Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot
Chapter 1474 - Chapter 1474 367 Overthinking _2

Chapter 1474: 367: Overthinking! _2 Chapter 1474: 367: Overthinking! _2 “Hmm.” Norma Augus nodded.

On the other side, Mr. White’s heartbeat restored itself.

He is in a good mood now.

Who doesn’t like to dance with the Isaudade in their heart?

Speaking of which, he should thank Norma Augus. Without her, he probably would never have the chance to dance with Viola Thompson in his lifetime.

With this thought in mind, Mr. White went up to Norma and extended his hand, “Miss Augus, may I have this dance?”

Why Mr. White invited Norma to dance.

Firstly, to thank Norma.

Secondly, to avoid any suspicion.

If he only dances with Viola during the whole banquet, it will definitely stir up gossip.

After all, Viola is engaged to be married.

No matter what, he can’t let Viola become the subject of speculation.

So, after some contemplation, Mr. White decided to ask Norma for a dance.

Watching Mr. White who initiated the invitation to dance, Norma’s heartbeat accelerated, her heart almost jumped out of her chest, she couldn’t even believe what was happening in front of her.

She, she was actually being proactively approached by Mr. White.

What does it mean for a man to initiate a dance with a stranger woman?

It means that man takes interest in that woman.

Or else why would he invite her to dance without any reason?

Everything has a reason.

And the reason Mr. White invited her to dance is that he likes her.

Norma couldn’t have imagined that Mr. White was genuinely attracted to her.

If it weren’t for Mr. White standing in front of her right now, Norma would never believe this to be real.

Viola had been defeated by her after all.

With these thoughts in mind.

Norma’s heartbeat quickened even more.

Thump, thump.

One beat after another.

Norma’s face turned even redder as she placed her hand in Mr. White’s, “Yes.”

She tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart.

She can’t let Mr. White see her true feelings.

After all, what men cannot get is the best.

She wanted Mr. White to experience the pain of chasing his wife.

Wasn’t there a saying?

Ephemeral satisfaction over tormenting one’s wife, eternal torment over chasing one’s wife.

Soon, the two walked to the middle of the dance floor and started to dance to the rhythm of the music.

The two were very close.

They could smell each other’s scent.

Norma held onto Mr. White’s hand tightly, so closely that she could smell the faint scent of sandalwood exclusive to Mr. White.

It smelled nice.

Mr. White could also smell the perfume on Norma.

It’s not like the refreshing smell of orchids.

There’s a very obvious chemical and synthetic smell here.

It’s not unpleasant.

But it’s not special either.

After all, this is the perfume scent that any woman carries.

Also, dancing with a strange woman is a very torturous thing.

There’s no elation, nor a pulsating heartbeat.

Instead, it’s a torment.

A soundless torment.

At this moment, Mr. White just wanted to finish this dance as soon as possible.

The waltz’s rhythm was neither fast nor slow.

It lasted for seven minutes.

Those seven minutes felt like an eternity for Mr. White.

Finally, as the waltz came to an end, Mr. White quickly let go of Norma and said in a low voice, “Miss Augus, you dance very well.”

The moment Mr. White let go of her hand, Norma’s heart seemed to fall into the emptiness.

But feeling empty doesn’t mean feeling desolate.

She understood why Mr. White let go of her hand so quickly.

He was avoiding suspicion.

People in high positions always hide their intentions very deeply.

They didn’t want outsiders to casually see their preferences.

Norma kept a polite smile on her face, looking at Mr. White, “You dance very well too.”

Flora Tiarks, standing aside, frowned slightly.

She didn’t like Norma, and naturally didn’t like Mr. White asking her to dance, so she immediately went over, “Uncle!”

“Hmm?” Mr. White slightly turned his eyes to look at Flora.

Flora grabbed Mr. White’s wrist, “The air quality is not good here! Let’s go there!”

Having said that, she pulled Mr. White along.

The air quality is not good?

Of course, Norma knew that the problem wasn’t the air quality, it was just that Flora didn’t like her.

But what could that do?

Mr. White is a man with his own judgment, and he won’t abandon his feelings for her just because of Flora’s nonsense.

For people of Mr. White’s age, falling for a girl is not an easy thing.

They are calm, patient, composed, and successful.

Either they don’t fall in love, or once they do, they can’t pull themselves out.

In front of Mr. White, Flora is just a yellow-haired girl.

Maybe, Flora might end up serving as an adhesive to increase their bond.
