CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 11

“It’s an invitation to Mr. Alfred Moore’s banquet next Wednesday. Don’t forget to attend.” Joyce tossed over her shoulder as she headed for the bathroom.

Natalie skimmed through the invitation card, her brain slow to process the information due to all the wine she drank. It took her a moment to remember who Alfred was. He was her benefactor and also a dear friend.

On the day of the banquet.

The banquet was being held at the Moore family’s winery.

Most of the guests in attendance were some of J City’s most influential, powerful, or rich people.

After settling her kids for the night, Natalie arrived at the winery on time.

That night, she chose to wear a dress of her own design. It was an inspiration from two different cultures, leading to a dress with a high turtle-neck and a body-hugging design at the top. The bottom was of the usual mermaid fit.

The cool tone of the navy blue dress only accentuated the fairness of her skin. She had pinned her silky, raven locks up into a loose bun, revealing the smooth column of her slender neck. With a smile curving her lips, she practically oozed elegance and charm.

The banquet hall was bustling with noise when she entered it. A substantial crowd was already there as the guests milled around and chatted with each other.

The moment she made her entrance, her appearance instantly drew the attention of the hall’s occupants.
