Chapter 514 I’m Waiting for Her

Sonia was supposed to be Zane’s dance partner, after all. She had accepted his invitation, but she ended up abandoning him and walking off with Toby. At least he has Emily as his partner, Sonia thought. At least he didn’t end up in an awkward situation where he was left alone. Regardless, Sonia knew that she had broken her promise with Zane the moment she walked off with Toby. She knew that she owed Zane an apology.

At that thought, Sonia massaged her temples before she pulled her handphone out of her bag to give Zane a call. Zane picked up after a few seconds, and he didn’t sound the least bit amused as he spoke in a glum voice. “Sonia.”

“Where are you, Zane?” she asked.

He was silent for two seconds before he responded. “I’m in the car.”

“The car?” Sonia froze for a second. “Mhmm,” Zane replied before he honked lightly. Sonia tightened her grip on her phone when she heard the sound of the vehicle in the background of the call. “Did you go home?”

“Yeah,” Zane said honestly.

“Why? The party isn’t over yet—why did you leave all of a sudden?” Sonia bit her lower lip.

“I’ve been there for a while already, so I don’t think it makes a difference if I stay for the second half of the party.” He steered the car with one hand as he continued talking. “Why are you calling me, anyway?”

“I’m calling to apologize,” she uttered before letting out a sigh.

“You’re apologizing to me?” He was stunned.
