The position they stood meant she would keep seeing them, and then …
Amber lowered her hand and obviously she was quite unhappy.
Hayden also sensed the change in her mood. He then took a look at Jared and Elena. He knew why she looked unhappy.
After all, she had fallen in love with Jared again. With Jared dancing with another woman beside her in sight, she must feel quite terrible.
Hayden heaved a slight sigh then smiled to Jared and Elena, "Jared, Elena, are you here to dance?"
Elena patted Jared's shoulder and said, "Yeah, I'm here because he forced me to do so."
Jared gave her a hint to her to tell her not to pat him. Then he looked at Amber.
Amber knew someone was staring at her, but she didn't know who the guy was.
She didn't look up and she wasn't willing to do so.
That's because she knew that she would feel worse if she saw Jared with Elena.
Seeing that Amber was reluctant to see him, Jared bit his lips and he looked much unhappier.
Elena tickled her eyes and then smiled with her mouth covered by her hand, "Who your partner is, Hayden?"
Hayden didn't know how to answer that question.
If he told her that it was Amber Reed, Elena would know that she was Jared's ex-wife.
Jared's ex-wife was now a dancing partner of Jared's friend. It looked pretty weird.
Amber sensed the embarrassment of Hayden. And Elena had already asked about her. So, she must answer the question herself out of politeness. She could not remain silent anymore.
She took a shaky breath and then raised her head to looked at Elena, simply ignoring Jared, "Hello, my name is Amber Reed."
"Amber Reed. Then you are…" Elena turned to Jared and pretended to be quite surprised.
Amber nodded, "Yes, I'm the ex-wife of your dance partner. But you don't have to worry. We have nothing to do with each other now."
Hearing those words, Jared frowned.
What did she mean?
Did she misunderstand something?
Elena also hesitated for a second before she started to giggle, "Interesting, Ms. Reed. My relationship with Jared is not what you think…"
"Elena," Hayden didn't want her to speak the truth, so he interrupted, "The dance is going to start, so we may greet each other later. Amber and I will leave this spot to you as it is too crowded here. We will go somewhere else. Otherwise, we would run into each other.
Elena stared their backs and rubbed her jaw, " Hayden tried to stop me. Maybe he was reluctant to let
Amber know the relationship between us."
"What? He likes Amber?" Elena was taken aback by Jared's words, "How could he? He is your friend.
Doesn't he know you ..."
"It's fine," Jared said in a cold voice, "He wants Amber to be his lover and I won't let it happen."
Amber belonged to him!
The ban struck up a waltz and the couples on the dancing floor began to move. Stood on tiptoes,
turned around, stepped back and forth.
Waltz was not as intense as other kinds of social dance. It was gentle and smooth, with each move full
of elegance and class.
Hayden noticed where Amber fixed her eyes on and a sense of darkness flashed in her eyes and then
he held her more tightly by the waist.
Hayden replied smilingly, "Amber, you are my partner. But you are now constantly looking at someone
else. I just want some attention."
