Chapter 123


    Mnie got ready, but she did not receive any calls from Frank. Mnie thought something was off


    about this, so she went straight to Frank’s room to look for him. After ringing the doorbell for a long


    time, no one answered the door. Instead, she alerted a hotel server. “Can I help you, miss?”


    “I''m looking for Mr. Moreau. He is not answering. I’m worried that something might have happened to


    him.” She said anxiously.


    “Oh, Mr. Moreau left about half an hour ago.” The server replied with a smile.


    “He left?! No, that’s impossible!” Mnie could not believe what she had heard. “We agreed to go


    together, but he hasn''t called me yet. How could he…”


    Suddenly, something came to her mind, and her heart began to race. ‘Was it because I rejected Frank?


    No, that can’t be. Didn’t he say he wouldn’t force it if I didn’t want to? He couldn’t have stood me up


    because I rejected him!’


    Of course, the organizingmittee had invited Mnie to the event, but nothing couldpare to her


    showing up with Frank. With that thought in mind, she hurriedly called Frank. However, he did not


    answer the call. Mnie finally epted that Frank had stood her up as she stood at the room door. It


    was Frank’s way of telling her that she would get nothing if she rejected him.


    Mnie gritted her teeth and noted that time was running out, so she could only call a cab to get to the


    venue.

    “Don’t tell me you’re going to the event dressed like that.” Jenny seemed dissatisfied as she looked at


    the modestly dressed Lily.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    “Is there a problem?” Lily looked down at her dress. Even though her style was a little more


    straightforward, that was the current trend, was it not?


    “Yes, that’s a big problem!” Jenny said as she shook her head disapprovingly, "We are representing the


    “What should I do then? Shall I change?” Lily did not bring many clothes. Thinking that the weather was


    not very cold and the event was only one day, she only brought light and casual clothing.


    “I’ve seen the clothes you brought. Those won’t do! Well, you better wear mine.” Jenny said while she


    turned to get her clothes.


    “Y-Yours?”


    “Why not? Your clothes size should be simr to mine. Although my clothes are not new, I haven’t worn


    them often. That’s not a problem for you, right?” Jenny found a ck off-shoulder long dress in her


    suitcase.


    The dress was a bit long, but fortunately, Lily was tall enough to pull it off. Furthermore, the contrast


    between the ck dress and her fair skin produced a strong visual impact. She looked dazzling in it.


    “This… I-Is this appropriate?”


    Ever since Lily got together with Nathaniel, she had not participated in such events in a long time, let


    alone dressing up like this. During that time, she was content with being ordinary and stable. She only


    wanted the simplest happiness. However, that proved to beplicated.


    “What''s inappropriate?” Jenny looked delighted as she twirled Lily around. “This dress suits you more.


    You can have it!”


    “N-No, I shouldn’t.”
