Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 979

Claire originally wanted to ask Wilbur if he was going to the auction so they could go together.

But then she felt it was too presumptuous, as if she were deliberately asking him out on a date.

So she let it go.

Her life was currently a mess, and she didn't want to drag anyone else into it.

The next day, Claire headed straight from her work venue to the auction. To her surprise, the first person she saw walking in was Felix.

He was standing at the most conspicuous spot near the entrance, clearly waiting for someone.

Claire didn't need to guess. He was obviously waiting for his childhood sweetheart.

Her gaze swept right past him, walking straight inside without a sideways glance.

But she had barely taken two steps before Felix spotted her.

Being a former model, Claire was tall and instantly stood out in a crowd.

Seeing Claire show up as expected, Felix let out a secret sigh of relief.

His heart had been in his throat since last night.

He had been worried she wouldn't accept his apology gift.

Worried she wouldn't come.

Last night, he originally planned to wait until she returned to the hotel to hand her the invitation personally.

But Secretary Lynwood called, saying Mr. Naylor was constantly asking for him at the dinner.

They had deep business ties, and leaving him hanging wasn't appropriate. So, he gave the invitation to the hotel manager with strict instructions to hand it to Claire, then rushed to his dinner.

He had thought about calling her.

But his number was still blocked. Unable to reach her, he had no choice but to wait for her at the venue.

Thank goodness she came.

A rare smile broke across Felix's face as he walked briskly toward her.

The moment he moved, Claire noticed.

Seeing him head her way, seemingly looking right at her, she felt a flicker of confusion.
