As Ilya and Adele's gazes met again, she felt the urge to ask him what had happened to that stunning woman who had been with him earlier this night. But she did not open her mouth to ask those questions that were just at the tip of her tongue. Ilya could do whatever he wanted according to their agreement, and she must not pry into his personal business. At all!
"I gave them away."
"Did you?" He mused, his unfathomable eyes seemed to be observing her. At the same time, he seemed to be expecting something else from her. But what… she did not know.
Adele did not rush to speak and just waited patiently for him to start the ball rolling.
But none of them had the chance to continue because loud cheering uproar rang out from the ballroom hall, commanding their attention.
"Let's go," his tone sounded a little cold as he offered her his arm.
The night appeared far from over.
