Chapter 5

Shelia's smile froze. "Why?"

"Mr. Nichols is taking his wife tonight, so it wouldn't be convenient for you to attend."

Shelia forced a smile. "Oh, so he's taking his wife. That's great. I didn't want to go anyway."

"That's good."

Shelia held her phone and bit her lip.

Her roommates exchanged glances.

"Shelia, did your boyfriend stand you up?"

"I heard this event is international. Didn't your boyfriend organize it to introduce you to some foreign entrepreneurs?"

Facing their skeptical looks, Shelia managed a weak smile. "He has an important client to accompany. I shouldn't disturb him."

Shelia glanced at the dress in her hands, her expression dimming.

'Juan never likes Debra. Why did he suddenly...'

She tightened her grip on the dress.

She had looked forward to tonight's event for so long. She couldn't just give up.

As the night fell, Juan had a splendid black dress sent to Debra.

He had been waiting downstairs for a while when he saw Debra descending the stairs.

Though he had seen Debra in a burgundy dress the other day, seeing her in this outfit still took Juan by surprise.
