Chapter 8 Kiss Me
Probably because of William, the waiter was polite to her and answered her questions, “There are two Mr. Howard here today, but only Jasper is qualified to play chess and chat with Mr. Bates.”
“Can I go in and greet Mr. Bates and Mr. Howard?”
The waiter immediately denied, “No! Mr. Bates has a special order that no one is allowed to enter Penlay Pavilion except Mr. Howard and the waiter. If you want to say hello, you can wait for the banquet to start. Mr. Bates will come out with his little great-grandson to meet the guests.”
“Okay. Please take me to the main hall first.” The banquet started at seven o’clock and the chaos occurred at eight o’clock. There was still an hour left. She wanted to go in now because she wanted to see Jasper earlier. Only when she saw Jasper, she would feel relieved.
The waiter took her to the main hall.
The main hall was the most luxury place of Star Mansion.
Guests could have fun in leisure areas, but they must return to the main hall during the banquet time until the banquet was over.
The scale of the main hall was as big as a dozen of Cloud Pavilion. It was built with three floors inside and three floors outside. Besides, one floor was more magnificent than the other floor.
The steps leading to the hall were white marble. The floor tiles in the hall were dazzling gold, and the crystal lamps were so luxurious and bright. Under the light, people came and went, in suits and leather shoes. They were talking and drinking.
Helena looked around and couldn’t tell whether it was reality or a dream. The scenery in front of her was highly consistent with the scene in her dream.

She held the escalator and went upstairs alone.
The people who passed by her were sometimes clear and sometimes vague. Sometimes they looked so real, but sometimes they looked like the ones in her dreams.
At the end of the aisle, she couldn’t help but stopped and looked to the left. In her dream, someone was whispering by the wall on the left. But there was no one there at the moment. It was empty and quiet.
Her left arm was suddenly grabbed by someone.
A huge force dragged her forward.
Before she could struggle, she was dragged into the empty room opposite. This room never appeared in her dream. Her vague dreams disappeared, leaving only the reality. She frantically struggled. At the same time, she looked up, then she was stunned.
“Jasper?”
Wasn’t he at Penlay Pavilion?
How did he get here so suddenly?
Helena couldn’t believe her eyes. Then she reached out to pinch his face.
Soft!
Warm!
It was not a dream. It was not because she was drunken and saw wrong. He was indeed real. “Why are you here? Don’t you have to accompany Mr. Bates?”
Jasper was careless. He forgot to dodge her, so she had the chance to pinch his face.
He patted off her hand, took out two pills and handed them to her, “Take it.”
Helena was stunned, “You came here to give me the pills?”
Jasper was expressionless, “Shouldn’t you ask what pills are these?”
Helena smiled, “Is it important? What matters is your motive! Why did you give me the pills? How did you know I was here? Jasper, do you fall in love with me? You want to marry me, right? If you say yes now, I will promise to marry you right away.”
Jasper felt so speechless. He was wrong! He shouldn’t be here!
A woman could finish drinking one liter of liquor and could safely walk here. What could happen to her?
He was worried that something would happen to her, so he specially came to give her the pills, specially arranged for the doctor to be on call, and lied to Mr. Bates that he had a stomachache… He was so stupid that he would make such a ridiculous decision.
He put away the pills and turned to leave, “Excuse me!”
Helena stopped in front of him again in a flash, smiling sweetly, “Since you’re here, kiss me!”
