The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 328 He Really Is My Assistant

Daniel was shocked. "Did you just slap my face?"

"Well, isn’t your face just there for me to slap? If I feel like doing it, I will!" retorted Jessica, giving him another light tap on the cheek.

"What? Did you want to say something? I’ve got a meeting to attend. Get back and change into something nice. Don’t embarrass me tonight!"

With her instructions clear, Jessica walked away, her high heels echoing on the floor, hips swaying confidently.

That evening, at Provence Restaurant, one of New York's most upscale eateries, Avery's favorite place, Avery had made a reservation next to the window - it was the best seat in the house with a stunning panoramic view of the city’s twinkling lights.

Avery arrived early, dressed in a regal purple gown that draped elegantly around her, waiting patiently at the table.

The meeting time was set for seven o'clock. However, it wasn’t until 7:15 that Jessica arrived. Daniel, that idiot, had made her late.
