A sense of unspoken satisfaction washed over him. Hannah, it appeared, still had lingering feelings for him, despite her outward indifference!
Standing at the base of the stage, Eliana touched her lips with her hand, visibly moved, and tears began to fall.
Mia Jewelry’s chairwoman smiled beside Declan.
“Our pieces truly shine best when illuminated by genuine love. Let’s eagerly anticipate tomorrow’s auction!”
The banquet hall’s lights brightened once more.
Taking the initiative, Mia Jewelry’s chairwoman approached Bryson.
“Mr. Mitchell, we have some business details to sort out. Shall we?”
Bryson glanced at Hannah.
The chairwoman’s smile deepened as she turned to Hannah.
“Miss Moore, may I borrow Mr. Mitchell for a bit?”
A wave of pink colored Hannah’s cheeks. Feeling a little awkward being the center of attention, she responded, “Of course, go ahead.

“Hannah, hang on a moment. Brayden wants to introduce me to a potential partner. I’ll return shortly,” Lydia said.
Understanding the importance of mingling, Hannah nodded in approval.
“Sure, go ahead. I’ll keep myself occupied with some food over there.”

Hannah glanced at Eliana critically.
“I’m no deity. What good would my well-wishes do you?”
