The music continued to play without anyone noticing her. Sherry's heart was beating uncontrollably fast. She could smell a familiar scent, knowing who was in front of her.
She raised her head slowly and saw Jeremy's stern and handsome face.
They unknowingly started dancing together in the middle of the dance floor. Jeremy's arms were wrapped around her as he silently stared at her.
"You're dating Chester. You rejected me because you knew you wanted to be his, right?" He caressed her chin, lifting her head slightly and placed his other hand on her bare back.
Sherry didn't answer him. She put her hands behind her back. She wanted to escape the clutches of his arms, but she couldn't.
"Let me go!" Sherry was appalled. At first, she didn't know who was being so rude. As soon as she saw it was Jeremy, everything made sense.
"No," Jeremy replied in a cold tone. His hands moved down from her back to waist as he grabbed tighter. "I promised that you would regret it."
Regret? The only thing she regretted was that she didn't see Jeremy when he approached. She squirmed and said, "I don't know what you mean."
Sherry was already pressed against him. She raised her head and stared at him with disgust and barked, "Take your hand off my waist!"
Hearing that, he faintly sneered. He said, "Wouldn't it be strange if you leave so abruptly?"
Of course it would look unusual. Sherry thought about this before the party. She didn't want to be around Jeremy but she was at the party on behalf of the company after all
There were so many people that knew Jeremy here. While a minute ago they all thought she was Chester's girlfriend.
As Jeremy's hand gripped hers, she gave up on trying to leave. She leaned in close to Jeremy and whispered in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"
Jeremy said, "Nothing. I just want to dance with you."
Frowning, Sherry asked doubtfully, "Really? Just a dance?"
Jeremy became annoyed and angrily said, "So what? You don't want to dance with me? You were so close with Chester just now. Why are you so hesitant to dance with me?"
Sherry was too angry to talk to him and could only scoff, "Just don't badger with me after we dance."
"Are you going to go back to Chester again? You've spent enough time with him. Isn't it my turn with you now? Don't you still want to be with me even after being with all these other men?"
Sherry's eyes widened with rage.
He sarcastically said once again, "I want you to be with me. After all, we are couple, and you are my wife."
After she heard what he said, Sherry couldn't help but sigh in exasperation. Her blood boiled and her anger was about to erupt.
Did he say that she was being promiscuous? A whore?
She was trying to stay calm because this wasn't the place to argue. Did he really not care about what he said and how it made her feel?
Jeremy was such an asshole!
Suddenly, she noticed a woman was stepping on her partner while dancing.
Sherry narrowed her eyes, raised her foot and stomped on Jeremy's foot with her heel.
"Humph!" After being stepped on, Jeremy winced and angrily looked at Sherry, squeezing her hand tighter.
"You really are ruthless." Sherry stomped down really hard and her heel made it so much worse.
He lost his balance slightly because of how hard Sherry hurt him. He regained his composure and slowly started dancing again, holding her in his arms.
"So do you want to let me go now?" Sherry looked at him coldly. Her high-heeled shoes were new found weapons!
The corners of his mouth lifted into a smile. Though it hurt, he tried his best to ignore it. Instead of loosening his grip, he held her even tighter.
He kept his hand on her waist. One moment he pinched her gently, and the next moment he turned into a gentle rub. Sherry's whole body stiffened as she lifted her foot to step on him again. This time she missed the stomp.
With a smirk, he said, "I won't make the same mistake again."
Every time he lowered his head, he would unconsciously touch her hair.
Sherry sighed, realizing she couldn't do anything to deter him. She could only stay helplessly in his arms. Rather regrettably it seemed like stepping on him only made the situation worse!
Across the dance floor, Chester held Jessie's hand, dancing with her.
She was still confused at the fact that Jeremy pushed her aside and walked away. It confused her even more that he took Sherry across the room to dance.
Chester danced heartlessly to the music. Jessie didn't feel anything for Chester but she couldn't just leave him. He also didn't reject her to dance so she couldn't leave him first.
Her motions were a bit stiff, and she said in a very cold tone, "Mr. Gu."
However, Jessie wasn't really Chester's preference. He just nodded his head slightly and danced intently, without saying anything.
There was a pause in the music and it suddenly switched to more upbeat dance music. The change in music almost gave an indescribable atmosphere to the party.
