Chapter 45

Taking advantage of the moment when James wasn't talking to anyone, Ophelia scooted over a little and asked, "Mr. Guinnes, could I take a picture with you? My family really likes you. He chuckled, "Sure. No problem"

James straightened his back, and Ophelia snapped a photo before nodding politely at him.

He gave Ophelia a once-over and casually asked, "You look pretty young. Are you twenty yet?"

She almost blurted out that she was twenty-five years old but quickly stopped herself. Instead, she replied, "Um... Yeah."

"Elia, let's go downstairs and have some fun." Sharon, who'd had a few drinks and was unusually cheerful, grabbed Ophelia's arm and pulled her downstairs.

The music downstairs was deafening, and the atmosphere was far livelier than upstairs. In the middle of the dance floor, handsome men and beautiful women were swaying and moving to the beat.

Sharon held both of Ophelia's hands and rhythmically taught her how to dance. "You should loosen up at your age. Stop being so uptight all the time. C'mon."
