Chapter 294 It was clear that Natasha did not want Finley touching her , but he basked in the attention , beaming as he said , Madam , youve heard everyones requests .

Since they all want to see us dance , how can you refuse ? Natasha frowned slightly .

Finley was annoying as a persistent pest , but she worried that refusing him outright in front of everyone might cause a scene .

Just then , a female voice cut through the tension .

If Madam Vostokoff doesnt want to dance with Mr.

Moore , shouldnt a true gentleman step back rather than put her in an awkward position ? Who do you think you are to meddle in my affairs ? Finley turned with displeasure .

Aspen smiled , looking sharp in her tailored suit .

Mr.

Moore , you seem quite temperamental .

Im Aspen from the Bridgefields Stevens family , Finley nodded thoughtfully and said , Ah , Ms.

Stevens .

Dont tell me youre also vying to be Madam Vostokoffs dance partner ? And why not ? Aspen lifted her chin proudly .

Who says Madam Vostokoffs partner has to be male ? In my eyes , we women are every bit as capable as men .

Finley laughed .

I like a feisty woman .

Anyway , if you want to dance with Madam Vostokoff , Ill graciously step aside .

Though such a beauty shouldnt always dress like a man perhaps we could get to know each other better sometime ? Sure , Ill treat you to dinner someday , Aspen replied with a smile .

Finley returned to Yvonnes side , wrapping an arm around her waist .

Did you miss me ? Couldnt wait any longer ? Youre such a player ! Yvonne pinched him hard as they began dancing .

She purred , First , you get me hot and bothered , then you go after Madam Vostokoff .

And now that Aspen girl .

Have you set your sights on her too ? Finley chuckled in her ear as they danced , Shes quite famous .

I was just doing her a favor .

But dont worry .

Ill have her in my bed soon enough .

as just doing hepen is from the Bridgefields Stevens family .

Aspens neither here nor there .

You sure have strange tastes , Yvonne commented disapprovingly .

Finley boasted .

These tomboys are the hardest to get .

But once you have them , the conquest is incredibly satisfying .

Meanwhile , Aspen confidently approached Natasha , Madam , may I have the honor of your first dance? Chapter 294 They say you prefer swords to dresses .

I see its true , Natasha remarked , looking Aspen over .

I simply want to prove that women can do anything men can , Aspen declared proudly .

And often , we can do things even they cant .

Natasha chuckled and replied , Well said , but Im afraid I dont dance with women .

Aspens smile froze .

But you even refused Finley , Is there actually a man here who catches .

your eye ? Natashas beautiful eyes scanned the crowd before settling on Andrew .

Of course that gentleman over there is exactly who I want as my partner .

Besides Finley , the men here are either too old or too weak , Aspen said , following Natashas gaze .

Wait you want Dylan as your partner ? Natasha laughed softly .noveldrama

Dylan is too rough around the edges and quite ordinary looking .

Im interested in the man beside him .

Dont you think hes quite handsome and captivating ? Aspens face fell as realization dawned on her .

Madam , surely you dont mean Andrew ?
