Chapter 133
Audrey felt guilty about Adrian's apology.
But Bryson remained calm as if he took it for granted to take someone else's partner on the stage just now. He didn't feel guilty at all.
Audrey glared at Bryson and then smiled at Adrian.
"It's fine, Mr. Duran. It's just a dance. Don't worry yourself about it."
"You're right. But this is the first time I danced with you, Ms. Audrey, and I made such a mistake. I'm really sorry." Adrian took all the blame.
Adrian's apology only made Audrey feel guiltier, but she couldn't tell the truth.
"Mr. Duran, it is what it is. Don't blame yourself anymore."
"Next time..." Adrian stared at Audrey and said solemnly, "Next time, I will not make such a silly mistake. So, would you give me a chance to make it up? In a few days, my company will hold an annual meeting. I'm always the first one to dance, so..."
Alma's eyes lit up. She took the opportunity to urge Audrey, "Elliana, Mr. Duran is making a sincere invitation for you. Just say yes."
If Adrian and Audrey could be together, Kylee and Bryson would be grateful for Alma's help.
Audrey kept silent.
Today's dance was crazy enough. How could she dance with Adrian at the annual meeting of his company? Did she lose her mind?
Of course, Audrey understood what Adrian and Alma meant by their words. They wanted to fix her up with Adrian.
Anyway, Adrian was the host of today's party, so she didn't want to embarrass him too much.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Duran. But as you can see just now, I'm not good at dance. I might only embarrass you. It's better to find another partner." Audrey refused tactfully.
Adrian knew that it was a rejection, but he didn't give up.
"Ms. Audrey, if you're worried about your skills, I can teach you. That's not a problem." Adrian said anxiously.
Audrey was a perfect beauty. Any man would be crazy for her if they saw her. And Adrian was no exception. He was also impressed by Audrey at the first sight.
After spending a short time with Audrey, Adrian found that Audrey was special compared with other women. She was calm, graceful, cultivated, and had good taste. She deserved him. The longer he stayed with her, the more he was fascinated by her.
Audrey didn't know what to say.
She hoped Adrian could let her go. Because Bryson was still sitting beside her.
Bryson was unpredictable. And he was the jealous type. If she accepted Adrian's invitation, Bryson might do something terrible.
Although Bryson still looked very calm now.
Audrey cleared her throat.
"Well, Mr. Duran, you know, I'm a lawyer. I've been busy and I don't have time to learn to dance. So, please have someone else be your partner. I'm not the one for you."
"I see." Adrian looked disappointed.
Audrey felt relieved.
"Yeah. You should find someone else rather than me." Audrey hoped he could give up.
After pondering for a moment, Adrian added, "You don't need to dance then. You can just watch me dance."
Audrey was speechless.

There was no other way. She had to play her best card.
Audrey suddenly stood up and walked to Alma. Adrian watched her in a puzzle.
Alma did not know what Audrey was going to do. Suddenly, Audrey bent over, and Alma subconsciously moved backward. Audrey held the back of Alma's head with one hand and then lowered her head unexpectedly.
Audrey suddenly kissed Alma's lips. Alma immediately pushed Audrey away in shock.
Smiling mischievously, Audrey raised her eyebrows and looked at Adrian who was in shock.
"Mr. Duran, do you understand why I am not the one for you now?"
Adrian was too shocked to anything.
Alma was also in great shock.
Bryson couldn't give a word.
Everyone here was stunned.
Adrian seemed to be frightened. He got up from his seat and got out of Audrey's sight.
Seeing Adrian leave, Audrey was relieved.
Audrey looked at Alma guiltily, "Miss Alma, I'm sorry. I just..."
Before she could finish her words, Alma hurriedly got up and sat down on the other side of Bryson. She took Audrey as a freak. And she looked pale as if she was molested.
Audrey was speechless.
Alma did not need to be afraid at all.
Although Audrey deliberately made the kissing movement to drive Adrian away, she didn't truly kiss Alma. She blocked Alma's lips with her hand. It was a trick that made others think it was a real kiss. But Alma should be clear about it.
Maybe Alma was shocked by what she said just now. Alma might think that Audrey was a lesbian.
Although Audrey's action was bold, it worked.
Audrey noticed that the men who wanted to chat up with her had all turned their gazes away from her.
Finally, she could enjoy quiet time.
Audrey sat down with satisfaction. No one chatted up with her until the end of the party.
When the party was over, Audrey changed her fancy dress.
Alma had been trying to get close to Audrey so that she could get close to Bryson. But she did not even say goodbye to Audrey when she left. Before leaving, people at the party looked at her as if she was a monster.
Audrey didn't care about what people thought at all. She walked through the crowd and went to her car.
After she was back in the car, she waited for Bryson for a long time. Audrey guessed that Bryson must get tied up with the guests because he rarely attended a party like this.
When they were in the hotel, many people came to them to get to know Bryson. Her handbag was filled with business cards handed to Bryson.
Audrey waited in the car for more than half an hour before she saw Bryson walking towards her. On his way to the car, there was still someone who stopped him to greet him.
After the person left, Bryson headed to the car again. He opened the door of Audrey's side to get in, but Audrey quickly moved to the other side.
