“Let me see the invitation.”
Tina immediately handed invitation and the brochure over.
Edwin flipped through it, his focus fixated on the descriptions of the two pieces of jewelry.
He noted that one was a camellia pearl brooch, and the other a conch shell pendant, both described as exquisitely beautiful pieces.
Edwin closed the brochure and stated in a flat tone, “Inform Miss Smith that I will be there on time.”
Tina nodded.
“Alright!”
She walked out, leaning on the door with a smile.
“I knew it!”
Within the confines of his office, Edwin found himself briefly lost in thought.

In the blink of an eye, Tuesday arrived.
After finishing work, Edwin changed into a meticulously crafted three-piece suit.
Edwin appeared handsome and impeccably groomed, his complexion enhancing his overall appearance.
The young and talented Edwin had always been a magnet for attention wherever he went. Despite rumors swirling about his relationship with Miss Smith, they hadn’t officially announced their engagement, had they?

A multitude of women eagerly awaited an opportunity to capture Edwin’s attention.
Vanessa took a seat next to Edwin, dressed in a stunning and gracefully designed white gown, radiating elegance and beauty.
With a smile, Vanessa remarked, “Finding a moment to see you is quite a challenge these days.”
Edwin, casually flipping through the invitation in his hand, asked with a hint of indifference, “Vanessa, aren’t you exhausted?”
Vanessa’s smile faltered.
After a brief pause, Vanessa mustered a strained smile and replied, “I’m not sure what you’re getting at.”
Edwin chose to be straightforward.
“When you proposed a partnership, I accepted it. So, I was hoping to collaborate with an excellent business partner, not a woman who seems resentful and constantly complains. We should avoid emotional entanglements, don’t you think?”
“And what about sex? Don’t you have needs?”
