Gloria stood at the top of the stairs and looked down at the raucous cheers of the crowd. She was a little excited, but also a little nervous.
Then, her gaze found Mag in the crowd.
She was like a boat drifting in the wind and rain that had suddenly found a lighthouse in the dark, and her nervous heart was immediately soothed.
A relaxed smile appeared on her face, and she raised her chin slightly as she walked down the stairs in a graceful and calm manner.
"Th … Th … Impossible!" Cyril looked on with an incredulous expression as Gloria made her way down the stairs. In his memory, she was a little girl who always wore a hood over her head and sat in a corner without saying a word. When had she become such a confident woman?
On top of that, the calmness that Kieran displayed at such a moment made Kieran feel like he saw another Hill.
He had initially treated her as a joke, but she had suddenly become the person who could control his fate. This sudden sense of urgency made it difficult for him to accept.
"If this dress is from her own clothing store, then she must be an interesting opponent. Even I can't help but want to have a custom-made red one." A faint smile appeared on Hill Hill's face as he looked at Gloria, but it was as if he were staring at his prey and his opponent.
"It's Big Sister!" Mickey yelled with excitement as he raised his hand and waved at Gloria.
"It really is her; she's our daughter." An elated expression also appeared on Debra's face, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes at the sight of Gloria's smile. She covered her mouth, and it was unclear whether she was laughing or crying.
"Alright, the children are all laughing; why are you crying?" Lance gently wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his embrace with a smile, but for some reason, his eyes were also slightly red.
A rare smile appeared on Geoffrey's face, but it quickly faded.
"President, is this Professor Lance's daughter?" Michael asked with a smile as he looked at Geoffrey.
"Yes, she is." Geoffrey nodded in response.
"She's much prettier than Professor Lance; she looks like his wife. Perhaps she'll be the next Hill." Michael chuckled.
"Compared to that little girl from the Buffett Family, she's still a far cry." Geoffrey shook his head.
Michael looked at Geoffrey and said with a smile, "If you ask me, you should learn from that old man Ian. Look at him. He's been fishing and walking his birds every day. He's living such a carefree life. Are you planning to work until you die?"
"As you can see, my son is still useless. If I retire, Moreton will fall." Geoffrey shook his head, his expression unchanged.
Michael only smiled when he heard that, but he didn't say anything else.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Gloria. The women were eager to know where they could buy such beautiful clothes, while the men were reluctant to look away from such a beautiful woman.
Gloria walked into the banquet hall just as the music of the dance began to play. Everyone was curious as to who her dance partner would be.
All of the men adjusted their clothes to make themselves appear as gentlemanly as possible before extending invitations to Gloria. However, all of them were rejected by her with a smile, including the son of the deputy city lord and the son of the ambassador from Rodu, Ian.
"Mr. Meg, may I have the honor of dancing with you?"
Gloria made her way over to Meg with a smile, but her hands were trembling slightly as she held onto the hem of her dress.
"Oh! How is that possible? Young Mistress Gloria is inviting that man to dance! "
"My God! Who is this man? Could it be that he's a prince of the Roth Empire? "
"This man's luck is so good that it makes me jealous!"
"Is there anything special about this man aside from his good looks?"
The crowd was in an uproar. The men were green with envy, while the women began to ponder deeper questions.
"I don't know how to dance." Meg scratched his nose with an awkward expression. He knew how to dance in the modern world, but he really didn't know how to dance in this world. Alex didn't have any memories of it, either.
The men heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"I can teach you," Gloria said to Meg with a faint blush on her face.
"Good luck, Father." Amy clenched her little fists as she encouraged him.
"I'll keep an eye on Amy." Luna smiled at Meg before nodding at Gloria. She then held onto Amy's hand, and turned away with a hint of disappointment in her heart.
This man is a huge obstacle. Should I get rid of him? Camilla held the black cat in her arms as she looked at Meg's back with furrowed brows.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Meg smiled as he extended his right hand to Gloria.
Ballroom dancing was a necessary skill in high society. Since such a beautiful girl was willing to teach him, there was no reason for him to refuse.
He liked it when those men were unhappy with him but couldn't do anything to him.
Gloria looked at the slender hand and hesitated for a moment. She then reached out her left hand and gently held onto Meg's hand.
It was a big, warm hand, like a furnace. The heat from it made her blush even more. She took a step forward and lowered her head slightly as she whispered, "Please put your hand on my back."
"Okay." Meg's expression was gentle and calm. He didn't seem to be affected by the cat in his hand. He put his fingers together and gently placed them on Gloria's back. However, he didn't actually touch her back. He was only about an inch away.
Gloria looked up at Meg in surprise. She praised Meg's gentlemanly action in her heart, but at the same time, she felt a little lonely.
The guests danced on the dance floor under the melodious and soothing music.
Gloria guided Mag, and he began to practice the most basic dance steps. He slowly began to follow the beat, and soon, he was able to follow the rhythm of the music, and dance softly and gently.
"It's quite similar to modern ballroom dancing. There are only a few differences in the basic steps. After learning it, it's not difficult at all." Meg sighed in his heart. From being led by Gloria to flying with Gloria, it only took about ten minutes.
Meg felt the envious and murderous gazes around him as he danced more and more happily.
After the song ended, Gloria was panting slightly as she pressed her hand to her chest. She looked at Meg in disbelief and said, "Mr. Meg, have you really never danced before?"
The others looked at Meg in disbelief as well. They all believed that Meg was deliberately trying to take advantage of Gloria.
"It's my first time dancing. Perhaps, this is my talent." Meg shrugged.
"Shameless!"
The same word jumped in everyone's heart at the same time.
"You're really a genius." Gloria looked at Meg with admiration.
This time, Meg felt a little guilty.
"You're Mr. Meg from Amy's, right? I wonder if I can have a cooking duel with you? "
