Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 738

One of Gary’s close friends was a famous planist. He was among the guests. He was drunk and got into the mood for some music. So, he

opened the cover of the grand piano and began playing. His lingers danced across the keys.

The chatter of the people stopped all of a sudden

Everyone tumed to look at the planist, who had a drunk smile on his face.

He said. “The next song is for today’s star–the beautiful Ms. Larissa Seymour!”

Larissa hurriedly put down the wine glass in her hand as she straightened up. She nodded a Ule at the pianist with the crowd between

them

The pianist’s fingers landed on the keys again. Beautiful music filled the spacious hall

Guests with female partners began to dance, and the others joined in. Even Mike held out his hand to Larissa

“May I have the honor of dancing with you. Ms. Larissa?”

He bowed with a hand behind his back. His manners were perfect. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Larissa did not want to have close contact with men, but she could not refuse him in front of everyone. After a moment of hesitation, she

put her hand into his palm.

Mike held her hand and led her to the middle of the dance floor.

Larissa was the star of tonight’s banquet as well as the song. The crowd parted for them and let them have the center spot of the hall

Larissa did not know how to dance. She never learned how to do it. So, she could only listen to Mike’s instructions and move as he told

her to.

His arm was wrapped around her waist and his head was close to her ear. He was muttering, “Left– right–left–right–spin-”

Larissa’s head was down as she concentrated on memorizing the dance steps. She did not notice how intimate their current positions were at all

Once the song ended, the crowd sumounded them.

“Ms. Seymour dances so well”

“It was such a beautiful treat to watch Ms. Seymour dance!”

Ms. Seymour is indeed born of high status. She has the airs of a perfect socialiter

Larissa forced herself to accept their fake flattery. Just saying “Thank you” alone was enough.

Larissa thought she could end this nonsense when someone threw out a “Mike and Ms. Seymour look like the perfect couple!

The crowd was successfully led on. They began to agree and echo the thought. They began praising Larissa and Mike for being such a sweet couple.”

“Ms. Seymour and Mike are a perfect match indeed. How enviable!”

“The way Mike held Ms. Seymour when they were dancing was like a prince holding a princess! It’s so beautiful!”

“That’s right Too bad I didn’t record ill

Previously, Larissa was still able to handle It. But it was a huge misunderstanding now. Her mind was in a mess. She did not know how to begin explaining.

She turned to Mike with a pleading look in her eyes, but he only shrugged. He had the same pained smile on his lace as she did.

“What’s everyone talking about?

”

Larissa could hear it even through the thick wal of prople.

She was started as she stared right in the direction where the voice came from. The crowd tumed to look too. When they saw who it was,

they looked surprised and happy.

“Mr. Rogers?
