A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Leila felt a wave of disappointment course through her heart but she did her best to hide it. Wearing a beautiful smile, she said, "Can I ask you something?"

"What is it?" Zac said, raising his eyebrows.

"You are never serious about your relationship with Essie, am I right?" Deep down, she worried about his answer.

Taking a sip of the champagne, Zac fell silent for a while and said coldly, "I have no feelings for her nor did I ever have one." Zac had always been a good liar. From the way he spoke, one would have thought he was speaking about a valueless thing.

Leila sighed with relief.

'I knew it!' she thought to herself. He couldn't fall in love with a simpleton like Essie. Even if he had sex with her, it probably meant nothing. He did it to meet his physical needs.

"Come on, Zac. Let's dance. I haven't danced with you for a long time." She started to move like a flying butterfly.

Zac nodded slightly, took her hand and walked onto the dancing floor.

A piece of wonderful music rang. It was a waltz.

He gently embraced her. As soon as his hands touched her body, Leila felt happy. She enjoyed his company. Her beautiful dress began to spread like rose blossom petals.

However Zac's mind was elsewhere. His thoughts had drifted away into another space. In it, Leila was replaced by a little figure. This little figure, Essie, was capable of both making him sad and happy.
