The Contract Said No Strings Attached (Charlotte) novel Chapter 503

Back at her desk, Rebecca, ever the prepared secretary, had already arranged for a dress. She knew that as Dylan's date, her attire had to be tasteful and elegant without being too flashy.

In the end, she chose a simple yet chic black dress.

At seven o'clock that evening, Rebecca and Dylan arrived punctually at the banquet.

As Rebecca entered the hall, she saw a familiar figure and froze.

Alan Brown? What was he doing here?

Alan spotted her at the same moment. It was hard not to—she was stunning, a standout in any crowd, instantly drawing one's eye.

The moment he saw Rebecca, a brilliant smile lit up his face, his eyes sparkling.

He wanted to go over to her, but he was quickly surrounded by a group of people.

Alan had no choice but to entertain the people around him first.

Rebecca turned to Dylan, her eyes filled with confusion. 'Who's hosting this banquet tonight?'

Dylan met her puzzled gaze. 'Didn't you look at the invitation yourself?'

Of course she hadn't. She was just delivering it for Director Porter and had assumed it was from a business partner without paying it any mind.

Dylan glanced in Alan's direction, having noticed the smile Alan had given her.

He said flatly, 'Alan is hosting. He's planning to expand his business to Wye, and tonight's event is for networking.'

Rebecca frowned.

Alan was expanding to Wye?

Would Sean and Gina Brown approve?

Alan's parents were very controlling. They had his entire future mapped out, always wanting him to have a stable career within the family business, not strike out on his own in Wye.
