Chapter 345 Embarrass Me As You Like
Cherise was astonished. “Is this a… small stage?”
It was clearly larger than the theater at her school!
Her school’s orientation stage couldn’t compare to this one!
Cherise felt terrified at the thought of dancing in front of so many people on such a grand
stage.
Damien held her hand. “Are
you afraid?”
Cherise nodded. “It’s my first time…”
As she spoke, she looked up at Damien with worry. “Will I
embarrass you?”
Damien held her hand and gently kissed her forehead. “Embarrass me as much as you want. I’m not afraid.”
Cherise’s chest tightened silently.
She pursed her lips. “Honey… Am I very inadequate…”
Cherise felt particularly worthless as she looked at the women changing into their performance outfits one by one. Like her and Damien, they were the female companions of the men invited to the birthday banquet:
“Why didn’t I learn dancing with Lucy back then? Then, I would have an extra skill and wouldn’t feel so… humiliated after lying.”
It seemed like everyone was better than her…
The girl sighed, feeling even more miserable.
Damien’s lips curved into an indifferent smile. He kissed the bridge of her nose. “Actually, you’re great at dancing.”
“I saw you practicing in the room today. You were amazing.
At that moment, Kareen started dancing on stage.
Cherise secretly pointed to Kareen on stage. “Better than her?”
Damien chuckled. “Yes.”

Cherise flattened her lips. “You’re lying.”
“I’m not.”
The man gently kissed the girl’s check. “To me, you’re always the best.”
After Kareen finished her dance, a few other women performed.
One danced a Latin dance, another did the Samba, and one even played the violin!
Cherise was so nervous that her body was trembling.
“These… These people are all experts!”
She was basically an amateur compared to them…
She had no skills or strengths to speak of.
Soon, it was Gwenn’s turn.
The stage darkened.
Amidst the thick smoke and lights, Gwenn wore a vintage outfit and gracefully waved her sleeves as she danced.
Cherise was in a daze after watching Gwenn.
She was basically… even better than Lucy!
She took a few deep breaths. Besides admiration, she also felt dejected and nervous.
“Alright, I’m really going to embarrass myself greatly this time…”
After Gwenn finished her dance, thunderous applause erupted offstage.
Beckham couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. “Gwenn’s dancing has improved. It’s even better than Ari’s dance back then, more…
He paused and didn’t finish his sentence.
The people around them also started discussing it animatedly.
“Ms. Tanner’s dancing is amazing! I feel so inferior!”
“It’s because of Mrs. Lenoir. She wanted to dance, so she gave Gwenn Tanner a chance to showcase herself!”

“That’s right. We’ve been overshadowed!”
“Ah, Cherise Shaw has yet to perform. I wonder what kind of dance she’ll do. She doesn’t even have a performance outfit.”
“Heh. Let’s wait for Cherise to make a fool of herself! I heard that Mrs. Lenoir is a girl. from the countryside. She doesn’t know how to do anything other than studying!”
Cherise sat in her spot and listened to the discussions around her. She silently looked. down and played with her fingers.
“Next to perform is Mrs. Lenoir, Cherise Shaw!
Cherise didn’t know if it was intentional, but as Kareen announced the order of performers on stage, she deliberately called out Cherise’s name after Gwenn.
