Chapter 43
The phone call at lunch had left my mind in turmoil, and as a result, the voiceover work in the afternoon was far from as smooth as it had been in the morning.
However, I was determined to finish work and head home soon, so I forord impelf to focus and get back into the rhythm.
Ultimately, I was delayed by half an hour before 1 could leave.
After saying goodbye to my colleagues, 1 hurriedly grabbed my bag and ran downstairs.
As soon as I reached the first floor, I saw a tall figure leaning against the reception.
Perhaps it was due to his military background, but even though he stood there relaxed, his distinguished aura drew the attention of every woman who passed by, none of whom dared to approach him
After all, his presence screamed wealth and power–definitely not someone to mess with
“Sorry, I had to work overtime. Thanks for waiting.”
Teen didn’t seem bothered at all. He flashed me a smile. “Let’s go.”
We drove straight to Harvest Pavilion on Luna Street.
The setting sun painted the sky with a brilliant red glow, casting a beautiful light through the clouds and leaving a striking silhouette on the face.
When we arrived at Harvest Pavilion, everything seemed to be going smoothly. But then it hit me–since we were attending a banquet, Iwould have to change clothes.
I was still wearing the light green dress I had bought with Dawn the day before, and as for Tom
Even though his dark gray sweatshirt was neatly fitted, it was still out of place for this event.
This was Harvest Pavilion, a place where only the most influential people gathered.
If Tom and I shoved up dressed like this, we would likely become the center of attention.
Just as I tried to figure out how to bring it up, he confidently led me into the grand entrance hall. We entered the elevator after swiping his card and unlocking the door with his fingerprint
It still hadn’t quite sunk in when we reached the floor and stood by the large floor–to–ceiling windows.
Although I knew about Tom’s wealth and status, they were only apparent to me. Seeing that his room was in such a place, 1 finally realized how incredibly privileged I was to be involved with someone like him
“Your clothes are in the bedroom. I wasn’t sure of your taste, so I had a few sets delivered. Pick whichever one you like and change”
As he spoke, becasually tugged at the collar of his sweatshirt, pulling it off with one hand and tossing it aside.
1 blinked in confusion, watching him–his broad shoulders, slim waist, and tan, muscular body. His smooth muscles ran down his abdomen, and the sound of his belt buckle clicking caught my attention.
“Grace, you don’t plan on watching me change, do you?
Timmediately blushed and quickly turned around. “I’m going to change!”
As I heard his soft laughter behind me, I rushed into the bedroom and slammed the door shut with a bang.
It was so embarrassing
Once inside, I covered my face with my hands, feeling my cheeks burn.
After what felt like an eternity, when my face finally cooled down, I noticed the dresses in the room
Tom had said a few outfits were delivered, but there were far more than just “a few! There were at least 12!
I couldn’t help but marvel at his wealth and indulgence as I sifted through the gowns.
I had only glanced at his suit earlier but knew it was dark–patterned and black.
I scanned the dresses and eventually chose a silver and white sequined gown
After changing into the dress, I took a deep breath, thinking that he must have changed by now, and opened the bedroom door.
At that moment, Tom was leaning against the floor–to–ceiling window, gazing out at the night view of Fuvine
