Chapter 119

Andre was sipping his glass of champagne, looking bored. Janet approached him from the back and bumped into his shoulder. Andre’s hand shook. Some champagne spilled onto his white shirt. “On my god! I am so sorry sir!” Janet gasped, “Are you alright?!”

Andre jerked around in fume.

He was about to scold Janet. Yet when his eyes fixed upon Janet’s face, the angry look was quickly replaced by an awed expression.

He was dazzled by Janet’s beauty.

And from the look on his face, Janet could tell that he didn’t recognize her at all. Which made sense. Because her face was covered by a gold masquerade mask, and they had only met each other two times.

“Don’t worry about it, miss.” Andre grinned, flashing his white teeth. “And I bet a lot of men here tonight would love to have a pretty lady like you bumping into them.”

Janet giggled, fluttering her eyelashes, “You flatter me. Is there any way that I can make up for my clumsiness?”

“How about a dance with me?” Andre held out his right hand to Janet.

“My pleasure,” Janet smiled, placing her hand in Andre’s palm.

Together, they waltzed into the crowd of dancers.

The hall was filled with the harmonious melody of a waltz, couples gracefully twirling across the floor.

Andre held Janet’s right hand and his left hand was on her waist, leading swirling across the dancefloor.

He was actually a masterful dancer, his movements fluid and precise, leading her effortlessly through the steps. Each twirl and dip was executed elegantly.

Yet Janet didn’t have time to enjoy this dance.

She looked beyond Andre’s shoulder and spotted a few guards standing by the dancefloor, watching them intently from the distance.

They were monitoring Andre’s every move.

If she wanted to talk to Andre without causing the guard’s suspicion, now was her only chance.

“What is the matter?”

Andre had noticed her absence of mind. He raised an eyebrow and asked, “You don’t seem to enjoy this dance very much. Did I step on your feet or anything?”

Janet gulped.

She had to cut right into the chase.

Her time was limited.
