Chapter 341 Revelation The party was quite huge. As the host of the party, Leo was busy entertaining his guests. Only when the melody started did the crowd start to move to the dance floor and he had some time to look for Melanie.
âIâm so sorry for leaving you on your own.â
âYouâre being too polite, Mr. Leo.â Melanie gave him a courteous smile.
âWeâre not strangers. Just call me Leo,â he said.
âI canât get used to it so suddenly, but Iâll try.â she said as she maintained some distance.
âDo you want to dance?â
Leo looked at the dance floor that was slowly getting exciting. Melanie nodded and said, âSure, Iâll take my leave for now...â
Leo was speechless.
His invitation was stuck in his throat as he looked at Melanie walking to the dance floor alone...
Luis told him that Melanie spent the night at Morgan Group last night, but she went running out of there in the morning crying...
Was she so upset that she was going to dance alone?
On the other side, the company owners that were chatting with Jeffrey said to him, âThereâs the music for the dance. We shouldnât stop Mr. Jeffrey from dancing.â And then, they moved away.
Jane was standing behind Jeffrey. When she heard the word âdanceâ, her entire body stiffened. She bit her lips and walked up to Jeffrey, stopping in front of him, waiting for him to invite her.
However, even after a while, Jeffrey still didnât budge.
Nathanâs order echoed in her ears. She didnât chat or drink with him, so she had to at least dance with him, right? Jane made her decision and took the initiative to ask him, âDo you need a dance partner, Mr. Morgan?â
âYou can dance?â Jeffrey finally looked at her.
Jane quickly nodded and said, âI learned how to dance before. I wonât embarrass you!â
The edges of Jeffreyâs lips were raised, but he didnât seem to be smiling. Instead, it looked like disdain from discovering something. âI already have a dance partner. You should find someone else.â
With that, Jeffrey turned around and walked away, heading to the other side of the dance floor.
When he was halfway there, he saw Melanie walking toward him. She had intentionally put on makeup that made her look exhausted, but even then, he felt pitiful for her...
He gave his hand to her and said, âMay I invite you to a dance, Miss Melanie?â
âOf course, Mr. Jeffrey.â She raised her hand and placed it gently on his.
The two of them began to dance perfectly in sync with each other as the music changed.
+15 BONUS This was not their first time dancing with each other. They didnât need to synchronize their movements or their actions. As they danced, he observed Leoâs expression, while she observed Islaâs.
As expected, they were both in shock.
But Jane was even more shocked than those two.
She stood at the edge of the dance floor and looked at Melanie and Jeffrey who looked as if they were a match made in heaven.
She felt like an unneeded clown looking at the handsome man dancing with the beautiful woman.
Suddenly, her phone started to vibrate. She was instantly brought back to reality and she quickly answered the call after running to a corner.
âWhat happened?!â Nathan questioned her in anger.
âIâm not sure, Mr. Quinn. It didnât seem like it is over between Melanie and Mr. Morgan... He refused me, saying that he has a dance partner already...â
Jane was still explaining when Nathan shouted, âHow many times do I have to tell you?! When you answer my call, never say my name!â
âOf course... Mr...â Jane quickly stopped herself from saying what came after.
âYou better act normally!â
Nathan realized that this might be something that Jeffrey and Melanie came up with and immediately changed his plan. âIâll tell you what to do next. Even if theyâre not fighting, I can make them fight immediately!
âGo to the entrance and get something for me!â Nathan said.
Jane didnât dare to dilly-dally and quickly ran to the entrance. When someone that looked like a servant saw her, he secretly gave her a card.
âThis is...?â
âA keycard for the guest room on the third floor!â
