Back in Time: Unshackling From Love

Chapter 96

“Don’t worry, Jerome gave the green light for me to bring a companion,” Mikayla reassured, showing Mike the message on her phone. She had left out the part about Jerome peeking at her.

“Will this do?” she asked.

After checking the messages, Mike guided them toward the hotel entrance. He said, “Right this way, Mrs. Miller, Ms. Holmes,”

Mikayla gracefully linked arms with Betty as the two walked inside the elevator.

Upon entering the ballroom, they were enveloped in the warm glow of radiant lights. Dressed In fancy suits and gowns, the guests engaged in lively conversations, surrounded by the soft melodies in the air.

Mike excused himself to find Jerome, leaving Mikayla and Betty to make their way to the guest area.

When the other guests glimpsed Betty, a wave of hushed whispers rippled through the crowd.

“Isn’t that Mrs. Lane from Ansoft Enterprise? What’s she doing here?” someone inquired.

“That’s not Mrs. Lane anymore; she’s now Ms. Holmes after the divorce,” another commented.

“She’s likely here seeking investors. Word is, Johnny Lane took off with Ansoft’s core technologies and a good chunk of money. The company’s facing some serious financial issues now,” a man assumed.

“That makes sense. Look, she even brought along a charming young lady. She must be the PR manager for Ansoft,” a woman agreed.

Just then, the guests saw Mike come over and informed Mikayla with respect, “Mrs. Miller, Mr. Miller will be joining you soon. I will be on my way.”
