However, when Myra entered the garden, she felt someone's heated gaze penetrating through her body and when she finally met with the pair of eyes, her body shivered a little…
Jack felt her uneasiness and asked in her ear whispering in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Myra immediately moved her eyes from Cole to Jack after hearing his voice. But when she saw the worry in his eyes which was ready to give her comfort any moment, she smiled and said, "Yes.. I'm okay."
Smiling back at her, Jack took her towards the place where others were already standing. Myra glanced at Cole for one last time before taking back her eyes from him.
Soon the main couple had come holding each other as they made everyone swoon over their beauty.
Soon each and everyone came to congratulate them but Cole was still waiting for Alonzo to go with him.
Alonzo returned after talking with few businessmen with Regina tagging behind him and the three of them walked towards the couple...
"Congratulations Mr. Henry and Ms. Lucinda for your engagement." Alonzo said but soon his eyes landed on the girl of his dreams who was cozily wrapped in the arms of her love.
Reuben smirked at Alonzo seeing the jealousy in his eyes after seeing Veronica embracing him but Veronica completely ignored the presence of Alonzo. She didn't even give him a look at least for once...
Cole too congratulated them before admiring Myra, "You look beautiful today, Myra. Seems like you've changed yourself really well."
Myra scoffed at him before saying, "Obviously.. You can't expect me to stay innocent for my whole life so that I can only face the betrayal and get cheated on multiple times. Time changes Cole and so do I..."
Cole was surprised to hear Myra retort him for the first time in a mocking way but covered his expression soon.
Whereas Jack's eyes flickered at the mention of his name being Cole as he realised that he was the ex boyfriend of Myra who had betrayed her so brutally and also the same person who was going to seal a deal with Lopez Industries.
Veronica was observing the silent conversation between the three of them but her head snappped at her right side when she heard an irritating voice which made her extremely angry....
"Oh Reuben!! You're looking so much handsome today. Veronica, you should be careful that no other girls will snatch him away from you." Regina tried to say sweetly hiding her evil thoughts but failed at it.
Reuben was about to give her a sharp answer but Veronica held his hands shopping him before saying, "Well, no other girls except some idiots will try to eye on my honey. And if they try to pry on him, I know how to break their wings so they can't fly again..."
Hearing it, everyone chuckled whereas Reuben just felt proud of his girl but Alonzo just kept looking at her, seeing her being so overprotective about Reuben.
Soon the elders called the couple for the engagement and soon after exchanging their rings with the huge round of applause from the crowd, they finally promoted into their relationship from boyfriend-girlfriend to fiances..
As the engaged couple, Henry and Lucinda started dancing first...soon other couples also joined them.
Regina also dragged Alonzo on the stage forcefully and to save from the eyes of others, he was obliged to dance with her.
Now, it was only Myra, Jack and Cole left alone there. Taking the chance Cole asked, "Would you like to have a dance with me, Myra?"
But before Myra could respond, Jack butted in, "I'm sorry to say Mr. Parker but Myra is my date for tonight. So she would only dance with me."
Then looking at Myra, he asked with a sweet smile on his face, "Do you want to blast the stage by having a rocking dance with me?"
Cole tried to protest him in his anger, "No.. She will not.." but stopped when he heard Myra's voice.
"Of course. It'll be a pleasure for me to have a dance with someone so much handsome like you, Jack..." Myra said sweetly.
Myra didn't know what made her accept a dance with Jack...but just by seeing his expectant face and hearing his sweet yet funny proposal for a dance, she couldn't help but agree with him...
She was even more confused with the fact that she became so much comfortable with Jack just in a day which was quite unbelievable for her.
More surprising thing for her was that, now she was able to avoid Cole successfully without stuttering or any fear which was also quite new to her.
Jack beamed and took her towards the dance floor which made Cole grit his teeth in anger as he glared at Jack.
Whereas Diana and Louis were on the other zone of their bonding relationship. They were dancing together in a perfect sync which was comfortable for both of them.
"Did I tell you how beautiful you look?" Louis asked looking in her eyes.
Diana smiled at him and said, "No...but thanks for the compliment. And yeah...don't say it too loud otherwise the girl whom you have a liking on, would get upset."
"She wouldn't." Louis whispered.
"And why so?" Diana asked, anticipating his answer eagerly.
Louis chuckled before tilting down his head a little so that he could whisper in her ear, "What if I say the girl I like is none other than you..."
The moment Diana heard this, her eyes widened in shock and she stared at Louis with an unbelievable kind of expression as she asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"Nothing.. We'll talk about this later in some spare time." Louis said, to which Diana just nodded.
Veronica gazed at Alonzo and Regina dancing together and said to Reuben, "They are looking so much adorable while dancing. Aren't they??"
Reuben thought she was addressing any of their friends but when she looked at the direction where Veronica had her eyes glued on, he asked with uncertainty, "What? How can you say Alonzo is adorable?"
Veronica gave him a look like he had said the world's biggest joke and said, "I'm not talking about Alonzo. I'm talking about his partnership with Regina."
"Well no way, they are looking cute.." Reuben made a distasteful face while describing them.
Veronica gave him a wicked grin before saying, "Well, one is a certified bitch and other is a freaking bastard… Now tell me, don't they make a good couple together??"
