Chapter 111

On the day before New Year holidays, all major companies were busy with their annual corporate

parties.

The Whitney Group’s annual corporate party was always a grand affair, featuring not only high-quality

food and drinks and employee benefits and bonuses, but also countless female employees eagerly

anticipating the chance to meet the divine-like Dennis.

For them, Dennis was the most perfect man in New York.

If they could get into Dennis’ good graces, it would be much more useful than securing a 1.5 million

dollar deal.

Coincidentally, there was indeed such an activity at the annual corporate party. Every year, at the

annual corporate party, someone would have the opportunity to dance the opening dance with

Dennis.

That night, every female employee in their prime did everything they could to win Dennis’ good

graces.

When Dennis went to Whitney Group to prepare the opening speech for the annual corporate party,

Marie was nesting at Glorious Estate. Since Sasha didn’t have much work at the end of the year, she

and Iliana accompanied Marie at Glorious Estate.

Over the year, Sasha and Iliana had become her genuine best friends. The three of them would hang

out together whenever they had nothing to do. Darwin also once said that “Three women are enough

for a drama.’

Sasha poked Marie, “Mr. Whitney from your family is going to dance with another woman, you really

don’t mind?”

Marie stared intently at the television, “I don’t mind.”

Sasha shook her head, “Ah, there’s nothing we can do then. I heard that quite a few female employees

at Whitney Group joined just because of Mr. Whitney.”

Marie did not respond to her.

Iliana also said, “Yeah, who knows, maybe someone spiked Mr. Whitney’s drink with something at the

reception. When a woman goes crazy, there’s no telling what she might do.”

Marie still remained silent.

Sasha continued to stir the pot, “Does Dennis dance with female employees every year? I wonder if

he’s added them on Telegram or something.”

Marie was speechless upon hearing that.

Get Boos

Iliana said, “Not necessarily, right? I heard that Mr. Whitney usually danced with his secretary or those

who performed well at work, which could be considered an indirect reward.”

Marie looked at the two of them and said helplessly, “What exactly are you trying to say?”

Sasha pouted, “So you’re going to let Mr. Whitney dance with another woman at the annual corporate

party? I heard Nataly will be there too. What if it’s Nataly…”

Bang! Marie slammed the cup on the coffee table and said, “Is Nataly going too?”

Sasha nodded, “Yeah, that’s what Darwin said.”

Marie said with a worried and pained expression, “I’m not an employee of Whitney Group, how can I

go? Besides, what’s the use of going?”

Sasha pulled out two invitations, “We have invitations… Darwin gave them to us. Who will say no to

free things?”

Iliana also pulled her and said, “Let’s go, just to see who Mr. Whitney danced with this year, I want to

see it too!”

Marie said helplessly, “It’s not appropriate for me to show up at Whitney Group now.”

Iliana handed her the gown and mask again, saying, “At the annual corporate party, there were quite a

few people wearing masks.”

Marie could only nod in agreement, and Sasha excitedly jumped up, exclaiming, “Yes! We, the BFFs,

are going to make it into the Whitney Group!”

The three of them got dressed and tidied up. Marie and Iliana both put on delicate masks. As a special

guest performer, Sasha was given special treatment and was able to enter the annual corporate party

directly.

As Iliana mentioned, the Whitney Group’s annual corporate party was quite lively, and there were even

a few young interns wearing masks for fun. It wouldn’t be too awkward for Marie and her friends to

blend in.

At 8 pm, the annual corporate party officially began.

After the host’s opening, the chairman of Whitney Group gave a speech, followed by Lincoln’s

presentation on stage. Although he was older, his presence was still strong. However, several higher-

ups knew that Dennis was now in charge of Whitney Group, and Lincoln’s power had been essentially

hollowed out.

After Lincoln finished his speech, he said he was tired and went back early, knowing that Dennis did

not welcome him.

Then Dennis gave a speech, the young CEO of Whitney Group, who, as soon as he took the stage,

won countless applause and screams.

For the male employees, Dennis was their role model and exemplar, as he single-handedly expanded

the territory of Whitney Group time and time again, unmatched by anyone.

