When the music had played halfway through, many people had also slipped onto the dance floor. The atmosphere began to heat up.
It was fortunate that the opening dance was just a false alarm for me. I patted my chest and found a quiet corner to hide.
I didn't like such an event filled with insincerity.
After Colin was pulled away by a man to have a talk, I felt bored and found a corner. I was going to look for some food.
People might say things like, "Luna Lawson, were you starved to death in your past life? Why do you always go to parties just to eat instead of building your network and connections, and plotting how to maximize your benefit? Have you not eaten that food before or something?"
In fact, I was also frustrated. But I didn't know what else to do besides eating. I didn't have much in common with the people here. So, instead of greeting those snobbish people, I would rather eat more good food. After all, the food prepared by the Kings was hard to come by.
There was tons of good food at the buffet. I picked up a small plate and selected the most visually appealing cake, feeding myself with a small fork.
"So, you dislike me so much that you wouldn't even dance with me at the opening?" Xavier appeared suddenly, startling me and causing the small piece of cake on my fork to fall.
Looking at the dirtied floor, I felt so angry that I didn't know what to do. There were tissues in my bag, but I had left them in the car.
I anxiously watched as the cream on the floor changed shape as it melted. There were so many people around the hall. If someone accidentally stepped on the cream and slipped, I would be in big trouble.
"Hey, I was talking to you. Can you focus?" Xavier was behaving like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
He was not my mentor. Why should I focus on him? What was his problem?
