Chapter 159 He was being foolish again
Joey worked up the courage to talk to Philip for several times, but she didn’t know where to start after
what she had gone through at the party.
She got up and was about to leave in silence.
Just then, she heard Philip’s disappointed voice, “Don't you have anything to say to me?”
Joey stopped and turned around to look at Philip, “What do you expect me to say?”
Philip was suddenly frustrated, “Aren’t you curious about why I’ve become Martha’s boyfriend?”
Joey, in a trance, thought she should have asked the question, “Why?”
It was a heartbreaking question. Philip was hurt by her ignorance.
“Nothing. Just…for fun.”
Philip suddenly didn’t want to tell her the real reason, because she wouldn’t care about it after all.
He was totally unaware that Joey hated the word “fun” most. For Mrs. Charles, Allen had been playing
a game with Joey. Now Philip was having fun with Martha. The implication of the word was annoying
for her.
“Have as much fun as you’d like. I’m interested.”
Joey glared at Philip and turned around to leave. She started to look for Allen in the crowd.
Watching Joey leave angrily, Philip emptied his glass in one gulp. He was restless and agitated.
He had become Martha’s boyfriend for Joey.
The trip to Thailand had taught him that the relationship between Joey and Allen Charles was too
strong to sabotage. He knew how much Joey had been in love with Allen Charles, which was
heartbreaking and frustrating for him. His determination “not to give up on Joey as long as she’s not
married” seemed ridiculous now.
He wasn't as determined as before.
However, as he had done back in college, he was being foolish again.
He had decided to date Sarah just because she was Joey’s best friend in college. He had thought that
he would be able to see Joey often as Sarah’s boyfriend. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
This time, he had decided to date Martha just because she was Allen’s sister, which would bring Joey
closer to him again.
The only difference was that Sarah hadn’t known his true intention back in college, while Martha knew
it very well.
He had told Martha the truth from the very beginning.
It seemed that Martha, for some reason, needed a boyfriend like Philip who wouldn’t want to take
advantage of her.
He had made a deal with Martha.
However, he was too embarrassed to tell Joey about it. Moreover, he was afraid that Joey wouldn’t be
interested to know it. He smiled self-mockingly.
Just then, music started to play and the guests invited their partners for ballroom dancing.
“My fair lady, may I have the honor of dancing with you?”
Allen suddenly extended his right hand to her and asked her for a dance.
Joey, who had been upset, was amused by Allen’s serious politeness and blushed. She nodded and
gave him her right hand.
They danced to the music.
Allen was wearing all black while Joey was wearing all white.
Allen was handsome and elegant, while Joey was beautiful and gentle. Their dance moves were
delightful and amazing.
They gradually became the center of everyone’s attention at the party, including Philip, Chance and
Martin.
“Baby, I didn’t know you’re such a good dancer. Look, they are watching you.”
Allen was surprised too. As a trained dancer since an early age, his excellent dancing skills were
expected. But Joey was even a better dancer than him. What a nice surprise!
No one knew that dancing had always been Joey’s biggest hobby since she was a little girl. Having not
received any professional training in dancing, she had been a self-taught enthusiastic dancer who had
become a well-known amateur dancer on campus. She was enjoying herself very much dancing with
Allen at the party. Allen’s compliment in her ear startled her and she suddenly found that all the other
guests had stopped dancing and gathered around her. They surrounded Allen and her, and watched
them with admiration.
