A Graduation Gift

Chapter 195 A Woman of Easy Virtue (Part One)

Rufus seemed indifferent and danced gracefully with Amanda, matching her every step. However, the subtle tension evident on his face and cold eyes betrayed his true feelings.

The moment the last note ended, he withdrew his body contact with Amanda in a swift motion and started for the exit.

"Where are you going, Rufus?" Amanda asked quickly in a low voice.

She grabbed his arm in a futile attempt to stop him, surprised by his sudden retreat.

"Let go of me, you hear me?" Rufus replied passively.

He cast a soul-piercing glare at her and Amanda felt her hairs stand up under his icy gaze. Rufus had been tolerating her meddling the moment she appeared unexpectedly. He restrained himself like a proper gentleman would, but if she continued to make a scene, he couldn't predict what he would do next.

Amanda's heart skipped a beat as if an invisible hand squeezed it painfully. Powerless to do anything, she loosened her grip and just watched him fade away from her sight.

When he was dancing with Amanda moments ago, Rufus noticed from the corner of his eyes, a figure who went out the side exit that led to the small garden outside. He had an idea of who it was.

Flowers bloomed beautiful in small patches, and their fragrance blanketed the small slice of Eden. Even the full moon in the sky couldn't compare to the spring-feel of the garden.

Under the nearby flower tree, a petite figure stood alone. The silk flowers embroidered on her pink dress amplified the flowers blooming on the tree. One could easily say she was the Goddess of Flowers.
