The main purpose of Kilo’s birthday party was to give everyone a great joyful evening, without any les
restricting the guests.
“Okay, it’s time to party! Let’s dance,” Kylo said excitedly, and the music red from the speakers.
This signaled the start of the annual birthday party = Kylo always gave a speech first, followed by the
opening dance.
“I have a special idea to do something
different this year.” Kylo was a really fun person, who always liked to do what he wanted.
Everyone leaned forward as they looked at him expectantly – they were all waiting with bated breath for
his idea.
“I won’t participate in the opening dance, this year. I want to give the chance to my favorite eldest
grandson, the young master of the Carter family – Lance!” Kylo announced happily. After Mrs. Carter’s
death, Kylo woda always dance with his daughter alhe birthday party. But this year, 1 giving the
opportunity to his grand on, Lance, was a gesture beyond what the mere opening dance would mean.
The meaning behind it was clear to all.
Half of the people in the crowd were surprised by it, but the other half had expected it.
As the eldest grandson of the Carter family and the sessor of the Carter Group. Lance was now the
leading male person in the family. As a young, eligible bachelor, it was his time to get married.
It now made sense that although it was
Kylo’s birthday party. it was the perfect opportunity to select a suitable partner for Lance. It was a
matchmaking party! Only for the parents who had daughters of a manageable age, of course.
Lance was the young master of the big Carter family. who were not the wealthiest, but were immensely
popr and highly-respected in Antawood. It was very honorable to marry into the Carter family, and
the girl was sull-to lead afortable and rich life
More importantly, Lance Oas very handsome
welworld.
He was powerful, with charming looks, making him a highl-sought after boy.
Hence, many gills grabbed their chance and took the initiative to stand up ande to the limelight as
soon as Kylo made his announcement. Some came forward of their own ord and others who were
unwilling were pushed by their parents. The elders automatically took a step back
And just like that, the opening dance turned into a matchmaking ceremony, or
rather, a concubine ceremony, as though he would many who he chose tonight.
Moreover, Lance didn’t have any femalepanions tonight, so the position was open to all. They
stood excitedly as they anticipated being picked.
All the girls were shy but they didn’t want to lose to any of the other eligible women. Everyone wanted
to be the most beautifuldy, and they instantly fell for Lance, at first sight.
The only regrets they had were that they did not dress sexily enough – if only they had known tonight
would be a matchmaking event for Dance, they would’ve worked hardeblo look more attractive!

“Grandpa, I don’t Nink it’s a good idea … I don’t have a partner.” Lance couldn’t bear the sudden
pressure of the situation
He didn’t have a dancing partner, so he hadn‘t nned on dancing at all. He also ruled Gabrielle out
because she didn’t like dancing, more so in front of so many people.
In fact, Gabrielle had never danced in
front of him before, so Lance was not sure whether she knew how to dance on not.
Now his grandfather suddenly thrust such a big task onto him – this turned out to be a major problem
for Lance.
“I know you didn’t have a partner, so I decided to give you this opportunity. so you can choose one for
yourself. See? Look at all the girls who want to be you partner – they all seem to stand a especially the
women in the front ow, who are quite excellent. You can choose and invite anyone you like.”
K was in a very cheery mood as he nced at the TOWs of girls waiting to becked.
Sure enough, his Lapu was very popr.
All he needed o was say one word and many pretty girls followed suit. Lance had always said he was
too busy to find a girlfriend, and Kylo had been impatient to have a grandson, an heir, so he used this
grand birthday party as an excuse to find him a girlfriend.
Lance knew what was on Kylo’s mind, and he thought it was a major blow. He was infuriated that he
didn’t have a choice in the situation, or even a chance
to escape!
Now that Kylo had announced it to everyone 50 publicly, he was in a dilemma; he couldn’t worm his
way out of this. His only option was to dance.
Lance nced at the rows of the girls who were waiting to be picked, until his eyes fell upon Gabrielle,
who was sitting with Miley.
Gabrielle had not seemed to be interested in this turn of events.nere Lance was appointed to do the
opening dance. She sat by Miley fili, ly, serving her with tea and fruit. SV “Gabrielle, your cr?in is really
handsome. I think many girls admire him.” Miley nce at the dancing pool and shared Set Might-
hearted gossip.
Gabrielle was amused by Miley. She peeled an orange for her and tried one piece, before deeming it
sweet enough and handing it to her. “Here, Grandma, this sweet orange is for you. And yes, my cousin
is excellent. He has been doing well since he was a child and as you can see, he is very good-looking.
He is quite the popr choice among girls, night from his childhood.
Gabrielle reminisced on Lance’s consistently impressive record all his life. He was great throughout
primary and middle school, which added to his poprity and excellence as a junior.
Miley took the orange from Gabrielle and bit into it. “It’s very sweet – because it’s peeled by you,
Gabrielle.”
“I’m d you like it. I’ll peel a sweeter one for youter.” Gabrielle was vec happy to sit by Miley and
apaper; she was not in the mood to Vance anyway. More importantly, she was not very good at
ballroom dancing. She didn’t want to humiliateNierself if she ended up making a foodout of herself. “I
wonder which ly your cousin will choose tonighoiley was such a gossip!
“Grandpa suddenly sprang this on him, plus there are so many young and prettydies here. I don’t
think he’s the type of person to pick one and offend the others. He probably would pick his cousin sister
or something. Grandpa didn’t tell him to choose ady, did he?” Gabrielle said, knowing Lance well.
“Gabrielle, I think maybe he will pick you, as you’re his cousin sister?” Miley
suggested. Lance began to stride towards them, turning all the heads of those present as he walked
Miley’s words seemed toe from a knowing ce, because why else would Lance walk towards
them? People around them were all elders – Gabrielle was the only young person there. Who else
would hee to?’
Gabrielle raised her head and looked in his direction. As expected, Lance, dress in a ck suit, was
walking towards His eyes met hers as he smiled at he
Damn it!
Really? Is Lance trying Nuse me as a shield or an excuse ton pick any of the others?’
After Mindy had changed out of her dress, she and Cherie had stood close to Lance, waiting to get
picked.
Cherie had been really looking forward to this moment. When she found out that Lance was propped
up as the center of attention for today’s opening dance, she was sure she would be picked as his
dancing partner. She wanted to feel like the princess of the ball! She was sure
Lance would pick her – they had, after all, grown up together and were quite familiar with each other.
Who else would he pick?
But Cherie’s heart began to tug and a lump formed in her throat when she saw Lance walk slowly
towards Gabrielle.
