To the Love of My Life

Chapter 212: 212: Mysterious Female Lead (6)

Steve slowly reached out and held her hand.

This was their first time holding hands. The sensation made her feel as if her heart would leap out of her throat any moment.

Just like Cinderella, dressed in a grand gown at midnight and dancing with her prince, she was dancing gracefully with the man she had yearned for all these years, under the envious gazes of the crowd.

The music lasted for three minutes and forty seconds.

During this time, Olivia felt it was the most wonderful moment of her life.

She patiently savored every single second of those three minutes and forty seconds.

Following Steve’s steps, she danced gracefully and lightly, feeling not only her heart but her entire being soar.

As the music ended, Steve and Olivia stopped along with it.

A passionate round of applause erupted from the audience.

Steve and Olivia waited for the applause to subside before letting go of each other.

Steve nodded politely at the audience, then made a gentlemanly gesture for Olivia to leave the stage first. Only after she had left did he step down unhurriedly.

After the opening dance, the banquet’s toasting segment commenced.

Many people had already paired up and started dancing on the dance floor.

Upon stepping off the stage, Olivia was immediately surrounded by her well-acquainted socialite friends. They looked at her enviously, and tirelessly inquired about her feelings while dancing with Steve.

Last time at the company, after her conflict with Ruby and being reprimanded by Steve, Olivia thought that Steve truly despised her.

However now, Steve surprisingly offered her the chance to dance the important opening dance with him, dispelling any lingering doubts in her heart. In exchange, she realized that deep down, Steve held some feelings for her.

Olivia’s spirits soared. While secretly basking in the attention from her socialite friends, she discreetly scanned the crowd for Steve.

What Ruby worried about, Steve had also considered.

No one knew that as he held the microphone and announced Olivia’s name, the name that echoed in his heart simultaneously was: Ruby Gregory.

Even though he yearned to dance a splendid waltz with Ruby to celebrate his kingdom’s banquet, he did not wish to bring trouble to her after the dance.

Because, he knew his mother well.

If he were to dance with any woman other than Olivia tonight, his mom would suspect that woman to be the one he had been with on the viewing platform..
