Chapter 22 What Are You Waiting for?
Angelia gazed at the crystal clear pink-diamond necklace in front of her, thinking that what she should do if she just broke it since it was like treasure.
The steward seemed to know what she was thinking in her mind, and then he said with a poker face,
"Though the banquet is held in the Millers, it's important to Mr. Miller. So, please be careful."
"Sure, I know it." Angela replied.
Then she looked at those gorgeous jewelry.
The steward was very worried about that.
"Miss Hunks, there will be a ball in the banquet, what should I need to prepare for you?"
"A ball..."
Angela looked at him surprisingly.
"Do I have to dance in the banquet?"
The steward was sort of shocked and said, "of course you have to."
"Really?" she said.
Then she looked away less confidently.
"I just don't attend any banquet for so long, so I am not so sure."
The steward frowned and said flatly, "please have a good preparation for it."
Angela said to herself in her mind, "I have to dance."
She looked at the necklace on her hand and opened it. There was a flash of light.
Then she came back to her bedroom and closed the door carefully.
She took out her phone and searched ballroom dancing on the Google.
When searching online, it came out with seven or eight kinds of dancing.
Then she clicked one of the video where two people in night gowns were dancing along with the music.
They were holding hands and leaned to each other closely, tuned around and around.
She watched few of the videos, and the dancing types were so different. She couldn't remember any of them.
This is the first time for her as Claudia Hunk to appear in the public. If she made any mistake...
She took a deep breath, and stabilized her phone on the desk.
"Just five hours left. I can't do anything but cram for it. I hope it's not too late." She said to herself. Then she raised her arms slowly and followed the instructions on the video.
"Dance?" Jonathan said.
He looked up to the steward.
"Yes, but Miss Hunks seems to be so confused about the dancing part." The steward added.
Jonathan stopped writing and lost in thought for a moment.
"OK, I got that."
Jonathan put down his pen when finished reading the last contract.
"Where is she?" he asked.
The steward looked at him in shock but soon lowered his head down.
"Miss Hunks is in her bedroom." he replied.
Then Jonathan stood up.
The bedroom.
Angelia followed the instructions in the video awkwardly, and turned around.
The door suddenly opened.
"Who's that?" she said.
Then she turned back immediately and saw the face of Jonathan. He is at the door!
"Why are you here?" Angelia asked.
Jonathan looked around her, and his eyes stopped at the phone which the video was playing.
Angelia followed his gaze and was shocked, and then she ran to the desk and got her phone and hided it at her back.
He must see it.
Angelia looked down and her face was getting hotter and hotter with two blushes.
Jonathan looked back to Angelia and came over to her.
"There is a tradition of the Millers. In the first half of the banquet, there will be the new couple lead the dance until the ball is over." he said. Leading the dance?
Angelia looked at him in surprise.
She thought she was only to lead the dance for a short while.
If she must lead the dance, then there was no way for her to dance casually.
Jonathan seemed not to notice her troubled expression, and said, "Waltz, tango, blues, which one are you good at?"
"I..." Angelia didn't know how to dance even she spent so much time learning it.
She peeked at him, and her voice became softer, kind of murmuring.
"I don't know all of them actually."
Jonathan came closer to her, and said with a lower voice.
"Walt, though it is a self-entertainment dance, it is the earliest and the most energetic kinds of dance among ballroom dancing. The speed is not fast, and it is easy to learn. The action is elegant and wonderful, that's suitable to the beginners."
Then he stopped in front of her, reached his hands to Angelia.
But she stood there still.
Jonathan reached his hands much closer to her and said, "What are you waiting for?"
