Semua Bab She's Out of Your League Now: Bab 551 - Bab 560

Without so much as a glance at Joanna and Logan, Winston made his way into the exhibition hall.Joanna leaped to her feet as soon as she saw that, while Logan let out a deep sigh. He then reached out to support her, but when he noticed her intention to chase after Winston, he pulled her back sharply."Joanna, you might be willing to embarrass yourself, but our family's reputation is on the line!" Logan snapped."Logan, I'm ready to give up everything for Win. If you think I'm making a fool of myself, then I'll just leave the Lowell family!"Her words had barely left her lips when a loud smack cut through the air. In an instant, the room fell into a stunned silence.Joanna turned slightly, shock flashing across her face as her eyes widened in disbelief. With one hand on her cheek, she stared at Logan. Had he really just slapped her?She couldn't believe it. Logan had always doted on her since they were kids. How could he have struck her? Her tears fell immediately, their sting a

Millie cast a cold look at Ruby. But Ruby was right. She was indeed an outsider to the industry."Aren't your designs meant to be judged by the customers? Sure, I'm an outsider, but speaking from a customer's perspective, this design seems rather dull and unremarkable." Millie spread her hands as she spoke, unbothered and unapologetic.Ruby's face fell at the remark. Was her design really that disappointing in Millie's eyes? Did it have no value whatsoever?Millie didn't mean to be entirely negative. Even though she'd criticized Ruby's design, she still found something to praise. "However, you have good attention to detail, and the diamond you chose is quite elegant."She then offered a smile. The choice of materials was refined, and the details were meticulously crafted. However, the overall design lacked impact.Ruby's lips parted slightly. For a moment, she struggled to find the right words. Meanwhile, Sean gave her a warning glance. It was as if he were daring Ruby to cont

Suddenly, Sean's voice reached Millie's ears. "Care to join me for the celebratory dinner this evening?"Millie turned to see Sean smiling at her, his eyes twinkling with enthusiasm. For a moment, she found herself mesmerized by his gaze.Each man she had met recently left a different impression on her, each with their own unique characteristics. But Sean was different. He exuded a genuine sincerity, much like someone fresh out of university, still untouched by the cynicism of the corporate world.She would want to take him at his word if he claimed he was interested in her."Why are you staring at me like that?" Sean asked as he moved closer and leaned in to meet her eyes. Millie turned her head slightly, avoiding his penetrating gaze. Sean had beautiful eyes. Yet, looking at him brought back memories of Winston from her university days.Back then, Winston was the golden boy, and he often looked at her with the same intense gaze. She had genuinely believed that those looks we

Suddenly, a staff member approached Millie and lowered her head in greeting. "Ms. Caldwell.""What's the matter?" Millie asked as she glanced up. "Mr. Stringer sent me to ensure you're well taken care of," the young woman explained with a smile, her manner warm and welcoming.Millie glanced at Sean, who was busy socializing. She felt bad that he had to keep worrying about her.She said frankly, "Don't worry about me. Go ahead and attend to your duties. If I get tired, I'll head home to rest. Please tell Mr. Stringer that I'll be at the celebratory dinner."She didn't want to add to Sean's troubles. So, she decided to leave after saying her piece.Millie figured she could find a café to relax—anything to get away from the event. She didn't want to be a distraction and make Sean shift his focus from his guests. Sean watched as Millie walked away, feeling a pang of disappointment as he listened to what the staff had said. It was clear that winning her over would be a challenge.

In the lounge next door, Becky softly informed, "Mr. Greer, I've seated Ms. Caldwell, as you instructed."Winston stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, fastening the buttons on his suit jacket sleeves. After that, he turned to Becky and said calmly, "If she comes again, make sure she has a seat."Becky nodded immediately. "Yes, Mr. Greer. And what about you, sir?" The table had originally been Winston's, but he had given it up for Millie."I have a reservation elsewhere. There's no need to let Millie know about this. Just make sure she's well taken care of," Winston replied before leaving the room.When he walked past Millie's private room, he glanced through the screen and saw her inside. At that moment, she was gleefully showing off to her friend."Rachel, you won't believe it! I was just about to leave when someone gave up their table for me! Guess who it was? You'll never figure it out."Winston's lips curled into a faint smile as he shook his head, amused by how something
