Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 160

In those few seconds, Dylan walked into the hall, bouquet in hand, not once glancing back.

Bianca immediately pulled out her phone and dialed Dylan's number.

He didn't pick up.

Unwilling to let it go, she called again.

This time, Dylan hung up on her.

Her heart sank, icy and heavy.

All those years together, and not once had he brought her flowers.

She'd always thought Dylan just wasn't the romantic type, that he didn't understand women.

But now…

Now she realized just how foolish she'd been.

Jude had wanted to follow Bianca out—the longer he stayed, the more stifled and frustrated he felt.

He was just about to call her when he saw Dylan coming in, arms full of fresh flowers.

"Dylan…" he called out, loud enough that Dylan had to have heard.

But Dylan didn't even glance his way. Instead, he strode straight toward Noreen, his steps unwavering.

Jude's next attempt to call out got stuck in his throat. No words came out.

After the event, Noreen stepped down from the stage and was immediately surrounded by people asking for her contact information—some of them prominent business leaders and investors.

Noreen didn't turn anyone away. She exchanged numbers with them all.

More friends, more opportunities. She figured it never hurt to build connections; there might be a chance to work together down the road.

When she finally managed to break free from the crowd, a huge bouquet of sunflowers appeared in front of her, so large it blocked her view of the person holding it.

Noreen tilted her head, trying to see who it was.

The bouquet lowered, revealing Dylan's familiar face.
