She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 344

They stood just a step apart.

When Preston’s gaze fell upon Melanie’s face, his cold eyes instantly warmed.

“That dress looks incredible on you.”

A faint smile touched Preston’s lips.

Melanie smiled back.

“That’s because the person who sent it has excellent taste!”

After she complimented him, she saw the curve of his handsome brow deepen into a wider smile.

Her entire outfit for the evening, from the battle-ready gown to the jewelry, had been a gift from Preston.

This celebration was, for her, a critical battle.

Melanie had been agonizing over what to wear.

Red? White? Gold?

Before she could decide, Preston had made the choice for her.

He had sent her a gift box the other night, and inside was the very dress she was wearing now.

A vibrant yellow mermaid gown—unique, radiant, and undeniably sophisticated.

Even the jewelry was a set of gold and diamonds.

Wearing the complete ensemble, she felt as if she were truly about to ascend a throne.

And Melanie loved it.

She never thought Preston would understand her needs so perfectly.

It was as if he knew exactly what she planned to do at The Hale Health Center’s IPO celebration.

“Yes, he does have good taste.”

Preston nodded at Melanie, a knowing look in his eyes.

Melanie realized that by “good taste,” Preston wasn’t just referring to his choice of dress.

He was also talking about his choice in people.

Realizing Preston was indirectly complimenting her, Melanie couldn't help but chuckle.

The two of them stood there in the middle of the hall, face to face. He was handsome, she was beautiful, and an unspoken understanding passed between them.

Everyone’s attention was drawn to them.

While Melanie and Preston were lost in their own world, Dominic and Bryant were staring daggers at Preston.

Dominic didn’t understand. How could Preston be here?

Preston was just a low-level employee from a Stellaris PharmaTech branch office. Even if he had some connections, he had no business being at the IPO celebration for their Hale Health Center.
