Avery raised her hands to show Lautner her handcuffs. They were a good reason to stop her from dancing with him. She said, "How do I dance like this?"
Mr. Black gloated more. He grinned for his mischief worked, "It's okay. Don't mind me. You can go ahead and dance."
As he assumed, there were two unhappy looks glaring at him.
Mr. Black was on purpose.
Avery didn't want to dance with him either. It crossed her line when Lautner forced her to kiss him. If Evan showed up at the banquet, what would he think if he saw it?
With the thought in mind, Avery looked at the hall and did a quick look. And she started to explain to herself when she was let down.
Why was she so sure Evan would turn up? He could come to B Country on business trips. Or he didn't plan to do anything at all.
Her heart was ripped apart because of it. It was so painful that she was almost choked.
