As Michael left in a hurry, Sophia felt perplexed and sat next to the dance floor, staring blankly ahead.

A drunk Stanley staggered over. “Sophia, what happened? Where’s Michael? Did he run away with some wild woman?”

She sat there in silence.

“Let’s go, let’s go! Want to dance?” Stanley pulled her hand.

Sophia continued to ignore him. Then, Stanley pulled her again. “Come on! Let’s go and grab a bite, then!”

Sophia shoved him roughly. “You’re so annoying! Go away!”

Stanley huffed angrily, “Hmph! I was just trying to comfort you because Michael’s ex-girlfriend had insulted you, but it seems like my efforts are not being appreciated! I’m angry now, and I’m not going to forgive you easily!”

Sulking, they turned their backs against each other and ignored one another.

Sean rushed over to smooth things over. “Stan, Sophia must be feeling frustrated. Why don’t you leave her alone while we go and have some drinks over there?”

Sean patted Sophia’s shoulder lightly as he put his arm around Stanley and walked away.

 

Sophia ordered a hot drink and drank slowly as she watched the crowd dance on the dance floor.

As the crowd danced away happily, she began to calm down. She knew that being jealous was pointless; the fact was that Lucy was better than her in every way.

She would continue to feel frustrated by constantly comparing herself to Lucy, and she refused to allow herself to live in jealousy forever.

Meanwhile, Lucy and Linus were having such a great time talking; it almost felt like they had known each other for centuries. Lucy’s first impression of Linus was so good that she thought of him as the type of man that was worthy of her. Besides, she liked men that were younger than her, for they helped to fulfil her need to dominate.

While they were heading toward the dance floor, Linus was about to ask Lucy for a dance when he glanced over at the lonely silhouette at a corner. He changed his mind and said apologetically, “The dance floor looks quite lively tonight. You should go and enjoy yourself, Miss Edwards. I’m afraid I have to go and greet the other guests now. Please forgive me for my poor hospitality.”

Even though Lucy was disappointed, she nodded her head and watched Linus walk away.

Lucy looked around the dance floor as she was curious about the identity of the guest that had Linus left her for. To her surprise, he walked toward the lonely silhouette at the corner of the dance floor.

Although there were dance invitations from the other male guests, she declined them all without hesitant.
