Fleeing the Gilded Cage: Don’t Want to be the Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 23: How Long Do You Plan to Keep Doing This?

Due to the large number of people and the fact that it was being held at a five-star hotel, everyone needed to dress formally.

Men had to wear suits, while women had to wear formal dresses. And on such an important day, Martina naturally wanted to be more attentive, as it was her very important

teacher after all.

After being busy for a while, everything was finally arranged properly.

At 7 p.m. around, Martina received a phone call from her teacher, Ms. Bridge.

Martina and Elena were already on their way to the hotel by this time.

Martina smiled and said, “Don’t worry, even if I forget everything, I cannot forget your birthday. We’re on our way, and we’ll arrive in about 10 minutes.”

Ms. Bridge was very happy and said, “Okay, I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up, so you don’t have to worry about finding the entrance later.”

Martina surely had no reason to refuse these small requests and agreed to them.

When they arrived at the hotel, Elena went to park the car while Martina walked

towards the hotel entrance.

However, Martina didn’t expect that she would come face to face with the man she least wanted to see again, just one night later.

On this day. Martina donned a knee-length black evening dress embellished with delicate rhinestones, accentuating her exquisite figure. Even a mere glimpse of her side profile was enough to create a mesmerizing impression.

Her beauty was truly extraordinary, captivating the attention of many passersby, especially with her long, slender legs that seemed to command admiration. Her luscious wavy curls exuded a sense of both sensuality and allure, merging pure desire with

irresistible charm.

This kind of woman was exactly the type that could make a man’s heart skip a beat.
