“May I have this dance?” Axel asked as Roza stood up gracefully. She ced her slender hand in his


    palm.


    “Of course,” she replied.


    Under the soft glow of the lights, Axel furrowed his brows. The glint of tears in Roza’s eyes caught his


    attention. Unconsciously, he tightened his grip on her hand, causing her heart to skip a beat.


    Instinctively, she tried to pull her hand away.


    “What’s the matter? Are you having second thoughts?” Axel raised an eyebrow, his tone growing more


    serious.


    “No… But why are you grabbing my hand?” Roza expressed her discontent.


    “If I don’t grab your hand, then should I grab your foot instead?” Axel found her question amusing and


    yfully teased her.


    “You…!” Roza intended to retort, but to her surprise, Axe her slender waist and smoothly spun her


    around.


    Her vision spun, and in the blink of an eye, she found herself with Axel to the rhythm of the music.


    “Were you crying earlier?” Axel asked in a hushed tone as he wrapp his hand around her waist. He


    gazed into her slightly reddened eye


    “Who was crying? I was just tired, yawned a couple of times, and tears came out.” Roza dismissed his


    question, trying to appear tough as she tried to cover up the truth.


    “Oh. I might have misunderstood.”


    “What do you mean you might have? You definitely misunderstood!” Roza responded with frustration,


    clenching her teeth. “Your eyesight isn’t even that great! Otherwise, you wouldn’t have crashed into my


    car.”


    “Oh, I forgot to tell you something,” Axel said casually.


    “What is it?”


    Axel turned gracefully as he spun her around. “After you left, I reported the incident to the traffic police.


    They have confirmed that the ident was entirely your fault, Ms. Walker.”


    Furious, Roza red at him while nervously biting her lips.


    “By the way, the insurancepany will reach out to you tomorrow.


    You don’t have topensate me for mental stress. Just fix my car.”


    With a yful grin, Axel moved closer to her, his face near her blushing cheeks. “Save yourself the


    money.”


    ‘Ugh! How could such a shameless man exist in this world?’


    Roza roared in her heart, wanting to crush his feet with her high heels!
