Chapter 615:

Gavin gave Freda a head-to-toe sweep, then flashed his signature charming smile. “That dress looks fantastic on you.”

Freda hadn’t expected a compliment from Gavin, especially after their last unpleasant encounter. “Thanks, yours too,” she replied politely, eager to move on.

But fate, it seemed, had a cruel sense of humor. Theo and his date were waltzing further and further away, Freda trailing behind them like a lost satellite.

The final notes of the melody faded, and Theo escorted his dance partner off the dance floor, hand in hand. Freda didn’t get a chance to squeeze through the crowd to speak with him.
