Leo, oblivious to the moment, straightened his jacket dramatically. His expression turned playful as he extended his hand toward Sarah, his voice carrying over the music. 

“Beautiful and lovely Ms. Sarah,” he declared with exaggerated gallantry, “may I invite you to a dance?” 

Sarah raised an amused brow but couldn’t help the small chuckle that escaped her lips. Leo, ever the 

entertainer. 

“Of course,” she said, accepting his invitation. “I should say it’s my honor.” 

As she placed her hand in his, Leo led her onto the dance floor with a confident stride. 

Across the room, Cole’s eyes darkened. His fingers twitched slightly before he turned to the woman before him. Wordlessly, he extended his hand, a silent acceptance of her request. 

The music swelled, and the room pulsed with movement. 

Sarah and Leo danced effortlessly, their rhythm seamless. 

Leo had always been an easy partner–graceful, controlled, and never overbearing. He spun her with precision, and she followed with practiced ease. 

Sarah’s poise did not go unnoticed. She moved with an unspoken elegance, her every step light yet 

deliberate. 

Whispers floated among the onlookers. Admiration, curiosity, and perhaps even envy. 

By the time the song neared its end, a small circle had formed around them. 

The center of attention was not something Sarah had sought, but she carried it with quiet confidence. 

A few guests, emboldened by the atmosphere, stepped forward, hoping for a turn with her. 

But Leo, his grip firm yet gentle, declined them all with an easy smile. 

“Not tonight,” he said smoothly, his voice laced with amusement. Yet beneath it, a flicker of something deeper–possessiveness, perhaps? 

Meanwhile, the shifting of dancers on the floor had closed the distance between them and another familiar figure. Arnold. 

Sarah, lost in the moment, had not noticed–until a voice interrupted.

“Mr. Leo, a different partner?” 

Sarah turned her head slightly and met Arnold’s gaze head–on. 

His expression was unreadable, yet his eyes held a certain knowing glint, as if he had predicted this exact 

moment. 

Leo, standing beside her, frowned. 

He was already searching for a way to decline Arnold’s request when Arnold, without hesitation, handed off his female companion. 

It was a deliberate move. 

The girl, suddenly released, lost her balance, and if Leo didn’t catch her, she would undoubtedly fall. 

With no other choice, Leo instinctively reached out, gripping the woman’s waist to steady her. 

His jaw clenched in irritation. He knew what Arnold had done–forced his hand. 

At the same time, Arnold’s arm wrapped around Sarah’s waist, seamlessly pulling her onto the dance floor. The transition was so smooth that it almost seemed pre–planned. 

Sarah barely had time to react. One moment she was standing with Leo, the next she was being led 

across the floor by Arnold. 

Her immediate instinct was to push him away, but he anticipated it, tightening his hold just enough to 

keep her close without making a scene. 

“Let go,” she hissed under her breath, her body tense. 

Arnold remained unfazed. His steps were fluid, guiding her effortlessly with practiced precision. “Why cause a stir?” he said smoothly. “Everyone is watching.” 

She glared at him but didn’t fight further. She had no desire to draw more attention. Instead, she exhaled 

sharply and demanded, “What do you want?” 

Arnold didn’t answer immediately. He led her into another turn, his grip firm but not aggressive. “When are you taking Alex’s call?” 

Sarah blinked, caught off guard by the sudden shift in topic. “In a couple of days,” she replied curtly. “I’m too busy to take him out or cook for him right now.” 

Arnold hummed in acknowledgment, his steps never faltering. “I see,” he said, as if contemplating something. “And how have you been?”

Sarah’s lips pressed into a thin line. She saw through his casual tone–this wasn’t mere politeness. He was testing her, probing for something. 

“Fine,” she said coolly. 

He chuckled, his hold on her loosening slightly as the song neared its end. “Still as cold as ever,” he mused. 

She didn’t bother responding. The moment the music stopped, she stepped back, putting immediate distance between them. Without waiting for another word, she offered a quick curtsy, signaling the end of the dance, and strode away. 

Leo was already approaching, his expression dark with frustration. “Sorry,” he said, his voice tight with apology. “I shouldn’t have let go.” 

Sarah shook her head, unconcerned. “If I were you, I’d also choose to catch the girl who’s in danger of falling.” 

Her response was blunt, but truthful. There was no point in dwelling on what had already happened. The rest of the evening passed without further entanglements. 

Neither Sarah nor Leo returned to the dance floor, nor did they cross paths with Arnold again. As the night stretched on, they eventually bid farewell to the host and took their leave. 

The Next Day: 

The morning air was crisp as Sarah and Leo arrived at STARLINE Studios. 

A light breeze carried the faint scent of coffee and pavement, the city slowly waking up around them. The glass doors of the building reflected the golden hues of the rising sun, giving the entrance a polished, 

almost surreal glow, 

Neither of them expected to see anyone unusual so early in the day, but as they approached, two familiar figures stood near the entrance, their presence immediately altering the mood of the morning. 

BETA Cody. And Linda.
