Chapter 23: How Long Do You Plan to Keep Doing This?

Due to the large number of people and the fact that it was being held at a five-star hotel, everyone needed to dress formally.

Men had to wear suits, while women had to wear formal dresses. And on such an important day, Martina naturally wanted to be more attentive, as it was her very important

Martina surely had no reason to refuse these small requests and agreed to them.
