Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 1006

Even in the crowded room, Noreen spotted Seth instantly.

He was dressed in a meticulously tailored black bespoke suit, the sharp lines of the shoulders perfectly highlighting his tall, commanding frame.

One hand was casually tucked into his pocket, while the other lightly swirled a wine glass. The deep red liquid coated the crystal in elegant arcs, catching the light with a cold, mesmerizing gleam.

In the shifting shadows, the sharp angles of his profile looked chiseled and untouchable. His Adam's apple bobbed subtly above his collar, every movement radiating an effortless, dangerous grace.

Just by standing there, he eclipsed every other person in the opulent room.

He was aloof, entirely off-limits, yet fatally magnetic to everyone watching.

So, she couldn't really be blamed for almost losing her mind earlier, right?

The man was just too intoxicating.

Sensing her stare, Seth's eyes cut through the crowd and locked onto hers.

His gaze was so intensely heated that Noreen felt a sudden spike of guilt, quickly averting her eyes.

Just then, someone stepped into her line of sight.

It was Silas.

"Ms. Gilmore, we meet again."

Silas had been spending a lot of time in Rivercrest City lately.

Noreen greeted him politely.

"Silas."

Silas offered her a charming smile. "Would I have the honor of a dance with you?"

In a setting like this, flat-out refusing would be a major faux pas.

Noreen gracefully accepted and stepped onto the floor with him.

Silas was a perfect gentleman, immediately letting her go the second the song ended.

Noreen, however, practically bolted off the floor.
