She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 948

Even he couldn't resist sneaking a few extra glances at Daphne in that gown, yet Everett hadn't offered a single word of praise.

The guy wasn't blind, was he?

Gavin threw his hands up in defeat.

Were those two actually dating?

But if they weren't, Everett's personality dictated that he wouldn't just casually hold a girl's hand.

In truth, Gavin was spot on—Daphne had changed into that dress specifically for Everett.

She hadn't expected him to drop by the club unannounced.

Normally, when she wasn't seeing him, Daphne happily lived in her t-shirts and jeans.

But around Everett, she desperately wanted to maintain the sophisticated, intellectual beauty she knew he liked.

That was why she had rushed off to change, deliberately parading herself in front of him.

However, all Everett did was inform her that Gavin had invited him over for drinks.

Aside from that, he didn't mention a thing.

"Gavin... oh, he's sitting over by the bar!"

Daphne pointed him in the right direction.

Spotting Gavin, Everett immediately walked off without another word.

Daphne pressed her lips together in awkward silence.

If she said she wasn't disappointed, it would be a total lie.

She had been wearing jeans just moments ago. Now, she was draped in an elegant purple gown.

Unless Everett hadn't looked at her at all, or didn't care enough to notice, there was no way he could have missed it.

Daphne took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

She told herself that Everett might just be shy, or maybe he was too dense to figure out how to compliment her on the spot.

Besides, it was only natural for a guy to prioritize his buddies. Daphne decided that if she wanted to be the perfect, understanding girlfriend, she couldn't afford to be so sensitive or selfish.

After talking herself down, her spirits lifted once more.

Across the room, Everett slid into the seat next to Gavin, who wasted no time asking the burning question.