For the female employees, Dennis was the man of their dreams, as he was handsome, wealthy, and

charmingly noble. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Marie pouted, feeling annoyed as so many people were eyeing Dennis covetously.

After Dennis finished his speech, it was Sasha’s turn to perform. She casually sang a song just to get

by, as she was only there to have fun that day.

Then, the host went on stage and announced, “Whitney Group’s New Year’s Ball has officially begun!

First, please welcome Mr. Whitney to choose his dance partner and start the dance for us!”

Nataly stood at the bottom of the stage, excitedly watching Dennis. She had gone through great

lengths to get an invitation, spent half a day on beauty treatments and makeup, and changed into a

gown. With her cultivated ladylike demeanor since childhood, she was confident that no one in the

venue would be more dazzling than her!

In order not to be recognized by Dennis, she deliberately wore a mask. Even with the mask on,

several men had approached her earlier. Nataly firmly believed that no one could be more beautiful.

than her!

Dennis would definitely choose her! As long as she danced with Dennis, it would all be worth it!

Dennis adjusted his suit and walked down from the stage in a relaxed manner. The female employees

in the audience were so excited that they were almost fainting. Nataly, too, excitedly straightened her

dress. As Dennis walked in her direction, she knew she had made the right

decision to come today!

Dennis walked step by step towards Nataly, who was smiling. Before she could speak, Dennis had

already walked past her. Nataly stood awkwardly in her original spot, watching Dennis walk to the back

of the crowd and stop in front of a woman wearing a mask.

Dennis stood in front of Marie, extended his hand, and said in French, “May I?”

Marie was still eating finger food by the table when Dennis suddenly walked over. She was taken

aback; she was wearing a mask, how did Dennis recognize her?

Dennis’ hand was still in front of her, and people around them were casting envious or jealous glances.

Marie snapped back to reality, placed her hand in Dennis’ palm, gave an awkward smile, and followed

him onto the dance floor.

This was so awkward, right? It was like trying to catch someone cheating… but ended up getting

caught instead?

Dennis twirled her around the dance floor and whispered, “Isn’t it a bit late to feel embarrassed. now

that we’re already here?”

Marie explained that it was Sasha who brought her here.

Dennis nodded, wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth, and asked, “So, you came here to

mooch food and drinks?”

Marie’s face turned even redder. As the third daughter of the Spence family, she had gone to Whitney

Group’s annual corporate party just to snack on finger food. If word got out and Asher heard about it,

he would break her legs.

“Dennis, how did you recognize me?” Marie asked curiously.

Dennis glanced at her and asked, “Was it difficult?”

Marie asked, “I did wear a new gown and a mask. Can you give me some credit for that?”

Dennis chuckled, “Even if there were three thousand people here instead of just over three hundred, I

would still be able to recognise you immediately as soon as you appeared.”

Marie’s face turned red and she didn’t speak. The man’s pleasant voice sounded above her head,

“Marie, I can always find you.”

As long as he recognized her, no matter where she was, he could find her.

After the song ended, Dennis led Marie off the dance floor, while others searched for their own

dance partners.

At that moment, Nataly was already furious. She calmed herself down, walked up to Dennis, took off

her mask, and smiled as she said, “Dennis, could I ask you for a dance?”

Dennis’ expression cooled a bit; Nataly shouldn’t have been there. Her relentless pursuit would.

annoy Dennis.

“I have something else to do, I need to leave…” Dennis said, turning to Cullen, “Get my clothes.”

Cullen immediately went to get the coat and brought it over, shaking it out for Dennis to put on. The

dark red coát looked exceptionally handsome on Dennis.

But it was dark red, not black.

Nataly clenched her teeth, she knew that Marie had bought the dark red one, but she was sure that

Dennis wouldn’t follow her in this nonsense, as he had always liked black!

This dark red coat, along with Dennis actively inviting a dance partner, Nataly simply couldn’t believe

her own thoughts!

Nataly turned to Marie, staring at her mask, and asked coldly, “Is this Ms. Spence?”
