Love Strategy: CEO He is Really Scheming！

Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Walking the Red Carpet!

Feeling his encouragement and comfort, Ariel Morris turned her gaze back, and the two exchanged a smile, their eyes full of tenderness and deep affection.

As they entered the banquet hall, a red carpet was laid at the entrance, with people standing all around it, most of them dressed in formal attire.

”Boss Seys, Ariel Morris, you finally arrived. We’ve been waiting to walk the red carpet with you for ages,” Nico Haynes, wearing a white tailcoat, couldn’t help but tease when he saw them.

”Nico Haynes, are you planning to turn your birthday party into an art festival? Do we really have to walk the red carpet?” Ariel Morris pointed at the red carpet on the ground and frowned.

This is too ostentatious! Standing next to the charismatic God Seys, she’d surely pale in comparison!

”Of course, Young Master Haynes’s birthday party rivals a movie festival in the entertainment industry. Look over there, the big names you know and don’t know are probably all here,” said Nico Haynes, raising his eyes proudly with a cheerful smirk.

Who would dare not to give Young Master Haynes face?

Ariel Morris looked in the direction he pointed and indeed saw a few celebrities and famous directors she knew. Luckily, she took the advice of her God Seys and didn’t dress too flamboyantly, or she would have been utterly embarrassed.

Standing among that crowd of actresses, she wouldn’t even count as a green leaf, she’d be instantly overshadowed!

”Look at you being smug. Are your little girlfriends here tonight? Won’t they cause trouble when they see Nicole walking the red carpet with you?” Ariel Morris pursed her lips playfully.

”Don’t worry, they understand the occasion. Even if they’re a thousand times unhappy, they’ll swallow it,” said Nico Haynes as he waved to Dawn Sutherland and Nicole not far away.

Dawn Sutherland was dressed in a white suit, as graceful as ever.

Beside him, Nicole wore a light purple knee-length dress, revealing enticingly fair and sensual legs, with dark silver stiletto heels on her feet. Her long hair was casually tied into a bun, adorned with a butterfly hair clip. She looked playful yet elegant.

Nicole laughed before speaking, ”Did Young Master Haynes get me this evening dress to make me look younger? With this outfit, I do feel like I’ve gotten a lot younger. Can I change into something else?”

It was quite different from her usual style.

”It’s perfect, so of course not!” Nico Haynes remarked, eyeing Nicole up and down with a smile.

”Brother Dawn, why don’t you have a date? Are you hiding someone to surprise us?” Ariel Morris asked teasingly.

Dawn Sutherland smiled but didn’t answer.

”With Second Young Master Sutherland’s charm, do you think he’d lack a date? Look around, socialites, young models, divas, movie queens, and if nothing else, there are newcomers. Stop worrying unnecessarily and hold onto Boss Seys, or you might get whisked away,” Nico Haynes chuckled.

Before Ariel Morris could speak, Arlo Seys unexpectedly said, ”Nicole, let’s go. Anyway, with so many socialites and young models, let him choose.”

”Hey, don’t, Boss Seys, I was wrong!” Nico Haynes blocked Nicole and pleaded with Arlo Seys.

He had persuaded Nicole with great difficulty to accompany him on the red carpet. If she left, where would he find someone? If he turned to his ex-girlfriends, his old man would surely skin him alive!

Seeing that almost all the attendees had arrived, the red carpet event officially began. Media reporters picked up their cameras, ready to capture the evening’s most dazzling moments.

First up was the star of the night, Nico Haynes.

He wore an outfit as princely as it was luxurious, with lips curved into a perfect smile, always seeming on the verge of a grin, though a hint of mischievous defiance glimmered in his eyes like dark pools. Beside him, Nicole, lightly holding onto his arm, her eyes deep as orchids with a subtle smile, followed his steps slowly down the red carpet.

This was Young Master Haynes’s first public appearance with a date at an event. Could she be the Queen?

The crowd speculated, and cameras, of course, wouldn’t miss capturing them.

Next came Arlo Seys and Ariel Morris, walking hand in hand.

Arlo Seys, with his chiseled, handsome features, tall and elegant, exuded a natural, noble aura, one that deterred easy approach yet irresistibly attracted. He glanced sideways, deeply focused on the person beside him.
