The smile on his face gradually turned deeper and wider, but he did not want his gang to see how happy he was with her request. Instead, he refused to let go of his self-restraint as he told her arrogantly, "Since you're so adamant on having me walk the red carpet with you, then I'll postpone all my appointments to make myself available for you on that day!"
