969 Chapter 969
The media was in a frenzy as to what they should report about. The event had not even started and only the minor guests had arrived when, but social media was abuzz with news about a group of guests.
"Well, I guess some people managed to snap a photo of your sneaky act." Camilla tossed her phone to Guan Ming as she showed him the article asking if they were in a relationship.
"I want to stake a claim on my woman as soon as possible. It's not my fault you look that delicious." Guan Ming commented as he eyed Camilla from head to toe.
"Behave!" Camilla playfully swated Guan Ming's arm as she scolded him. "We're in a car, we are heading to a charity event and all you can think of is sex!"
"I wasn't thinking of sex, my love." Guan Ming said in a low voice as he pulled Camilla towards him and placed her on his lap. "I was thinking of slowly peeling off that dress, to show the most delicious view in the world."
Camilla rolled her eyes as she gave Guan Ming a kiss on the lips.
Their car pulled to a stop as the line to walk the red carpet had formed due to their group arriving all together.
"Sir." Guan Ming's driver called out as he cleared his throat.
"What is it?" Guan Ming was clearly annoyed at the man for interrupting his moment with Camilla.
"Be nice!" Camilla scolded Guan Ming as she slid off of his lap and checked her makeup in the mirror. She may be coming to this event as Guan Ming's girlfriend, but she was still a respected woman in the tech industry as well as a well known Vice President of the Reyes Group.
"Sorry, sir, but look who just walked on the red carpet." The driver said as he pointed towards the direction of the entrance.
From where their car was currently lined up, they could clearly see whoever was walking from start to finish.
"Impossible, I sent him packing!" Guan Ming hissed as he clenched his hands.
Seeing Guan Ming's reaction, Camilla couldn't help but steal a glance at what had infuriated him so much.
To her surprise, there stood Wu Jun as the a Chinese woman hung on his arms and the cameras flashed in front of him.
"What is she doing here with Wu Jun?" Guan Ming asked his driver who was also his assistant for the night.
"I'll have it looked at, sir." The driver said as he typed away on his phone, sending instructions to the rest of Guan Ming's people in the country.
As much as Guan Ming wanted to get out of the car and march over to demand an explanation and to send Wu Jun and his companion packing, he couldn't do it so easily.
He was in the country as a guest of the Reyes and Sebastian Families. He couldn't shame them so blatantly, nor could he make it seem like Wu Jun's presence bothered him that much.
He knew the game Wu Jun was playing, he just couldn't figure out why Wu Jun was doing this.
"Who is with him? That woman, she's really pretty." Camilla asked as she closely observed Wu Jun's companion. Something about the woman agitated Guan Ming and she wanted to know why.
"Her name is Han Ai." Guan Ming hissed. "Remember when my dad said he was glad that he didn't force me to marry that General's daughter?"
"Han Ai? That's her?" Camilla asked as she watched the way the woman carried herself.
The couple was soon out of view as their line of cars moved closer to the entrance.
"Camilla, they will say things, they will try to hurt you. They will want to drive a wedge between us." Guan Ming began to panic as he realized the set of problems that came with Han Ai's presence at the event.
"Ming, I think you are forgetting who I am." Camilla said with a laugh as she noticed some of their friends stepping out of their cars and walking down the red carpet.
"I'm sorry, I just can't let you have any misunderstanding, I can't lose you." Guan Ming told her as he reached out and touched her cheek.
"Ming, I'm not some socialite that hangs on her boyfriend's every word. You forget that I'm the Vice President of Mor Co. It'll take a lot more than a forced relationship to shake me." Camilla said as she tried to ease Guan Ming's worry.
Slowly their car finally made it to the entrance, Guan Ming quickly stepped out of his car. He didn't even wait for his driver or any of the bodyguards to open the door, he wanted to be the one to open the door for Camilla and help her out.
He was dead set on making sure that the whole world knew how much he worshiped the woman.
As Camilla stepped out, cameras began to flash. Camilla hooked her arm on Guan Ming's as they walked down the red carpet, stopping in front of several photographers and reporters in order to answer their questions.
"Mr. Guan, how long have you been dating Miss Montero?" Several reporters asked.
It was rare for a new couple to announce their relationship so soon. Yet here were Guan Ming and Camilla, two notable individuals in the business world making an appearance as a couple.
"I've loved this woman for over a decade." Guan Ming declared, making Camilla blush.
The reporters were shocked by Guan Ming's answer. Just a few months ago Camilla was still in a relationship with Lucius Ting, how could she have chosen that man over someone like Guan Ming. A person that could rival or even beat her boss, Cedric Reyes.
"We met a long time ago, as a matter of fact around the same time he and Mr. Reyes became friends." Camilla calmly responded. "We had been separated for years, but we have found each other again."
Many of the female reporters smiled and clapped at her answer, some wishing that a man would show as much devotion to them by waiting for years.
"But was Mr. Guan not engaged to Miss Han Ai?" A reporter suddenly asked, making Guan Ming turn pale.
