Chapter 105 Asher danced with Brittany
As Asher spoke, he walked towards Nora step by step with a steady pace, reached out to her elegantly and politely, nodded slightly, and said, "May I?"
Looking at the man like a king in front of her, Nora was slightly in a trance.
Asher asked her to dance on such an occasion and she simply could not refuse him.
"Of course." Nora smiled softly and graciously put out her hand in Asher's.
Asher led Nora to the dance floor.
With the melodious music, Asher and Nora danced in the middle of the dance floor.
It was the first time they had danced together, but they danced together flawlessly as if they had been partners for years.
Asher looked down, his deep eyes fell on Nora's face, and he asked with a placid expression, "Nora, are we working well together?"
Nora nodded, "Well, it's okay. If you were a little slower, we would have danced better."
Asher's thin lips suddenly came close to Nora's ear and he whispered, "That's not what I'm talking about."
His warm breath sprayed on the skin of her cheek and tickled her a little.
Nora's face burned somehow.
Indeed, she and Asher were very much in tune with each other.
A lot had happened in the past month.
Sarah had framed Nora for pushing her into the water, and Nora had found a recording to expose that Sarah had done it herself, while Asher had found the video and given Sarah the final blow.
It was the same at the press conference this afternoon. In the face of Marilyn's accusations of plagiarism, Nora had invited Nana to prove that she was the original creator of "Ice and Fire", while Asher had found out that Jerome had sold the design to Marilyn.
The two of them worked so well together that it was as if they were born to have a mutual affinity.
Nora smiled and admitted, "We do work well together."
Asher's eyes softened as he said, "Since we fit together so well, would you like to reconsider my previous proposal?"
Asher's proposal...
Nora's heart skipped a beat as she looked into his eyes, which were as deep as the ocean.
She knew what he was talking about.
Fitting well together was one thing, being the right person was quite another.
A man who could not stop thinking about another woman in his heart was not suitable for her.
Thinking of this, Nora smiled gently, "Don't you think it's too inappropriate to mention that on this occasion?"
"Is that so?" Asher raised an eyebrow and asked rhetorically.
Nora said coldly, "Of course. Besides, I have made it very clear to you before. Mr. Hawn, you are not that forgetful, are you?"
Asher's face went sullen all of a sudden, his eyes filled with frustration, and he said nothing more but simply continued dancing without expression.
This man... was angry again.
How petty.
Nora sighed in her heart and quickly kept up with Asher's rhythm.
Watching the eye-catching couple in the middle of the dance floor, Brittany's eyes were filled with uncontrollable jealousy.
Asher invited Nora to the opening dance in public, which was the same as acknowledging Nora's relationship with him and brought Nora into the spotlight!
What kind of magic did Nora, a country bumpkin, have that could bewitch Asher?
"Brittany, don't worry about it. Nora won't be in the limelight for long." Seeing Brittany's indignant expression, Lany comforted her at the side.
Brittany looked away from Nora in the middle of the dance floor and said through gritted teeth, "That's right. Nora, I'll see how long you can enjoy yourself!"
At the end of the song, the party officially began.
Asher was the one that everyone tried to butter up, surrounded by all the people at the party, and he responded in a cool, indifferent, and polite way.
Asher drank a few glasses of wine, and when he looked up again, Nora was nowhere to be seen.
Nora didn't actually like such a lively occasion, so she found a corner and sat there.
She was about to get some pastries for herself when suddenly a magnetic voice said, "Nora, can I sit down here?"
Nora looked up and saw that it was Julian.
"Feel free to do so." Nora said indifferently.
Julian sat down next to Nora and turned sideways to look at her, "Nora, I haven't finished talking about the plan of Star Entertainment last time."
Last time, he and Nora had made an appointment to discuss the plan at the restaurant but had been interrupted by Asher who had suddenly appeared.
"Well, send it to me by e-mail and I'll check it out when I have time." Nora picked up the orange juice on the table and took a light sip.
Julian suddenly changed the subject, "Nora, can I ask you a question?"
Nora nodded, "What do you want to ask?"
"Is it really just a contractual relationship... between you and Asher?" Julian asked with his eyes somber.
Julian could tell that Asher was not simply in a contractual relationship with Nora.
Nora smiled and said, "What else could it be?"
Julian was pleased by Nora's answer and asked, "So, you have never been in love with Asher?"
In love with Asher?
It was a question that Nora had been avoiding all along.
In fact, at this moment, Nora herself could not say clearly what kind of feelings she had for Asher.
But there was one thing that Nora knew very well, that was, the person Asher loved was Mia.
Nora pressed her lips together as she thought about it. She said calmly, "No, I am not into Asher, and he and I have only a contractual relationship, that's all."
Asher's tall figure was hidden in the dim light.
He looked all around for Nora, only to see Nora and Julian sitting on a couch in the corner.
He walked over to them but heard Nora's dismissive voice.
"I am not into Asher."
"He and I have only a contractual relationship, that's all."
Asher walked forward with a cold face, looking down at Nora, "Nora, repeat what you just said."
Nora was stunned. Why was Asher standing in front of her without a sound?
Had he heard what Julian and she had just said?
Nora smiled lightly, "Sorry, I don't like to say things twice."
Their eyes met and Nora felt the low pressure from Asher. The air seemed to freeze at this moment.
At that very moment, Brittany walked over on her heels and said charmingly, "Asher, can I have a dance with you?"
Asher was silent for two seconds before he nodded his head and said coolly, "Yes."
"Asher, would you really like to dance with me?" Brittany couldn't believe her ears and her tone was full of ecstasy.
Asher had agreed to dance with her! She wasn't dreaming, was she?
Asher smiled slightly as he thought about that night when Nora had gotten jealous because she had misunderstood that he and Brittany had been together.
He looked deeply at Nora and then stepped onto the dance floor with Brittany in his arms.
