Chapter 294 It was clear that Natasha did not want Finley touching her , but he basked in the attention , beaming as he said , Madam , youve heard everyones requests .


    Since they all want to see us dance , how can you refuse ? Natasha frowned slightly .


    Finley was annoying as a persistent pest , but she worried that refusing him outright in front of everyone might cause a scene .


    Just then , a female voice cut through the tension .


    If Madam Vostokoff doesnt want to dance with Mr.


    Moore , shouldnt a true gentleman step back rather than put her in an awkward position ? Who do you think you are to meddle in my affairs ? Finley turned with displeasure .


    Aspen smiled , looking sharp in her tailored suit .


    Mr.


    Moore , you seem quite temperamental .


    Im Aspen from the Bridgefields Stevens family , Finley nodded thoughtfully and said , Ah , Ms.


    Stevens .


    Dont tell me youre also vying to be Madam Vostokoffs dance partner ? And why not ? Aspen lifted her chin proudly .


    Who says Madam Vostokoffs partner has to be male ? In my eyes , we women are every bit as capable as men .


    Finleyughed .


    I like a feisty woman .


    Anyway , if you want to dance with Madam Vostokoff , Ill graciously step aside .


    Though such a beauty shouldnt always dress like a man perhaps we could get to know each other better sometime ? Sure , Ill treat you to dinner someday , Aspen replied with a smile .


    Finley returned to Yvonnes side , wrapping an arm around her waist .


    Did you miss me ? Couldnt wait any longer ? Youre such a yer ! Yvonne pinched him hard as they began dancing .


    She purred , First , you get me hot and bothered , then you go after Madam Vostokoff .


    And now that Aspen girl .


    Have you set your sights on her too ? Finley chuckled in her ear as they danced , Shes quite famous .


    I was just doing her a favor .


    But dont worry .


    Ill have her in my bed soon enough .


    as just doing hepen is from the Bridgefields Stevens family .


    Aspens neither here nor there .


    You sure have strange tastes , Yvonnemented disapprovingly .


    Finley boasted .


    These tomboys are the hardest to get .


    But once you have them , the conquest is incredibly satisfying .


    Meanwhile , Aspen confidently approached Natasha , Madam , may I have the honor of your first dance?  Chapter 294 They say you prefer swords to dresses .


    I see its true , Natasha remarked , looking Aspen over .


    I simply want to prove that women can do anything men can , Aspen dered proudly .


    And often , we can do things even they cant .


    Natasha chuckled and replied , Well said , but Im afraid I dont dance with women .


    Aspens smile froze .


    But you even refused Finley , Is there actually a man here who catches .


    your eye ? Natashas beautiful eyes scanned the crowd before settling on Andrew .


    Of course that gentleman over there is exactly who I want as my partner .


    Besides Finley , the men here are either too old or too weak , Aspen said , following Natashas gaze .


    Wait you want Dn as your partner ? Natashaughed softly .


    Dn is too rough around the edges and quite ordinary looking .


    Im interested in the man beside him .


    Dont you think hes quite handsome and captivating ? Aspens face fell as realization dawned on her .


    Madam , surely you dont mean Andrew ?
