Lucinda had planned to go unnoticed tonight, but she stole everyone’s attention the moment she walked in.

Dwayne chuckled when he saw the small frown on her face.

“Come on, it’s normal that you would be the centre of attention.

What did you expect considering how beautiful you are.

Your dress is just perfect for you.

You never disappoint me, Lucinda.

Trust me, I’m the happiest man here to have you on my arm.

Lucinda shot him a glare and said in a low voice, “We’ve just arrived and you’re already making fun of me? Looks like the pain you felt in the day is all gone.

Dwayne’s smile instantly fell off.

He held her arms a little tighter and said in a pained voice, “What? No! It still hurts very much! And with the action scenes I filmed this afternoon, it got even worse.

Lucinda chuckled and flicked his forehead.

Not far away, Nathaniel watched how cozy they were acting.

It made him feel sad to see her with another man this way.

He knew he had no right to be jealous, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t.

Blue veins popped out on his clenched fists that he tried to hide, but Tess who was standing next to him noticed his change in countenance.

She looked at Lucinda, and then back at him and said, “Hey, why don’t we go and say hello to Miss Ross and Mr.

Gordon?”

Nathaniel remained silent, not accepting or refusing.

So, Tess made the decision for both of them and walked ahead towards Lucinda.

Lucinda was chatting happily with Dwayne when she heard an unpleasant voice from behind.

“Miss Ross, I haven’t seen you for a long time.

You seem to be getting more beautiful.

Even your heavy makeup can’t hide your natural vixen charm.

Annoyed, Dwayne retorted before Lucinda could.

“Of course she is beautiful.

Even without makeup, her beauty makes your dolled up face pale in comparison.

And did you just say she has heavy makeup? What would you call your think-as-a-wall makeup then?”

He sighed dramatically and continued, “Anyways, I guess not everyone can have natural charm.

You for example, you have no charm at all.

“You…”

Tess was annoyed and humiliated.

Did he really think she was that ugly?

She really wanted to talk back at him.

The words were at the tip of her tongue, but she couldn’t.

Had it been Lucinda who said those words to her, she wouldn’t have hesitated.

But this was Dwayne.

Tess couldn’t afford to offend the Gorden family.

Lucinda just let them bicker without saying a word.

She didn’t have a problem until she saw Nathaniel come up behind Tess.
