Doris Adams glanced at Lucas Quinn, and after just one look, he disdainfully turned his gaze back to Charlotte Allison, his admiration for her evident in his expression.
"Mr. Allison, is this your boyfriend? I heard he's quite good with his studies. I wonder if there's an opportunity to chat?"
Doris Adams thought he had already demeaned this young man enough; it was clear he wanted to talk to him but asked Charlotte Allison, treating Lucas Quinn as an accessory rather than an equal.
"He's busy, no time." Charlotte Allison replied coolly.
Most of the guests had already arrived, and Lucas Quinn, being the host, needed to check every detail and prepare for his formal introduction to everyone, leaving no time for trifling "conversations" here.
"Mr. Allison, it's not good for you to protect him like this. As your boyfriend, he should accompany you to social events and not always hide behind you."
