Who says a woman must have a male companion to stand with her at a business banquet? I certainly
don’t!”
Her declaration was Laced with confidence and defiance. On hearing her words, both men stood
flabbergasted, admiration gleaming in their eyes.
Having had enough of the squabble, Loraine chose not to engage any further. She turned and made
her way to the center of the party to mingle with the guests.
With her glass raised, she moved confidently through the crowd. Her calm demeanor and assertive
presence were enough to outshine those around her.
Despite her clear statement of not wanting a male companion, both Marco and Cayson were not ready

Loraine, almost as if they were engaging in a silent competition.
The spectacle of the two most eligible men at the party vying for
Loraine’s attention was intriguing to behold. One was suave and gentle, the other stern and
domineering. Loraine became the envy of all women present. The other men, fully aware they could not

However, the one in the spotlight, Loraine, was anything but pleased.
When the two men beside her quarreled, they resembled nothing more than feuding schoolboys.
Cayson scoffed, “Marco, let me remind you, Lorrie and I grew up together. We’re practically family, and
now we’re both presidents of
Universe Group. It’s only natural for me to accompany Loraine. You have no say here.”
Marco shot back, “You’re merely an acting CEO. This party is jointly hosted by Bryant Group and
Universe Group. If anyone should leave, it’s you. I’m the one who should be with Loraine!”

Listening to their bickering, Loraine found herself speechless.
Given the importance of the occasion, she knew she had to be polite and couldn’t afford to act rashly.
The last thing she wanted was to give the crowd a reason to mock them. Otherwise, she would have
already thrown Marco and Cayson out.

Recognizing Loraine’s familiar face, she gasped.
