An Understated Dominance - Chapter 42

His dad had always warned him to steer clear of women like Dahlia Nicholson. “You’re too kind,” Dahlia said with a polite smile.

“Dahlia, I have some good news,” Chris suddenly changed the subject. “I heard from Jeff that the Steel Lady will be at today’s grand opening.”

“Oh? Really? That’s fantastic!” Dahlia’s eyebrows raised in surprise. Until now, only the general manager of the Harmons had come to sign contracts or discuss business. She had never met the daughter of the Harmon family, but she had heard of Natasha.

Since Andrew retired, Natasha had taken over the Harmon family business all by herself. She worked hard to make it even more successful. Dahlia admired Natasha and thought of her as a role model. It was unfortunate that they had never met.

Now that Dahlia knew Natasha would be there today, she was excited. She was eager to see how this business star carried herself.

“Hey Sis! I heard Natasha Harmon is one of Swinton’s Four Beauties. She must be stunning! Can you introduce me to her after you meet her?” James asked eagerly.

“Yeah! James is getting older. It’s about time we talked about his marriage. If he meets Ms. Harmon, it wouldn’t be bad if he took her last name!” Florence chimed in enthusiastically.

“Mom! What are you talking about? Why would Ms. Harmon ever notice James?” Dahlia replied sharply.

“I don’t agree. What’s wrong with James? He’s young, strong, and handsome. That’s more than enough for Ms. Harmon!” Florence defended him.

“Exactly! Just look at my muscles! Women love them!” James flexed his biceps proudly.

Dahlia was left speechless.

As she watched them, she started to regret inviting them.

“Ms. Harmon is already taken. We can stop daydreaming about it,” Chris said, interrupting James.

“Does that mean I don’t have a chance?” James asked, looking disappointed. “Who’s the lucky guy who caught Ms. Harmon’s attention?”

“I don’t know, but we’ll find out soon,” Chris replied with a smile.

“Really? I just hope he’s as handsome as me!” James said, clearly annoyed.

The performance on stage had ended, and the host stepped forward, bringing silence to the crowd.

“Welcome, everyone! The grand opening has officially begun! Please give a warm welcome to Ms. Harmon!”

As the host introduced her, the guests erupted into applause.

“She’s here! Ms. Harmon is here!” Chris and the others perked up, their eyes lighting up with excitement.

“Is she finally revealing herself?” Dahlia whispered eagerly.

A young and beautiful woman walked onto the stage, capturing the attention of everyone in the room.

Three bright spotlights focused on her, and the crowd was stunned by what they saw.

“Is that really her?”
