Chapter 124 - Dessert Zone equals Love Zone (1/2)
Beth didn't want to go to the party, she was only a little girl of thirteen years old that had never attended such a high-class event. She had seen it from afar before, but she never thought that she would be once invited.
The few last birthday parties were held in some other place, a luxurious hotel, or the island from the family. So she stayed in the mansion with her parents without tiring herself.
The old grandpa Mills had invited before, but she rejected with the excuse of the school. However, this time she didn't have a choice but to attend.
Her parents were delighted when they saw the beautiful blue gown Master Mills had gifted to her. It was beautiful, she looked like a princess. Her hair was carefully combed with soft waves on the back, making the eye-catching hair more outstanding than before.
”Who is she?” the words of Frank came as a hypnotized whispered. His eyes were fixed on the cute little girl that was now the center of attention of the party.
Even if it was for teenagers, they were schooled into behaving like mȧturė kids from the beginning. They were no running around, but they were casually speaking and waiting for the spectacle to begin.
There was always some kind of show to entertain the guests, and it was always amazing. They couldn't wait to watch it.
However, that was not all, Master Mills would always force Henry to invite one of the girls to sit beside him to watch the show. Every year was a different girl, and they only watched the show together.
The indifferent little boy would always stay shut, not a word could come from his cute little mouth. So the girls would always return with sad faces.
Now, every year, they will wait to have the opportunity to approach him. They would even dress in something near the color of his suit.
”Beth…” Henry whispered and was about to walk towards her when he saw someone already moving to her.
It was his idiotic friend Frank that was already shyly asking her name from her lips.
”May I know your name, my lady?”
His face was so red that he looked cute. Beth couldn't help but smile at the boy that was bowing as if he were some kind of knight.
”My name is…”
”What are you doing here?!”
The voice of Henry interrupted her introduction and moved to grab her hand and pull her towards him.
Beth didn't know what to say. She would always feel the need to hide her words from him. Even her smile was not showing anymore.
”Who let you inside? Answer me!”
The other boys and girls had never seen Henry that angered, even the ȧduŀts around looked strangely at the young master. They had praised him before for being so mȧturė and well-behaved, and so, they were surprised to see him react that way.
”I was invited by Master Mills,” Beth said with a small voice. ”Can you let go now?”
She struggled from freeing her hand, but the little boy didn't let her. He won't let her go anywhere for the rest of the event. It was not safe.
”Stay put,” he sighed and pulled her from her hand.
She didn't say anything and let him lead her around.
”Henry?”
The two boys, Frank and Cedric, looked at each other and followed Henry. They had never seen Henry behave like that towards any girl. Even touching their hands gave him the creeps and put him on bad humor.
So… there must be something special in that girl.
”Hey,” Frank stopped in front of Henry with his arms extended, ”She hadn't told me her name yet.”
Henry glared at him, ”there is no need. Now move.”
However, before he could walk forward, a soft voice with a small whisper entered their ears. It was so beautiful and melodic that Frank couldn't help but blush again.
”My name is Beth, you can call me Beth,” she smiled and extended her other hand to greet the boy.
However, Henry didn't let her by pulling her again with him.
Frank, on the other hand, was stunned and almost brought to his knees.
”Frank? Hey!” Cedric pushed him and shook his shoulders. However, the boy was now smiling foolishly and without reserve. He now looks like a perfect little fool.
