Chapter 690
When the music had played halfway through, many people had also slipped onto the dance floor. The atmosphere began to heat up.
It was fortunate that the opening dance was just a false alarm for me. I patted my chest and found a quiet corner to hide.
I didn't like such an event filled with insincerity.
After Colin was pulled away by a man to have a talk, I felt bored and found a corner. I was going to look for some food.
People might say things like, "Luna Lawson, were you starved to death in your past life? Why do you always go to parties just to eat instead of building your network and connections, and plotting how to maximize your benefit? Have you not eaten that food before or something?"
In fact, I was also frustrated. But I didn't know what else to do besides eating. I didn't have much in common with the people here. So, instead of greeting those snobbish people, I would rather eat more good food. After all, the food prepared by the Kings was hard to come by.
There was tons of good food at the buffet. I picked up a small plate and selected the most visually appealing cake, feeding myself with a small fork.
"So, you dislike me so much that you wouldn't even dance with me at the opening?" Xavier appeared suddenly, startling me and causing the small piece of cake on my fork to fall.
Looking at the dirtied floor, I felt so angry that I didn't know what to do. There were tissues in my bag, but I had left them in the car.
I anxiously watched as the cream on the floor changed shape as it melted. There were so many people around the hall. If someone accidentally stepped on the cream and slipped, I would be in big trouble. "Hey, I was talking to you. Can you focus?" Xavier was behaving like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
He was not my mentor. Why should I focus on him? What was his problem?
I cursed him inwardly but could only reluctantly speak to him.
No matter what, he was my mentor's son.
"What did you say? Please pardon me."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Xavier came to stand very close beside me. The delicate rose fragrance was gone, replaced by the smell of sandalwood. It matched his status well.
I lost focus again after I said that, so he was unhappy about it.
He impatiently brushed his hair back from his forehead and adjusted his tie. Then, he lowered his voice and said seriously, "Luna, I've liked you since the first time I saw you. I know you're. Mr. White's girlfriend, but since you're not married, I have the right to pursue you.
"So, will you consider giving me a chance?"
I was utterly shocked, feeling the cake in my stomach start to churn uncomfortably. It was trying to come back out again, but I forcibly suppressed it. What kind of bizarre question was that?
He knew I had a boyfriend yet he still tried to come between us? He knew where my heart was, yet he was still actively trying to become the third party? Was he crazy?
"Why are you so distracted today?
The son of Professor King is
pursuing you. Could you please take my feelings seriously? This is the
first time I'm trying to pursue a woman."
"The first time? Are you sure?" I looked at him up and down suspiciously. How could such a young man like him never pursue a
woman before? Who would believe
that?
