Chapter 410 Her Charm

Tilda was speechless.

Astrid poked Theo’s hand with her fork and snapped, “Are you crazy? How can you say stuff like that to Queen?”

“Hmph! Why not? Queen is young, gorgeous, and talented. Any guy would feel the same. It’s normal. Or what, Astrid? You mad because I had the guts to say it out loud? Don’t tell me you’ve got a crush on me!”

“… Theo, go to hell!” Astrid finally exploded.

“Ahem, I kinda… like Queen too.” Jarrett quietly raised his hand, sneaking a look at Tilda’s face before ducking down like some shy schoolboy.

Zach, who barely spoke the whole night, blushed and stammered, “Me… me too…”

Tilda’s eyes went wide. What the heck? This is chaos! It feels like I just walked into a war zone! I thought you were all my teammates, but turns out you guys wanna date me?

“Hear that, Astrid? With a woman like Queen, guys naturally fall for her!” Theo smirked at Astrid. He hadn’t expected Jarrett and Zach to back him up. Haha! This just proves our captain is on another level. Women envy her, and men lose their minds over her!

Astrid gritted her teeth. “Queen, don’t listen to these horny idiots. Just eat. If they ruin your appetite, I’ll make them pay!”

“Yeah… let’s just eat.” Tilda had no idea how to respond, so she lowered her head and focused on her plate. The food was good. No wonder it was a Sky Dining branch under Woodward Group.

After cleaning her dish, she made up an excuse to head to the restroom.

Astrid glared at the guys. “See? You embarrassed her! This is on you all!”

Theo looked deadly serious. “Astrid, we’re not joking! We mean it! If you say not one of us has a crush on Queen, that’d be the real joke!” Jarrett and Zach both agreed.

“Theo is right.”

“Yeah, same here.”

Astrid was left speechless.

Theo lifted his glass, took a sip, and gave her a sly grin. “Astrid, don’t tell me you don’t feel anything for Queen. She’s strong, leads us, trusts us, gives us hope for the future, and never gives up. You’ve never thought about her like that?”

“Are you kidding? Queen and I are both women. Plus, we’re distant relatives. Keep talking trash, and I’ll smash your head in!” Astrid looked flustered, then grabbed her glass and chugged the ’82 Lafite in one go. Her face turned red instantly.

Jarrett, Theo, and Zach froze. They were just joking around. No way, right? It must’ve been the wine. Could Queen’s charm truly work on both men and women? Even Astrid got flustered? They didn’t expect that.

Meanwhile, Tilda splashed some water on her face in the restroom. She stared at her reflection, brushing her fingers over her cheek. “This face… doesn’t look that special. Is it truly that eye-catching? They’re just too relaxed around me. Now they’re cracking dumb jokes at my expense.”

She still had no idea how strong her charm was.

Right then, a surprised voice came from the doorway. “Good evening, Mrs. Jenson.”

Genevieve “accidentally” ran into Blair outside the women’s restroom. Of course, it wasn’t an accident at all. She’d been waiting for the perfect moment to run into Blair, hoping to make a lasting impression. Blair didn’t suspect a thing.

Blair’s first impression of Genevieve was good, mostly because of Justin’s unique way of treating her and the natural vibe she carried. The earlier performance only made that impression stronger.

“Hi, you’re Ms. Genevieve, right? The one who played just now? I loved your piece. I’ve heard lots of piano pieces, but never that one. What’s it called? I wanna download it later.”

“Uh…” Genevieve froze, then quickly smiled. “Actually, it’s my original piece. I’m terrible at naming songs, so I was hoping Justin could help me come up with one.”

Original?

Tilda’s eyebrows lifted slightly.
