He reached out to grab my wrist, and his eyes looked a s if they were burning. However, because of the crowd here, he only muttered, "Why do you have to be like this?”
I was silent. I did not want to be like this here too, but I was mad.
"Come pass this gift with me." Seeing that I did not say a word, he restrained his emotions and spoke coldly.
"I don't think Miss Reed hopes to see us there together. Go and accompany her. I'll be there in a while." I flung his hand away with force as I finished talking.
However, he was gripping my hand so tightly that it hurt. He looked at me and solemnly said, "Don't cause a scene."
I was so angry that I was close to laughing. "Theo, do you think of me as someone who unreasonably causes you trouble?"
As I was too angry, my voice was a little loud and the people next to me started giving sideways glances.
"Wanda, be aware of the occasion," he whispered.
I looked up and said, "I've never understood
appropriate etiquette nor do I know how to be aware o f the occasion. I'm just a wild girl from the countryside. I can't even begin to compare with Miss Reed.”
"You..." Theo's face got even gloomier and colder.
"Why are you here, Wandy? I've been looking all over for you. I know you don't like these kinds of occasions. Let’s leave." Tyler smiled warmly as he turned a blind eye to Theo's anger.
"Alright." I just wanted to leave. I forcefully broke free from Theo’s grip and left with Tyler.
I did not look back at him. If Tyler was the devil, then Theo was someone scarier than the devil.
After walking a few steps, I realized the gift box was still in my hands. I told him, "Let's go say goodbye to President White.”
"You can go. I'll wait for you here." Tyler was full of smiles tonight. It was rare for him to be so patient.
I went to the second floor where President White was.
