Carson also felt very helpless. Once women started gossiping, no one could hold them back. With only two women, plus Danica who occasionally interjected to reminisce the past, it was already noisy enough. In the end, he could only gaze sympathetically at Frederick.
After all, such a situation was common in the past. Qiana had done this inadvertently, and if Frederick actually cleared things up and scolded them, it would be a little too much. That would basically mean that he was slapping Danica in the face.
Carson tried to stop the conversation several times but to no avail.
Alicia's mind was in a mess. The sudden impacts cone after another and she had completely forgotten to react.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the other hand, Marshall just frowned, feeling a little strange. This atmosphere was too weird! But apart from a dry laugh, he didn't know what else to say; he couldn't even talk about leaving.
It wasn't until Victoria rushed over that everything was halted. "Alicia, what are you doing? I've been waiting for you for a long time! Wow, two dolls! Perfect, we'll take one each!" Without being considerate, Victoria pointed to one of the dolls in Alicia's hands and said, "Give this to me!" Only then did she gaze at the rest of them. She knew both Frederick and Carson but she had barely talked to them before. As for the rest of them, they looked familiar but she didn't know their names. After nodding at them in greeting, she felt that the atmosphere was slightly off. She then looked away and grabbed onto Alicia's arm. "Have you guys finished talking? Alicia, there're a lot of fun things to do over there! We're all waiting for you, stop chatting now, let's go!" As Alicia cback to her senses, she smiled stiffly. "Okay!" Immediately, Marshall also said in a hurry, "I still have friends here, we'll leave first then!" Victoria then took the bag containing the dolls from Alicia's hands and pulled her away. "Let's go!" After they've walked a distance away, Victoria lowered her voice.
"What's the matter? Did you offend speople? Just now, those two men who stood on both of your sides are two of The Four Great Masters in Casterwich City. They are Frederick and Carson! How amazing! I've seen them several times but I had always been with others when I met them, therefore we barely know each other! Did anything happen? Why do you look so down?" "No, listening to them chattering and talking about famous brands was so boring!" Alicia randomly found an excuse. She had been in a complete mess but fortunately, Victoria had cover to pull her away. Otherwise, she really didn't know how long the torment would last. Alicia hadn't been doing anything but she felt extremely fatigued.
Because of the previous event, Alicia had to perform on stage. She gave herself a pep talk before selecting a cheery and upbeat song. Since she had been in East Bannpool before and she was a dancer herself, she could easily find two other dancers and they naturally moved to the beat as soon as the music started. On top of Alicia's beautiful looks, her sexy moves attracted the attention of all under the flashing lights.
Victoria cheered and shouted for her under the stage from tto time. "You go, girl!" Frederick had already seen Alicia dancing before but his attention was still fully captured by her. Her stage presence cnaturally and everyone screamed in excitement at every single movement of hers. It had originally been arranged that Alicia would perform first, then Qiana, and finally Danica. However, the two of them were extremely shocked. Not only was Alicia extremely beautiful, but she was also a natural at performing. Even though speople regarded her dance as cheap moves, she still captured their attention.
One single performance had almost outperformed the climax of the previous event, making the atmosphere extremely lively. As the manager walked past, he smiled in disbelief as he shook his head. He waved a waiter over and gave him an order.
After a while, the waiter held a large bouquet of roses and handed them to Marshall.
The music was coming to an end. In fact, Alicia was in a daze throughout the song. The movements had all been muscle memory. It wasn't until roaring applause sounded that she reverted from her daze. Just then, Marshall walked over to her and handed her a large bouquet of flowers.
"You are the best!" Taking a step forward, Marshall gave her a big hug. From the audience canother round of enthusiastic screams and whistles. Frederick's gaze froze and his expression fell. If looks could kill, everyone in the room would've been finished off by his deadly glare.
Similarly, the expressions on the others' faces also fell.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKaylee's eyes darkened and Danica almost hurt her fingers from clenching her fists. Both of them had guessed who Alicia was, therefore neither of them clapped throughout the entire performance. Carson didn't do so as well because he knew that he would be done for if he praised Frederick's girl right in front of him! Qiana was still clueless but a glint of jealousy flashed across her eyes. She even offered a compliment with a hint of sarcasm.
"Who would've known that she would be so talented! Marshall is so lucky to have such a beautiful girlfriend!" Zaydon, who had been immersed in the performance, was obviously still in a daze. "It was indeed very charming..." When he realized what he said, he quickly added, "I'm talking about her dance!" Even so, Qiana pinched him a little unhappily. With a smile, Zaydon hugged her.
"Your ballet is still comparatively more elegant! How could she ever perform on an actual stage with moves like that?" Upon hearing that, Frederick gave him a sidelong glance.
Soon, it was Danica's turn and she chose to play the piano. Even though she played very well, not many in the audience knew how to appreciate it. She was obviously slightly out of place in a nightclub, thus the entire venue was clouded in silence as she performed. The people who had surrounded the stage even started to leave, making it very embarrassing. Frederick didn't pay attention to her at all, hence Carson could only pay the waiter and ask for a bouquet of roses to be sent as well.
After walking around, Frederick finally found Alicia who had been lost in the lost in the crowd. As soon as he stopped in his Ν. tracks, several of his friends cover and greeted him enthusiastically.
On the other hand, after stepping down from the stage, Alicia was in a mess and she could ca bear it anymore. After giving Victoria one of the dolls, she bid everyone goodbye. "I'm a little tired. I think I'll leave now!"
