Chapter 63
Mabelle just then shrugged off her shoulders and pouted. “Well, that’s why we came up with this idea, right? We really need to embarrass that cheap rat to the public. That’s the first step in getting rid of all the things on your way.” Her eyebrows were arched upward and there was a sly smile on her face.
Asthrid knew what she should be doing now, she had to focus on her goal just like what Mabelle said. Nothing could ever come their way. This plan will be pushed through and the first thing that she had to do now is to look for Grant once again. And then the most difficult part of it is how to make Grant dance with her because she was pretty sure that the Alpha was one of the snobbish Alpha there was.
No girls could just go and ask him out or approach him. This was a bit challenging, but if it meant eradicating the enemy, which was Krisna, then she would do it by all means. Nothing’s going to stop her now because she was very desperate.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
3rd Person POV
“I will be there in a minute, I just have to finish talking to this guy first. See you there, Ms. Asthrid, and good luck finding a way.” She winked at Asthrid with a teasing smile, so she just nodded at her without saying a word.
After Asthrid and Mabelle talked, Asthrid went back inside the venue hall while Mabelle, to the guy she was talking to earlier. They both had gone separate ways and now, Asthrid was having a hard time on how to go near the Alpha and ask him to dance with her. She might be the one to be embarrassed if her offer would be declined in an instant, she couldn’t take that thought.
“Tsk, why didn’t she even help me think of an idea? She’s too selfish, I always do the work and she just gives me the instructions.” She nagged while she was trying to look around to find where Grant would be. Here she went again, looking for a person who was too difficult to find since the Alpha couldn’t stay in one place because he got a lot of visitors to entertain.
If it just wasn’t for Grant, she wouldn’t do something like accepting instruction from someone she didn’t know about in the first place. She could do everything in her own way, after all. She had been doing it right from the start, but maybe this time she had someone else’s help to get rid of Krisna.
She continued to roam around the venue hall to look for Alpha Grant, but she didn’t know that Alpha Grant was not dancing on the dance floor. She looked at the woman he was dancing with and she let out a sigh of relief when she noticed that it was not Krisna. She looked as to where she could be, but she was not in the corner anymore. She wanted to look for Krisna at the moment and scold her for not staying in the corner just like what she had been told, but she also couldn’t take the Alpha off her sight. It was too difficult to look for him and she just couldn’t let this chance pass. She had to dance with him now, but how?
“Oh, geez. This is making me think harder than I thought.” She told herself in an irritated tone of voice. He was still dancing with a girl and she thought that it was her time to shine. Although Asthrid was the meanest person on the planet, she still had some etiquette left in her and she just couldn’t go there and tell them that it was her turn next.
Afterward, the music changed and it got her hopes up once again. A random guy passed by her and then she came up with a plan. Even without his permission, she just grabbed his hand and pulled him into the dance floor and then they started to dance along with the beat. The guy she pulled was too confused, he also didn’t know why he just let Asthrid grab his hand and pull him in the middle.
She didn’t care who it was, she just wanted to dance with Grant and this was her plan. Mabelle had just returned inside the venue hall and she was shocked by what she saw.
A curve on her lips was seen vividly as she was holding a glass of wine. “Oh, now this is something. Didn’t think she could come up with that idea.” She told herself with an amusement tone as she was watching Asthrid and the guy dance together. Mabelle had a hunch as to what was in Asthrid’s mind.
Now, Asthrid was just waiting for the right moment, this was the dance she was waiting for and now she got it. It must have been destiny. She was leading the guy closer to Grant and the woman he was dancing with, and just waited for the beat to change. After a few seconds, the beat changed. It was now the time to exchange partners. All the women dancing in the middle took their turn to exchange partners to their right. As Asthrid took a full turn, the woman Grant was dancing with took her turn and Grant successfully grabbed her hand.
“Yes! Finally, I am dancing with him!” She thought to herself. She felt victorious now that she finally held hands with Grant. This was the moment she was waiting for. When their hands touched, she felt like she was melting. Alpha Grant’s hands were soft, warm, and soothing to all of her insides. Asthrid’s heart started to throb, her heart was beating so fast as if it wanted to jump right out. She was thinking that she could live for it forever, she was only smiling the whole time they were dancing and she had almost forgotten about their mission. Well, this was the first time that she got this close to the Alpha after all. She just got a little excited and now, she was back in the game.
“H-Hi, Alpha Grant.” She greeted him in a shy tone of voice.
“Oh, hi.” He thriftily greeted her as if he had no interest in her, but he was still smiling out of courtesy. Asthrid couldn’t focus, she could smell Grant’s addictive cologne and she could smell it forever. The Alpha looked really appealing and attractive from afar, but now that she could take a closer look, this was the face that was to die for.
The music started to play slowly once again and everyone on the dance floor was having a romantic dance. The men held their partners on their waist and so was he. Asthrid’s face was crimson red, she felt really hot, but she had to focus on the goal.
