Chapter 45 Dance With The Wolf

The blinding light fell on Sherry. She silently stood there at the center of everyone's attention. On her fair slender neck, a silver necklace was giving off a brilliant shine.

At that moment, she looked so stunning and holy in that white dress she was wearing.

Still holding the roses in her hands, Sherry was starting to feel her palms getting sweaty. As she looked at the men in front of her, she noticed that there was a faint smile glued to Chester's face; Steve was gave her an expectant look; and as for Jeremy, his eyes looked like they were giving her a hint of a warning.

'Don't you dare dance with anyone other than me.'

That was the thought that cropped up in Sherry's mind the second she saw the look in Jeremy's eyes. After giving him a quick glance, she instantly looked away and tried to avoid his gaze.

Needless to say, other men had also been looking forward to it.

"So, Miss Xu, who are you going to choose?" Seeing that Sherry still hadn't picked anyone, the emcee had to ask her.

With the emcee prodding her into making a decision, Sherry took a deep breath and made up her mind.

This would mean she was going to choose the most attractive man among all of them. After all, no matter whom she chose to dance with, people would think that she had her eye on that man.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Sherry walked down the stage and walked toward Steve. With a captivating smile on her cherry lips, she reached out her hand and gave the roses she was holding to Steve.

"I choose Mr. Song, the birthday person tonight!" Sherry voice echoed throughout the hall.

Seeing this, people began glancing at each other and whispering. Although Sherry might not have been able to hear what they were saying, she could more or less guess what it was about.

Sherry could tell that everyone was thinking she had a thing for Steve.

"Today is Mr. Song's birthday, so you are the real star of the night. As a guest, I guess I am lucky enough to dance with you. May I have the honor of dancing with you?"

With her bright eyes blinking, the hair on Sherry's temples fell down. Right now, she seemed quite cunning and cute.

Standing next to Steve, Jeremy made sure to watch every expression Sherry made as she spoke. From being flustered in the beginning to the calmness in her face later on, and the confident smile she was wearing right now.

'Humph, this woman is indeed a little foxy!' With his hands in his pockets, Jeremy clenched his fists.

Steve couldn't help looking at Sherry in astonishment. Truth be told, his heart skipped a bit when she walked toward him, as he wasn't expecting that she would actually choose him.

She had always been indifferent to him before.

"Of course, it would be my pleasure." Looking at the roses in her hand, Steve took them right away without any hesitation.

Seeing the unexpected turn of events, the emcee was pleasantly surprised and shouted, "Miss Xu handed the roses in her hand to Mr. Song. She has invited Mr. Song to dance, and Mr. Song could not refuse!"

Her voice was so loud that it reverberated in the entire hall.

With a smile glued to his face, Steve happily told Sherry, "It's my honor."

"No, today is your special day, and you invited me to your party. Of course I should choose you," Sherry quickly blurted out.

When the people heard this, the whispers of the people around them suddenly shifted into a different tone.

'She might not be one of those women who are trying to pursue Steve after all!' Because of this, Sherry was finally a

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

ever give up. In fact, my greatest point is my persistence."

There was still a smile on Steve's face. Hearing what he had just said, Sherry was left at such a loss that she almost fell to the floor.

As it turned out, all the things she said didn't mean a thing to him in the end. What a stubborn man he was!

"I've made up my mind to formally pursue you!" Steve said, looking her straight in the eyes. The way he was being so serious startled Sherry for a moment there.

However, she managed to pull herself together right away and didn't buy what Steve just said. She wasn't really that fond of Steve. After all, she could never forget what had happened between them in the past.

This dance lasted quite a while. Sherry stayed in Steve's arms, moving stiffly the entire time. It felt so long that her whole body was starting to feel sore. When they were finally done, she immediately took a few steps back, making it a point to stay away from Steve.

Seeing this, Steve simply blurted out, "I'm already looking forward to dancing with you next time."

To which, Sherry curtly replied, "Let's talk about it some other time." It seemed that Steve wanted to continue their conversation, but Sherry immediately turned around and walked toward the washroom.

The temperature was very high, and she felt inexplicably hot for some reason. As she touched her cheeks and looked at herself in the mirror, Sherry heaved a heavy sigh.

Steve looked like a lot of trouble. He was just too stubborn, and Sherry wasn't familiar with him in any way, so she didn't have the nerve to say anything too rude to him. Considering what had happened just now, she thought that it would be better not to have anything to do with him in the future.

She was freshening up and fixing her makeup. And when she went out of the washroom, she bumped into someone by accident.

She had no idea whether Jeremy just happened to be in the washroom or he deliberately stood in front of her to block her way.

At this moment, Sherry began thinking about what Jeremy was trying to tell her earlier. He looked as though he was warning her not to choose anyone other than him.

This should hardly be surprising for her, because what Jeremy did wasn't any different from before. If he didn't do anything to poke fun at her in some way, she would start feeling so uneasy and uncomfortable.
