Chapter 422
Matthew and Lucy rarely got to spend time together anymore, so they usually had to carve out time just to be together. This festival was the perfect opportunity.
Matthew was so dedicated to his work that he even sacrificed his own hobbies, yet Lucy was able to dig up his secret interests from the dusty corners of the study.
Lucy was so understanding and respectful that it was not an overstatement to say that they were soulmates.
Deeply engrossed in conversation, they completely forgot the presence of the rich and powerful figures around them. Their affectionate photos were captured by the reporters.
The headlines for tomorrow were already being written in their heads. [Matthew Leon from Leon Corporation and his wife, Princess Lucy of Charleston, debunking rumors.] What a money-making title.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
As the revolving lights cast a dreamy warm glow on Lucy's face, Matthew's hand was about to caress Lucy's cheek when suddenly, there was a sharp whoosh and the lights dimmed.
The sudden darkness caused a commotion among the crowd as they began to whisper about the next agenda-the ball.
As the stage lights up again, the host, dressed in a black tailcoat, solemnly commenced the ball.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for the ball. I hope everyone will have a wonderful time."
The host did not dwell too much on the ball's rules and regulations since the attendees were mostly cultured individuals. It was unlikely for them to cause any trouble.
Everyone was eager to step onto the dance floor and enjoy the festivities.
Royal balls happen periodically, but what made this one special was the presentation of an award for the best dancers of the evening.
While it might sound like the award
was just for fun, the grandeur of the
Wine Festival and the number of
royal andnoble attendees this year was unprecedented. Thus, this ball had become a battlefield for showcasing extravagance and competing for attention.
On the other hand, Lucy did not think much of it because dancing was all
about Raving fun anyway was all
Getting
caught up in competition would only
suck the fun out of it. Conten
Everyone seemed more interested in competing rather than enjoying themselves. Were they that eager to win that award? Lucy did not see its significance.
One of the fun parts of the ball was choosing a partner, but because of Lucy and Matthew's relationship," they were each other's partners by default.
Then again, even if he and Lucy were not in a relationship, Matthew would never allow her to dance with anyone else...
He was just too possessive.
Lucy casually placed her hand in Matthew's hand. She let her black dress trail behind her as her face glowed under the soft lights.
Holding Matthew's hand tightly, Lucy was a little nervous.
She had learned a bit of dancing before, but she only scratched the surface. She was scared of making a fool of herself in front of everyone. As Matthew and Lucy moved forward hand in hand, a forceful arm suddenly intervened.
