You're Out Daddy

The banquet went on as usual.

Natasha was walking when Kenneth came up from behind her and took her arm, pulling her along with him.

She frowned at his back. “What are you doing?”

He shot her a sideways glance over his shoulder. “I’m taking you upstairs to change into something else.”

Then, he hauled her up the stairs to a spacious dressing room full of evening gowns.

Natasha entered, her gaze surveying the room before she turned to look at Kenneth warily. “Was Erin dousing me with champagne part of your plan, too?”

He approached her with a smile, studying her features with an adoring expression. “You overestimate me.”

“So this…” She looked at him.

“This is a VIP dressing room prepared for the socialites in case of emergencies. Don’t worry, the outfits in here are occasionally replaced with new seasonal pieces that have never been worn. Anyone who wears it leaves with the outfit,” he explained.

Natasha arched her brow slightly. “It sure is fun being wealthy.”

“Why, are you poor?” Kenneth asked, his eyes burning into hers.

He recalled her giving him ten million without batting an eye, and he still didn’t know where she got that amount of money. However, he knew that wasn’t all she possessed. She definitely had deeper pockets.

It didn’t matter, though.

He didn’t care if she kept countless secrets like a riddle.

Natasha’s eyes lowered when she felt Kenneth’s probing gaze on her, and she spoke with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Compared to you, Mr. Hamilton, yes.”

“If you want it, everything here is now yours,” he said.

“Oh, really? What’s the catch?”

“None. As long as it’s you.” His gaze was unfathomable, and he didn’t look like he was joking.

“You won’t regret it?” she asked.
