Chapter 91

When Eve stepped back on the dance floor with Noah, a few more couples joined to dance along with them, while the ones dancing earlier stepped out to mingle with the guests.?

Every sound of the music played resonated on the strong walls of the ballroom. This being her second time, she was less daunted from the few eyes that stared at her. Also because the crowd on the dance floor partially hid them.?

“Pardon me if I am not upto the mark in dancing, I am not well versed in it like the rest of them,” Noah was polite in his words and manner as he and Eve continued to dance.?

Eve looked surprised and said, “I thought learning to dance was something mandatory in elite families. Is it because it doesn’t interest you?” She curiously looked at him.?

“Something like that,” for a moment, Noah looked away from her, and Eve wondered if he was embarrassed by it. “I told Lady Marceline when she asked me if I wouldn’t ask her for a dance. She insisted on teaching me.”

Eve didn’t know if she was supposed to be relieved that it wasn’t Noah who asked Lady Marceline to ask or that the vampiress asked him. She replied, “I think you are dancing perfectly well, Noah. You haven’t stamped my feet and neither have I,” she smiled, receiving a smile back from him.?

“Do you like to dance, Genevieve?” Questioned Noah as they continued dancing to the music played in the background. “You seem to be enjoying it.”

“Eugene and I often like to dance when we attend town gatherings. The music there is less sophisticated one unlike here,” answered Eve, and Noah nodded to her in understanding.?

“That sounds delightful. Maybe one day I will attend it,” stated Noah with a calm expression.

“I am sure the townsfolk would be overjoyed if they see you attending it. It is not every day a Duke comes to attend such small gatherings in the town,” replied Eve, feeling him hold her hand delicately.?

In height, Noah was as tall as Vincent, and Eve had to crane her head a little compared to when she was dancing with Vincent as he had taken full leverage when dancing with her. She cleared her throat, and Noah raised his eyebrows. She shook her head with a smile.?

“How are you finding the ball so far? Enjoying it?” Questioned Noah, and Eve gave it some thought before her eyes looked left and right at the couples dancing next to them. “Bad?”?

Eve smiled, and her eyes lowered to fall on the lapel of his coat. She said, “No, it isn’t that it is bad. It has been eventful so far. What about you?” She returned the question to him.?

“Better than I thought it would be,” responded Noah, and after a pause, he said, “It seems like you get along well with your employer.”

“Ah, yes. Mr. Moriarty,” Eve nodded, not sure if Vincent and she really got along. “He’s a decent person, compared to most of the people.”

“Yes, it appears to be so. Not every employer takes his employee to the dance floor,” Noah’s eyes were fixed on hers. Eve pondered over his words, but the next moment he said, “It is good to get along with people, especially when you are passionate about being a governess and working in the mansion. But be careful.”

Eve’s eyebrows furrowed, and she asked, “Why do you say that?”?

“You are a dear person to me, I would be upset if something were to happen to you,” Noah looked straight into Eve’s eyes, that brought blood rushing up to her cheeks. “I am guessing that we are allowed to worry about each other?”?

His words only led her to believe that she was special to him.?

She stared into his eyes, questions in them, while Noah offered his polite smile.?

Even though Eve knew him longer than she knew Vincent, there was a little distance from how they moved on the dance floor. She wasn’t sure if the distance
