The voice was loud enough for many to hear, echoing the unspoken thoughts of those in attendance. All eyes once again turned to the handsome man on stage.Those familiar with his identity broke out in cold sweat, for they recognized him as Jonathan. To disrespect him so openly could only incur the wrath of this revered figure.However, Jonathan showed no signs of anger. His world seemed to revolve solely around the woman beside him as he gazed at her tenderly. "I am the most important person in her life," he declared before adding with equal certainty, "and she is the most important person in mine."Rose felt her heart flutter under Jonathan's passionate gaze, her face flushing with heat and embarrassment. Almost instinctively, she averted her eyes, her bashfulness evident to the onlookers.When Miles confessed, "She is the most important person in my life", her reaction was different. The contrast made it apparent, even without words, that Jonathan was the one who truly held a s
The song's heartfelt lyrics, amplified by her passionate performance, seemed to be sung exclusively for Jonathan. As anticipated, his gaze remained fixated on her throughout, never once shifting away.Yara's excitement escalated, prompting her to take it up a notch. As the song approached its most emotional peak, she deliberately turned her back, aiming to captivate Jonathan with an enchanting glance over her shoulder.Her heart fluttered with anticipation, confident that her captivating gaze would ensnare him. However, upon turning around, Yara was met with an unexpected sight—Jonathan's seat was empty.Her instincts kicked in as she frantically scanned the audience, losing her focus on lip-syncing to the music. Not only was Jonathan nowhere to be found, but the situation worsened as murmurs began to spread."Wait… Is she lip-syncing?""Of course, she is. Isn't it obvious? She's not even moving her lips, yet the singing continues.""It's fake! I knew her voice sounded too perfec
The familiar voice made Rose's body stiffen slightly. She hadn't expected him to follow her here.Yvonne slowly lifted her head and saw the man behind Rose. She was first struck by his stunning appearance. With his chiseled features, sharp eyes, and height, he looked like a model. Even his hair seemed to exude charm. She immediately recognized him as the most attractive man she had ever seen.Yvonne quickly returned to her senses as she recalled what the man had just said to release Rose."Are you talking to me?" she asked, still holding onto Rose.Something about this man's gaze struck her as peculiar, brimming with an undeniable possessiveness.A sudden realization dawned upon Yvonne. Without giving Jonathan a chance to respond, she eagerly pushed Rose aside, her gaze rapidly shifting between the two of them."Is he..." she began. She couldn't help but suspect the identity of the man before her.Rose's mouth twitched as she could see Yvonne's unspoken question in her eyes. H
Leonard noticed that Jonathan was staring longingly at the dance floor, likely wishing that he was the one dancing with Rose. However, his suggestion only earned him a cold glance from Jonathan."You seem to have a lot of free time, huh?" Jonathan said coolly.Leonard was momentarily stunned and wondered if he should help Yvonne out of the dance. He usually prided himself on being Jonathan's best assistant, always understanding his intentions with just a glance. But when it came to matters involving Rose, he couldn't figure out what Jonathan was thinking.He glanced helplessly at Finley, who looked both amused and sympathetic. Finley gestured for Leonard to keep his mouth shut, which he wisely did.Meanwhile, Jonathan's focus never strayed from the captivating figure on the dance floor. Rose's enchanting smile seemed to have a magical quality, effortlessly transcending the distance between them and lighting up his own expression.Outside the club, Miles sat in his car, having just
The reason why Jonathan was currently observing Rose from a second-floor railing rather than in the monitoring room was due to his ignorance of its existence. Even Yara, who knew more about this club than the Finch family's leader, demonstrated how well Yosef's family had concealed this place."What are you getting at?" Jack casually continued pouring himself a drink, his gaze still fixed on the figures dancing on the electronic screen.Seemingly tired from their revelry, the pair on the dance floor stepped away from the crowd. Yvonne whispered something to Rose, and the two disappeared from view. Jack's eyes eagerly searched the screens until he spotted them again on another panel. Grabbing the remote, he enlarged the image and replaced the previous view of the dance floor.Witnessing this series of actions, Yara became even more convinced that Jack was interested in Rose."Why watch her from afar? Wouldn't it be better to bring her here and observe her closely? It can be arra
Rose chose not to disclose Jonathan's true identity to Yvonne. Given his background, their time in Aquastead might have been for business purposes. Their shared experiences there were just fleeting episodes in their respective lives intertwined with the weighty legacy of the prestigious Finch family.The two would soon return to their separate worlds, and Rose had no desire to be swept up in unnecessary conflicts.Yvonne gently pulled Rose back and noticed a hint of bitterness in her eyes. Convinced that the couple was experiencing a rift, she was about to console Rose when a voice suddenly interrupted them."Excuse me, are you guests at tonight's celebration party?" They turned to see a staff member smiling politely outside the garden."Yes, we are. Is there something you need?" Yvonne asked, puzzled.The staff member gestured to another worker, who brought out a raffle box. "We apologize for disturbing you, but in celebration of your dance troupe's successful performance, we'v
Intending to share the good news with Yvonne upon her return, Rose followed the staff member through the club's winding corridors until they reached an elevator. Surprisingly, the staff member remained outside as she stepped in."Aren't you coming?" Rose asked, puzzled."The boss has instructed you to proceed alone," the staff member responded respectfully.The mention of "boss" reaffirmed Rose's suspicion that Jonathan was behind all this. As she contemplated the impending encounter, she tried to suppress her thoughts.However, as the elevator doors closed, that peculiar feeling resurfaced. Her eyes twitched uncontrollably as if sensing an ominous foreboding.The sensation lingered until the elevator came to a halt at the top floor. As the doors opened, an expansive room came into view.…Meanwhile, downstairs, Jonathan had returned after taking a phone call, only to discover that Rose had disappeared. A sense of unease crept over him.Just then, someone bumped into him, leavi
"She went to the restroom?" Yvonne muttered and glanced around the room as if searching for the restroom's location. Noticing her concern for Rose, Jack gestured for Yvonne to take a seat. "Ms. Spencer, please have a seat."Yvonne took a moment to observe the man on the couch. He wore a black shirt and gold-rimmed glasses and appeared to be in his 20s. Despite his friendly smile, something about his gaze made her uncomfortable."Come. Sit down and have some coffee," Jack said, pouring her a cup. "While we wait for Ms. Shaffer, we can discuss the recommendation slot for the Sardovia Royal Dance Academy."Yvonne hesitated before finally approaching, her unease lingering. Jack noticed how mentioning Rose seemed to ease Yvonne's tension and recognized the advantage it offered.Once she took a seat, Jack engaged her in conversation. "Ms. Shaffer told me you're her best friend. Is that true?""Yes," Yvonne responded, feeling slightly on edge and deliberately choosing a seat as far fro
