Kathleen frowned. “If it was not for the Hoover family's matter, I'd have helped you to settle your problem at Blissful Sect.”
“The Hoover family's matter has to be dealt with first. Otherwise, Desi will be in danger. We can look into my matter after that,” Charles comforted.
“Okay.” Kathleen nodded. “Charles, don't worry. I'll get it over with as soon as possible.”
“No rush.” Charles glanced at her with his smiling eyes. “We should go now.” Noticing he changed the topic of the conversation, Kathleen gazed at him in worry.
Actually, she was also rather anxious as she wanted to help Charles with his matter.
However, it was true that some things could not be rushed.
“Yeah." Kathleen nodded gently again. “Let's go.”
After that, Charles brought Kathleen out of the building of Brilliance Corporation.
“Charles, where are we going?”
Kathleen inquired curiously.
“You need to get changed first.” Charles sized her up. “It's not suitable for you to attend the dance party in this outfit.”
Looking down at her white shirt and jeans, Kathleen thought otherwise. “I think it's fine.”
“Just listen to me.” Charles flashed a faint smile.
Kathleen could only nod in agreement.
Soon, they arrived at a shop that sold haute couture clothing.
Charles had one of his hands in his pocket as he ordered, “Please bring the dress that I reserved.”
The shop assistant immediately brought a black gown over.
It was well-tailored, and the overall design was not too eye-catching.
After Kathleen put it on, her slender neck and delicate-looking collarbone were exposed. It looked fantastic on her.
While Kathleen was attractive, she did not look seductive. Instead, she looked particularly elegant instead of sultry no matter what she wore.
Charles turned toward her and said, “Let's go.”
“Okay.” Kathleen nodded.
After they left the boutique, they headed straight toward the venue of the dance party.
It had been a long time since Kathleen attended this kind of event, but she was still familiar with it.
When they arrived, the crowd who attended the party was shocked by her beauty.
People who had attended Frances' funeral knew that Kathleen had come back, but there were some who didn't know about her return. Some even thought that she had died.
However, upon seeing that she was here at the dance party, they could not help bu stare at her in disbelief.
“The CEO of Divine Corporation is over there.” Charles led Kathleen to the other side.
The CEO of Divine Corporation was Ryder Xenakis, a handsome man who was about thirty-five years old.
Currently, he was clad in gray suit, giving off an elegant and noble aura.
“Hello, Mr. Xenakis.” Charles reached out to shake his hand.
Ryder narrowed his eyes. “Hi, Mr.
Johnson.”
After greeting Charles, Ryder's gaze landed on Kathleen.
Ryder had long heard of her, and he had also seen her in movies.
However, that was the first time he met her in person.
She's indeed a glamorous beauty, bright and eye-catching.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Xenakis.’
Kathleen reached out to shake hands with him.
Ryder smiled politely. “How should I address you?”
“Anyway you like” she replied.
“I'll call you by your name then.” Ryder was a direct person.
“Sure.” Kathleen nodded, sizing Ryder up while thinking.
Charles said this guy has an illness. I wonder what it is.
Just then, the music started playing.
Ryder extended his hand to invite Kathleen. “Kathleen, shall we have a dance?”
Kathleen was caught off guard for a moment. “Dance?”
“Dancing together helps to bring us closer to one another.” Ryder held her hand, bringing her to the dance floor.
Everyone had a surprised look on their faces.
No one expected the two of them would have any interaction.
Meanwhile, Charles smiled meaningfully.
Since Ryder had her hand, Kathleen could only follow him to the dance floor and dance with him as the music played.
