Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126 Standing before the mirror, Catelyn adjusted her gown slightly. She lifted her chin a little and looked at the woman in the mirror who was being groomed. She had an illusion that this was not the world that she lived in.

She remembered how four years ago, she would wear pretty gowns like this to attend all sorts of functions.

Over the past four years, she had lived so pathetically that she almost could not recognize herself.

Cedrick had received the same dinner invitation, too, which was organized by the retiring Mister James. In fact, he had invited the elders of the Mason family and Clark family. However, the elders pushed the invitation to the younger generation in their family instead.

Thus, Cedrick would be entering the hall with Maia.

Maia knew that she had left a very bad impression of herself to Cedrick that day at the Mason Estate, and she intended to salvage that.

Hence, before the dinner, she deliberately put on a fair bit of makeup, and she looked captivating. She thought it was also important for her to win some points for her appearance. Maia came to the Mason Group early in the afternoon, thinking of getting to the salon together with Cedrick. This dinner was a good opportunity for her to get closer to Cedrick. Charles smiled respectfully at Maia. “Please wait a moment, Miss Clark. Cedrick is in a short meeting, and he’ll be here in a short while.” As usual, Maia went and sat on the leather sofa in the CEO office, smiling back at Charles as she said, “I’ll take a seat here. Please, carry on with your duties.” “Will it be iced lemon tea for you, as usual?” Charles held his head down, formal and full of respect.

Maia nodded, sweetly answering, “Yes, please, Mister Peterson.”

“You’re welcome.”

Maia grew bored after Charles left and decided to wander around the office.

Suddenly, she was distracted by a stack of information on the table.
