A single ruby, the size of a pigeon’s egg, graced her slender neck, setting off her silky skin.
Opting for simplicity, Hannah wore no other ornaments, letting the lone necklace add a touch of class to her ensemble.
Her makeup was understated, complemented by a striking shade of red on her lips and soft waves in her hair. She looked as strikingly beautiful as a movie star.
Before heading out, she slipped into wafer-thin silver stilettos and grabbed her phone. Then she entered the elevator.
As she stepped out of the building, her phone buzzed. Bryson was calling.
“Mr. Mitchell? I’m just at the community gate.”
‘s
At her words, Bryson, previously Leaning against his car, immediately shifted his gaze toward the gate.
He was pleasantly surprised.
Hannah seldom dressed so strikingly, looking both captivating and mildly intoxicating.
With a slight grin, Bryson hung up and opened the car door for her.
“Miss Moore, you never fail to shine at these events.”

Once inside the car, Hannah looked over at Bryson who was getting behind the wheel.
“Well, it’s your family event tonight. The least I can do is not embarrass you.”
A soft laugh escaped Bryson’s lips as he ignited the engine.
“Having you as a guest is my honor.”
Hannah turned her gaze to the window, feeling an unexpected flush on her cheeks.
Bryson’s words are growing warmer, she thought, her fingers lightly touching her flushed cheek, her eyes clouding a bit. She shouldn’t be feeling this way.
The Mitchell family had arranged their family gathering at a suburban mansion.
As the car came to a halt within the estate, attendants rushed forward to open the doors for Bryson and Hannah.
Handing over the keys, Bryson extended his arm in a chivalrous gesture for Hannah to take.
Hannah averted her gaze, gently resting her fingers on his arm, as they gracefully entered the mansion’s grand hall.
The setting was reminiscent of a medieval castle. Alcoves in the walls housed a selection of exquisite liquors. Although the lighting wasn’t as extravagant as one would find in a hotel, it added a sense of allure to the overall atmosphere of the party.
Before the festivities officially kicked off, a crowd of well-known socialites mingled, their glasses chiming in time with the melodious notes of a violin. Soft footsteps and muted conversations added to the room’s opulent ambiance.
A tower of champagne glasses greeted guests at the entrance, rising to an impressive height of two meters. An array of scrumptious desserts and dishes adorned elongated tables, tempting those who passed by.
