The Billionaire's Intern (Maya Thompson) novel Chapter 173

Chapter 85: A Table for Two-1

It didn’t take much convincing before Harper was digging through Maya’s suitcase like a stylist on a mission, holding up dresses with practiced flair.

“This,” she declared, lifting a white cami midi dress with a triumphant grin, “this is the one.”

The dress was elegant in its simplicity-lightweight, romantic, and effortlessly flattering.

Maya blinked, a little stunned, warmth rushing to her cheeks.

“That’s very kind of you, James.”
