Chapter 82: First Dance
As we strolled in the grand lobby I could already hear the violin and piano playing along with other instruments, a fine sound it played suiting the atmosphere, By the time we got to the grand spacious Ballroom I gasped, it was breathtaking, I couldn’t take my eyes off the big golden chandelier suspended to the tall ceiling. My gaze fell on the water fountain in the middle, the water gushing out, it was beautiful, the walls still golden, paintings on them gave it quite the view, the ballroom was truly grand.
I was taken in by the view without even realizing the stares on me, well mostly I and Cedric the moment we walked in, I felt so shy was from the stares but being beside Cedric I felt a tad okay, as long as I knew he was there, as some passed us they bow with a welcoming smile, I did too, I couldn’t stop my chest from beating so hard from all the attention, Cedric was a natural in this he didn’t even flinch at the stares, while I was a total mess, my face should be all red by now.
I spotted the ambassadors and their wives, they looked like royalty themselves with the way they were dressed. We made our way towards them.
"Cedric it’s been what days? We haven’t seen you" James said laughing, rubbing his stomach. Camille, his wife, just rolled her eyes at her husband’s habit, I held back a giggle.
Cedric just made a hmm sound, he didn’t seem in as much-talking spirit as he was before, I wonder why the change of mood.
"Lord James, Lord Lawrence, Lord Dalton" I greeted with a bow.
"You look beautiful Lady Sylvia," Lawrence said walking up to me with a dashing smile, he took my hand kissing it, I blushed.
"A very lucky man you’re Cedric, your wife is a sight this evening," James said.
Dalton shivered slightly, he had every right to because the air was suddenly chilly.
