Furthermore, those people are always stealing glances at her. Just look if you want to; why the need to act so
sneakily? Sophia sneered silently.
Turning to Logan, Dylan said, “I met your dad earlier and he seems to be looking for you, but I don’t know why.”
Logan nodded in acknowledgement. Prior to this, his father made it clear that he would be introducing some
important figures to him on this day, and he even reminded him to go over to his table to offer a toast during
mealtime. However, Logan couldn’t be bothered to go over. So, it was only expected that he would be looking for
him now, either to introduce all kinds of people to him, or to give him a lecture.
The former seems like a bigger possibility, he thought.
Glancing at Logan, Sophia suggested, “Why don’t you look for him to check it out? I hope it’s not something
important.”
In such matters, even if it was unimportant to Logan, it was most probably imperative to his father. Thus, after
contemplation, he stood up to leave. “I’ll check it out to see if it’s really anything important. Both of you stay here
and don’t go anywhere. I’m coming back soon.”
After hearing Sophia’s ‘mm hmm’ as a reply, he then left briskly.
“You came together with Logan?” Dylan asked Sophia.
Sophia nodded and then felt a little conflicted. “Actually, I’m regretting it now because it’s really boring here.”
Understanding what she meant, he uttered, “I’m regretting it as well. I wanted to leave earlier, but felt that it
seemed a little impolite.”

Dylan cracked up. “I think we have similar opinions on some issues, Miss Gwendolyn.”
“Yeah, I think so, too,” she said in agreement.

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 slapped her 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.
