What surprised her was Rosie, who usually seemed so gentle and elegant, was transformed into a dazzling beauty in her gown, impossible to ignore
Their male companions were like protectors, always closely following them Whenever someone’s gaze landed on Hannah and Rosie Steven and Lucas’s eyes became stern, as if ready to attack
Steven saw Cornelia and Marcus first. He walked over with Hannah and his drink, “Marc, I thought you weren’t interested in attending tonight What changed your mind?”
Marcus took a drink from a waiter, swirled it casually, “Just felt like it.”
Steven glanced at Cornelia, “Marc, we’re all dressed formally Why is Cornelia in work clothes? If you cant afford a dress, let me know I can buy one for her”
