Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 48- The dance

Lora tried to hide her card when she saw the number but someone had already seen it.

"We have a winner here! Miss L is the winner!" One of the ladies shouted excitedly.

All eyes, including Ryan's, turned to look at Lora, putting her in the spotlight.

The host smiled and said, "Miss Davis, you have to dance with Mr Kingsley since he picked your number."

Ryan got down the stage and approached Lora. When he reached her, he held out his hand and remarked, "I may have picked your number but since I'm a gentleman, I'll ask you to dance. May I have this dance, Miss Davis?"

Gasps echoed around the place as women fanned themselves. Ryan looked so hot as he asked Lora to dance.

"Congratulations on winning, Miss Davis. You're so lucky!" Someone said."

Lora frowned internally.

Lucky? More like cursed. Why would Ryan pick her number out of all the ladies who were in the hall? She looked up at Ryan and her heart skipped a beat. She had to admit he looked handsome. He was handsome... However, that didn't mean she could forget the past and act like it didn't happen.

"Miss Davis?" Ryan asked, arching an eyebrow at Lora. "Would you love to dance with me?"

Lora internally sighed. There was no way she could reject Ryan's request in front of so many people. She was the designer of the jewelry they would showcase that day after all and she used to be Ryan's partner.

It would be suspicious if she refused to dance with him.

Begrudgingly, she placed her hand in Ryan's and accepted, "Yes, I would love to."

Ryan smirked and held Lora's hand before leading her to the dance floor. A romantic song by Justin Timberlake began to play. The song was called, Mirrors.

Lora arched an eyebrow at the choice of song. Did Ryan...?
