583: Did You Prepare a Gift?

Did You Prepare a Gift?

After Connor saw Luke approaching, his expression immediately became nervous.1

He quickly turned his head and said to Madison beside him, "Um, I'm a bit hungry. It looks like there's food over there. Why don't we go and eat something first?"

"I knew you came here to mooch off the food..."

After hearing his words, Madison couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

But she didn't say much and instead led him towards the dining car.

Luke didn't even notice that Connor had already entered. He was just chatting with some old friends of his.

After reaching the the dining car, Connor directly picked up a piece of cake and started eating.

"How is it? Is it good?"

Madison smiled at Connor and asked.

"It's pretty good..."

He absentmindedly replied, but his gaze was actually fixed on Luke's direction.

At this moment, although Luke was chatting with his friends, he was actually searching for Connor in the hall.

He had already contacted the staff at the bus station earlier, and Connor had already arrived in Borealis City, but he hadn't shown up yet.

In addition, when Luke changed clothes earlier, he forgot to take out his phone, so he was still very anxious at the moment.

He had already spread the news that Connor was coming to attend the birthday banquet, and many of the people present were not there to give face to Luke, but to Connor.

They came today just to witness the elegance of Mr. Connor from Porthampton.

But since he hadn't appeared yet, Luke was starting to get nervous.

After chatting with his friends for a while, Luke casually found an excuse to leave and went to a corner of the hall with his bodyguards.

"Did you see Mr. Connor?" he asked his bodyguard in a low voice.

"I asked the security guards at the entrance just now, they said they didn't see anyone named Mr. Connor, and I also looked around in the hall, but I didn't find Mr. Connor..." the bodyguard replied in a low voice.

"Then where could he have gone?"

Luke's eyes showed a hint of helplessness.

"Mr. Luke, if it's really not possible, why don't you call Mr. Connor now?" the bodyguard suggested softly.

"If I could make a call, why would I need you? My phone is in the changing room, so here's what you can do. Go to the changing room and get my phone, I'll call Mr. Connor!"

Luke said in a low voice.

"Okay!"

The bodyguard nodded and left immediately.

After seeing the bodyguard leave, Luke anxiously scanned the guests in the hall, his eyes filled with helplessness.

He knew that if Connor didn't come today, he would lose face completely.

But what he probably didn't know was that Connor had already been in the hall for a while.

It's just that he was worried that Luke would recognize him, so he had been avoiding him.

In addition, Luke's bodyguards were not very familiar with Connor, so they didn't notice him either.

Connor and Madison were eating pastries and chatting.

After a brief interaction, he found that her personality was actually quite good, so his impression of her improved a lot.

However, Connor felt somewhat dissatisfied that such a high-end hotel only had pastries and sweets, not even a proper dish.

He originally thought that the birthday banquet was just about eating, so he didn't eat anything before.

"Connor, try this pudding, it's delicious!"

She picked up a piece of pudding and handed it to him.

"I don't want to eat anymore, I'm already tired of it..."

Without hesitation, he waved his hand and continued, "I don't know what the Phillips family was thinking. With so many people here, they don't even have a proper dish. It's impossible to get full like this!"

"This is a birthday banquet, do you think they invited you here just to eat?" she replied helplessly to his comment.

"If I knew there was nothing to eat, I would have eaten before coming..." Connor said somewhat helplessly to Madison.

"You're really something. Have you even considered who the attendees are at this banquet? Do you think they care about what they eat here?" She was truly speechless.

"What's the point of holding a banquet if there's no food?" He casually picked up a glass of red wine and took a small sip.

"By the way, you said you came to attend the birthday banquet. Did you prepare a gift for someone?" She saw that he was empty-handed and asked with a smile.

"A gift?" Connor was taken aback by the question and his eyes flashed with embarrassment because he hadn't even thought about bringing a gift.

But he noticed that she also didn't seem to have brought anything, so he asked directly, "Did you prepare a gift?"

"I don't need to prepare a gift!" Madison replied with a smile.

"If you don't need to prepare a gift, then I won't either..." he replied without hesitation, then looked up at Madison and asked in confusion, "Wait a minute, why don't you need to prepare a gift?"

"Because..." Madison was about to speak.

But at that moment, a graceful figure approached.

Connor instinctively looked up and saw two women in evening gowns, incredibly sexy, walking towards Madison's location.

"Madison, why are you still here? The banquet is about to start, and you're still in the mood to eat. Hurry up..."

One of the seductive-looking girls called out to Madison with an anxious tone.

Upon hearing this, Madison quickly covered her friend's mouth with her hand and turned to Connor, saying, "Connor, um, I have something to do. Stay here for a while, okay?"

"Sure..." He thought that these two beauties were probably her friends, so he didn't think much of it and simply nodded.

As she saw him nod, she directly grabbed her two friends and walked away.

"Madison, who is that guy? How come I haven't seen him before?" the other friend turned back to look at Connor, her expression filled with confusion.

"He's a friend I met in Porthampton..." Madison explained lightly and continued, "Have the clothes been delivered?"
