“No, not at all,” Sandra pouted playfully, a slight teasing edge to her voice. She thought, ‘She just couldn’t shake the feeling that Kingston was different.

“When are we heading home? I’m so tired,” Sandra yawned after finishing her meal.

“Wait a bit longer. Isolde needs to rest too,” Luna replied just as thunderous applause erupted from the dance floor.

It turned out that Joycelyn and Ellison had finished their dance, and the crowd was cheering for them.

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Joycelyn pulled away from Ellison’s hand. “I’ll go find Isolde. You can head back first.”

“I’ll wait for you outside,” Ellison said, his gaze sweeping through the crowd, his energy completely shifting. When he wasn’t looking at Joycelyn, his expression was distant, cold, as if repelling anyone who dared come too close.

“Mr. Grant,” a middle–aged man tried to approach.

William stepped in quickly, blocking the man. “Sorry, Mr. Grant has business to attend to. If you have anything to say, I can pass it on.”

With that, everyone rushed to engage with William, eager to be close to him.

Joycelyn walked over to Isolde, supporting her gently. “Isolde, it’s getting late, let’s head back.”

“Alright, you danced beautifully earlier,” Isolde complimented as she chatted with Joycelyn and waved goodbye to the other wealthy ladies. Her face was still beaming with pride, and there was no trace of the fainting episode earlier.

“Goodbye, Isolde, Ms. Maynard. I look forward to the next time,” Mrs. Willows said, waving as she bid them farewell.

When Joycelyn stepped outside, she saw Ellison’s Rolls–Royce waiting there.

“Isolde, let’s take the nanny car back,” Joycelyn suggested as she got into the car they had arrived in.
