Devin was an interesting person. He stopped chasing after Becky when she said that she didn’t want to be in a romantic relationship, and he had the news about them on the Internet deleted.
But Devin didn’t forget the bet between him and Becky on the racecourse that day. He even called to remind her the day before the event.
Of course Becky wouldn’t go back on her word. And since she lost the bet, she would definitely see it through.
After hanging up, Becky called Talia and asked her to prepare a dress for her.
When Becky put down the phone, she heard a knock at the door.
“Come in.”
The door swung open and Talia came in with a package. “Miss Ramos, this is for you.”
“For me?”
Becky didn’t recall buying anything.
“Yes, it’s from Mr. Stanley.”
Becky clicked her tongue and frowned. “Please open it for me.”
“Okay, Miss Ramos.”
Inside the box laid a delicate haute couture dress.
There was a card nestled inside, handwritten by Devin himself. It read, “Thank you for accepting the invitation.”
Becky smiled and put the card aside. “I guess there’s no need for you to prepare a dress, Talia.”
How considerate of Devin!
On the day of the party, Devin arrived the Fairway Group building at six o’clock and waited for Becky patiently.
Becky hadn’t gotten dressed yet. Devin was already in a white suit, standing by the Cayenne with one hand in his pocket, the other holding a mobile phone. Hearing the sound of someone approaching, he looked up and smiled at Becky. “Would you like to have dinner with me?”
Even though Becky had seen many excellent and handsome men in her life, she had to admit that Devin was really blessed in the good-looks department. When he smiled, he could easily attract people’s attention like moths to a flame.
Becky smiled and replied, “I’d love to.”
