I clean down my gown. It’s one I made myself a few years in the past at residence—a easy black gown—nevertheless it works for the occasion we’re going to. Delaney’s carrying one thing related.

Delaney grips my hand. “You go in, and we’ll be proper behind you. The press will wish to discuss to Josh and I’ve bought to attempt to slide in who dressed me.”

I grin. “I’m so glad I’ve bought you right here with me.”

“You’ll be tremendous. Simply get in there and scare the shit out of Reece.”

My abdomen churns. Nothing makes me nervous. Nobody has this impact on me however him. The considered being in his arms tonight makes each nerve in my physique come alive.

She offers me a delicate shove. “Go.”

I stroll into the glittering room. It’s some business occasion with dinner and dancing that Josh booked a desk for. He’s taken care of all the main points, so Reece hasn’t been concerned with who’s representing their firm. All he’s been advised is to point out up.

As I scan the room, my nerves begin to disappear. I don’t actually perceive it, however realizing Reece is right here someplace soothes them.

I come to a halt after I lay eyes on him.

He’s so good-looking, together with his stubble and his shining blue eyes. All dressed up in a tuxedo that simply makes me wish to bounce his bones much more.

What else I see makes my blood boil.

I by no means thought I used to be the jealous sort. I skilled it after I noticed the images of Reece with Gabby. I’ve seen Reece in films, and I perceive that they’re appearing. Hell, I’ve watched Josh strip off and screw ladies on display however know the one lady he’ll ever need in actual life is Delaney.

However proper now, there’s a stunning blonde who seems to be like she simply walked out of a Vogue journal, laughing and joking intimately with my man, along with her hand on his arm like she owns him.

I slender my eyes and stalk towards them.

“Hello.”

Blondie retains speaking, however Reece’s eyes meet mine, and widen.

“Pania?” His voice isn’t rather more than a whisper, however his mouth curves into a large smile.

“What’s happening?”

He seems to be down at his arm, shakes off the blonde’s hand, and takes a step again.

She very clearly doesn’t take the trace, not stopping for a breath as she simply retains speaking.

With barely a look at me, she shoves her empty champagne glass in my course.

I shove it again. “Wait. Do you assume I work right here?”

Lastly, she turns her head and meets my gaze. “You don’t?”

I open my mouth to talk however gasp as an alternative as Reece grabs maintain of my wrist and pulls me to him.

“That is my girlfriend, Pania.”

Pressure tightens blondie’s face a lot, she received’t want a facelift any time quickly. “Oh.”

Reece offers me such an affectionate look, my abdomen flips. “My stunning, superb, very intelligent fashion-designer girlfriend, Pania.”

I chunk my backside lip, blush, after which repair my gaze again on hers. I’ve by no means backed down from something earlier than, and I’m not about to do it now. I cock an eyebrow and don’t blink.

She takes a step again, and Reece slides his arm round my waist, hugging me to him. I bear in mind Delaney being anxious about not becoming in—neither of us match the Hollywood stereotype—however as Josh loves her, Reece loves me. I do know he’ll at all times have my again.

The blonde licks her lips as if she’s attempting to work out what to say. “Oh. Good to fulfill you.”
