Chapter 147 - 145: Spring Ball III

"Hey" Geoffrey greeted

Charlton was surprised What did Geoffrey need? "Hey" He greeted back

"Have you filled in any lady's dance card yet?"

Charlton felt his heart lurch Don't tell hiht he was about to say

"Not yet… Why?"

"would you asted Did he coed to ask Geoffrey to ask hi Charlton's expression Thankfully, he kne Charlton saw Serena based on their conversation last time If not, he would not feel settled

"I kno you feel about her, but she's really a good person Besides, it's just one song"

If Geoffrey really kne he felt about Serena, he doubts that he would be asking him to dance with her He does not know if the words he said during their carriage ride together was a blessing or a curse He had different intentions that time, but he had no idea that it would have this effect instead

Feeling that he had no choice but to oblige, he asked, "Which one?"

"The song you sang together"

If Charlton had any doubts, noas positive that it was Serena who asked Geoffrey He had to give it to her, she really kne to find ways to get soh it's the waltz and I prefer her not to dance it with anyone else, if it's you, then it's okay Besides, I know its commercial value and that everyone would prefer the two of you dancing to that"

Charlton was no idiot not to read between the lines Geoffrey was giving him a reminder It's okay that it's hiuilty How could he betray his cousin like this? Aside fro? She even used Geoffrey Was this just a game for her?

In the end, it's not like he had a choice It was Geoffrey asking and he had no valid reason to say no

"Alright"

After the opening remark, Geoffrey went to join Serena and he handed her dance card back Serena felt nervous as she opened it When she saw Charlton's narin She stopped herself lest Geoffrey notice Then she looked at the rest She took note that she would only need to dance 8 times Thrice with Geoffrey, tith Leonard, once with Charlton, Artemis and Diether Her dances were spread apart 5 dances before the intermission, and 3 dances after

"I hope that you find your schedule satisfactory" Geoffrey said He was not sure if she's okay with the nuh she did say that she doesn't want her card full, he still felt that he li her in the arms of other ave him a smile Satisfactory indeed

Geoffrey srand march, he asked for her hand

Serena placed her hand in his and he led her to the very front to lead When it ended, they took position for the first quadrille Then, when that was done, Geoffrey led her to sit at one of the empty chairs Then, he sat beside her

"you're not dancing?" she asked All she wanted was for him to leave her alone
