Chapter 39 

In the past. I was a loner whereas he was the playboy, flirting with other girls. It was nice to 

see the first strike of karma, making him feel the pain I endured for so long. 

My dance partner was skilled in his field, dancing like a trained dancer. Bright was successful in earning my admiration as I disregarded Leo’s fury in his presence. 

“You are quite a dancer, Bright. Not bad!” 

Bright smiled brightly as he gave me a twirl and placed his hand on my waist, praising my 

beauty. 

“I am not a trained dancer, but a stunning fairy’s company has done the trick. 

You are looking breathtaking in pink, Laura.” 

Bright and his sweet talk! 

He didn’t fail to utter cheesy lines according to the occasion like always. But it was a formal party, so I couldn’t say it openly. I was about to return his favor when someone bumped. into me from behind, I flinched uncontrollably. 

“Who is there?” 

I turned around to see the culprit. Leo’s expressionless face was in front of me, shocking me for a heart stopping moment. Bright remarked at our encounter. 

“Hey, be careful, Leo. Balance is everything in the game!” 

I could sense the profound meaning behind Bright’s comment as Leo raised his brow and 

said, 

“Some accidents are bound to happen, Bright. Our game is rough…” 

Whatever! 

I resumed dancing with Bright silently as my interference could escalate the situation. However, Leo was adamant on causing trouble, he deliberately bumped into us on purpose.

Chapter 39 

I didn’t know what he was trying to prove. 

Gritting my teeth, I tolerated it all just for the sake of peace in the party until some fans came to request Bright. 

“Will you please allow us to have some pictures with you, Sir? We are your huge fans!” 

Those girls reminded me of my passion for my idols as Bright’s courteous reply resounded 

in my ears. 

“Thank you so much for your kind words. Where can I meet your friends?” 

Bright left with girls for autographs and pictures, and I decided to sit and relax for some time, my high heels were killing me. But it turned out to be my unfulfilled fantasy as Leo immediately shooed her dance partner away and flashed before me. 

“Can I have this dance with you, Miss Laura?” 

Oh! 

Miss Laura? 

What a progress! 

That copycat observed that Bright addressed me as Laura, so he swiftly jumped from Miss Becker to Miss Laura. As he was playing petty games, I masked my annoyance with a friendly smile and spoke softly. 

“Why not, Mr. Leo?” 

Locking my eyes with his, I grabbed his hand and swayed in the rhythm of the symphony. Leo’s hand on my back, the familiar s 

of his cologne, and his warmth seeping through my bones thudded my heart in my chest, making me nervous. 

It was really challenging to halt my turbulent thought process when this proximity was flying my mind back to the past, where a lovesick fool yearned to be so close to her lover, dying to feel the bounty of his touch.
