Seeing the scary look on Duke's face, Belinda couldn't help flinching. She had always thought that even though the man looked cold and distant, he was still gentle and soft inside. But right now, from the deadly cold look on his face, she finally realized that she was terribly wrong. This man could be very dangerous and scary. It seemed that she didn't know him as well as she thought.
"Belinda, I think you're really screwed this time, even God can't help you right now." Leena wanted badly to leave here and go home right away. She really didn't want to be stuck in this kind of situation at all.
"Did -- did I really go too far this time?" Belinda asked with a guilty look on her face. She gently pressed her fingers to her head, feeling a little bit dizzy. As the alcohol started to leave her body, she felt ill, and not at all sure of what she had done.
"What do you think?" Daisy frowned at her words. Because of the fight that happened earlier, the people surrounding this place all went away by now. So they were the only people left standing in the center of the dance floor. Duke stared coldly at Belinda for a couple of seconds, then looked away. He didn't say a word, just walked past them, like they were complete strangers. He didn't even look at them or make any gestures, he just walked away.
No one thought Duke would react this way. So they just stood still on the dance floor, paralyzed from shock. Leena was the first one to recover. She saw Duke leaving, then hurriedly ran after him. "Brother, wait up!
"You're leaving?" Edward slowly walked in, immediately had a teasing smile on his face when he saw Duke walking quickly towards the exit. But after a second glance, he couldn't help but frown, especially when he saw the familiar figure standing on the center of the dance floor. Brow furrowed, he had no idea what was happening.
"Edward! Boy are you a sight for sore eyes! Talk with Duke, please! He really needs you right now, I think!" Leena's face was all screwed up tight in worry. She was concerned about her brother, but she really didn't know what to do now. Why was it so hard to b
was quite nervous. She snuck a peek at Duke from time to time.
"Save it. I don't want to hear your excuses. I saw what you did with my own eyes, and you can't explain that away." Duke's tone was cold and distant, as if what he was saying had nothing to do with him. There was no warmth in his voice. And as for Belinda, she could be mad all she wanted, and she could also start some meaningless drama, but she couldn't get that close to any other man, and that was his rule.
"Ha... Really? If you really think so, then please, just go." Belinda was quick to admit when she was wrong, and had no problem apologizing, but she had her own rules. The first one of them was that she would never be the one to back down every time, just to please somebody else. She admitted that she had gone too far earlier, but that was just dancing. Why did he have to make such a big deal out of it?
"Yes really. I should be asking you the same thing. Do you mean that? This is messed up." Duke closed his eyes for a short moment, and he couldn't help but feel completely disappointed in her. All this time, he had thought that she was different from others, that she was not like other women who only saw his appearance and money, that she was someone special. But right now, it seemed that he was completely wrong. It turned out that there was no difference between her and other women, that she was just as shallow as them.
