"Are you sure this will make it better?" asked Yvonne curiously.
Henry nodded his head.
Seeing that he was so confident, Yvonne could only follow as he opened up the boxes one by one. She then wore the accessories and shoes in front of him.
When she was done, she took a deep breath and looked at Henry. Just as she was about to ask him how she looked, he squinted his eyes and grabbed her wrist to pull her into his arms.
Yvonne was startled and reacted to what happened after a while. She then pushed him away and asked," What's with you?"
Henry did not reply-he only lowered his head onto her neck.
His action surprised Yvonne so much that she froze. Her arms were on him to avoid him from hugging her any tighter and suffocating her.
"What’s wrong with you Henry? Why are you quiet?" asked Yvonne again.
Henry nibbled on her neck and said, "I'm alright, just attracted to you."
What?
Yvonne was so stunned she started to feel faint and couldn't even react to her neck being nibbled by him." Attracted to me?"
"That’s right." Henry raised his head and pushed the hair on her face behind her ear. "I just realized how beautiful you are."
Ba-dump. Ba-dump.
Yvonne pressed on her chest. Her heart was beating s o fast it might jump out.
H-how... was he seducing her?
"What’s wrong?" whispered Henry as he looked at the stunned Yvonne.
A light flashed through Yvonne’s eyes as she contained her excitement. "N-nothing."
"Really? But I do have a problem!" Henry raised her chin.
Yvonne swallowed her saliva and said, "W-what is it?”
“I want you!" said Henry directly.
Yvonne's eyes opened wide. "Y-you..."
"What about me?” Henry curved his lips upwards.
"This is an office!"
"I know, but no one is allowed to disturb me without m y consent.”
Henry immediately carried her and pushed her to the bed, then he laid on top of her...
Three days later, at the gala.
Yvonne was neatly dressed and held onto Henry’s arm as she got out of the car.
She stood at the entrance to the hotel and looked up to see the hotel's signboard. Her heart suddenly sank.
Henry turned his head and looked at her. "What's wrong? Why are you not moving?"
"Henry, I feel nervous all of a sudden," said Yvonne as she held onto her chest.
Henry chuckled, "There's no need to be nervous - all you have to do is smile.”
"But I don't just feel nervous, I feel uneasy as well." Yvonne frowned.
Henry's smile waned. "Uneasy?"
Yvonne nodded.
Henry patted her head and said, "You're thinking too much. It'll be fine. Let's go."
"You're probably right." Yvonne forced a smile and went into the ballroom with him.
This was her first time attending such a grand event, and it was also her first time going out with Henry as well. Yvonne felt both nervous and excited at the same time.
To her, this was not just any event. It was an event that she was publicly attending together with Henry a s husband and wife.
