2088 sincerely
Beatrice was slightly nervous.
In fact, her interaction with Renly was very limited. The real face-to-face conversation only happened once at the Earl of Oxford's private party last year. They did not have mobile phone numbers or email addresses between them, and there was no way to contact them if they wanted to. Strictly speaking, they can't even be considered friends, just acquaintances..
As for Beatrice's admiration, it is not so much a woman's love and obsession with a man, but the fans' admiration and yearning for their idol. It is purely an admiration and obsession - just like thousands of women around the world. Normally; but since that meeting, this admiration has changed slightly..
Although Renly rejected her, Beatrice spent a short period of sadness and loss, and then gradually tasted Renly's gentleness and gentleman. It was also a rejection, but Renly showed his skills, The clean and tidy attitude left no room for misunderstanding, and at the same time maintained enough respect and goodwill, so that the bitter sadness gradually became sweet, and finally turned into a beautiful memory..
Beatrice wasn't sure if it was her "fan mentality" that put a filter on everything, but what she was sure of was that she still liked Renly - not love, but love. A kind of admiration and adoration that comes from fans. She always feels that Renly is a beacon in the middle of the night, able to guide her in the direction of moving forward. This is really a wonderful feeling that makes people unable to tell the difference. Joy or ferocity.
When she learned about the charity auction, Beatrice's first reaction was: she wanted to participate. Even if Alexander did not send an invitation, she wanted to participate; so, she made a special trip to ask Alexander and got an invitation After the letter, it appeared at today’s auction.
At this time, seeing Renly again after a year, Beatrice couldn't help but get excited again, like a little girl, wanting to jump up.
With just a smile, Beatrice could feel the warmth of Renly again, with a different humanity from the nobles, while maintaining the elegant demeanor of noble etiquette. Every move was so pleasing to the eye, and most importantly What's more, the sincerity revealed in those eyes is irreplaceable and cannot be faked. This makes Beatrice's mood involuntarily start to flap its wings and fly..
“Your Highness," Renly said with a warm light in his eyes, "Thank you for coming all the way to donate to the charity event. Now everyone is guessing whether I sent the post out of nowhere. , inviting you to the scene makes me happy and annoyed at the same time..”
The brisk tone was a little joking, cordial but not offensive, and there was a hint of familiarity between young people in her gestures. However, once they met, Beatrice couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes and eyebrows filled with joy. With joy and pleasure, "This is definitely a beautiful misunderstanding.”
After saying this, Beatrice felt a little annoyed: she really had no sense of humor. Renly had already set the stage, and she still couldn't show off her wit and humor. Such a well-behaved social reply was really disappointing. Speechless.
Renly seemed to catch a trace of embarrassment from Beatrice's smile. He did not expose it, but lowered his voice slightly, "In order to avoid misunderstandings, should we pretend to laugh now? Otherwise, at the dinner table tonight , the rumor about me is about to become the most delicious dessert.”
“Pfft." Beatrice laughed out loud. She tried to joke, but her mind went blank, and in the end she just smiled stupidly..
“No wonder the rumored Renly has always been the dream lover of countless women. Even I couldn’t help but be addicted after just a short greeting." A low and vicissitudes of voice came from the side, interrupting Renly and Beatrice's conversation.
The speaker was a man in his mid-thirties, with short blond hair and a slight baby bump. His high forehead drew attention to his receding hairline, but his slightly red cheekbones revealed a hint of softness. His appearance as a young man reveals a kindness that only the elderly can have, and his contradictory yet harmonious temperament makes it impossible to judge his specific age. This is also a unique.
The man did not intervene rashly, but was ignored.
In fact, before Renly came over, he was standing beside Beatrice, about one step away; but because the two people were not talking, Beatrice was talking to another person - that person Renly wisely said goodbye on his way over, so that Renly could not judge what was going on with the man who stayed next to him, so he was not able to say hello immediately, which was a bit rude..
The man's words were slightly thorny, and Beatrice couldn't hear it, but Renly caught it keenly. He stood up straight and faced the other person's gaze, and then joked to himself, "So, now my influence has Are men covered?" He interpreted the other party's words in another way, without attacking, but without showing weakness. The whole atmosphere remained tense in a relaxed manner, which had to be applauded..
