Chapter 341 Revelation
The party was quite huge. As the host of the party, Leo was busy entertaining his guests. Only when the melody started did the crowd start to move to the dance floor and he had some time to look for Melanie.
“I’m so sorry for leaving you on your own.”
“You’re being too polite, Mr. Leo.” Melanie gave him a courteous smile.
“We’re not strangers. Just call me Leo,” he said.
“I can’t get used to it so suddenly, but I’ll try.” she said as she maintained some distance.
“Do you want to dance?”
Leo looked at the dance floor that was slowly getting exciting. Melanie nodded and said, “Sure, I’ll take my leave for now…”
Leo was speechless.
His invitation was stuck in his throat as he looked at Melanie walking to the dance floor alone…
Luis told him that Melanie spent the night at Morgan Group last night, but she went running out of there in the morning crying… Was she so upset that she was going to dance alone?
On the other side, the company owners that were chatting with Jeffrey said to him, “There’s the music for the dance. We shouldn’t stop Mr. Jeffrey from dancing.” And then, they moved away.
Jane was standing behind Jeffrey. When she heard the word “dance”, her entire body stiffened. She bit her lips and walked up to Jeffrey, stopping in front of him, waiting for him to invite her.
However, even after a while, Jeffrey still didn’t budge.
Nathan’s order echoed in her ears. She didn’t chat or drink with him, so she had to at least dance with him, right? Jane made her decision and took the initiative to ask him, “Do you need a dance partner, Mr. Morgan?”
“You can dance?” Jeffrey finally looked at her.
Jane quickly nodded and said, “I learned how to dance before. I won’t embarrass you!”
The edges of Jeffrey’s lips were raised, but he didn’t seem to be smiling. Instead, it looked like disdain from discovering something. “I already have a dance partner. You should find someone else.”
With that, Jeffrey turned around and walked away, heading to the other side of the dance floor.
When he was halfway there, he saw Melanie walking toward him. She had intentionally put on makeup that made her look exhausted, but even then, he felt pitiful for her…
He gave his hand to her and said, “May I invite you to a dance, Miss Melanie?”
“Of course, Mr. Jeffrey.” She raised her hand and placed it gently on his.
The two of them began to dance perfectly in sync with each other as the music changed.

This was not their first time dancing with each other. They didn’t need to synchronize their movements or their actions. As they danced, he observed Leo’s expression, while she observed Isla’s.
As expected, they were both in shock.
But Jane was even more shocked than those two.
She stood at the edge of the dance floor and looked at Melanie and Jeffrey who looked as if they were a match made in heaven. She felt like an unneeded clown looking at the handsome man dancing with the beautiful
woman.
Suddenly, her phone started to vibrate. She was instantly brought back to reality and she quickly answered the
call after running to a corner.
“What happened?!” Nathan questioned her in anger.
“I’m not sure, Mr. Quinn. It didn’t seem like it is over between Melanie and Mr. Morgan… He refused me, saying that he has a dance partner already…”
Jane was still explaining when Nathan shouted, “How many times do I have to tell you?! When you answer my
call, never say my name!”
“Of course… Mr…” Jane quickly stopped herself from saying what came after.
“You better act normally!”
Nathan realized that this might be something that Jeffrey and Melanie came up with and immediately changed his plan. “I’ll tell you what to do next. Even if they’re not fighting, I can make them fight immediately!
“Go to the entrance and get something for me!” Nathan said.
Jane didn’t dare to dilly-dally and quickly ran to the entrance. When someone that looked like a servant saw her, he secretly gave her a card.
“This is…?”
“A keycard for the guest room on the third floor!”
