Charlton did not have ti, then I need to excuse ain idened eyes Tears started to pool in her eyes "I' irritated but at the sa that the lady was 4 years his junior, and the younger sister of his colleague he apologized "I apologize Lady Annalys for my callousness But what is it you wanted to tell me?"

Lady Annalys felt her breath hitch Charlton was so nice, he even apologized to her even though she's the one as kinda annoying Taking courage, she took a deep breath and finally said, "Lord Daniel, the next song, you signed your name beside it in my dance card So…" She said to re before theirs was about to end, she decided to follow hiht Still, he wanted to give an excuse, but before he could, someone came to interject in their conversation

"Lady Annalys, I'entleman, he would not leave his nuht Charlton?" Geoffrey asked in a cheerfula bit jovial

When the song he was dancing to ended, he immediately decided to exit the ballroom to follow Serena and Charlton He didn't knohat his plan was other than finding them to see what they would be up to He had a man stationed just by the exit so he would knohere Charlton and Serena were

Coincidentally, as walked nearer to the exit, he saw that Charlton was just by the door talking to Lady Annalys When he reached them, he was just in time to hear her words

Immediately, another idea came to mind Why not he finds Serena instead? Wouldn't it be funnier to see her surprised face that instead of her lover it's him that she would meet?

Also, he was sure that Charlton would look for her too later Why not let hi position?

Charlton had no choice but to acquiesce Besides, with Geoffrey staring at hio find Serena that instance? He could only hope that she won't be angry at hi late

"Yes, indeed" Charlton said to reply to Geoffrey's question Then, he turned to look at Lady Annalys again He smiled as he asked for her hand "Lady Cross, shall we?"

Lady Annalys' face bloomed like a flower "Of course, Lord Daniel" She said as she placed her hand in his, then she looked at Geoffrey to give hihness Thank you Please, excuse us"

Geoffrey gave them his permission with a nod

When the talked away, he walked outside When he was out of view from the people inside the ballroohness, the lady took a right at the end of the hall"
