Chapter 548. End of the Party
Mauve watched Jael walk up the podium with a slight raise of his brows. He stopped in front of her and stared intensely.
"Welcome back," Louis said. "I simply said to go interact with a few Lords but you ended up having more fun at the party than the rest of us. I never would have believed you could dance."
"You know I can dance," Jael accused, his gaze never left Mauve as he spoke.
"Maybe but I assume it was knowledge you’d never have to use," Louis replied. "Well at least not in this manner."
"It was my pleasure to disappoint."
"Well, I hope it was worth it," Louis smirked.
Jael shot a look at Louis, not missing the vampire’s insinuation, and then looked back to Mauve.
"Mauve," Jael called.
Mauve tried to smile but faltered. She tried again. "You’re a really good dancer."
"Thank you," he replied, his eyes watching her closely. They roamed her face as though he was looking for something.
Mauve tried to compose herself, it was just a dance. There was no reason to act as though she had caught him in bed with another woman.
