Love Contract novel Chapter 123

"Okay." Lucas turned his head slightly and said, "You go eat something first."

After nodding to them, Mary turned around and left elegantly. Lucas watched her go.

The hall was as warm as spring. A waiter passed by and Mary took a glass of cocktail with a smile.

She walked slowly to the food area and looked at the variety of food. Her stomach rumbled at the sight of the delicious array of food.

Mary took a plate and tasted it one by one. She felt comfortable and at ease.

"Miss, may I invite you to dance?"

Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind.

Mary turned around immediately and swallowed the food in her mouth. "I'm sorry, I don't know how to dance."

"It doesn't matter. We can have a chat."

"Well..." Mary was a little embarrassed.

Not far away, Lucas was chatting with the president of the hospital and others. However, his eyes were fixed on Mary. At this moment, several men had passed by and accosted her which made him a little unhappy.

"Ha ha," said the president of the hospital with a smile. "Look, Lucas's eyes are almost glued to Mary!"

"Ha ha. Dr. Zhao, please don't make fun of Lucas. He must be very anxious!"

"Yes, we can talk about the hospital later. We shouldn't delay Lucas!"

In front of the elders, Lucas's face turned red.

"Go ahead," said the president of the hospital with a smile. "Don't give the opportunity of the first dance to others!"

"Then I'll go, Uncle Zhao." As soon as Lucas finished his words, he left happily, leaving a group of people laughing.

Mary finally got rid of the men's invitation and made herself busy with the delicious food again.

"Miss, may I have the honor to invite you to dance?"

Again...

Mary put down the plate and turned around. "I'm sorry..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Lucas smiling. Surprised, she said, "Oh, it's you!" "What?" Lucas said with a smile, "Did you think I was some random man who accosted you again?"

"Humph..." With an embarrassed smile, Mary said, "You saw it. I'm a little embarrassed."

"It means you are charming."

"You're the one who bought the good clothes." Mary smiled.

While the two were chatting, the main light in the hall suddenly dimmed, leaving only a few colorful beams of light sweeping around the hall.

"Everybody! It's dancing time!" Accompanied by the dynamic dance music, the host's voice resonated in the hall.

"Oh!" "Finally!" "I've been waiting for this!"

"Yes!"

"Wow!"

The crowd burst into cheers, and everyone joined the dance.

"Ha ha!" Affected by the atmosphere, Mary smiled brightly.

Standing beside her, Lucas gazed at her with a gentle smile.

After a while, the cheerful song was replaced by the melodious sound of violins. Men and women in the hall automatically held hands and slow danced.

"Mary, may I have the honor to dance with you?"

Lucas said, bending slightly, stretching out his right hand and making a gesture of "please".

"My pleasure." With a smile, Mary offered her left hand.

Lucas held her hand and lifted it to his lips.

Before she could react, he had already pulled her in the middle of the crowd.

Lucas then put his right hand on Mary's waist gently. The two slow danced to the melodious music.

Under the dim light, Mary's pale face looked a little hazy but she was still outstanding.

Her soft breath inadvertently slapped Lucas's face, which made Lucas's body stiff.

"Don't you talk when you dance?" Mary asked with a smile.

"What?" Lucas came to his senses at once. "Ahem. No, no."

"Ha ha." Mary lowered her head and smiled.

Lucas could clearly smell her perfume and his heart pounded wildly. "You dance well," said Lucas.

"I learned a little before." Mary smiled shyly.

"Oh? Let's make a circle." Lucas raised his eyebrows and raised his arm gently.

With a smile, Mary held his hand and spun around in front of him gracefully.
