Morwenna blushed and hurriedly rested her hand on Stuart''s shoulder.


    Greta frowned slightly, puzzled.


    What was Stuart thinking?


    Tonight''s opening dance was supposed to be just for the two of them. Why would Stuart change his


    mind because of this unexpected woman?


    The DJ hesitated to start the music.

    With a brief, indifferent nce from Stuart, the music immediately filled the air.


    As Morwenna started to move, she identally stepped on Stuart’s foot.


    Blushing, she stammered, “Oh, I’m so sorry, I’m just really nervous.”


    Stuart said nothing.


    A momentter, Morwenna stepped on his foot again.


    On the brink of tears, Morwenna said, “Stuart, believe me, I really have practiced. I was the best in


    our vige…”


    With a gentle spin, Stuart’s cool, mature voice whispered in her ear, “Morwenna, be smarter from


    now on. Don’t just believe everything people tell you.”


    Morwenna, not fully understanding what Stuart meant, simply nodded in agreement, “Okay.”


    The dance ended.


    Stuart let go of her, saying calmly, “Go back and sit down; I have some business to discuss.”


    Morwenna obediently returned to her seat.


    She didn’t bother with sunsses this time; Stuart knew she was there anyway.


    She grabbed the juice she hadn''t finished before and kept sipping on it.


    Finally, Bary couldn’t help but whisper, “Morwenna, you actually dared to dere your feelings for


    Stuart publicly?”


    Confused, Morwenna asked, “Why shouldn’t I? Is it wrong to like Stuart?”


    Bary paused, realizing, indeed, no one had said it was wrong to like Stuart.


    But after seeing Stuart''s cunning tactics, aside from Adide, in Rosefrost Hollow, no one dared to


    openly admit their feelings for him. Even Adide had always been subtle, only recently causing a


    stir by dering her feelings.


    Morwenna thought these people were all misguided.


    If you like someone, you should pursue them. Even if you fail, at least you tried; there’s no regret in


    that.


    And don''t leave yourself wondering ''what if'' just because you were too chicken to say anything.


    People from her vige were straightforward; they never beat around the bush.


    Ignoring Bary, Morwenna watched as Stuart and Greta stepped aside to talk.


    Stuart and Greta stood together, both exuding strong presences, looking remarkably well-matched.


    Greta had regained herposure. “Stuart, your action today might make my father reconsider his


    decisions. You know how much he values appearances. We had agreed to maintain a facade of a


    good rtionship regardless of our personal feelings.”


    Stuart, usually so free-spirited, rarely apologized, but he did, “Sorry, today was an ident.


    Regarding the partnership, if your family wishes to move forward, I’ll offer an additional ten percent.”


    Stuart had no dislike for Greta, even admired her somewhat.


    Today, having embarrassed her publicly, it was only right to offerpensation.


    Greta raised an eyebrow. Stuart was ruthless in business, never giving ground easily. To get a


    concession from him was tougher than scaling the heavens. Yet here he was, offering an extra ten


    percent willingly.


    Considering the scale of their deal, ten percent amounted to a staggering five hundred million.


    Looking over at Morwenna, Greta finally asked, “Stuart, that girl who appeared out of nowhere, is


    she someone you fancy?”


    Stuart responded calmly, “Not really, just a bit special.”


    “Oh? Just special?”


    For just one dance, he lost at least five hundred million.


    Morwenna was oblivious to the trouble her presence had caused Stuart.
