Adeline''s heart twinged painfully, for she had never heard such impassivenessing from Isaac.
At that, she shook her head. "That''s not what I mean, Isaac! She said it herself. She said it''s an off-the-
rack ne!"
Her voice became somewhat hoarse, and a hint of a sob could be heard inteced.
Isaac snorted disdainfully in response. "And you believe her just because she said so? What terrible
taste you have."
That said, he had no intention of revealing the ne was worth 150 million. Instead, he snorted
derisively as he put an arm around Patricia. "Let''s go."
His ''let''s go'' was soforting that everyone thought the infuriated man two from two seconds ago
was someone else entirely. Hisst two words were beyond gentle, and the voice was so melodious
that it melted people''s hearts.
After the couple was a distance away, Isaac pinched Patricia''s thin waist, chiding, "What were you
doing, running around?!"
She was gone the second he wasn''t looking! He even had his men looking for her along with him. But
who''d have thought the girl went to the bar while he was searching high and low on the dance floor?!
"Stay where you are the next time you get lost, understand?!"

Patricia chuckled in response. She had said the same thing to little Sylvie countless times precisely
because she feared not being able to locate her when she got lost, and now that he was doing this to
her, she knew just how fearful he had been.
With that, she wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest, all smiles as she
sniffed his crisp perfume. "Understood."
Despite having initially wanted to throw a baby tantrum at him, every bit of her anger was gone now,
and she felt safe in his arms.
A hint of a smile, too,ced Isaac''s eyes at this point, and he requested while stroking her back,
"Dance with me."
With that, the two bowed to each other hand in hand, then slid into the dance floor.
It had been forever since Patricia did this type of dance, and she had thought she would make
mistakes, but with a great dance partner like Isaac, her worries seemed to be for nothing.
Just like that, the two became the main attraction on the dance floor, and Nik turned to the young girl
in his arms with a smile. "How about we dance too, Baby?"
Seeing how sweet Isaac and Patricia were when they danced had gotten him envious.
"Sure, Paps." Tori nodded. "C''mon, show me what you''ve got!"
That was how Tori was, and the reason Nik took an interest in her was that he thought she was
unique—a fiery little one. Tori was the Leighs'' little princess. As her entire family spoiled her, she
developed a bratty personality.
In the blink of an eye, Nik and Tori hit the dance floor, and the two danced pretty well too.
When they passed by Isaac and Patricia, Nikmented, "Nice moves, Ise."
The dude would never dance in front of anybody in the past, and if he was forced, he would just dance
to one song perfunctorily. When had he ever turned and spun around like this before?!
Nik even wanted to give him a thumb''s up.
"You''re not bad yourself,"mented Isaac as he nced at his best friend.
Tori couldn''t help bursting intoughter. "Mr. Arnold sure is quite the character, Paps. He doesn''t give a
thing about this at all."
Patricia, too, giggled, and when she saw the smile on Nik''s face gradually fade away, sheughed
even brighter. "Haha, you''re really terrible, Mr. Arnold. Judging from Mr. Ortega''s face, I have a feeling
he''ll step on his partner''s foot because of what you said."
As if on cue, Tori cried out, "Ouch! You stepped on my foot, Paps."
Nik came to himself at once, and he pursed his lips for a second before apologizing, "I''m sorry,
Princess! Why don''t I carry you upstairs to rest?"
The lounges upstairs were for guests, and it was evident why he wanted to take her there. Thus, she
turned him down at once. "No. You said it yourself, you won''t touch me before I''m a legal adult, and I''m
still yet to celebrate my 18th birthday, in case you''ve forgotten."
