Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 35 Partner In Crime

Duke Alexander guided Mia through the gala's elegant ballroom. Mia nervously took in the faces of esteemed guests mingling amidst the soirée.

Alexander continued their rounds, seamlessly weaving through the crowd and introducing Mia to influential figures from various fields-business tycoons, renowned artists, and philanthropic leaders. Each introduction was accompanied by a brief exchange of pleasantries and mutual admiration for the gala's charitable cause.

""Lord Alexander!" a sweet voice called out.

Alexander and Mia turned their heads to see a beautiful woman adorned in pearls and lace, looking at Alexander with longing in her eyes.

"Countess Isabelle!" Alexander greeted graciously, taking her hand and bringing it to his lips: before he turned to Mia, who was watching Isabelle with a soft smile.

"Mia, allow me to introduce you to Countess Isabelle," Alexander said with a smile. "Isabelle, this is Mia. She's a very talented and successful interior designer and owner of M.P. Interiors."

Countess Isabelle scrutinized Mia from head to toe. "Oh, so you are Mia Peterson. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mia."

Mia offered a warm smile. "Thank you, Countess.

"Well, I heard Alexander had recommended your work to many in our clite circle," Isabelle said with smugness. "By the way, I have quite a few properties that require renovation. I can give you work."

Mia didn't miss the humiliation in Isabelle's tone, but she was accustomed to dealing with arrogant, wealthy clients.

She maintained her soft smile and calm demeanor. "It would be a pleasure, Countess. Though we take bookings and schedule according to the next available dates, I will ask my assistant to discuss with you and prioritize assigning the best designer, just because you're Lord Alexander's special guest."

Isabelle gritted her teeth. How dare this commoner try to talk back to an elite like her. She wanted to lash out in anger, but then she saw Alexander's stern expression and the challenge in his eyes. She decided it was better to hold her tongue.

She ignored Mia completely and turned to face Alexander, giving him the most seductive smile and batting her eyelashes flirtatiously.

"Alexander, won't you honor me with a dance?" Isabelle whispered in a honeyed tone.

"I beg your pardon, Countess. I have my date and dance partner for tonight." Alexander said
