Cordelia smiled. “Ms. Carmichae, you can call me Ms. Jenner. I’m Zephyr’s partner of the night.”
Michelle snorted and rolled her eyes.
Partner? How could she say something so shameless!?
“Excuse me, Ms. Jenner.” She was pompous in front of Cordelia. “Mr. Zephyr already has a partner. It’s me!”
It felt like something clenched Cordelia’s heart as a faint ache spread throughout her limbs.
Zephyr, oh Zephyr! It seemed that the dozen unsent messages earlier were most likely to tell her that his unforgettable love was also there tonight.
Cordelia took a deep breath and felt her temples throb.
When she got Michelle’s information, she used to picture many scenarios of their meeting. She had even rehearsed what she should say with what expression and what action.
When they actually met now, though, it was an entirely different case.
The corners of Cordelia’s lips twitched. She kept reminding herself that she must not lose her cool here. She had to settle this unforgettable love first and then take care of Terrible Two Z at home!
“What did you say, Ms. Carmichael?” Cordelia looked at her indifferently. “Zephyr’s asked you to be his partner for tonight?”
“Exactly!”
“Oh, yes, that’s right! We all heard it!”
The female celebrities who were watching the show from the side quickly butted in, wanting to take the opportunity to make fun of the clueless singer.
“Ms. Jenner, you don’t know Michelle yet, right? Hah, she signed with Sol Entertainment not too long ago and is the candidate for the best potential singer in this year’s singing award show!”
“Yeah, even Mr. Zephyr sees her differently!”
