A lot of men tried to chat up the two of them along the way, but Roxanne fended them all off with her deliberate, icy demeanor.
Once they got past the crowd, Roxanne finally let out a sigh. “These guys act like they’ve never seen a woman before. It’s so annoying.”
Dawn shot her a surprised look, not expecting her to be so straightforward.
Roxanne seemed to notice and stuck her tongue out yfully.
“Sorry, putting on a front is exhausting. I need a break.”
Dawn grinned, thinking she was actually kind of cute.
“It’s fine. I was a little worried you’d be hard to talk to, so I got a little nervous.”
“I’m probably one or two years older than you. Technically, I guess I shouldn’t act like this, right?” Roxanne put her hands behind her back, turned sideways, and walked alongside Dawn. “Someone once told me not to be so loud and dramatic all the time … Honestly, it drove me crazy. How am I loud and dramatic?”
Dawn paused, not sure how to respond.
Thatst sentence sounds a lot like she’s pouting at someone who’s not even here.
Dawn smiled and shook her head. “I think it’s great.”
“Really?”
Roxanne leaned in, blinking. “I’m going to hold you to that. Dawn, I just got back to Crestavia and barely know anyone here. Can I ask you out sometime?”
Being open had its perks–especially if you had a bit of status, which made it hard for people
to say no.
Just like it was hard for Dawn to decline Roxanne right now.
She hesitated. “About Mr. Voss and Mr. Fenwick just now … ‘
“Oh, them? They’re just my dad’s old acquaintances. I don’t really know them in private.”
Since Roxanne had made things clear, it would be rude for Dawn to refuse.

Dawn nodded. “Sure, if we both have time.”

Roxanne was delighted. She immediately linked arms with Dawn. “Then I don’t need to keep searching. For my Crestavia partnership, I’ll choose yourpany. Of course… we still have to do everything by the book. Tell me about your designs. That way, I’ll get to know you better,
too.”
Something shed through Dawn’s mind, but before she could catch it, Roxanne was already asking questions, so she snapped back to attention and started exining.
Throughout the event, Roxanne asked all kinds of questions.
Most of her questions were about the inspiration behind the designs, but she would also casually ask about Dawn’s private life.
That included whether Dawn was dating, married, or why she’d moved to Northville.
When Roxanne found out Dawn was already married, she was genuinely shocked.
“Oh wow, you’re still so young!”
Dawn smiled. “I guess it’s just fate.”
“You and your husband must really love each other,” Roxanne said with a sigh, her bright eyes fixed on Dawn. “If possible, I’d love to meet your husband someday. I’m so curious.”
Maybe it was because she’d spent so much time abroad, but Roxanne would sometimes slip in a few words of Antean during conversation. Honestly, Dawn found it kind of cute.
Dawn didn’t agree right away. “Maybe next time. He’s busy with worktely, and he might have
to travel soon.”
“Oh… I see.”
Roxanne looked a little disappointed, but didn’t push it.
She bounced back quickly, though. When it was time to leave, she warmly invited Dawn to visit her home.
Dawn replied diplomatically, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Ansel and Cassian came out just in time to see this.
“Ms. Porter,” Ansel said, giving her a thumbs up, “you’re really impressive.”

There was no context, so Dawn smiled and asked, “Why do you say that, Mr. Voss?”

“You might not know, but the Wests are a pretty major family in all of Meriax. They keep a low profile, but their status is clear. Ms. West is also famous for being hard to please. It’s rare for anyone to win her over so quickly. I think you deserve some praise.”
He nced at Cassian as he finished.
They may have had ulterior motives toward this beautiful designer before, but now, that was all gone.
Her abilities aside, just her connection with the Wests was enough to keep them cautious.
Dawn wasn’t surprised. She kept her cool. “Ms. West is easy to get along with. You’re giving me too much credit, Mr. Voss.”
She wrapped up her work and headed home.
During dinner, she mentioned the incident offhandedly to Ethan.
“I’ve noticed something. Every woman whoes into my life ends up curious about you.” Her tone had a slightly sour edge as she bit her fork and looked at the man beside her. “Is there some kind of magic you have? Why does everyone want to meet you?”
“Do I even need magic?” <fnc385> This update is avable on find?novel</fnc385>
Dawn was speechless.
In other words, even without trying, he’d still be the one to catch everyone’s eye.
She red at him, not saying anything.
Ethan reached out to pat her head, as if he were soothing a small, angry animal.
“It doesn’t matter. There’s only one person in the world whose attention I care about, Ms. Porter. You don’t have to feel threatened.”

Dawn puffed out her cheeks and kept eating.
Then she paused and looked up. “Oh, right, she’s from Meriax too. Maybe you two even went to the same college or something?”
