“Oh, it seems like everyone would like to see Megan and Jonas do an opening dance!”
“Yes!” everyone chorused.
Megan had turned redder than ever as she glanced awkwardly at Jonas who was already smiling and standing up. This is too embarrassing!! really don't know how to dance at alHWhat would someone like me know about something as refined as dancing?
“Come on, Megan!” Steven saw her hesitation and could not help but give her a little nudge.
However, Megan was as unmovable as a statue.
She looked up and met Steven's enthusiastic eyes before saying awkwardly, “Mr. Hayes, I really can't dance at all. Could you get someone
else, please?”
Megan still remembered her promise to Jonas. She was to reject all invitations to dance at this party, and still have one dance with him.
However, she still rejected it. She could do any dance with him but not the opening dance.
After all, there would be so many eyes on her. If she danced badly, not only would others laugh at her, he would be embarrassed too.
Steven looked at Megan and he could tell that she was speaking the truth. He then recalled how Felix had told him that Megan was a young girl from a farming village. Hence, it would be normal for her to not know how to dance.
Steven did not want to put her in the spot either, so he immediately nodded by way of releasing her.
However, Jonas did not want to let her go, and this was clearly shown through the dark clouds that engulfed his face.
He said in a low voice, “If she is not dancing, I'm not dancing either.”
Clearly, Jonas assumed that Megan had gone back on her word. He was normally cheery but now he looked furious. Everyone was astounded by the change in his behavior. More shockingly, there was no attempt on Jonas's part to hide his anger.
In everybody's eyes, this alone was the evidence that they were really in a relationship.
