Chapter 124
There was a look of conviction in his eyes that showed he wasn’t going to back down no matter what the outcome eventually was.
I sent him a slow nod of my head, “Fine then, I accept your offer.”
His shoulders sagged in relief at my words. “Well then.”
He got out of the car and made his way to my side. Holding out a hand to me, he gently led me out of the
car,
“Are you ready, my lady?” He asked.
“Lead the way.” I smiled.
With that, we made our way into the building. The whole place was live with the glitz and glamour that spoke volumes of an extravagant party that was being held.
It was pretty obvious that only the crème of the crop was present here. I doubted any other class of people would be allowed here.
As we made our way into the room, a man approached us. He was dressed in an English suit that looked tailored to perfection. His dirty blonde hair fell over part of his face, strands shielding part of his face.
“Moon God.” He gasped in surprise. “Quentin and Thea. I can’t believe you’re actually dating.”
I thought about correcting him when I saw the look In Quentin’s face. The man was a business rival to him. They’d been competing for years now and even had a pretty good personal relationship with each
other.
Soon enough, a crowd had started gathering around us. I tried to put on a calm front, my grip on Quentin’s hand still firm. He never let go of me throughout everything.
“Wow. They look like such a nice couple.”
“I know right.”
“You look really beautiful, Thea.” A woman came up to me, a look of admiration in her eyes.
“I love your outfit, Thea.” Another man piped up.

The compliments continued to trickle in like that. Some of them mumbled and murmured their own comments about us.
“So Quentin’s finally come out of his shadow, huh?” A man chuckled. “I finally get to meet the the wolf he’s been trying to hide from the world.”
I found it a bit surprising watching their reactions and how they all seemed surprised seeing me and Quentin together like this.
Having a kind of alliance with him would actually solidify our standing before them and make them recognize what we stood for.
They seemed like they had been expectant of us coming out to them. The packs operating funds had its future in our hands. This meant that whatever happened now would greatly shape how things would move from now.
“Pleasure making your acquaintance.” I shook the hand of a woman who had come to greet me.
“I’ve heard so many things about you.” She had a knowing look in her eyes, a small smile playing on her lips.
I smiled. “Good things I hope.”
It continued like that with me socializing and networking with most of the people at the party. I played the role of a business partner perfectly well, making sure to form the connections I knew would help us.
Quentin had a look of pride in his eyes every time he would turn to see me engaging in a conversation with one of his business partners. I made sure to keep my tone calm and clear as I interacted with them.
“You’re doing really good.” Quentin said to me in a low tone.
I smiled. “Thank you.”
“Well look who we have here.”
I turned to see a familiar face in the crowd. My mood soured instantly as I made the recognition of who he is.
Keith.
He had been Quentin’s archenemy back when we were kids. He was dressed in a simple suit and had his hair slicked back.

“Keith.” Quentin said curtly.
The man stretched out his hand for a handshake. Quentin gingerly took his hand and shock
“I applaud you for all you’ve achieved.” He said with a small smile. “I wish you all the best in your new relationship with Thea.”
He had a knowing look in his eyes as he turned to me. My gaze shifted to the woman standing by his side.
I did my best to hide my surprise as I watched her. She was none other than Julia, one of the top models in the pack. And she was actually here.
“Julia.” I smiled. “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you.”
“I could say the same.” She eyed me up and down, a forced smile on her lips.
“I can’t believe you two have finally decided to show your relationship to the world.” Keith laughed. “Talk about scandalous.”
It was pretty obvious that despite his sickly sweet tone, there was a layer of hypocrisy laced under his
tone.
“I never thought you’d meet such a good partner after being rejected.”
