Chapter 135 Dance
Chapter 135 Dance
The party continued, occasionally Sarah flashed a professional smile when a guest came over to Michael.
Luckily, Michael kept his word, and said Sarah was his partner tonight.
He didn't explain more, just said partner, which made Sarah happy about it, because that meant people wouldn't know that she was Michael's wife, or that she was his ex wife.
But on the other hand she also felt a little sad when Michael said she was just a partner. However, Sarah immediately threw the bad thoughts away. This is the right decision!
Many people who came and wanted to talk to Michael made Sarah finally realize that the current Michael had turned out to be someone important.
He was not like Michael when he was married to her. He has become a successful person. Sarah still couldn't get used to that fact.
Sarah was a little suspicious as Michael seemed to be not awkward when talking with the people, as if he knew them and Sarah couldn't help but ask.
"Do you know them?" Sarah asked, looking at Michael curiously as the guest who had just left.
Michael shook his head.
"No. I'm just replying to what they said even though I don't know who they are," Michael replied smiling.
He himself thought it was a ludicrous situation, but this was the only way he had survived so that people wouldn't suspect that he actually had amnesia.
People's attention was then distracted when the groom tapped the glass he was holding with a spoon, making a loud, attention-grabbing sound.
"Once again, thanks to all the invited guests for coming. Let's have a toast to all of us!" said the groom and raised his glass, followed by the other guests.
After the toast, the latest romantic music began to play, and the emcee stirred the atmosphere by saying they were going to see the bride and groom's first dance.
Slowly, the cheers of the guests began to be heard when they saw the newlywed dancing passionately.
One of them is at a table that is two rows in front. A man can be seen shouting excitedly, as if he wants to encourage his friend while holding his cellphone in one hand to record it.
"You seem happy to see Dinda. Did nothing happen between you?" asked the woman sitting beside him. Her face was full of curiosity.
The blonde haired man turned his head, saw a woman wearing a pastel dress, then smiled.
"We're just friends," the blonde man replied.
The woman smiled at the man's smile. He's really handsome!
"Then… Can I also be your friend? I'm Jane!" said Jane then stretched out her hand and looked at Steve while biting her lower lip, bringing out the charm she had.
Steve smiled when he saw the woman who openly flirted him like this. He knew that this woman was Dinda's bridesmaids. It seems the woman was attracted to him when she saw him earlier?
Well ... his face is handsome, and this has become a common thing for Steve.
"I'm Steve," Steve replied, accepting the outstretched hand.
Jane then took the opportunity to hold Steve's hand and squeezed it slightly while looking at him with a big smile on her face.
Steve chuckled at how confident this woman was. She didn't even hesitate to point out that she was indeed flirting with him.
"You have good hands, I heard you are a doctor" Jane said then looked at Steve's hand which was held by her.
"Thank you, you have soft hands too. Yes, I'm a doctor, although still a resident," Steve replied with a smile.
He initially thought that he would immediately leave after eating and see how his friend's wedding dance was, but suddenly a woman came up to him, and tried to flirt with him.
Steve was happy about it. It had been a long time since the last time a woman had flirted with him, and frankly, it felt good.
What man would refuse when he was being flirted with by a beautiful woman? Well, he was single, so he would see how far this woman would flirt with him and back off when it got too far.
At least tonight he wasn't too alone and the woman in front of him also knew how to present herself and carry on a conversation.
"Do you want to dance?" Jane asked suddenly when she realized it was dance time when she saw another couple had come up and danced there.
Steve then turned to the dance hall when he heard that. The first dance has ended? He didn't record everything!
However, suddenly Steve's facial expression immediately changed when he saw a man and woman wearing a red dress dancing romantically there.
He initially thought he was just seeing it wrong because the woman from behind looked a lot like the woman he knew, but when she turned to face him. It was a woman he knew!
Suddenly, Steve felt his throat feel dry. Something inside him was burning!
He had heard the woman's excuse, but he didn't like it at all when he saw her being hugged by another man.
"Where are you going?" Jane asked when she saw that Steve had stood up with a look on his face that looked… upset?
p
He… didn't want to be in there any longer!

The woman in the gold dress who was sitting at the back, immediately joined the women wearing pastel dresses as soon as they saw her.
"I thought you really wouldn't come, Anna," said one woman wearing a pastel dress, looking at the woman in the gold dress with a smile. There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"This is Dinda's wedding, of course I will come. I have an important job earlier so I can't be the bridesmaid," Anna replied, smiling with a friendly smile.
"Oh yeah, Mary, isn't Jane around? I didn't see her," Anna continued, trying to change the subject so they wouldn't focus on her.
Mary, who was sipping the glass of drink in her hand, immediately lowered her hand and turned to Anna.
"She was trying to get close to a man. Dinda has a handsome male friend, and she seems to like him," replied Mary and then returned to drinking her drink.
The conversation between the four women was cut short when they heard that it was time to see the bride and groom's first dance. The four women then immediately came forward, to take a closer look.
The four women then looked excited when they saw their friend doing her first dance, they didn't stop cheering at their friend's dance which seemed too intimate.
After finishing dancing, Dinda immediately approached her friends when she saw Anna who came with them. She immediately opened her arms wide and embraced the woman. They then talked.
"Eh, isn't that Michael?"
Suddenly, one of them said, causing the other four women who were talking to immediately turn their heads towards him.
"What do you mean? Michael who?" asked one of them.
"Michael Collins. Look! He's dancing with a woman in a red dress!"
When they heard this, everyone immediately looked in the direction their friend was referring to. It didn't take them long to find the person in question because on the dance floor there were only three couples, and only one was wearing a red dress.
Anna's eyes immediately fell on one of Michael's hands that was placed on a woman's hip and pulled her into his arms, as if not wanting to put any distance between the two of them.
Her lips suddenly felt dry, and she swallowed hard. Her eyes were constantly watching Michael's every move, every expression on his face that was looking at the woman in the red dress with a gaze full of love.
She should be the one in his arms. The one to be hugged by Michael and invited to dance by him.
When she got the news that Dinda was getting married, Anna did plan to invite Michael. Even though they couldn't come together because she would later become Dinda's bridesmaid, at least she could be with Michael at this party.
But who would have thought that the man she was going to invite would actually be married and currently dancing with his wife?
"Are you okay?" Mary who was beside Anna immediately whispered, her voice sounded worried.
The question from Mary made Anna immediately come back to her senses, she immediately turned around and forced a smile on Mary. She hoped that her smile wouldn't look pathetic this time.
"Of course! Why should I not be okay? I am happy! One of my friends is married!" Anna answered, trying to sound cheerful.
The four women were silent when they heard what Anna said.
"I'm sorry, Anna. Looks like my dad invited Michael. Our family has been doing business with Collins for a long time," said Dinda feeling bad. Since she had not seen Michael, she did not expect the man to come.
"Hey! It doesn't matter! Why must you feel bad for me? I'm fine! After all, why are you looking at me as if I'm the one who was dumped by him? I'm the one who dumped him! Not the other way around!" said Anna, sounding annoyed when she saw the pitying looks from her friends.
"Oh right, Dinda! I forgot I still have work, so I'll go first! Once again, congratulations on your marriage!" Anna replied with a smile and then immediately left her friends.
Since earlier, the corner of her eyes kept staring in the same direction, she couldn't take her eyes off the dancing couple.
It made her heart ache so much.
She'd better get out of here, before the tears she was trying to hold back finally came out.
