Music started to play in the theater. The prelude to the show was a few clowns performing a couple of pretty neat tricks. It brought the audience's emotions in the direction they wanted for the real show that would be coming up soon.
Harrier watched the show as he chatted with Hazel about work.
When Hazel expressed her thoughts, her new ideas attracted Danrique's attention. The three of them started talking about work again.
Donald wanted to join a few times but failed because his line of thinking was different from theirs.
It made him feel exasperated, but there was nothing he could do. So, he changed course and enthusiastically greeted Francesca instead. He even introduced her to the history of the circus.
She wasn't at all interested in that as she stared at the audience below with furrowed eyebrows.
It was her assumption that Danrique booked the entire place. That way, she could summon the animals to escape.
However, with so many people around, she couldn’t do that. Otherwise, she'd be risking hurting innocent people.
So, that idea wasn't going to work.
Perhaps she really wouldn't be able to escape today?
“All right, all right, let's stop here.” Harrier smiled. “I think you should spend time with your fiancee, Danrique. Look at how bored she is right now.”
“Are you hungry?” Danrique had no experience in wooing women, so he grabbed a small piece of rib for her. “Eat.”
“Okay.” Francesca grabbed the rib and dug into the it.
“There's fork and knife here, Cece,” Eva reminded in a small voice.
“It's quite convenient eating it like this.” Francesca didn't care. She even licked her finger.
The other ladies were shocked by her unsightly behavior when they saw that.
They wondered which mountain village she had crawled out of.
Danrique tenderly wiped the stain on her face away. There wasn't at all any disdain in his eyes, only love.
Hazel saw that and lowered her head disappointingly. She raised her cup and drank her wine.
Eva, on the other hand, was jealous.
