“Zachary, we’ve been friends for such a long time. You won’t reject my invitation to be my dance partner, right?” Zachary’s silly expression was too cute. On the surface, he had a solemn expression, but anyone who knew him well would know that he was in a daze and at a loss for what to do.
I was amused by his reaction and stuck out my tongue at him. No matter he was willing to be my dance partner or not, I dragged him to the dance floor. Even though Mom still looked unhappy, her expression had relaxed a little.
Zachary’s dance style was the same as his personality, scrupulous and methodical. If he participated in a dancing competition, I believed he would claim first because his movements were too standard.
Sliding into the center of the dance floor, he suddenly piped up, “Yvonne, I’m a married man, and I’ve never thought of divorce. Neither do I want to be a two-timer. Although you’re my savior, this is a matter of principle.”
All of a sudden, I was nonplussed and began to wonder why he was so simple-minded.
“I only invited you for a dance. You don’t have to let your imagination run wild,” I responded flatly.
“Every discerning guest knows that you should do this dance with your significant other,” he replied gloomily. “I can already predict the headline of the newspapers tomorrow.”
“I think you should worry about how to explain it to Mr. and Mrs. Zimmer.” Having said that, I could not help but chuckle. No wonder Sabrina loves to tease him. This is fun.
“I think I’ll die a horrible death. Can we turn back time?”
After the opening dance, Mark brought me around to greet every guest. Every time he introduced me, he had a serious demeanor and kept emphasizing that I was his daughter.
Compliments from the guests came one after another – what a young and promising painter, beautiful and charming lady, as expected of the daughter of the Goldstein family, and so on. I found it strange because those words were used to describe Crystal in the past. Now that my identity was different, they also praised me the same way. It could be said that my net worth had skyrocketed.
