Chapter 490 After having successfully convinced Taya, Jenny drove them to a styling studio for a change of their clothes. People in Washington, no matter men or women, had always attached great importance to dinner parties. It was no surprise for them to show up perfectly and attractively dressed up. Taya wore a black perfectly-tailored V-neck tight fitting gown, showing her alluring figure to the fullest. Under her shoulder-length short hair, her full chest, tiny waist as well as her fair, slender thighs were all seen at a glance. She requested to change into a more conservative gown, Jenny urged along, saying that they were running late. She could only borrow Neil’s suit jacket and drape it over her shoulders, at least to cover her bare back. They soon arrived at the hotel. After Neil exited the car, he gentlemanly extended a hand to help her out. When the two stepped on the red carpet, Neil turned to Taya, whispering in her ear, “Take my hand. No one will harass you
again.”
Taya immediately raised her fair little hand and took his arms before the two stepped into the hotel side by side. A large crowd attended the dinner party, but they were not from the management of the NASA, nor the core technical personnel. Instead, they were from the administrative center. Seeing the designers, they hurriedly approached and introduced themselves.
Neil forced a stiff smile, took the red wine brought by the waiter, and led Taya all the way to the food area with an awkward laugh.
Standing in front of rows of food, Taya took a piece of snack and heard a commotion just as she was about to put it in her mouth. “Alpha Knight, you’re here…” Hearing that name, Taya subconsciously turned her head to the entrance, only to see a man walking into the banquet hall. He was wearing a formal suit for formal occasions. Under the collar of his white shirt was an eye- catching black tie. It was cooler than his usual business suit, his elegant and misty temperament exaggerating his nobility with elegance.
Seeing his cold eyes sweeping across the hall, Taya turned her head frantically around and told Neil, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
She placed the snack aside and lifted the hem of her gown, walking in the direction of the ladies. Before she could push the door open, a hand grabbed hers, dragging her into his embrace in the next second. Leaning against his firm chest, Taya’s curled eyelashes fluttered as her gaze landed on the flawless man in front of her.
After having not seen him for months, he had lost tons of weight on his face, marking off his angular jaw lines. When meeting the indifferent and cold eyes, Taya subconsciously wanted to look away, but he lowered his head to scan her face. Griffon’s unblinking stare was fixed on the beautiful and delicate face for several seconds before he lifted her chin and leaned in for a kiss, aiming for her glossy red lips. Taya pushed him away at once, hissing, “Alpha Knight, what are you doing?”
The words Alpha Knight made Griffon’ body freeze. That was right. She was, right then, in a mated wolf and she-wolf relationship with Silas, so how could he be kissing another man’s wife?
When realization struck him, Griffon’ heart ached, draining his handsome face pale of colors… His fists clenched tightly, and after forcefully controlling the desire to miss her that was nearly driving him mad, he blurted out apologizing to Taya, “I’m sorry”. Taya shook her head lightly, not knowing what to say. “Let me… go to the toilet.” Embarrassed, Taya wanted to find an excuse to avoid Griffon, but he stopped her. “Taya, I haven’t seen you for a long time. If you don’t mind, let’s talk about the old times.” Taya looked up at him again. From his face, there was no other emotion. It seemed that it was true he wanted nothing more than to catch up with each other.
