Hansel raised an eyebrow before finally extending his hand, inviting her to dance with a courteous bow. Willow smiled, placing her hand in his, and the two gracefully moved onto the dance floor.

As Miranda and Madison returned from the restroom, they happened to witness the scene. They looked like a handsome couple, complementing each other well. It was quite a nice sight.

Miranda shifted her gaze indifferently. Suddenly, two hands appeared in front of her. One on the left, and the other on the right. Sam and Paul were both extending an invitation to her.

Madison was so startled she took a step back, effectively exiting the scene. This was a full–on competitive display, wasn’t it?

Sam smiled. “Miranda, would I have the honor of inviting you to a dance?”

Paul mirrored him with a slight smirk. “It seems I had the same idea as Mr. Cooper.”

Sam glanced at him, and Paul met his gaze without a flicker, the air between them thick with rivalry.

Miranda stood frozen, utterly baffled by the situation. Did they plan this?

She instinctively turned toward Madison, who looked at her with an apologetic expression. It was as if she was saying. “Sorry, Miranda, you’re on your own with this one.”

In the dim light and tucked–away spot, they might have gone unnoticed, but spectators at events like these had a way of sniffing out drama. Plus, this was impossible to hide.
