Chapter 508
Jonah was rocking a white suit, standing tall and proud in the middle of the dance floor, looking like a dashing and refreshing prince charming. No one could guess what he was about to pull next.
As the waiter passed by with some glasses of red wine, Bartlett flagged him down, grabbed a glass, and with a nod of his chin, indicated to serve his buddies too.
Kemp and Theo each grabbed a glass and clinked them together, excitedly anticipating Jonah’s upcoming show.
Ellinor gave the waiter a shake of her head, saying lightly. “Thanks, but I don’t drink.”
Bartlett smiled, telling the waiter, “Fetch this lady a glass of juice.”
“Right away.” The waiter nodded in response and left.
Bartlett moved closer to Ellinor, leaning towards her and grinning, “Ellinor, you don’t usually drink, do you?”
Ellinor answered nonchalantly, “Depends on my mood.”
Bartlett raised an eyebrow, curiosity and interest twinkling in his eyes, “So, you drink a bit when you’re in a good mood? Or a bad mood?”
“Both.” Ellinor replied.
Bartlett chuckled, “Well, if I get a chance, can I ask you out for a drink?”
Ellinor turned her head to look at Bartlett, intending to tell him to quit messing around.
But as she did, she caught sight of Theo watching them; his narrow and sharp eyes were cold and intimidating.
Ellinor felt a bit off. She turned her face back, not wanting to engage with Bartlett anymore.
Suddenly, the piano music in the banquet hall stopped and was replaced by a lively dance number.
Kemp announced, “Jonah, it’s showtime.”
Jonah Wyton flipped his hair back with a swift motion of his hand.
At this point, he didn’t care anymore, “Let’s dance! I, Jonah, a grown–ass man, am not scared of anything! Let me show you all my
dance moves!”
As he chatted away, he unbuttoned his suit jacket, moved to the music, swung his coat around a few times, and then flung it off.
The girl who caught his coat blushed, her friends around her screamed excitedly, and even sniffed his jacket.
Bartlett didn’t get a response from Ellinor, but he wasn’t bothered; instead, he clinked glasses with Kemp and Theo, sipping his wine and enjoying Jonah’s dance.
Ellinor was also engrossed. A smile crept onto her face as she was amused by Jonah’s dance.
Surrounded by the buzzing crowd, she didn’t notice the change in those cold eyes next to her.
Jonah had completely taken off his shirt; his wide shoulders, narrow waist, and eight–pack abs looked incredibly sexy under the dance floor lights and exuded an irresistible masculine charm. The women were captivated and totally engrossed.
Jonah danced passionately, teasingly raised his eyebrows at the girls around the dance floor, unbuckled his belt, and prepared to strip off his lower garments.
Suddenly, everything went black.
A power outage?
Everyone was taken aback, and confusion ensued.
In the darkness, there was chaos.
“What’s going on?”
“Is it a power outage?”
“It’s so dark! What should we do? I’m scared of the dark…”
Suddenly someone rushed over, and Ellinor was pushed back, nearly losing her balance. Luckily, she managed to grab Bartlett’s arm.
She was wearing heels, which she rarely wore, so her balance was greatly affected. Plus, she was pregnant. If she fell in this darkness and there was a stampede, her life would be in danger.
Ellinor clung tightly to Bartlett’s arm to keep her balance, saying, “Bartlett, I need you to keep me steady!”
