Chapter 234: Okay?


    "Am I? I just got a bit too excited, sorry about that" Sofiya said as sheughed sheepishly.


    "It''s not a problem, we were just getting a bit too loud," Nancy said with a low voice and Sofiya nodded her head in understanding. She had indeed gotten too excited for a second when she heard that Nancy was friends with the person she looked up to.


    "I understand. I''ll try to keep it down. So ho did youe to know Laura?" Sofiya asked curiously and just like that the two women began chatting animatedly with each other. They talked for so long that they were surprised when David and Michael returned.


    "Did you forget that we came here together?" David asked Nancy as he grabbed her hand and pulled her next to him.


    "I actually did for a second" Nancy said as she naturally slipped her hand through his elbow.


    "I''m a bit disappointed, I had my eyes on you the whole time," David said with a serious face but was actually teasing her.


    "Is this how you maintain your image? How can you say something so cheesy with that expression?" Nancy asked whileughing.


    David turned his head to look at her and Nancy choked on herughter her face turning three different shades of red.


    "Have you been drinking?" David asked when he saw her flushed face.


    "I''ve barely had a ss," Nancy said with a pout that elicited a smile from David.


    ''"Don''t make that expression when we''re in public." David said after clearing his throat


    "Why?" Nancy asked with wide eyes making David smile once more.


    "Don''t make that expression as well" David said as he used his other hand to stroke her fingers that were holding on to his arm.


    "Why?" Nancy asked again in confusion.


    "Just don''t," David said.


    "Is it ugly? Do I look weird" Nancy asked confusion still clearly written on her face.


    "I won''t be able to keep myposure if you keep doing that, just do it when you are alone with me" David whispered in her ear. Her face visibly turned so red that it looked like blood would drip from it.


    "What do you think he is saying to her?" Sofiya asked Michael who was looking at everything else that was happening in the venue.


    "Eh?" Michael answered distractedly.


    "Never mind," Sofiya said while rolling her eyes. She had forgotten who she was with for a second. Her oblivious young brother wouldn''t be able to hold a proper conversation with her, especially since she found gossip more interesting than discussions on business deals.


    If anyone asked her why she decided toe with Michael it is because he did not have a girlfriend and their other two sisters were "too busy" so she became the sacrificialmb.


    "Can''t you be a bit less serious? I feel like I''ll die from boredom" Sofiyained as she lightly tugged at Michael''s suit jacket.


    "Well, I''m technically working right now" Michael answered without looking at her.


    "You don''t have to be so diligent. Nothing will go wrong, if something goes wrong, the staff here is skilled enough to deal with it without your assistance" Sofiya said in response. If her older sister was around, she would have been lectured for trying to lead Michael astray.


    Michael turned to look at his sister as if he was contemting whether he should just ditch her somewhere or if he should continue apanying her in the party. Sofiya knew exactly what he was thinking at that moment and she rolled her eyes in frustration.


    "Fine, I''ll stop nagging. At least for now" Sofiya said and finished her wine in one huge swallow before recing her ss soon after. She knew she would die from boredom if she stayed sober.


    Meanwhile, Nancy was feeling tempted to go outside to take a break. She had never thought that David would be the type of person who would say cheesy lines, especially with a straight face.


    "How can you''re expression not change after saying something like that?" Nancy asked as she lifted her head to look at.


    "Did I say something wrong?" David asked innocently. In his defence, he was just expressing himself and wasn;t actively trying to embarrass her.


    "Forget it. If you don''t know it means that it wasn''t intentional" Nacy answered.


    "Eh?"


    "Don''t think about it, okay?" Nancy as she used her other hand to pat the arm that she was leaning on.


    "Okay?" David agreed even though he still did not know what he said wrong. Nancy could already feel that the night was going to be a long one. She could only sigh her grievances. David looked at her once more in question but she was distractedly looking at her ss so he did not see her expression.
