"What do you think?" Edith turned around slowly and looked at the little girl hesitantly.

Hazel climbed up the bed and watched Edith from head to toe. She asked her auntie to twirl around and finally nodded. "I knew it. Auntie Edith, this dress looked very nice on you."

"Really?" Edith tugged at her clothes, feeling a little uneasy with the dress. 

She was used to pants and a comfy shirt as her job as a kindergarten teacher would require her to be flexible. The only time she would wear a dress like this was to attend a wedding.

The last time she attended a wedding was two years ago, right?

"If you don't believe me, then we can ask my uncle," Hazel said. 

Edith looked at her reflection in the mirror in a daze. For a second, she was having a hard time believing that the person in the mirror was her. The people sent by Neil was definitely good at their job. Her makeup was light, but her lips were painted red. Her long hair was curled and swept to the left side, giving her an elegant look.

If her grandfather saw her at this time, he probably would not be able to recognize her.

Edith took a deep breath and turned to Hazel. "Then, I will get going now. If you need anything, you can call me or your uncle, alright?"

"Un. I know. Uncle had taught me how to make a phone call."

Edith heaved a sigh upon seeing the serious look on Hazel's expression. 

The little girl was so confident that she would be alright, but right now, Edith was the overly worried one.

Edith patted Hazel on her hair and smiled. "Will you be alright staying here with Assistant Shawn? What should I do? I am very reluctant to leave you."

The little girl giggled happily and hugged her auntie tightly. "Auntie Edith, you should go and accompany my uncle. I will be alright. I'm a big girl and Uncle Shawn will stay with me. "

"Alright. Don't stay up too late. If you're feeling sleepy, you should go to bed earlier. I will accompany you to bed when I come back, alright."

"Un." Hazel nodded again.

After reassuring that Hazel would be fine, Edith finally walked out. Her gaze met with Neil the moment she stepped out. Her breath hitched at the way Neil was staring at her. His gaze was burning and Edith felt her body heating up.

"Do I look okay?" Edith tightened her grip on her dress before she quickly let go. A frown appeared on her face and Edith quickly looked away shyly. "Why… are you looking at me like that?"

His throat rolled as he continued to watch her. 

Edith was clad in a floor-length sleeveless empire dress with a lace bodice. The dress was modest, but the way it was hugging her at all the right places was making him unable to stop his mind from running wild. 

He had always known that Edith had a great figure. But to look at her dressed up prettily like this made his heartbeat escalated. She was a goddess. His goddess.

Neil stepped closer and stopped in front of her. He looked at her smooth shoulders and thought that the soft gold complimented her skin well. Hazel had definitely made a great choice.

He touched her chin gently, tilting her face up, making her look at him. "You're beautiful." His gaze stopped at her lips, and he fought the urge to kiss her moist lips. At this moment, Hazel was still watching them and he did not want to ruin her lipstick.

Edith bit back a smile. She looked at the man who was dressed in his formal attire in front of her and rested a hand on his chest. "Thank you. Well, you look handsome as well."

A chuckle escaped him. Neil suddenly thought that it would not be a bad idea to skip the event and instead, took this beautiful lady in front of him on a date. 

"Didn't you say that we are meeting some important friends?" Edith asked.

It seemed that he had spoken out his thought out loud.

Assistant Shawn who was standing at the side was surprised at the way his boss was acting. This was the first time that she had seen him in a daze.

Countless women had tried to seduce him with their beauty before and Assistant Shawn was almost convinced that his boss was not interested in women when he never gave them any reaction.

It looks like President Mo could be weak against a beauty as well. Just that, it would depend on the person before he could show a reaction.

"Should we head out now?" Edith asked. "I haven't worn high heels for a long time. You have to support me so I won't fall."

Neil let her held on to his arms and the two finally left the hotel after giving a few reminders to Assistant Shawn and Hazel. Neil led her to the entrance and helped Edith into the vehicle he had rented.

Almost thirty minutes later, Neil finally pulled over the vehicle at a fancy club in the city center. He went over to the passenger's side and helped her to get off. Then, he passed the keys to the parking attendants.

He turned to look at Edith and noticed the way she was staring at the club's entrance with a slightly dazed expression. His lips tilted into a helpless smile.

How can he not know that his silly woman was worrying about what will happen as soon as they stepped into the building?

Neil patted at her hand and raised a brow when she turned to him. "Are you worried?"

Edith snapped out of her thoughts and smiled. "You are here, aren't you?"

A chuckle escaped him. "You are right. As long as I'm here, you shouldn't be worried."

Neil was about to lead her inside when his phone suddenly rang. At the thought that Hazel was calling him, Neil quickly swept his finger on the screen and pressed the phone to his ear.

"Hello?"

There was a silence on the other side.

Neil glanced at his phone and noted that it was an unfamiliar number. Just as he was about to hang up, Neil heard a strange noise. He asked Edith to wait for him and stepped aside for better reception.

"Hello?" Neil tried again.

"Neil! Neil, it was you!"

His expression grew dark upon hearing that familiar voice. 

"No! No! Don't hang up. It's me, Amanda!"

"Miss Shen, I told you that we have nothing else to talk about. I have to trouble you not to call me again."

"Neil, I really need your help. Please! I—"

Neil pressed the red button before Amanda could finish what she wanted to say. He took a few deep breaths to compose himself. The moment he raised his head and saw the beautiful woman waiting for him, his bad mood suddenly disappeared. 

He walked over to Edith and offered his arms. "Are you ready?"
