass gently on the table and picked up the invitation that she had casually left on the couch .
She pursed her lips as she eyed the black and gold embossed invitation, which looked simple yet elegant .
Even though she did not want to meet those people from her past, the capital was really not that big for the rich . Besides, they were in the same field, so it was only a matter of time before they met .
At this thought, her eyes dimmed .
She rubbed her fingers against the invitation in her hand . Feeling friction between her fingers, her heart calmed down .
“Heh!”
She smiled, the curves of her lips looking rather mocking .
“What’s there to be afraid of? What of them recognizing me?”
She sneered, narrowing her eyes at the invitation between her fingers .
Raising her hand, she picked up the unfinished glass of wine . She shook it gently and finished the last bit of it .
“I’m no longer who I used to be…” she murmured softly, sounding a bit lost .

However, more in her voice was determination .
Just as her best friend said; even if her mother woke up from her coma now, she might not even recognize her, not to mention Ji Ziming and the others .
Besides, even Mu Heng failed to recognize her .
There was nothing to be troubled about, really .
Rather than speculating, she should focus on why a small real-estate company like the Minghao Group would get invited by a big company like the Ji Group .
The Ji Group did not often have business gatherings .
Even if they did, their guest list was restricted to the elites in the nation .
Even though the company she was in now was doing rather well, they still were still far from deserving an invitation .
Why exactly did they get invited…
Mu Heng did not expect the casual favor he had asked of his best friend would lead to her speculation .
Even now, he was still thanking Ji Ziming .
“Have you already had someone send an invitation to Minghao? I should be able to see my goddess tomorrow, right?”
He blinked at his best friend expectantly .
He had not seen Pei Ge since she rejected him last time .

Thus, when he found out that the Ji Group was hosting a business gathering, he made a rather selfish request to his friend .
The man looked away from the documents and glanced at his friend upon perceiving his excitement .
“Given . ”
The latter almost whooped in joy when he received the former’s confirmation .
It was the first time the man had seen him like this .
“That’s great!”
Thinking that he could see his goddess tomorrow, Mu Heng felt warm and happy inside .
Even though he knew that his goddess was married with kids, he still could not stop thinking about her .
“My friend, you’re forbidden from stealing my limelight tomorrow . ”
He threatened the other suddenly as if reminded of something .
Of course, his threat did not have any effect on the other .
“Hey, I’m being serious here . You have enough on your hands already when it comes to romance . You should just try to make yourself look as ugly as possible . ”
When his friend ignored him, he continued insisting with a smile .
“Also, tomorrow…”

Ji Ziming looked up from his work again when he judged that his friend would keep talking .
“Are you done?”
“Nope!”
The latter shrugged with a smile despite knowing that he was a little annoyed .
“Okay! I won’t talk to you further! I gotta prepare myself for tomorrow . If I do that, maybe her majesty will see me finally . ”
“Hurry up and leave, then,” he said coolly, tugging at the corner of his lips .
“Tsk . I’ll leave even without you chasing me out . ”
Mu Heng glared at his friend one last time before leaving the office excitedly .
Hearing the door close gently, Ji Ziming paused and looked up .
Because of his best friend, he was beginning to get a little curious about Minghao’s newest board member from New York’s Wall Street .
“Regina…” he uttered coldly, “has some capabilities, it seems…”
He raised a brow at this thought .
Even if his best friend did not request for him to invite that woman, he might invite her as well .
After all, capable people deserved attention; did they not?
Knock, knock, knock!
He rapped his knuckles on the surface of the study table pensively .
Still, that woman was strange .
Even though he had spent quite some time in New York’s Wall Street, he had never interacted with her, nor had he seen her before .
While he had heard about her, he had never seen her in person .
At this thought, the man frowned subconsciously .
He felt like something was off deep down, but he did not pay much attention to her, given that the name was rather unfamiliar to him .
It was just a stranger .
He scoffed lightly, not taking her existence to heart .
He only thought of that woman because he rather admired talented and capable people .
That must be it . He smiled and buried himself in work again .
Little did he expect that he would regret not meeting the woman, whom he had scoffed at, sooner when they finally met…
