"Mr. Sawyer actually starting the conversation first? That's rare."

"Good evening, miss. Would you allow me the honor of your company?"

The young man offered a gentlemanly smile, bowing just slightly.noveldrama

It wasn't until she heard his voice that Davina looked up.

Before her stood a tall, lean man in a charcoal-gray suit, his rimless glasses

adding an aura of quiet sophistication.

He appeared to be around 25 years old.

Davina nodded politely. "Hello."

After Kennedy spoke, the other young men who had been eyeing Davina

suddenly seemed to lose their confidence and fell silent.

There was no need to wait for Davina to respond-Stella's voice broke the silence, low and sharp.

"Why are you here, Davina?"
