Chapter 127
Meanwhile, Amelie, who was holding her skirt with her hands, let go of the fabric as she caught a glimpse of Jodie coming her way. She curled her lips upward. Oh, look who’s coming. Are you so mad that you’re going to do it yourself now? Amelie wasn’t even concerned about Jodie’s presence at all, thinking her foolishness wasn’t worth her time and energy-
After Amelie’s speech, the music started playing just as it was time for everyone to dance. “Fancy a dance challenge, Amelie?” Jodie asked in a low voice, staring at Amelie as if she was trying to provoke her.
Bring it on, Amelie. Even if you can dance, one would need a solid foundation to become a good dancer. Eager to humiliate Amelie, Jodie was hoping to defeat her in a dance battle and spread the word about it when the dinner was over.
At the same time, she would also make sure everyone else knew that Amelie was responsible for setting her up during the press conference at Starlight Media, unable to forget that she had been forced to clean up after that.
When word about this gets out, Amelie and Starlight Media will become the subjects of criticism. Not only will her capabilities be doubted, but she will also be accused of putting down new talents. Haha, this news is going to keep everyone gossiping long enough. By then, I’ll rise to fame while Amelie’s reputation takes a hit.
As Amelie’s smile stiffened on her face, Jodie caught sight of it and felt satisfied, thinking the former was no match for her when it came to dancing. Confident, she walked toward the dance floor while shimmying her curvy body.
In the meantime, Julia returned and saw what had happened. She shook her head helplessly. “Goodness gracious, Jodie. You’re asking for trouble.” After all, she knew how good Amelie was at dancing; her skills were unmatched even when she was up against a professional dancer. Thus, Julia was sure Jodie would suffer defeat
at Amelie’s hands.
Nonetheless, Jodie, who had no idea what Amelie was capable of, got ready in her stance as she was prepared to show off her Paso Doble. Although Amelie refused to waste her time accepting Jodie’s challenge, Julia didn’t want to miss the show and nudged her closer to the dance floor. “Come on. Show everyone what you can do!”
When Amelie was pushed to the dance floor, she looked at her friend speechlessly. At the same time, the musician started playing fast-paced music when he saw Jodie in her stance. As everyone began to hear the pace of the lively music, Jodie started waving her skirt as she danced to the rhythm.
With her large movements, she was able to demonstrate a high standard of Paso Doble while everyone else watched and admired her act in silence. Wanting to force Amelie into accepting her challenge, Jodie danced in circles around the former to provoke her. While everyone shifted their gazes to Amelie, the lady only stood there in silence without responding.
“Isn’t that Jodie? What is she doing there?” At the same time, Elyse and Leo arrived with Toby. Seizing Leo’s arm, Elyse instantly knew what was going on with just one look at the dance floor, her eyes darkening. “Leo, is Jodie trying to challenge Miss Dillon? If that is the case, please tell Jodie to stop. I understand she is a good
Meanwhile, Leo quietly set his eyes on the dance floor, but instead of looking at his sister, he kept them on Amelie, who appeared to be standing still helplessly. In the meantime, Elyse secretly observed Leo’s expression after finishing her sentence, noticing his darkened eyes and pursed lips.
Truth be told, she felt gleeful to see how Amelie would get embarrassed by Jodie during the dance battle. The more helpless Amelie looks, the more disgusted Leo is going to feel for her. Soon, Elyse degraded Amelie and added, “Dancing is not like car racing. They are two completely different stories.” What can she do besides car racing?
