Jonas's hand naturally encircled Yukas's waist.
The girl's body stiffened involuntarily, instinctively wanting to resist, yet realizing that exposing herself at this moment would only lead to greater trouble, she forced herself to calm down.
"Who are you?" The heir of the electronics company lifted his head impatiently to look at Jonas.
Before he could finish his words, upon seeing Jonas's appearance, he instinctively paused. For some reason, he felt as though he had seen him somewhere before. After pondering for a moment, he finally recognized him.
Recalling his own attitude just now, the man's spine shivered slightly, and his tone made a complete U-turn:
"Ha, ha ha, so it's Mr. Jonas..."
Seeing that the other party remained calm, the blond man couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. He chuckled awkwardly and said:
"Since this lady is your companion... then I won't disturb. I'll take my leave."
"You can't leave."
Jonas's words made the man involuntarily pause in his actions, his heart pounding as he looked at this notorious delinquent from District 25.
Seeing the other's indifferent gaze, cold sweat broke out on the blond man's forehead.
Having heard about Mr. Jonas Veitin's unreasonable and capricious nature, today he was clearly unlucky.
Thinking this, he began to regret why he had spoken recklessly just now.
It was at this moment that he saw the calm and indifferent expression of the other party melt away like the first snow, and he smiled and said:
"Alright, just kidding. You can go."
——Playing with me?!
One second he thought the other was about to attack, and the next second it was as if nothing had happened. Although he didn't know if the other rumors were true, at least the fact of his capriciousness was undeniable.
While the man thought this, he dared not continue to meet the other's gaze but simply responded before quickly turning and leaving.
After the heir of the electronics company left dejectedly, Yukas also breathed a sigh of relief.
Feeling that the other hadn't released her waist, the girl's face couldn't help but flush, and she symbolically struggled a bit but couldn't break free.
She looked at Jonas, suppressing the strange feeling around her waist, and said:
"Sir, could you please let go of your hand?"
Upon hearing this, Jonas didn't continue, but released his hand with a smile and said:
"Is this lady here alone?"
Upon hearing this, Yukas prepared to explain her original forged identity, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"I'm just a staff member here, and what just happened was just a misunderstanding."
"Staff member...?" Jonas looked slightly puzzled. "I remember staff members shouldn't be able to attend this banquet, right?"
"I was curious about the scene at the banquet, so I sneaked in..."
At this point, Miss Yukas timely displayed her nervousness and plea:
"You won't report me, will you?"
To be honest, Miss Yukas's acting skills were very good.
In just a few words, she vividly portrayed a girl who longed for the upper class but felt inferior. Her pitiful appearance and ample assets made it impossible for anyone to refuse.
But Mr. Jonas's response was:
"I will."
This made Miss Yukas, who had just organized her words, pause for a moment.
After reacting, she couldn't help but clench her fists, but soon loosened them, somewhat calming the emotions in her heart.
——Calm down, Yukas, stay calm.
If she were reported by the other party, her identity might arouse suspicion from the organizers of the assembly.
And once her identity was exposed, under the circumstances of startling the grass and scaring the snake, the people from the Destiny Organization might act in advance.
At this point, Yukas also took a deep breath, forcing herself to lift her head, biting her lip, and selling her pitiful appearance.
"Is there any way to change your mind?"
Not being swayed by the ample assets on the girl's chest, Jonas smiled and said:
"Of course."
With that said, he leaned close to Yukas's ear and said:
"But it requires this beautiful lady to dance with me."
The breath as he spoke made the girl's ears itch uncontrollably.
Alright, back to square one.
Although unwilling, if she wanted to resolve the trouble, she could only temporarily agree to the other's request.
............
As the lights shone down and soothing music played, the dim lights cast shadows of people dancing on the dance floor.
Jonas gently held Yukas's waist as they swayed to the music.
For the sake of the mission, Miss Yukas had also undergone professional training in social dance. Although it had never been put to use before, at least she could keep up with Jonas's rhythm now.
The intimate gestures between the two made Yukas slightly uncomfortable.
The tingling sensation where Jonas touched her sent shivers down her spine, but physical contact was inevitable in social dancing.
The unabashed gaze from the other party also made Yukas's gaze retract.
Objectively speaking, Mr. Jonas's appearance easily attracted the favor of the opposite sex, and combined with the ambiguous atmosphere created by the dim lighting, the intimate contact between the two, and various other factors, Yukas couldn't help but feel a bit flustered.
As Jonas pulled Yukas's arm back, the distance between them became closer, as if they could hear each other's heartbeat. Yukas subconsciously wanted to push him away but failed.
——Thump thump
Yukas couldn't help feeling embarrassed. She raised her head and glared at Jonas fiercely.
However, the latter seemed to be waiting eagerly, watching the girl's expression with a hint of playfulness.
This made Yukas's emotions cool down as if she had been doused with cold water. Just as she was about to change her expression, she heard the other's voice in her ear:
"Finally dropping the pretense, Yukas?"
Upon hearing this, Yukas's movements paused for a moment, her mind blank.
After reacting, the girl looked at the other person with some astonishment.
Jonas smiled and said, looking into the girl's eyes that reflected her disguised appearance:
"Miss Yukas Amili."
