A One Night Stand With My Boss

"Emily, that shawl is gorgeous! Who's the designer? I haven't seen anything like it before," Kristina remarked, lightly touching the fabric, her eyes full of admiration and curiosity. Emily smiled, her face glowing with pride. "It's handcrafted by my future daughter-in-law."

Kristina paused for a moment, then regained her composure and nodded, smiling. "That's really impressive."

Nearby, Annabelle's eyes flickered with barely concealed envy and dissatisfaction. She forced a smile, glancing at Emily's shawl now and then, gripping her mother's hand a bit too tightly.

Kristina gently squeezed Annabelle's hand, smiling. "Connor's in a relationship, huh? I wonder who the lucky girl is. I haven't heard anything about her."

Emily chuckled, her eyes shining with admiration. "She's not from our social circles, but she's truly a wonderful girl."

At that moment, a wealthy lady chimed in with a laugh, "Is it that celebrity girl?"

With a hint of disdain, she recalled how she had once tried to introduce her daughter to Connor, but Emily had politely declined, a decision that still seemed to irk her.
