Chapter 9 Not so Good
On the day of Jennifer’s exhibition, Suny spent more than an hour putting on a delicate make-up, her long, fluffy hair was turned into a fishtail braid and hung behind her, with only a few loose strands of hair coming down from the bun on either side of her forehead. She wore an apricot coloured silk blouse with a green skirt, which had a French elegance and was also lazy and sexy.
When Kevin saw Suny, he couldn’t help but whistle, “Suny, when are you planning to find a boyfriend? Can you give me a sign first so I can get in line first.”
Suny felt amused, “Stop that.”
“I’m serious.”
He took off his sunglasses and looked down at her, very seriously indeed.
Suny was stunned for a moment, she did not have the idea of starting a relationship for the time being, let alone the idea of dating with her company’s actor.
She didn’t answer him and got straight into the Maserati.
Kevin didn’t mind either, the embarrassment he felt just now swept away: “Don’t worry, Suny, Alicia has told me, I’ll definitely get you shine today!”
Suny sighed in relief and looked at him with a smile, “Then I’ll rely on you.”
“No problem!”
The blue Maserati went off, pulling up to the floor of Jennifer’s gallery, attracting many people to look over.
Suny unbuckled her seatbelt, stepped out of the car on her high heels and walked to Kevin’s side, taking his hand and entering the venue.
The security guard at the door stopped them, “Sir and Miss, please show me your invitation.”
Suny took out the invitation inside her bag and handed it over to him, and the security confirmed it was correct before letting them in.
Apart from Jennifer’s paintings, there were also many paintings by famous artists that have been borrowed for the exhibition, so this exhibition was not accessible to everyone.
Although the Dawson family was not as good as the Johnson family, it was a wealthy family that was well known in J City.
Jennifer’s gallery covered nearly five hundred square meters, the annual rent was nearly three million, not to mention the decoration, the lamp on the ceiling was a design from an Italian artist and it cost more than one million.
Many of the showcases in the venue were moved to leave a large area free for incoming guests to view.
Jennifer’s paintings were quite interesting, although Suny could not understand.
Her painting exhibition was naturally supported by a number of media.
Kevin was dressed simply today, with a shirt on top and casual almond-coloured straight trousers underneath, and a pair of sunglasses on his face, so it was surprising that the media reporters didn’t recognise him.
When she went up to the second floor, Suny saw Jennifer from afar. She was wearing a long French-style flowery dress today, her long hair draped behind her, looking very gentle and lovely.
Austin had not yet arrived, and Jennifer had already looked downstairs several times.
Suny and Kevin went deeper into the second floor and found that there was actually an open-air balcony on the second floor.
There were three parasols on that balcony, all with chairs and stools underneath, a painted wall on the side and an extra corner inside the wall actually had drinks and desserts served for free.
Now that people were out there.
Suny glanced at Kevin: “Sit for a while?”
“Yes!”
The art thing was too highbrow for Suny to really appreciate.
While the people inside were talking about Van Gogh and Da Vinci, Suny and Kevin were chatting about the recent gossip in the entertainment industry.
Suny was not as interested in showbiz gossip as Alicia, but it was okay to hear it every now and then.
With juice and cake at the table and a handsome man at her heels to feed her eyes, Suny thought she could sit here all afternoon.
But she came today to give Tina a hard time.
Suny put the juice down and glanced at Kevin: “The main character should be almost there, let’s go in too.”
She smiled and got up with her bag.
Before the two of them could enter, Tina’s astonished voice came first, “Why are you here?!”
When she saw Suny, Tina had an indefinable feeling of superiority, but seeing Suny’s excessively good-looking face, her heart rose easily with displeasure.
So every time she saw Suny, Tina couldn’t help but mock at her, and now was no exception: “Do you know what kind of place this is? Is this a place where you can come, Suny? You know that my brother is coming over today, so you came here on purpose to wait for my brother and beg him to remarry you, don’t you?”
The more Tina said, the more she felt she had a point: “I’m telling you, Suny, don’t even think about it! Even if you want to remarry my brother, you should beg me first, maybe I will help you to intercede, although my brother will still not agree in the end, but at least he can listen to you for a few words!”
“How’s that, my offer is good, right? There are fewer people here, so you’ll-”
Tina had just caught a glimpse of Suny and only thought of questioning her, so as soon as she opened her mouth until now, she realised that there was a man standing beside Suny.
And this man looked somewhat familiar. When she confirmed that the man was Kevin, the expression on Tina’s face went stiff.
“How did you get together with Kevin?”
Suny did not respond to her words and inclined her head to look at Kevin.
Kevin took off his sunglasses, “I accompanied Suny over here.”
“Ah – you, how could you! What!”
Tina looked at Kevin and almost cried.
And Suny never said a word, looking at Tina as if she were a clown.
Later, Suny opened her mouth, “Let’s go.”
Tina was simply going crazy, she originally thought that those photos from the other day were taken by misplaced paparazzi, she kept reassuring herself that Kevin had nothing to do with Suny at all and would not have any semblance of a relationship.
But today, she saw with her own eyes her idol standing with this woman.
How could she be worthy!
“You can’t leave!”
Yet no one paid any attention to her, Suny had re-entered the gallery, Kevin following her, his thin lips slightly curled under his sunglasses as they looked down and wondered what they were saying with a happy face.
Tina’s eyes were red with anger and she reacted by rushing in after the two.
Just a few steps away, Suny and Kevin met up with Jennifer and Austin, with a large group of media reporters behind them carrying cameras.
The atmosphere was stiff for a moment, and it was Jennifer who broke the stalemate: “Miss Holland, it’s been a long time.”
Suny nodded: “I was bored and came over to have a look, the painting exhibition is good.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Jennifer let out a soft cry, seemingly surprised, “I didn’t expect that you would like my paintings, it’s an honour for me.”
This was a really bitchy words, Suny just praised the painting exhibition, and then she uttered that Suny liked her painting, many people thought she was laughing at Suny for not understanding.
Suny raised an eyebrow, “I don’t know much about this art appreciation thing, but it seems that Kevin studied this before he started his career.”
She said, paused for a moment and looked at Kevin: “How do you think of Miss Dawson’s painting?”
“Not so good.”
Suny gave a glance at him, “If you talk like that, Miss Dawson is going to throw us out.”
Jennifer did not look good, but when she heard Suny’s words, she could only force a smile, “Mr. Murray’s comment is indeed spot on, I am indeed inferior compared to Mr. Murray.”
Kevin was not even modest: “Well, so the last collaboration you offered, I had my agent turn it down, I hope you don’t mind.”
“No, I don’t mind.”
Suny watched Jennifer grit her teeth and knew to stop when appropriate, she looked back at Kevin: “Well, if I had known you don’t like it, I wouldn’t have come, let’s go, don’t delay Miss Dawson.”
“Okay.”
The two turned around and left, and from start to finish, Suny did not even look at the man beside Jennifer.
On the contrary, Austin, whose dark and sullen eyes had been on Suny, felt that Kevin’ words unpleasant to hear.
What kind of relationship did they have?
