When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1451 Swallowing Her Frustrations

At this moment, Lysanna wished she could slap the dance teacher a few times, but she dared not, knowing the teacher had a manager husband backing her up.

Lysanna could only swallow her anger and pin all the blame on Aurelia, who was performing on stage.

Fine, very well! You dared to play dirty behind my back? I'll make sure you regret it! Lysanna seethed inwardly, grinding her teeth.

Aurelia was oblivious to all of this. She didn't know the lance teacher, out of spite, had made Lysanna waste days practicing for a performance, only to turn her into a laughingstock.

On stage, Aurelia moved gracefully, like an angel who had descended to earth. Her enchanting dance quickly caught the attention of several businessmen seated below. "Who's the lead dancer? She's stunning and has a great figure."

"That's one of our employees-her name's Cecilia Smith," the manager accompanying them quickly replied

"Oh, I see. Once she's done, have her join us for dinner one of the businessmen said, his tone laced with Hewdness.

The manager didn't hesitate. "Of course. I'll call her over once the performance ends"

The dance ended rather quickly.

Cecilia finished her routine, enduring the pain as she moved gracefully through her performance. Finally, she stepped off the stage, only to be intercepted by the manager.

"Ms. Smith, a few of the bosses are very impressed with your talents. They'd like you to join them at their table for a meal," he said tactfully.

Cecilia wasn't naïve. She immediately understood his implication.

Politely but firmly, she refused, "Thank you, but I'd prefer to stay with my colleagues. Besides, I'm not much of a talker. I wouldn't want to offend anyone accidentally."

But the manager wasn't about to let it go. "Come now, what's there to be afraid of? You're so beautiful. Even if you said something wrong, these big shots wouldn't get upset. Trust me."

He leaned in closer, lowering his voice. "And if you make a good impression, I'll see to it that you're made permanent. I guarantee your performance bonus will be substantial."

Before she could argue further, he forcibly dragged Cecilia to the businessmen's table.

Cecilia had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit among them.

In the far corner, at the employees' table, many of her colleagues witnessed the scene.

Lysanna sneered. "I told you, didn't I? She's still single at her age because she's hoping to latch onto some wealthy big shot. Does she really think someone like her could marry a big shot?"

too much credit. Someone like her would settle for being a mistress and count herself lucky!"

The entire table erupted in laughter, shamelessly mocking Cecilia.

Meanwhile, Cecilia sat at the businessmen's table, reluctantly toasting them while feigning politeness. The men, captivated by her elegant demeanor and stunning features, couldn't take their eyes off her. One even acted inappropriately.

When Cecilia poured wine for them, the man grabbed her hand firmly.

"Why let such a beauty pour us drinks? Here, let me do it for you," he said, squeezing her hand as he spoke

Cecilia frowned and immediately withdrew her hand.

"There's no need, Mr. Whitaker."

Furious by her rejection in front of the others, Keelan Whitaker scowled.

"What? You're not giving me any respect here?"novelbin

Unbothered by his reaction, Cecilia calmly poured the wine and said, "Enjoy your meal, gentlemen. I'm full and will excuse myself now."

Cecilia had sought this job to keep herself busy and independent without relying on Nicholas, but she wasn't about to tolerate this kind of harassment.

The manager had no idea Cecilia would act this way. He immediately stopped her.

"Cecilia, what's your problem? Can't take a joke?"
