Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1538

On the stage, ever since she ran into Quill, Waverly felt as though she got entangled with him. The more she wanted to get rid of him, the more they bumped into each other several times over. In that round, Waverly felt as though she had spent 70% of the dance with that man!

To their surprise, they had great chemistry the more they danced and managed to make it till the end.

When the last note of the music faded away, Waverly hooked Quill's neck. Their last pose was from tango, so their bodies were close, their breathing intertwined, their postures ambiguous. Before she could react, a burst of warm applause and a familiar cry came from under the stage.

"Miss Waverly, Miss Waverly! The first place! Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! You're

awesome!"

The noise struck her to regain her composure as their gazes met. Waverly's expression was awkward, but she couldn't bring herself to force a laugh. Across from her, Quill was obviously engrossed in the scene. His gaze seemed to indicate that he could yet break free from the mesmerizing dance.

At that point, the host's impassioned voice came from the stage.

"Congratulations to the No. 23 beautiful lady for winning first place and being elected the Flower Empress today. Green leaves bring out the shine of red flowers. Now, let's invite her closest partner to present the award to her. At the same time, the partner wins the gold leaf award! Thank you for your support shown toward our activity! According to our rules, all the Flower Empresses who won the first prize have the opportunity to dance with the world's top dancer, Mr. George. We're all looking forward to more surprising performances and dancing skills from you two. Please take a break. There are lots of surprises waiting to be unrevealed..."

Receiving the award, Waverly was pleased with the exquisitely packaged golden rose. It was not because of how expensive the rose was, but because she had won it through her hard work. There was an extraordinary meaning to it.

When she was a child, she had been forced to learn a lot of skills. Meeting the eyes of the crowd, it was the first time Waverly resonated with the benefits of acquiring different skills.

As soon as the host dismissed her off the stage, she scanned around the venue before rushing in Xena's direction.

She strode down the stage in a hurry. Suddenly, a scornful voice came from behind her. "Hey, young widow, it's not proper to leave like that after receiving the award!"

It was the second sentence from Quill that night, with a completely different tone.

With a chill running down her heart, Waverly's body visibly stiffened as she slowly turned around. Before Waverly could speak, her eyebrows had long been knitted together.

She had assumed him to have not recognized her or turned over a new leaf. It seemed that she had overthought!

With a shrewd light flashing through her eyes, Waverly could not help the twitching of the corner of her lips. He must have been going after the golden rose in her hand! Was it why he could temporarily turn her, an enemy, into a friend for the sake of benefits?

Just when she was at a loss of how to explain or respond, a sharp and familiar voice sounded from behind her, "Look at you. How could your mouth be so poisonous?"

Xena strode forward with anger flaring in her eyes. Her slightly plump body shielded Waverly as she fiercely stood straight with her chest puffed up.

"I think you must have been dumped by a young widow, have you not? No wonder! Who else should she dump other than you, a venomous snake? You're so full of yourself! What gentleman are you pretending to be?"

Xena turned around and wrapped her hands around Waverly's arm, saying, "Let's go! Ignore this psycho!"

As she spoke, Waverly was pushed away from the scene. The corners of her mouth were slightly hooked as her eyes couldn't help but shine with a warm and gentle light. When they came to a stop, Xena remained to grumble in displeasure.

"Who is it? Is there something wrong with his brain?”

Withdrawing her gaze, Waverly handed over the golden rose in her hand. "Calm down. Here, cheers to our most heroic Miss Yeva!"

"Wow! Beautiful!"

"I didn't expect to witness such a performance on such an occasion! This dance is so exciting!"

"Haha, just be honest if you've set your eyes on the little beauty. What's the point of so many excuses? Alas, but for real though, with such an enchanting young lady's hands snaking through his body, guess how he feels?"

"What do you think?"

"Haha ..."

"It's sweet torture! With such a beautiful dance partner, watching the scenery during the day and having fun on the bed at night. Isn't that more enjoyable than living the life of deities?"

The crowd joked as their gazes were lost in the distance. Wyatt's cold lips pursed into a tight line.

At the end of the song, Waverly gave a slight bow to express her gratitude. At the same time, the man bowed to plant a gentle kiss on the back of her hand. They were like princes and princesses in fairy tales, drawing the last perfect sentence under the dazzling light.

After stepping off the stage, Waverly was about to leave when a man in suit and leather shoes blocked her way. "Beautiful Flower Empress, do I have the honor to invite you to a dance?!"

"Sorry, I'm a little tired!"

As soon as Waverly turned around, another man blocked her way. Upon raising her gaze, she saw two similar faces, one on the left and one on the right, blocking her way as if they were guarding the door.
