The Beauty and the Brain by Natalie Jones novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111 

On the day before New Year holidays, all major companies were busy with their annual corporate 

parties. 

The Whitney Group’s annual corporate party was always a grand affair, featuring not only high-quality food and drinks and employee benefits and bonuses, but also countless female employees eagerly anticipating the chance to meet the divine-like Dennis. 

For them, Dennis was the most perfect man in New York. 

If they could get into Dennis’ good graces, it would be much more useful than securing a 1.5 million 

dollar deal. 

Coincidentally, there was indeed such an activity at the annual corporate party. Every year, at the annual corporate party, someone would have the opportunity to dance the opening dance with 

Dennis. 

That night, every female employee in their prime did everything they could to win Dennis’ good 

graces. 

When Dennis went to Whitney Group to prepare the opening speech for the annual corporate party, Marie was nesting at Glorious Estate. Since Sasha didn’t have much work at the end of the year, she and Iliana accompanied Marie at Glorious Estate. 

Over the year, Sasha and Iliana had become her genuine best friends. The three of them would hang out together whenever they had nothing to do. Darwin also once said that “Three women are enough for a drama.’ 

Sasha poked Marie, “Mr. Whitney from your family is going to dance with another woman, you really don’t mind?” 

Marie stared intently at the television, “I don’t mind.” 

Sasha shook her head, “Ah, there’s nothing we can do then. I heard that quite a few female employees at Whitney Group joined just because of Mr. Whitney.” 

Marie did not respond to her. 

Iliana also said, “Yeah, who knows, maybe someone spiked Mr. Whitney’s drink with something at the reception. When a woman goes crazy, there’s no telling what she might do.” 

Marie still remained silent. 

Sasha continued to stir the pot, “Does Dennis dance with female employees every year? I wonder if he’s added them on Telegram or something.” 

Marie was speechless upon hearing that. 

Get Boos 

Iliana said, “Not necessarily, right? I heard that Mr. Whitney usually danced with his secretary or those who performed well at work, which could be considered an indirect reward.” 

Marie looked at the two of them and said helplessly, “What exactly are you trying to say?” 

Sasha pouted, “So you’re going to let Mr. Whitney dance with another woman at the annual corporate party? I heard Nataly will be there too. What if it’s Nataly…” 

Bang! Marie slammed the cup on the coffee table and said, “Is Nataly going too?” 

Sasha nodded, “Yeah, that’s what Darwin said.” 

Marie said with a worried and pained expression, “I’m not an employee of Whitney Group, how can I go? Besides, what’s the use of going?” 

Sasha pulled out two invitations, “We have invitations… Darwin gave them to us. Who will say no to free things?” 

Iliana also pulled her and said, “Let’s go, just to see who Mr. Whitney danced with this year, I want to see it too!” 

Marie said helplessly, “It’s not appropriate for me to show up at Whitney Group now.” 

Iliana handed her the gown and mask again, saying, “At the annual corporate party, there were quite a few people wearing masks.” 

Marie could only nod in agreement, and Sasha excitedly jumped up, exclaiming, “Yes! We, the BFFs, are going to make it into the Whitney Group!” 

The three of them got dressed and tidied up. Marie and Iliana both put on delicate masks. As a special guest performer, Sasha was given special treatment and was able to enter the annual corporate party directly. 

As Iliana mentioned, the Whitney Group’s annual corporate party was quite lively, and there were even a few young interns wearing masks for fun. It wouldn’t be too awkward for Marie and her friends to blend in. 

At 8 pm, the annual corporate party officially began. 

After the host’s opening, the chairman of Whitney Group gave a speech, followed by Lincoln’s presentation on stage. Although he was older, his presence was still strong. However, several higher-ups knew that Dennis was now in charge of Whitney Group, and Lincoln’s power had been essentially hollowed out. 

After Lincoln finished his speech, he said he was tired and went back early, knowing that Dennis did 

not welcome him. 

Then Dennis gave a speech, the young CEO of Whitney Group, who, as soon as he took the stage, 

won countless applause and screams.

For the male employees, Dennis was their role model and exemplar, as he single-handedly expanded the territory of Whitney Group time and time again, unmatched by anyone. 

For the female employees, Dennis was the man of their dreams, as he was handsome, wealthy, and charmingly noble. 

Marie pouted, feeling annoyed as so many people were eyeing Dennis covetously. 

After Dennis finished his speech, it was Sasha’s turn to perform. She casually sang a song just to get 

by, as she was only there to have fun that day. 

Then, the host went on stage and announced, “Whitney Group’s New Year’s Ball has officially begun! First, please welcome Mr. Whitney to choose his dance partner and start the dance for us!” 

Nataly stood at the bottom of the stage, excitedly watching Dennis. She had gone through great 

lengths to get an invitation, spent half a day on beauty treatments and makeup, and changed into a 

gown. With her cultivated ladylike demeanor since childhood, she was confident that no one in the 

venue would be more dazzling than her! 

In order not to be recognized by Dennis, she deliberately wore a mask. Even with the mask on, 

several men had approached her earlier. Nataly firmly believed that no one could be more beautiful. 

than her! 

Dennis would definitely choose her! As long as she danced with Dennis, it would all be worth it! 

Dennis adjusted his suit and walked down from the stage in a relaxed manner. The female employees in the audience were so excited that they were almost fainting. Nataly, too, excitedly straightened her dress. As Dennis walked in her direction, she knew she had made the right 

decision to come today! 

Dennis walked step by step towards Nataly, who was smiling. Before she could speak, Dennis had 

already walked past her. Nataly stood awkwardly in her original spot, watching Dennis walk to the back of the crowd and stop in front of a woman wearing a mask. 

Dennis stood in front of Marie, extended his hand, and said in French, “May I?” 

Marie was still eating finger food by the table when Dennis suddenly walked over. She was taken aback; she was wearing a mask, how did Dennis recognize her? 

Dennis’ hand was still in front of her, and people around them were casting envious or jealous glances. Marie snapped back to reality, placed her hand in Dennis’ palm, gave an awkward smile, and followed him onto the dance floor. 

This was so awkward, right? It was like trying to catch someone cheating… but ended up getting caught instead?

Dennis twirled her around the dance floor and whispered, “Isn’t it a bit late to feel embarrassed. now that we’re already here?”
