But Leilani wasn’t surprised. “He hasn’t lit up the lights,” she thought to herself.
When it was dark, Leilani got the chance to get into the presidential palace secretly even if she didn’t receive an invitation letter, but now it was bright, it was easy to be recognized.
Leilani lowered her head down and was going to walk away from Waylen and Rebecca, but the prince stopped her.
At this time, all people turned to look at Leilani. She felt very uneasy and was in a panic.
Leilani tried to be comfortable.
Rebecca and Waylen were standing before Leilani.
Waylen naturally gave a glance at Leilani and then looked at Robert, who was touching his head and didn’t know how to explain to Waylen.
Under the bright light, Leilani could see the mask of Waylen clearly. His mask was decorated with a black hawk with black feathers and beautiful black diamonds. With his black suit, Waylen was just like the Black of the king.
“Miss, who are you?” the man who stopped Leilani suddenly asked her.
Leilani consciously stepped back.
“Mr. Michelle, she was lost. Now I can take her to the banquet hall,” Robert answered for Leilani.
Prince was interested in Leilani and looked at her carefully. Telling from the pink and tender lips, he could imagine how beautiful Leilani was.
“I heard that all female guests are single?”
“Yes, it is a single party,” Rebecca nodded, and then she added with a smile, “Cousin, you want…”
“I am curious. I have never met the lady before.”
Rebecca started to look at Leilani with a smile, saying, “It is true. It is a new look. Cousin, you made the right choice. She looked really wonderful.”
Rebecca turned to her cousin and held him.
Rebecca performed naturally.
Leilani couldn’t make sure whether Rebecca recognized her or not. She stood still and tried to calm down
Rebecca’s funny words made people feel at ease.
Hearing that Rebecca said that Mr. Michelle had a good appreciation, a few men started to laugh evilly. They joke, “As a decent and upright man, Mr. Michelle gets interested in a lady though it is the first time they met.”
Mr. Michelle felt embarrassed. He made a feint of making a fist and coughing.
Leilani felt embarrassed too. She only wanted to escape from here as soon as possible. She didn’t like to be the focus of the crowd and be judged.
At the same time, Waylen was also angry, but he tried to hide his feelings. Robert could tell.
Every word that the crowds said made Waylen angry.
“Mr. Bamford must blame me. In the big presidential palace, I got the chance to meet these guys. What bad luck!” Robert thought to himself.
When Leilani managed to leave, the music fountain which was not far away from there sounded suddenly. It attracted many people.
With the music, the fountain spurted water into the air. Under the colorful light, water shaped into different shapes.
When the music sounded, the fountain spurted water into the air. When the music stopped, water dropped.
It was the music for the beginning of a party. With fun music, people dance unconsciously.
“The party starts. Let’s dance,” Rebecca looked at Waylen and said.
She was eager to dance with Waylen. It was the time to stay with Waylen alone.
Waylen then gave Robert a hint. Robert got it: Waylen wanted him to take Leilani away when they danced.
Here was not Mr. Bamford’s house. It was a dangerous place for Leilani.
Many men and women started to dance next to a pool.
Although everyone wore a mask, they seemed to like to know their partners. People became more close.
Seeing that Mr. Michelle had brought the woman to dance, Leilani became serious and followed.
“Mrs. Bamford…” Robert followed her and whispered, “Now the situation is complicated. There are three groups, including the prince, the president’s wife, and other officials. I am afraid that someone would start a war tonight.”
Robert tried to explain the dangerous situation to Leilani.
Leilani understood what Robert said. Mr. Bamford was the partner of the president’s wife. And everyone was ready for a fight even if the party seemed comfortable and peaceful.
“I understood,” Leilani answered. But she didn’t intend to leave. At that time, a handsome man stood in front of Leilani, saying, “May I dance with you?”
Leilani stopped and found it was Mr. Michelle.
Finding Mr. Michelle was here, Robert was embarrassed. He had to keep silent.
“Sorry. I can’t dance,” Leilani refused. But Mr. Michelle didn’t take his hand back and insisted, “It doesn’t matter. I can teach you.”
“I’m not interested in it.”
Mr. Michelle didn’t give up. He then pulled Leilani’s arms and helped her make a circle. When Leilani was going to stop, she couldn’t stand stable, so Mr. Michelle held her waist with another hand. Waylen and Rebecca were dancing.
When Waylen raised his head and found Leilani was dancing with a man, he was annoyed.
He gradually held his hands tight and frowned.
Luckily, the mask covered Waylen’s lousy emotion. Otherwise, Waylen must look very angry.
Rebecca seemed to find something wrong and raised her head, asking, “Waylen, what’s wrong with you?”
Of a sudden, Waylen regained his consciousness and knew Rebecca was asking him a question. Then he tried to calm down and answered, “Nothing.”
Rebecca slightly raised the corner of her mouth, and her smile faded.
There was melodic music and colorful lights, which attracted many people.
But at this time, Leilani was shocked and got away from Mr. Michelle’s hand, saying, “Sir, behave yourself.”
“You can dance,” Mr. Michelle said. Telling from the way Leilani moved, he found Leilani can dance.
Leilani ignored what he said and turned to look at the dance floor, looking for Jessica. But everyone wore a mask, and she couldn’t see clearly. Leilani was at a loss. She didn’t know what she should do. She shouldn’t stand there alone and do nothing. Moreover, many people came to invite her to dance. It was a tricky thing.
Besides, Mr. Michelle was just like a fly, always following her.
Leilani couldn’t stand and said to Robert, “Dance with me.”
Robert became very anxious and couldn’t stand stable. He almost knelt down and said, “Mrs. Bamford, I can’t dance with you. Dancing with you is just like killing me.”
“Don’t talk nonsense! Dance with me! Quickly!” Leilani held Robert’s cuffs as if they were hand in hand.
Robert was relaxed gradually.
“Are you afraid of me?” Leilani asked. She found there was about half a meter between her and Robert.
“Do you want to know the truth? Mrs. Bamford? Shall I tell you?”
“You don’t have to.”
Robert stopped immediately. He tried to cooperate with Leilani. Soon, Leilani found where Jessica was.
Leilani came to Robert deliberately, but Robert suddenly told her, “Mrs. Bamford, in fact, Mr. Bamford had come to help you.”
“Mrs. Bamford?” Robert found Leilani ignored what he said, and she was looking for something.
“What?” The music was also loud. Leilani couldn’t hear what Robert said clearly. Moreover, Leilani had no interest in listening to what Robert said.
