Seeing that Becky was dead serious, Jessie dropped the subject.
Devin wasn’t a good match for Becky anyway.
But Devin refused to give up. He did quite the opposite and went all out in his pursuit of Becky. He sent her flowers every day and always talked about Becky on Facebook. This bit of juice gossip spread in their circles, but the other person involved was very calm.
At the dinner party that Thursday, Becky looked stunning in her sexy chic black dress. As a result, all eyes were on her as soon as she stepped foot in the party.
Jessie had come with Becky to join in on the fun. When she saw Devin making his way towards them, she tugged at Becky’s arm and hissed, “Becky, look.”
Looking in the direction Jessie was pointing, Becky frowned when she saw Devin approach.
“Miss Ramos.”
Before they could do anything, Devin stopped right in front of Becky.
He was wearing a deep red suit today which perfectly complimented his warm skin tone.
Becky forced a faint smile. “Mr. Stanley.”
“Did you receive the flowers I sent you?”
Taking a sip of wine, Devin looked her gorgeous figure up and down.
“Yes, they were pretty.”
“Then why didn’t you go on a date with me?”
Becky paused slightly. When did he ever ask her out on a date?
Then she realized that she had never bothered to check if there was a card that came with the bouquet. She raised her eyebrows slightly, but her expression remained calm. “I’m sorry, Mr. Stanley. I’ve been busy recently.”
Devin didn’t let her go so easily. “Then if it’s not too much for me to ask, may I have this dance?”
As he spoke, he offered her his arm and gestured at the dance floor.
Jessie stood aside to watch the fun. Everyone in Courtbush already knew that Devin was chasing after Becky.
And now, Devin was asking her to dance. Although the guests were pretending to mind their own business, all eyes were secretly on them.
“I don’t dance, Mr. Stanley.”
