Chapter 1011

The splendid banquet hall was filled with fragrance and the sound of toasts. Alec introduced Mable to some of his friends, and Mable greeted each of them politely. “Alec, is Mr. Fowler not coming tonight?” A beautiful lady walked up to Alec, disappointment written all over her face. “Nelise, I had my assistant call, but Mr. Fowler is unwell and won’t be attending the dance tonight.” Mable’s eyes flickered. Did they mean Blair? Alec introduced to Mable, “Mable, this is my cousin, Nelise. Nelise, this is Ms. Mable Jefferson-Muller.” Mable greeted with a smile, “Hello, Ms. Nelise.” Since Blair was not coming, Nelise’s mood instantly plummeted. She glanced at Mable and then left with a huff. Alec frowned but could not reprimand her due to the occasion. Thus, he apologized to Mable. “I’m sorry. My cousin can be a bit unruly.” “It’s fine. I find her quite cute.” Alec looked at her and asked, “Mable, there’ll be a dance later. May I have you as my dance partner?” Mable was stunned.
