Nervous on the Dance Floor

Ellena's POV

At this party, chairs were provided along the edges of the room. Usually, these events are enjoyed while standing, but this time it was different. Mr. August had previously explained to me that there likely wouldn't be any seating at this party, so the guests would have to enjoy the food and socializing while standing.

Now, we were sitting in one of the chairs in the front row, closer to the host of the event. At this moment, I felt uneasy because of what happened in the restroom. I was sure Mr. August thought I hadn't handled Maria well earlier. "August, I'm sorry about what happened earlier."

For some reason, I kept thinking about the incident with Maria. Even though I could guess how August would react, I still felt useless and weak. I really wanted to retaliate against Maria, but I didn't want to act too quickly. After all, the best revenge is carefully planned and well-executed.
