Sherilâs head turned toward Logan. He frowned and said, âNo, weâre not dancing anymore!â.
She had sprained her ankle, so dancing would only aggravate the injury!
Anyway, what was the big deal about suffering a little teasing?
Logan, however, had an icy look on his face. Then, before he could say anything, Nora stood up and said lazily, âOf course, sheâll dance-why wouldnât she?â
Surprised, Sheril looked at her.
Logan rolled his ankle a little. The sprained area was already starting to go numb. She was about to speak when a young man who looked to be about twenty-two or twenty-three suddenly emerged from the crowd. He looked bright and cheerful, had large eyes and thick eyebrows. His hair was dyed olive green.
Isaac Young held Loganâs arm and asked, âYou got a death wish, Logan?â
Logan frowned. âLet go of me! Leave me alone.â
Isaac lowered his voice and said, âYou canât let the condition of your ankle get worse. This way, youâll still have a chance to participate in the race three days later! You must understand that youâre not running just for yourself! Unless you can find a better runner to help you, you already run the risk of going bankrupt this time! Will being embarrassed or not matter at that point?â
Logan clenched his fists and looked at Sheril.
Although she was his older sister, she was only ten minutes older than him, so Logan had always been protective of her. Seeing her now humiliated by the others, how could he ignore it?
Isaac spoke again. He said, âBesides, even if you insist, will you be able to dance well?â
Logan clenched his jaw.
He didnât like to dance, so he had only learned a little international ballroom dancing.
During his hesitation, Sheril had already grabbed Nora by the wrist. âSay no more, Nora. Iâm not going to dance anymore. I donât have a partner.â
Nora smiled and said, âWho says you donât have one.â
Sheril was stunned. The next moment, she saw the young woman stand up and tie her long hair into a high ponytail.
Then his cool, slender arm went around her waist and pulled her to him. As Sheril jerked forward, she unconsciously clutched Noraâs shoulder for support.
Aside from her almond-shaped eyes, everything else about Sheril resembled Melissa. She was slender and about 5â6â³.
Nora was 5â6â³. Besides, she had already intended to dance with Sheril when they left the house, so she had deliberately put on thick-soled shoes.
As a result, when they stood side by side, their height difference was actually perfect!
Sherilâs eyes suddenly widened. âYouâ¦â
âThatâs right, Iâll dance with you!â
Noraâs lips curved into a smile as she spoke wildly and arrogantly.
Sheril looked up at her. Suddenly, she smiled softly and said, âAll right!â
Since Nora wanted to dance, she would accompany her and have some fun. At most, she would then lead the dance!
ââ¦â
Everyone around her heard their exchange.
They were stunned, but after a while, Rachel, who was the first to recover, laughed softly and said, âAre you kidding? Sheril, if youâre really lacking a partner, why donât I find you one? Having your cousin dance with you? I mean, sheâs never learned about international ballroom dancing, has she?â.
As soon as he said that, everyone else also started talking among themselves.
âSheâs never learned international ballroom dancing? Then what does she want to be the heroine for?â
ââ¦But donât you think she looked so stunning and so cool just now! Sheâs so beautiful!â
âShe may feel good acting cool, but itâll all go down the drain when they dance later! Who doesnât know how to talk tough?â
âHahaha, what a great joke this is, how depressed Sheril must be? To think that she canât even find a dance partner and has to resort to dancing with a woman instead?â
âSpeaking of which, the queen of the dance today will definitely be Rachel! Sheâs been practicing very diligently. Plus, she also has Caden with her this timeâ¦â
âI originally thought Sheril still had a chance, but I also think it will be Rachel now!â
âRachel dances better than Sheril to begin with. Sheril used to rank better than her just because of Cadenâ¦â
Nora said nothing even when she heard the derisive comments from everyone around them.
Action was a more powerful slap in the face. Words were only weak and powerless at times like this.
Two minutes later, Nora and Sheril made their way to the dance floor. Both turned deaf ears and blind eyes to both the stares and speculative words of everyone.
Thanks to the two of them, everyone gathered around.
After Rachel and Caden got into position, Rachel shot a mocking glance at the two nearby.
The first dance of the evening was the tango. The tango required power, otherwise the dancers would not be able to bring out their beauty. A woman competing with a man in terms of strength? She was putting herself on display!
The corners of her lips curled up.
The title of tonightâs queen was in the bag.
Just as she thought it, great music began to play.
Rachel instantly got in the mood. She broke away from Caden and then they crashed violently into each other!
âYay!â
The audience erupted in applause. Rachel kept her expression serious, but a smile formed in her eyes.
However, when she looked out of the corner of her eye, she realized that the audience? Wasnât really looking at her?
Startled, Rachel unconsciously turned her head and looked over.
All the other dancers were already more or less distracted: all their gazes were on the two young women, one in red and one in black.
When the music started, the gazes of the two women suddenly changed and they separated from each other.
With her back to her partner, Sheril began to dance and sway to the music. She was as agile as a snake. A shiver ran through the fingertips of her left hand to her left shoulder, then from her right shoulder to the fingertips of her right hand.
Then he let his head fall back!
At first he had worried that Nora had not done a good job on the initial steps, but when he saw Nora, a look of mild amazement appeared in his eyes.
The young woman was standing, unconcerned, with a straight and fit posture. The seductive look in her eyes was as if she was an elegant, noble gentleman asking her to dance.
Sheril approached Nora in a hurried turn. By the time she stopped, Nora had already reached out and grabbed her by the waist.
The strong beat of the music was exciting and exhilarating.
Their dancing was steady and powerful.
The people around them could barely see their movements. All they could see were their silhouettes, their speed and a constantly shifting center of gravity, which gave off a sense of decisiveness as well as clear and defined edges.
Both seemed very serious, their gazes a bit solemn when they made the occasional eye contact. However, from time to time they would turn their bodies and quickly turn their heads to the side and look around.
Their dance steps, sometimes still and sometimes moving, as well as the distant and unfamiliar music, covered them with a strange and mysterious veil.
They were the queens of the dance floor, and people couldnât take their eyes off them at all!
Even Rachel and Caden couldnât help looking from time to time⦠which made them make quite a few mistakes.
When the music came to an abrupt end, the hot and sexy dancing also finally ended.
Five seconds of silence later, the party broke into fervent applause!
âThatâs so cool!â
âMy god, who is that young lady? Sheâs driving me gy.â
There were also people saying things like.
âSheril looks great too! Sheâs always been a great dancer!â
âI wonder if Caden has regretted his actionsâ¦â
In the midst of the conversations, a furious Rachel looked at Caden, who was staring at Sheril with an unreadable, constantly shifting gaze. She couldnât help but say, âWhat are you looking at? Even if you dance well, can you help Tanya Turner give you tips?â.
Caden suddenly came to his senses.
At that moment, there was suddenly a flurry of activity at the door!
Someone exclaimed, âOh my gosh, Miss Smith is so amazing! Sheâs actually invited Tanya Turner to the dance party!â
