Chapter 644: Chapter 636: Little Girlfriend

As promised, Archie Lockwood had Tiana brought over promptly at seven in the evening.

Tiana Grayson had a gentle and sweet kind of beauty. Paired with her natural poise, a single glance was enough to tell she was the daughter of a prestigious family.

Tonight, she wore a rhinestone-studded, pink, floor-length gown and three-inch heels. Her golden, waist-length hair was done in a waterfall braid.

The banquet was full of beautiful women, but someone as refreshingly elegant and gently captivating as Tiana was a rarity.

Therefore, from the moment Tiana arrived, she instantly became the highlight of the banquet. With Archie Lockwood as her date, everyone found their eyes fixed on Tiana Grayson, unable to look away.

Had it been one of the women who usually appeared by Archie Lockwood’s side, everyone would have immediately assumed she was Mr. Lockwood’s mistress. But with Tiana tonight, only a single thought came to mind: ’A talented man and a beautiful woman—a match made in heaven!’

Tiana spent the whole evening trailing after Archie Lockwood and eating. Since she didn’t know a single person, she figured she would die of boredom otherwise.

She was already starting to regret it. ’If I’d known it would be like this, I never would have come.’

It was almost ten o’clock, and the crowd of guests was only growing larger. But now Archie Lockwood was nowhere to be seen. Tiana’s face fell; she desperately wanted to leave.

’But if I just leave, it would be rude not to tell Archie Lockwood first. After all, I am his date tonight.’

With that thought, Tiana grabbed her handbag, stood up, and found a server. She asked anxiously, "Excuse me, have you seen where Mr. Lockwood went?"

"Oh, Mr. Lockwood is over there." The server nodded, pointing to a private room.

"Okay, thank you."

Tiana walked to the private room the server had pointed out. When she pushed the door open and stepped inside, she saw Archie Lockwood chatting over tea with several unfamiliar men.

In an instant, all eyes were on her. One man’s gaze shifted knowingly between her face and Archie Lockwood’s. Blushing, Tiana was too embarrassed to meet Archie’s eyes. She said softly, "Um, it’s getting late. I’d like to head back now."

Hearing this, Archie Lockwood glanced down at his watch, his brow furrowing slightly with displeasure. He looked back up at Tiana, his gaze cool, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there something you need to get back for?"

"Er... no..." Tiana hadn’t expected him to ask that. She shook her head in response.

"If not, then wait another half hour. I’ll have someone send you home then."

"Oh, all right."

Seeing that Tiana didn’t seem very pleased, Archie Lockwood frowned in thought for a moment. "If you’re bored," he said, "I can have Howard Rhodes arrange a private room for you. You can go watch TV or just rest."

"There’s no need to trouble yourself. It’s only half an hour. I can wait," Tiana Grayson said, quickly declining his offer.

"Mm." Archie Lockwood’s expression remained unchanged as he gave a cool grunt of acknowledgment.

At that, Tiana Grayson had no choice but to leave the private room, closing the door behind her.

Inside the private room, the other men looked at Archie Lockwood’s stony face and began to tease him one after another.

"President Lockwood, look at how you scared that poor girl. You can’t be like that."

"That’s right. If I had a girlfriend as beautiful as her, I’d never leave her side."

"President Lockwood, you’ve been single for so many years. The poor girl looks so pitiful, in my opinion. We guys should all get together to meet her sometime. For tonight, though, you should go out and keep her company. Don’t break her heart."
