AKESHA accepted Bien's invitation to the charity ball despite her hesitation. Hyrum advised her to do so since he was busy overseeing some secret operation in preparation for the seven families' monthly meeting. Not that she was complaining about this sudden invitation but being with Bien spells trouble.
As much as possible, she wanted to work alone. But the chopper was already waiting for her, and Akesha found herself at Cheng's mansion. Bien had already prepared her dress, even the smallest accessories. All she had to do was wear them.
Akesha saw him waiting in the living room. There was admiration in his eyes as he scrutinized the young doctor wearing a black ball gown accented with gold. The dress suited her.
"Perfect! You are alluring as always, Akie. Shall we?" Bien lay his hand, and Akesha held it gently.
"Thanks," her lips twitched up and formed a warm smile.
