Facing Edwin's confusion, she explained, "Although I don't need it this time, I think there will be a lot of similar occasions in the future, so I can make some preparations and pick a few more."
Edwin's eyes lit up. He finally found a chance to spend money on Caroline. However, Caroline continued, "Give me your account number too. I'll transfer the money to you directly after I've picked it."
The light in Edwin's eyes dimmed as he helplessly spread out his hands. "Alright," he said.
Mrs. Hall's banquet was held in the official residence's banquet hall. Caroline chose a black sequined cross-neck dress and a pair of silver high heels. She looked elegant and beautiful.
Edwin watched as she walked down from the second floor, unable to take his eyes off her. He exclaimed, "You're really beautiful tonight."
He held Caroline's hand. "If only I could be by your side tonight. How nice would that be?"
