Chapter 57

The crowd was very lively.

Sylvia turned away and went outside. She did not want to be chosen to step onto the dance floor andintended to avoid the spotlight.

Unexpectedly, Tristan trailed after her closely. He grabbed her and asked her, “Sylvia, where are yougoing?” She answered, “I’m looking for something to eat.” He smiled coyly, seeming to sense that shewas reluctant to get on the dance floor. “No need to rush. Let’s see who gets chosen for the first dance.”

Sylvia looked around them. They were relatively far from the dance floor now and should be outside therange of the spotlight, hence she nodded and stopped.

Tristan gave her a deep look, and then glanced in the direction of the host.

The host announced excitedly, “Let’s begin!”

The spotlights swirled rapidly across the venue.

After a few seconds, the spotlight suddenly landed at the edges of the crowd, shining atop where Sylviaand Tristan stood.

Everyone present followed the line of the spotlight and saw that it was Sylvia and Tristan. There was aninitial wake of astonishment, followed by plenty of cheering,

“It’s Mr. Ledger and Ms. Ross!” “They’re a wonderful pair. They deserve to be the first pair on the dancefloor.”

“Come on, Mr. Ledger and Ms. Ross, hurry up!”

They cheered them on and paved a path open for them to step on the dance floor.

Sylvia frowned. Tristan held her hand and whispered to her, “Don’t be afraid. Just follow my rhythm.”Sylvia was not scared. It was more so that she did not want to dance with him.

Unfortunately for her, the spotlight had chosen them. Furthermore, there was no chance she could refusethe crowd that was so eager to see them dance.

Oh well, dancing could not hurt.

She grunted and followed him onto the dance floor.

Someone was playing on a grand piano.

As soon as they stepped on the dance floor, the harmonious melody of the piano filled the venue.

Tristan bent down towards her elegantly with an outstretched hand, staring straight into her eyes with adazzling smile. “Will the beautiful Ms. Ross share the dance floor with me?”

Sylvia pursed her lips. She felt like he was being too dramatic. She did not elicit a verbal

response to his invitation and merely gave him her hand, Tristan stood up straight and took her hand inone hand as he put another hand on her waist.

Sylvia followed suit and placed a hand on his shoulder, and they began to dance. They matched eachother’s tempo rather exceptionally. They twisted and turned to every note, twirling across the dance floorelegantly. The dress Sylvia wore glided in the air with every movement she made.

The crowd surrounding the dance floor was mesmerized by the two dancers. They were captivated bythe way they danced and also by how dazzling the two of them were.

Tristan was the charming, charismatic baron of the castle while Sylvia was the elven princess dwellingdeep within the forest. Both her beautiful features and her slender figure were something only seen infairy tales.

Someone in the crowd remarked, “This lady that Mr. Ledger brought with him is so pretty.”

“Well, were you expecting Mr. Ledger of all people to bring just any ordinary woman?” “But isn’t she justhis employee?” “He has so many spectacular employees. Why did he choose to bring her specifically?Have you seen the way he looks at her? That’s not the way you look at any other common employee!”

The people in the crowd began to chatter amongst themselves.

Behind the crowd came Odell who had just arrived. He looked at the center of the dance floor to seewhat was garnering so much attention from everyone.

On the spacious dance floor were two faint figures blistering about, one clad in pink and the other inwhite Was that Tristan and Sylvia?
