DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 345
But she outshone the diamonds!
Next to her, the diamonds seemed dull.
The gown suited her far more than Sherman had imagined.
"It's just a dress, no need for thanks," Sherman said, his tone casual.
He had witnessed the whole affair earlier.
He thought Anthea would be at a disadvantage, overwhelmed by public opinion.
But surprisingly, not only did she not suffer, she turned the tables on Rebecca.
Her handling of the situation was far beyond her nineteen years.
Anthea leaned on the railing, gazing down at the garden level. "Nice view here, you've got a good eye for spots."
"Sherman! You're really here? Aren't you coming down to see...?"
Daniel arrived, panting.
His surprise was evident on spotting Anthea beside Sherman. "The... the Genius?"
"Mr. Robinson," Anthea nodded slightly.
It was really Anthea!
Daniel was astounded.
How did Anthea come to be with Sherman?
And...
Daniel's expression was complex.
Seeing that Daniel and Sherman needed to talk, Anthea excused herself, "Sherman, I'll head down to the garden level then."
At that, Sherman nodded slightly.
Daniel was stunned.
What did he just hear?
Anthea had called Sherman by his first name!
Usually, aside from him, no one else dared to address Sherman so casually.
To others, a respectful "Mr. Christensen" was obligatory.
And he, due to a life-saving act in the Middle East eight years ago, had earned Sherman's trust...
But Anthea had known Sherman for just a few days?
In Daniel's eyes, Sherman was never one to easily favor someone.
Even with Anthea's tech prowess, this special treatment seemed unusual.
And Anthea was wearing that dress.
"Sherman, that dress the Genius was wearing, it's the one we brought from Capital City, right?" Daniel asked.
"Mm-hmm," Sherman nodded, his expression unchanged.
Daniel's face was a picture of shock!
It really was!
Swallowing hard, Daniel voiced his confusion, "Sherman, do... do you like the Genius?"
The dress Anthea wore wasn't just any dress brought from Capital City!
It was designed by Sherman's sister, Yuna Christensen, intended for her brother's future bride.
Just the diamonds on the dress cost millions.
The fabric was imported from L Country.
It was meant for Rebecca to wear at their engagement ceremony.
But now, due to a misunderstanding, the engagement was called off.
And today!
It was Anthea who wore the dress.
Could he have misunderstood?
Was Sherman here tonight not for Rebecca, but for Anthea?
Daniel was bewildered.
How could Sherman fall for Anthea?
Though Anthea was impressive, what about Rebecca if Sherman preferred Anthea?
Anthea didn't need a man to thrive.
But Rebecca was different.
Rebecca needed Sherman.
"You're overthinking it. My feelings for Anthea are purely of admiration," Sherman responded, fiddling with his lighter.
"Admiration?" Daniel frowned, "Sherman, would you let her wear a dress personally designed by Yuna for mere admiration? That dress was meant for your future wife."
Sherman looked at Daniel, "It's just a dress. Worn and done. Why make it complicated? Besides, I have no plans to marry."
"Sherman, you really don't like the Genius?" Daniel pressed.
"I don't," Sherman shook his head.
"Since you don't like the Genius, consider Ms. Morris again! Ms. Morris was your fiancée, after all! And she's kind and good-hearted!" Sherman glanced at Daniel, "If she's so great, why don't you marry her? I'll even support you."
