Meanwhile, on the dance floor, Isabelle started a conversation with John. “I wonder if I said the right
things in the media interview earlier.”
John hesitated before assuring her, “I think you did well. Your reaction was quick.”
Giggling, she unconsciously inched closer to him, but it was a barely noticeable distance. “I don’t really
know how to handle the media actually, but at that time, I thought that some misunderstandings from
before could be resolved if I just explained things a little.”
“Hmm,” John mumbled and didn’t say anything else.
After a short pause, Isabelle tried again. “Previously, I wanted to go to your company to discuss a detail
in the new supply contract. In the end, I scrapped the idea because of the incident on the Internet. I
was afraid that it might cause you trouble.” “Oh, really?” he replied curtly and perfunctorily.
Pursing her lips, Isabelle decided not to say anything anymore.
When the song ended, John moved over to where the seats were and grabbed a juice, scanning
around for Sophia and Logan. Sweeping his eyes over at the dance floor, he couldn’t find them there as
well.
Looks like they went outside.
Catching up next to him, Isabelle complimented, “Mrs. Constance told me that you dance well. Looks
like she’s right.”
“She told me about you as well. You dance very well too,” he said with a smile.
Isabelle took a seat and lamented, “I learned it when I was young because my family forced me to. Not
only that, I had to learn everything and I kinda hated it. Looking back now, it seems like I never stopped
learning when I was younger.”
This caught John by surprise. “I thought you liked it.”
On the surface, it seemed like she really enjoyed such a life, but she shook her head. “I don’t like it at
all because it’s too constraining.”
Suddenly, she recalled that day when John went to her house to cancel the engagement and she
chased after him to find out why. At that time, her family had stopped her and her mom even slappedher out of anger, saying that she was humiliating her family with her actions.
Having the engagement annulled was already an embarrassing thing, and yet, she added on to the
embarrassment by acting so reluctant to let go.
