Chapter 1094 Provocation (1)
Rose took the gift box with both hands and gratefully looked at Mr. Gomez standing in front of her.
"Mr. Gomez, thank you," she said.
"Miss Russell, you are the lucky one tonight at our banquet. Now please show us your wristband and display your number," Mr. Gomez replied kindly.Despite the recent commotion caused by old Mr. Harper, he did not look down on Rose.
Throughout his life, Mr. Gomez had done many good deeds and had met all kinds of people.
In his eyes, Rose was a kind person and a good girl. If old Mr. Harper could not appreciate her, it was his loss!
The next second, Rose looked puzzled at him and asked, "What is this for?"
"Your number has been drawn as tonight's lucky one! And there will be a corresponding number on your wristband to match with your dance partnerchosen randomly by the system.”
Mr. Gomez smiled even wider as he continued, "The future belongs to young people so I followed suit! Miss Russell, please dance with your matchedpartner for tonight's opening dance.”
Rose locked confusedly at him with shock written all over her face.
She won the draw but now she had to perform an opening dance?
What kind of luck was this?
She pursed her lips and lowered her head to look at the number on her wristband - 72!
Rose blinked twice before saying softly, "My wristband says 72."
"Miss Russell, go find your dancing partner!" said Mr. Gomez kindly while looking like he was enjoying watching everything unfold before him.With slightly flushed cheeks, Rose walked down from the stage.
Elliot who stood below it wearing a faint smile on his lips while looking determined.
His number was 72, and tonight he would be Rose's dancing partner!
Elliot felt proud knowing that they would be performing together for the opening dance of the night!
He watched as Rose approached him step by step feeling like everything was under control because she belonged only to him!After stepping off from stage, Rose turned towards guests, asking warmly, "Who is 727?"
After hearing the voice, Elliot was about to speak when Lawrence, who was standing nearby, flashed his wristband and spoke in a smooth voice thatrang out among the crowd. "I am number seventy-two."
As Lawrence spoke, he walked towards Rose and showed her his wristband."Rose, it's an honor to be your dance partner.”"I'm honored too," Rose said with a slight smile on her lips.
For a moment there, she thought Elliot would be her dance partner. Thank goodness it wasn't him. Although she felt relieved that the person wasn'tElliot, there was still some disappointment deep down inside of her.

'Damn them all! They switched my wristband just so they could dance together for their first dance! I can't let them get what they wanted!
Elliot's lips were pressed tightly together as the temperature around him dropped several degrees suddenly. Just when he was about to go over andstop Lawrence and Rose fram dancing together, old Mr. Harper gestured Madeleine over to distract Elliot.
Madeleine nodded knowingly before walking up to Elliot while smiling sweetly and taking hold of Elliot's arm.
