Aveline looked at her. “I want you to take back what you said.”
Selena shook Aveline’s arm, pleading, “Ave, please, come on, please…”
Aveline couldn’t resist Selena’s pleading, and her heart softened. ” Alright.”
Selena beamed with joy and turned to Russell. “When does it start?”
Russell replied, “No rush, I’ll come find you in a bit. You two enjoy yourselves for now.”
With that, he turned and left.
Selena and Aveline sat in the best seats, and the waiter began bringing over drinks and fruit platters.
Aveline held her glass, looking at the brightly colored drink inside. ” I suddenly regret this.”
Wasn’t this just asking for trouble?
She already had enough problems, and if she got Russell involved, things could get even messier.
Selena said, “Ave, you’re overthinking it. It’s just a dance. When was the last time you danced?”
Aveline sighed. “I’m not up to it anymore, I’m too old for this.”
Selena laughed. “Just do it to make me happy.”
Aveline gave her a resigned look. “It’s too late to back out now.
Selena smile. dely, raising her glass for a toast.

“It’s me,” Russell’s amused voice came through as he led her onto
the stage.
“Aveline, focus on dancing.”
Russell placed one hand on her waist.
Aveline tensed up for a moment but soon forced herself to relax.
How long had it been since she danced?
She had been so busy that she had abandoned her hobbies.
Now, with Lucas tormenting her in every possible way, she felt like her life was no longer her own. What else was there to care about?
The image of Lucas defending Sophia flashed through her mind, causing a dull ache in her chest. But she quickly adjusted her emotions, a smile appearing on her face.
“Alright.” She agreed.
The music started to play.
Her eyes lit up; it was a song she had danced to before, and she remembered it well.
The crowd went wild when they saw Russell on stage, especially the girls, who screamed non–stop!
The song’s rhythm was fast and powerful, and Aveline quickly matched Russell’s steps, even seeming to surpass him at times.
At that morient, a group of people entered the bar.

you always want to go home?”
Lucas walked beside him, his expression cold and indifferent, ignoring Aaron’s comments.
Aaron glanced at the bustling bar and clicked his tongue. “What a great atmosphere! Those two dancing over there are pretty good, especially the guy. The way he looks at the girl, you can almost see the sparks.”
Lucas instinctively looked at the stage. Seeing the two dancers, his face immediately darkened.
At that moment, the song reached its final beats. Russell held Aveline by the waist, and Aveline dramatically tossed her head back, her arm hooking around Russell’s neck. Their eyes locked, and an indescribable emotion passed between them.
“Wow!”
The crowd erupted into cheers.
Aaron patted Lucas on the arm. “Those two are great together. They have real chemistry. What do you think about signing them? They’d be a hit in no time.”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
