Chapter 75 Invitation to Dance
Michael confessed his feelings to Kelly.
Kelly, however, decisively rejected him and completely crushed his spirit. She even said she liked Larry.
This statement shocked everyone.
All eyes turned to Larry.
He looked ordinary, dressed plainly, and in this high-end setting, his attire was completely out of place.
The women attending the birthday party were all in glamorous dresses.
The men were uniformly in suits and ties.
However, Larry was in a very plain black shirt.
He was seriously playing Plants vs. Zombies.
At that moment, a horde of zombies swarmed in and devoured his pea shooters.
Larry suddenly shouted in disappointment, "I lost."
Everyone's eyes were on him, and his shout left the whole room stunned.
Larry seemed to sense that people were looking at him, so he looked up and found that the eyes of over a hundred people were on him. He was slightly taken aback.
He touched his head with a puzzled expression.
Larry took out his phone and used the screen to check his face.
"There's nothing on my face," he muttered to himself.
Michael, still kneeling on one knee, saw Larry and felt a surge of anger.
Meanwhile, Kelly chuckled lightly and said, "Michael, come back and pursue me when you can become a man like Larry. Right now, you're not qualified."
Saying this, she playfully glanced at Chloe. "Chloe, you said it yourself, you gave him to me. In that case, I won't be polite."
Under the gaze of many, Kelly walked up to Larry, extended her hand, and with a charming smile on her face, said, "Mr. Bennett, may I have this dance?"
This scene shocked everyone.
Kelly was from the Moore Family of Aurora Citadel, the CEO of the Everlife Group in Sunset City.
She was truly a beautiful and wealthy woman.
And now, such a womanwas inviting Larry to dance.
Everyone was dumbfounded, thinking they must be seeing things, unable to believe what was happening.
Larry was also stunned and didn't know what was going on.
Michael, still kneeling, stood up and walked over with a look of displeasure. "Kelly, even if you don't like me and don't accept my pursuit, you don't have to use such a loser as an excuse to reject me, to insult me."
In his view, Kelly saying she liked Larry and inviting Larry to dance was entirely an excuse to reject him.
"If you had chosen someone else, someone like Mr. Harper from the Pavilion Restaurant, I wouldn't say anything, but you chose him?" Michael looked at Larry, who was sitting on the couch with a calm expression, and said with disdain, "You say he's unflappable? I doubt it. Larry knows his status, knows what kind of occasion this is. He doesn't know anyone here, no one talks to him, so he just sits here playing on his phone."
The stunned crowd suddenly understood.
"So that's how it is!"
"I knew it, the CEO of the Everlife Group couldn't possibly like Larry. She was just using him as an excuse to reject Michael."
Chloe also walked over.
She also realized that Kelly was using Larry as an excuse to reject Michael.
Kelly had spent the whole day shopping with her yesterday, and all the things she bought were chosen with Kelly's advice. She had a good impression of Kelly.
Since Kelly didn't like Michael and used Larry as an excuse to reject him, she blinked her lively eyes at Larry and said, "Larry, what are you waiting for? Ms. Moore invited you to dance."
"Chloe, I..."
"I've already given you to Ms. Moore." Chloe said playfully.
Larry felt awkward.
He thought, 'Am Ian object to be given away?'
"Mr. Bennett..." Kelly also looked at Larry, her beautiful face showing a hint of pleading. "Today is my birthday, will you dance with me?"
Larry looked at Chloe, as if seeking her opinion.
Chloe pulled him up from the couch and placed him in Kelly's hand, saying, "It's rare for Ms. Moore to take a liking to you, go ahead."
Kelly's hand was smooth and delicate.
However, Larry still hadn't figured out what was going on. "Chloe, I..."
"Alright, go ahead, I won't be jealous." Chloe pushed Larry.
Not only was she not jealous, but she was also secretly pleased.
This was Kelly, the CEO of the Everlife Group, Kelly.
Even if she was using Larry as an excuse to reject Michael, it was an honor for Larry, and Larry was her husband.
At this moment, Chloe felt very proud of Larry.
Larry was led to the dance floor by Kelly.
The music started.
Kelly extended her hand, one arm around Larry's shoulder, the other around his waist, and she was almost pressed against him.
Meanwhile, Larry was completely stiff.
At this moment, he was a bit nervous.
Kelly was too beautiful, with delicate features, fair skin, and a pleasant fragrance.
Now she was almost pressed against him, and his heart was racing.
Even when facing many enemies, Larry had never been this nervous, but now, facing a woman, he tensed up.
Kelly rested her head on his shoulder, holding him, her head almost leaning on his shoulder.
Her body swayed with the music.
This scene made everyone envious.
Even Chloe couldn't help but feel a bit jealous.
Soon, the song ended.
Kelly, being considerate, led Larry back to Chloe, placed Larry's hand in Chloe's, and said, "Chloe, thank you."
"You're welcome." Chloe was flattered.
However, Michael was very unpleasant.
He had straightforwardly confessed his feelings.
Kelly had publicly rejected him and even danced with a loser, using Larry to insult Michael.
Not only did Michael think this way, but everyone present thought the same.
They all believed that Kelly dancing with Larry was a complete rejection of Michael, telling him that she would rather dance with a loser than with him, making him give up.
In the lounge area, on the couch, Larry looked at Chloe innocently. "Chloe, what's going on?"
Chloe reached out and tapped Larry on the forehead, saying, "Don't really think Ms. Moore likes you. She was just using you as an excuse to reject Michael's confession."
"Oh, I see." Larry suddenly understood.
Larry looked around.
At this moment, he sensed many unfriendly gazes.
These people were all Kelly's suitors.
Kelly was the woman they deeply admired, and now she had invited a loser to dance. They all hated Larry, especially Michael.
He clenched his fists, veins bulging on his face.
Michael's classmates, knowing he had been rejected and was in a bad mood, wisely didn't disturb or flatter him.
As for the unfriendly gazes around him, Larry smiled faintly, indifferent.
Not far away, in another lounge area, Kelly sat on a couch, legs crossed, revealing her fair, long legs. Her gaze was fixed on Larry, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration.
This was Black Dragon.
When she was in Aurora Citadel, she had heard of Black Dragon.
She had idolized Black Dragon and never thought she would meet him in Sunset City, one of the Five Great Marshals, and even dance with him.
However, Larry seemed a bit shy.
Kelly thought of the earlier dance, Larry's stiff body, and a charming smile appeared on her beautiful face.
An unexpected event did not affect the continuation of the birthday party.
It was only 9:00 a.m., and many important figures had yet to arrive.
As time passed, more and more people arrived to celebrate Kelly's birthday. Even the Lewis family showed up.
A few days ago, the Lewis family had lost all their dignity and became the laughingstock of Sunset City, so they had been keeping a low profile.
However, after receiving an invitation from Kelly, the Lewis family became proud again, feeling they were still a prestigious family.
After all, even the CEO of the Everlife Group had sent an invitation to them, which could easily made them delusional.
Victor entered happily with his son Harry, grandson Oscar, granddaughter Julia, and grandson-in-law Luke.
He leaned on a cane.
The sound of the cane hitting the ground drew quite a bit of attention.
Seeing it was Victor, many people became eager for a spectacle.
