Chapter 294 It was clear that Natasha did not want Finley touching her, but he basked in the attention, beaming as he said, Madam, youve heard everyones requests


    Since they all want to see us dance, how can you refuse? Natasha frowned slightly.


    Finley was annoying as a persistent pest, but she worried that refusing him outright in front of everyone might cause a scene


    Just then, a female voice cut through the tension.


    If Madam Vostokoff doesnt want to dance with Mr.


    Moore, shouldnt a true gentleman step back rather than put her in an awkward position? Who do you think you are to meddle in my affairs? Finley turned with displeasure.


    Aspen smiled, looking sharp in her tailored suit.


    Mr.


    Moore, you seem quite temperamental


    Im Aspen from the Bridgefields Stevens family, Finley nodded thoughtfully and said, Ah, Ms. Stevens.


    Dont tell me youre also vying to be Madam Vostokoffs dance partner? And why not? Aspen lifted her chin proudly.


    Who says Madam Vostokoffs partner has to be male? In my eyes, we women are every bit as capable


    as men.


    Finleyughed.


    I like a feisty woman


    Anyway, if you want to dance with Madam Vostokoff, III graciously step aside.


    Though such a beauty shouldnt always dress like a man perhaps we could get to know each other better sometime? Sure, III treat you to dinner someday, Aspen replied with a smile.


    Finley returned to Yvonnes side, wrapping an arm around her waist.


    Did you miss me? Couldnt wait any longer? Youre such a yer! Yvonne pinched him hard as they began dancing


    She purred, First, you get me hot and bothered, then you go after Madam Vostokoff.


    And now that Aspen girl.


    Have you set your sights on her too? Finley chuckled in her ear as they danced, Shes quite famous.


    I was just doing her a favor.


    But dont worry


    Ill have her in my bed soon enough


    as just doing hepen is from the Bridgefields Stevens family.


    Aspens neither here nor there.


    You sure have strange tastes, Yvonnemented disapprovingly. Finley boasted.


    These tomboys are the hardest to get.


    But once you have them, the conquest is incredibly satisfying.


    Meanwhile, Aspen confidently approached Natasha, Madam, may I have the honor of your first dance?


    Chapter 294 They say you prefer swords to dresses.


    I see its true, Natasha remarked, looking Aspen over.


    I simply want to prove that women can do anything men can, Aspen dered proudly.


    And often, we can do things even they cant.


    Natasha chuckled and replied, Well said, but Im afraid I dont dance with women.


    Aspens smile froze


    But you even refused Finley, Is there actually a man here who catches.


    your eye? Natashas beautiful eyes scanned the crowd before settling on Andrew.


    Of course that gentleman over there is exactly who I want as my partner


    Besides Finley, the men here are either too old or too weak, Aspen said, following Natashas gaze.


    Wait you want Dn as your partner ? Natashaughed softly.


    Dn is too rough around the edges and quite ordinary looking.


    Im interested in the man beside him.


    Dont you think hes quite handsome and captivating? Aspens face fell as realization dawned on her. Madam, surely you dont mean Andrew ?
