My Billionaire Boss Is My Twin's Daddy
You underestimate yourself
Hilary and Dwayne move deeper into the ballroom. Waiters glide by with champagne. The chandeliers glitter like stars overhead.
Hilary Chin
Whispering “Everyone’s staring…”
Dwayne Haskins
Calmly “Let them.”
Hilary Chin
Frowns “Easy for you to say. You’re used to this.”
Dwayne Haskins
Glances down at Hilary “And you’re not?”
Hilary Chin
look at her boss “I’m used to spreadsheets and coffee runs, not… this.”
Dwayne Haskins
smirks faintly “You’ll adapt.”
Before she can argue, a tall woman in a glittering silver gown approaches. She looks at Hilary like she’s something stuck to her shoe.
Veronica Lin
“Dwayne, darling. And who is this?”
Dwayne Haskins
“My assistant. Hilary Chin.”
Veronica Lin
Arches a brow “Assistant? How… unconventional. You’ve never brought one before.”
Hilary Chin
Forces a polite smile “Nice to meet you.”
Veronica ignores her, eyes still on Dwayne.
Veronica Lin
“Don’t tell me you’re changing your type.”
Dwayne Haskins
“I don’t have a type.” *cold tone
Veronica pouts, then drifts away. Hilary exhales slowly, her nerves rattled.
Hilary Chin
Murmurs “Wow. I feel so welcome.”
Dwayne Haskins
“You handled her better than most would.”
Hilary Chin
Snorts softly “Better? I thought I was one stutter away from disaster.”
Dwayne Haskins
Quietly “You underestimate yourself.”
His words, so unexpected, linger with her longer than they should. She looks away quickly, her heart thudding.
