Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 617 Winnie froze for a moment. Michael added, "But the Olson family will be there too. Before the restaurant's opening, my father invited quite a few friends to show their support. The Olsons are among them. "Still, I reserved a special table. The view is great, and | thought... maybe you'd like to try the new dishes." Michael's family business revolved around brand-name restaurants and foreign trade.

From the time Michael was little, Oscar had been in the restaurant industry, and their brand now covered about a third of Goldmont City's dining market, focusing 'on high-end cuisine. When Michael was a child, he often took Winnie along to sample dishes at the new restaurants. Winnie loved the thrill of sneaking into the restaurants with him. They would swagger in, order an enormous spread, and when it came time to pay, they would simply leave. If they weren't caught, it was exhilarating; if they were, Michael would own up to his identity and accept whatever punishment his father gave.

It was a mischievous game they both enjoyed, like a secret little adventure. ---- After Winnie went to university, the games stopped. "So... if | go, do | have to pay?" she asked quietly after a long pause. Michael chuckled softly. Hearing his laugh, Winnie couldn't help but smile too. "No need." That afternoon, Winnie received a same-city delivery from Michael. He had sent a text in advance-it was a formal evening gown. The restaurant was French-style and required guests to dress appropriately. If Winnie dressed too casually, she might stand out awkwardly.

She took it to the dressing room and unwrapped it: a pale pink, form-fitting mermaid gown. Though she was slim, her height and curves made the dress flatter her figure perfectly. Once on, it was sensual yet delicate, radiant in a way that drew the eye irresistibly. That was why her family rarely let her wear gowns like this to formal events-she was far too striking. Even Veronica's figure, while good, couldn't quite match hers. Near the end of the workday, Winnie finally snuck into the ---- dressing room to try it on.

She had never told Michael her exact measurements, yet the gown fit as though it were tailor-made. The inner layer was soft, breathable tulle; the outer layer shimmered with tiny crystals fading from silver to pale pink. In natural light, it seemed ethereal; under the lights, it sparkled everywhere. Her fair skin made the gown's color pop, giving her the soft, rosy glow of a ripe peach-like a princess come to life. Staring in the mirror, Winnie couldn't help but be captivated. 'Is this really me? So beautiful,' she thought. "Hey, Winnie, tonight we..." At that moment, Charlotte arrived.

She stepped into the dressing room and froze at the sight of Winnie in the gown. "Wow... you look amazing!" Charlotte's eyes went wide, and her gaze lingered greedily over the expensive dress, She had never seen anything so beautiful. Khloe's engagement gown had been impressive, but elegant and imposing-Winnie's was playful and charming. And Winnie usually dressed simply; Charlotte had always known her figure was good, but she had never realized it was this stunning. ---- Flustered by Charlotte's reaction, Winnie quickly shut the door and gestured for her to be quiet "Is...

this dress from Michael? Are you two going on a date? Not .. an engagement, right?" Charlotte's eyes darted around mischievously as a smile crept across her face. She immediately guessed. Winnie blushed furiously and waved her hands. "No! No, it's just the opening of their new restaurant tonight. We're going to dinner .. there's a dress code."
