Monique’s heart dropped. Henry intended to let her make a fool of herself in public—it was his way of reminding her of her status.
She would do as he pleases and dance then. It was not the first time she would be mocked by others anyway.
Furthermore, did he think that she would be the only one who would be publicly embarrassed?
Monique raised her chin defiantly and stared at Henry. “Teach me then!”
“Why should I teach you? Look at how others dance and just follow them,” he replied with a raised brow.
Monique clenched her jaw and began to imitate their movements. However, dancing was still too foreign for her. She kept stepping onto other people’s feet, sometimes even Henry’s as well.
She felt a strange sense of satisfaction when she saw Henry frowning. She thought, ‘Serves you right! Who told you to make me do this, you punk!’
The panicked expression on her face gradually transformed into a small grin.
The people dancing around them were annoyed after being stepped on by Monique but no one dared to make a sound.
After all, she was Chairman Moore’s plus one.
Nevertheless, there were people mocking her from afar.
“What a joke! She can’t even dance!”
“How shocking! Such a pretty face yet such a poor dancer.”
“She shouldn’t have danced if she doesn't know how to. Why is she hogging Chairman Moore?”
When the music stopped, Henry had been stepped on by Monique quite a number of times. His face was as black as coal when he asked, “Did you do that on purpose?”
Initially, she was in a blur and stepped on him by accident. However, she slowly got the gist of it after watching the others but she continued to step on him intentionally.
“I told you I don’t dance!” Monique curled her lips victoriously.
All of them saw how she initiated the kiss.
If they were in her place, they would undoubtedly do the same.
However, if they did, they would be deemed as a shameless slut.
“What a shameless woman… This is outrageous…”
“Look at the way she threw herself at him.”
“If not, how could she get her hands on Chairman Moore? I heard that he never had any woman near him before.”
Her kiss caught Henry by surprise although she was rather inexperienced. He felt like he was being pecked by a chick.
Nevertheless, the tenderness of her lips and her sweet action stirred something inside him.
