Chapter 319:
She now was more curious about whether Ryan was a fan of Sloane. And was Maisie on edge because she saw how beautiful Sloane was?
Deciding it was best to stop talking, the girl quickly made an excuse and departed.
Meanwhile, dressed in a simple yet elegant dress, Jenessa arrived with Richard.
Her plan was to slip into the venue unnoticed, merely observing the event from the sidelines.
However, to her surprise, the sponsor of Fashion Week approached her warmly.
“Sloane, it’s such a pleasure to finally meet you in person! Welcome to the celebration banquet p>
Jenessa responded with a polite smile, “Thank you for inviting me p>
Soon after, a group of brand representatives gathered around her, eager to discuss potential collaborations with her.
“I’m sorry, but I must decline your proposals on behalf of Sloane. She has already agreed to a collaboration with our magazine, Fashion Days,” Richard interjected gracefully.
The crowd expressed their disappointment but quickly shifted to a lighter topic.

He fixed his intense gaze on Jenessa and deliberately asked, “Sloane, would you have time to grab a drink with me now p>
Caught off guard, Jenessa reflected on his unexpected proposal.
She had explicitly warned him to keep his distance!
Standing next to her, Richard noticed that Ryan still had feelings for Jenessa.
After a moment’s consideration, Richard encircled Jenessa’s waist protectively and declared with a hint of defiance, “Mr. Haynes, I’m afraid Sloane is unavailable. She’s accompanying me this evening p>
Upon seeing Richard’s assertive move, Ryan’s expression turned sour.
Through gritted teeth, he snapped, “She may be your date, but must you cling so tightly p>
His eyes narrowed into a threatening glare directed at Richard’s hand on Jenessa.
