Chapter 1472: 366: Slap in the Face Hurts! Astonishing Everyone (Second Update)_1 Chapter 1472: 366: Slap in the Face Hurts! Astonishing Everyone (Second Update)_1 People.
Only through comparison, can their merits and demerits be distinguished.
With her graceful dancing as a precedent, should Viola Thompson fail to dance, she would certainly become the laughingstock of the evening.
Mr. White would surely never fall for a vase, incapable of even a simple social dance.
After all, Mr. White is noble, his wife thus naturally can't be too poor.
Thinking about this, a smirk appeared on Norma Augus's lips.
If she was Viola, she would tactfully find an excuse, then have her and Mr. White dance this pair dance.
Of course, this would only be the case if Viola were smart.
If she's a fool, then she's going to embarrass herself.
This was the brilliance of Norma Augus.
Because for Viola Thompson, who couldn't dance,
She was faced with only two situations.
First, bravely dance with Mr. White, and then embarrass herself in public.
Second, cede the opportunity to dance with Mr. White to her, and then shine in front of everyone.
No matter which choice Viola makes, it will be very beneficial for her.
Among the crowd, Phoebe Perryne smiled at Norma.
She just knew it, her daughter wouldn't be too bad.
At this point in time, Viola was in a difficult situation, and she had to see how she would get off the stage.
After Norma's speech, Grace White was not sure how to pick up the conversation.
Because she doesn't know if Viola can dance or not.
Secondly, she never thought that Norma would suddenly shift the topic to Viola.
As Grace was in a dilemma, Flora Tiarks began to speak with a smile, “Miss Augus admires Vio's dancing so much, then Vio should naturally consent. Isn't that right, Vio?”
With these words, Flora looked at Viola.
Flora has always been one not to suffer in silence, she was able to accept Norma's proposal so readily because she knew that Viola could dance.
If they refused, wouldn't that allow Norma to succeed?
Therefore, at this moment, they should agree firmly.
Upon finishing her words, Flora looked at Norma, her eyes full of provocation.
Norma didn't expect that Flora would unexpectedly become her own aide.
Viola didn't agree, but she did it for her.
If it's this way,
Then Viola must embarrass herself.
Norma sneered in her heart.
This Flora, she's so stupid to the extreme.
Hearing this, Viola gave a faint nod, “Sure, I just wonder if I can have the honor of dancing with Mr. White?”
She threw the question to Mr. White.
Flora smiled and turned to Mr. White, “Mr. White, you surely won't disappoint Miss Augus, will you?”
Mr. White walked up to Viola, stretched out his hand very gentlemanly, “It would be my honor to invite Miss Thompson to dance.”
Viola stretched out her hand and placed it on Mr. White's palm.
The two of them walked into the center of the dance floor together.
The music sounded.
Mr. White held her hand with one hand and his other lightly on her waist, not daring to exert force or make any unnecessary movements. No one knew how nervous he was.
But in front of others, in front of Viola, he had to pretend to be calm.
Calm.
Mr. White's heart was pounding.
But the problem wasn't big, because the two of them weren't close enough to hear each other's heartbeat.
During the dance, he could hide his nervousness with his movements.
What he needed to do now was to be calm.
Just a girl, right?
What is there to be nervous about!
After some hesitation, Mr. White finally asked, “Viola, how about we dance to Jitterbug?”
Jitterbug?
Viola raised her eyebrows slightly. Jitterbug was a relatively difficult dance style in social dances. Although she was proficient at it, she hadn't danced it for a long time.
But that's not a problem.
“Sure.” Viola's tone was light.
With the sound of rhythm starting, the two began to move in the center of the dance floor.
The rhythm went from slow to fast.
Viola was wearing light high heels today.
It was specially changed to match today's dress.
She usually wore it very rarely.
Combined with the fact that she hadn't danced in a long time, she couldn't keep up with the rhythm and was momentarily absorbed. She almost stepped on Mr. White's foot and fell to the ground.
They were the only couple in the center of the huge dance floor.
So, everyone's attention was on them.
Seeing this scene, everyone laughed quietly.
The whispers started.
“I've heard that Miss Thompson is from the countryside, where would she have the chance to learn these things?”
“She dances much worse than Miss Augus.”
“If I were Viola, I would find an excuse not to go on stage. It's better than embarrassing myself here.”
“Without comparison, there would be no harm.”
Flora frowned slightly.
Norma's face was filled with delight, but she disguised it well. Looking at Grace next to her, she pretended to be upset, “If I knew that Miss Yi was unable to dance, I would never have suggested her to dance this third dance with Mr. White.”
Grace frowned slightly, she regretted it too. Today was her birthday party, and if Viola was ridiculed because of this, she would also feel extremely guilty.
After all, this matter not only arose because of her, but also because of Flora. If it wasn't for Flora, Viola wouldn't have gone on stage to dance.
What should we do now?
Just at this moment,
The music became more and more urgent.
At this point, Viola had slowly regained her feel, caught up with the dance, and performed the complex moves as if floating on the clouds. Her dance was extremely beautiful, like a fairy dancing in a flower sea.
Not one moment earlier was Norma being praised for her graceful dancing, but at this moment she was ousted.
Because the two were not even on the same level.
Not to mention Norma,
Even tournament dancers had to step back several steps in front of Viola.
“Woah! Mom! Look! Vio is so cool!”
Flora was stunned, her eyes wide open, almost unwilling to blink.
While she knew Viola could dance,
What Flora didn't know, was that Viola could dance so well.
Moreover, it couldn't be described by the word 'good'.
This second.
Nearly everyone's eyes were on Viola.
Seeing Viola in the center of the dance floor, Grace was also a bit stunned.
She didn't expect that Viola, who almost fell down just a second ago, would in an instant dance so brilliantly.
It was as if she was dreaming.
When the song finished, the hall erupted in deafening applause.
All the glory and splendor of tonight's banquet was seized by Viola alone.
“Good!”
“Indeed, it is Miss Thompson.”
Even though it was a couple's dance, Viola managed to make everyone overlook Mr. White dancing with her.
Such was the charm of a successful dancer.
Looking at the dazzling Viola, Norma took a step back, her back breaking out in a cold sweat, “No, it can't be!”
She proposed to have Viola and Mr. White dance together, not because she wanted to see Viola shine!
But now.
It was clear that things were now beyond Norma's budget.
