Chapter 32: Ligeti’s evening dance party X

The introductory music finally stopped. And so, Christopher bowed, and Serena curtsied. Then, he took her hand as the music began.

Charlton who was supposed to dance with Larissa has taken the sidelines like everyone else. He watched as Serena unabashedly smiled and batted her eyelashes towards Christopher. Flirting without any shame nor inhibition for everyone to see.

He watched as Christopher took her hand, twirled her as his eyes grazed the rest of her body, and all that while, she smiled as if Christopher's attention was all she ever wanted. Did she need a man that bad?

At one point, he remembered the time she did it with Geoffrey just to spite him, and he briefly wondered if she were doing the same now. He shook his head. No, it was different.

In any case, why should he even bother? Whatever she does was none of his business, and if she were to get hurt, which he knew she would, that was her problem.
