Chapter 175
What exactly was the relationship between these two?
After the brief speech, it was now time for dance.
Rowan had the honor of opening the dance floor since he was the most distinguished guest.
As soon as he descended the stage, several beautiful women flocked around him.
They all wanted to dance with this dashing high-ranking government official.
To their disappointment, Rowan turned them down politely.
“I’m sorry, ladies. I already have a dance partner.”
Rowan walked up to Loraine and bowed. He stretched out one of his hands and asked with a smile, “Hey, charming Lady. Can I have this dance?”
Marina, who watched Loraine become the focus of attention for the umpteenth time tonight, turned green with envy. She thumped her foot on the floor and grumbled.
“Not again! How come Loraine always gets the attention of the most handsome men? What did they all see in her? After all, she’s just a plain Jane!”
Marina wasn’t the only one who shared this sentiment. The other female guests, who got turned down, were also annoyed with Loraine.
When they mistook Hubert for the mysterious high-ranking official, they only had contempt for Loraine. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Hubert was an unattractive guy, so they didn’t want him.
On the other hand, Rowan was so dashing. He had great power coupled with his good looks. His physical appearance had swept the female guests off their feet. They wanted him so bad. And this was why they got extremely jealous after he chose Loraine over them.
In their eyes, Loraine had nothing on them. They were gorgeous ladies who came from prestigious families.
It was a slap in the face that Rowan didn’t spare them a second glance.
He looked over them only to pick a woman from the countryside as his dance partner. How ridiculous!
ALL eyes were on Loraine at this time. The guests were waiting to see how she would respond to Rowan’s request.
As her date for the party, Cayson took a step back, making room for the two of them to have this moment.
Marco’s heart tightened at the sight of this.
Loraine was on the verge of agreeing to the dance since Cayson acquiesced.
An indescribable force suddenly pushed Marco forward.
“What kind of boss are you, Cayson? Didn’t you say that it was your duty to protect your employees at all times? Why are you going back on your words now?”
