Nichole's smile froze on her face for a moment. "Why?"
"Mr. Burke is taking his wife tonight, so Ms. Nichole, it would be inconvenient for you to attend."
Nichole forced a smile. "Oh, he's taking his wife. That's wonderful! I actually didn't want to go anyway..."
"That's good then."
As she held the disconnected phone, Nichole bit her lip.
Her roommates exchanged glances behind her.
"Nichole, did your boyfriend just stand you up?"
"I heard it was an international gala. Didn’t you say your boyfriend organized it to introduce you to some international businessmen?"
Facing the skeptical looks from her friends, Nichole managed a weak smile. "He has to accompany a very important client. I shouldn’t add to his troubles."
Nichole looked down at the gown she was holding, her expression dimming.
James had never liked Sophie, so why would he suddenly...
Nichole clutched the gown in her hands. She had been looking forward to tonight's gala for a long time. She couldn’t just give up.
As evening fell, James had his secretary deliver a sophisticated black evening gown to Sophie.
James had been waiting downstairs for a while, and when he saw Sophie descending the grand staircase, he was momentarily stunned.
Although he had seen Sophie in a burgundy gown before, this outfit still took his breath away. He hadn’t realized before just how beautiful Sophie was.
"I'm ready."
Sophie looked up, and James pursed his lips. "I'll have the secretary bring the car around."
