Chapter 20 Danger

• Diane narrowly kept her balance as the applause turned into cries of surprise with occasional chuckles here and there. The lights were already on in the room at this moment, and all eyes were on her as everyone waited for her to choose her dancing partner.
• Diane’s palms were already covered in a cold sweat. Now that things had come to this point, she could only brazen it out, but who could she turn to? She didn’t know how to dance at all; when she looked around, she found that nearly all the branch office’s male colleagues around her already had female companions. Besides, she didn’t know any of the other colleagues from the headquarters, so what should she do?
• She could sense the gloating looks directed at her, and Stella’s smug and cocky face was right before her eyes. When she was suddenly faced with such a predicament, she felt like an ant that had fallen into a pot of scalding hot oil.