Only then did Beatrice react and showed a big smile, "Sorry, it depends on my memory, Renly, this is Dave Clark; Dave, this is Renly Hall Sir." She took the initiative to introduce the two people, paused, and then explained, "Dave is my 'extras' today, and we are dating..”
I see！
This explains Dave's expression and demeanor, and things get interesting - for Renly, for he is completely relaxed and sincerely wishes Beatrice his blessing; but For Dave, it's not necessarily the case. The tense feeling of vigilance never goes away, as if he is always ready to attack..
“Welcome, maybe charity events are not the best place to make friends, but I always open up the possibility and hope to meet some like-minded friends. It seems that today's goal has been achieved." Renly still showed his expression. His own demeanor, he did not treat Dave as "Beatrice's boyfriend" - because Renly believed that Dave should have suffered similar treatment many times today, and he should not become someone's vassal, He was also a guest at the charity auction.
But not everyone buys Renly's friendliness..
“I didn’t know you were also the owner of today’s auction, I thought it was an auction organized by Alexander Hamilton.” Dave stabbed back with one sentence..
“"Welcome", this is the rhetoric that only the host can use.
Beatrice didn't think much about it, she simply thought that Dave had raised a question. She quickly explained, "Alexander and Renly are good friends. Today's mysterious guest is Renly. Alexander has been planning this for a long time." , none of us expected that Renly really showed up..”
It seems that Beatrice has been immersed in love recently, and the news updates are lagging behind. She has not been able to update the latest progress of the inside story of the Hall family, thus ignoring the true purpose of Renly's special trip to London. At the same time, this It also means that Beatrice really likes Dave.
But obviously, Beatrice's explanation has a different flavor to Dave..
Renly could sense Dave's aggression, and he couldn't help but smile, "Obviously, my words and deeds caused some unnecessary misunderstandings. In fact, it was not Alexander who invited me to attend, but I expressed my intention to attend to Alexander. Yeah, I'm also looking forward to getting something out of the auction today and doing some charity work. Dave, what do you think?？”
The subtext is: regardless of whether they are owners or not, their purpose should be charity activities, not trivial things that are sour and jealous..
Renly didn't mind giving in, and he had no interest in interfering in Beatrice's emotional life; but that didn't mean he would leave with his tail between his legs. He still expressed his position in his own way, if Dave was smart enough. , then you should be able to feel the meaning of the words.
“Of course." Dave really felt it, "Tris and I are both looking forward to gaining something today." He also called it quits just right, without continuing to entangle, and at the same time he put his arm around Beatrice's shoulders. , puffed up his chest and met Renly's gaze, declaring his sovereignty..
This... is a bit childish, but couples in love can understand it..
“Then, I will take my leave now, the auction is about to begin." Renly said politely..
Beatrice added another question, "Renly, will you stay at the reception after the auction later? I heard that you are preparing to return to the West End of London? Is this true?" In her words with a hint of excitement.
“Ha." Renly chuckled, "I can't admit anything. You know, confidentiality agreements always tie the hands and feet of our actors. However, I can be sure that after the auction is over, I will not sneak away. , see you later." From the corner of his eyes, he could see Dave's slightly stiff smile. Renly didn't stay any longer. After nodding, he turned and left..
After another social interaction, Renly returned to his seat..
Andre on the left immediately bumped into Renly with his shoulder, "No drama in the West End can be as exciting as that scene just now." This was a hint at the meeting between Renly and Beatrice. Obviously, they fell into caught the eyes of the entire "audience".
Renly said calmly, "That means the number of plays you watch is still too small, and the quality is too bad. I feel sorry for you..”
Andre couldn't help but choked, but he still asked persistently, "Don't you care? Who is that Dave Clark? I think he may be targeting you. After all, London is about you. The rumors about the princess have already spread in the streets and alleys.”
“What? "Renly was really surprised. His surprised expression made Andre laugh with satisfaction, his eyes full of pride..
