329: Marcus On the Move

Marcus On the Move

The last romantic song ended and the band played a lively party song for Disco. Matthew and Sophia were still on the dance floor when Marcus approached them.2

"May I have my date now?" Marcus said, extending his hand to Sophia.

Matthew looked at him with complicated emotions on his face. He was reluctant to let go of Sophia. But he had no choice. Marcus was Sophia's date tonight. He just borrowed her time.

Taking a deep breath, Matthew shifted his gaze from Marcus back to Sophia.

"Thank you for this dance. May you enjoy the rest of the night," Matthew softly said to Sophia, patting her head.

He gave her a gentle smile before allowing Marcus to guide her out of the dance floor. Matthew sighed deeply seeing Sophia and Marcus walking away from his spot.

He left the dance floor and went back to join Tristan in the corner stage. Tristan was wearing a gloomy expression while he was watching Zhen-Zhen and Grandpa who were still dancing on the dance floor.

He tried to approach them a while ago as he wanted to dance with his wife. But Grandpa Lu ignored him thus sending him away, not allowing Zhen-Zhen to be with Tristan.

Because of that, Tristan was now in a foul mood. He had the urge to snatch away his wife from Grandpa Lu. Too bad, he couldn't make a scene there.

"Your wife will melt if you continue looking at her like that," Matthew teased Tristan.

Tristan shot him a cold stare. "Shut up, Matt. You are just lucky because you were able to dance with your crush tonight. So how is it?"

Matthew was just about to reply when Tristan cut him off immediately.

"Oh, forget it! I already know just by looking at your vibrant face. Argh… I'm jealous! Why can't grandpa allow me to be with my wife? I think he is intentionally pissing me off? Is he getting revenge on me? If he does then he is succeeding," Tristan complained to Matthew.

Matthew could only shake his head and look at him helplessly.

"Hmm, just be patient. Your grandpa will get tired soon. Come, let's grab some drinks for a while," Matthew said, inviting Tristan to go to the bar counter where assorted alcoholic drinks and beverages were being served.

Tristan could only sigh deeply before agreeing to Matthew's suggestion. Soon the two of them walked towards the bar counter and sat down on the available seats in front.

Meanwhile, Marcus tried to invite Sophia to go to the Queen's Hall. He was about to do the bet.

"Sophia, there are lots of people here, the music is so loud. We can't talk properly. Do you want to go outside and take some fresh air?" Marcus asked Sophia. They were sitting at one of the tables.

John, Lester, Jade, Nyka, and Emma were secretly observing Marcus and Sophia. They were anticipating Marcus to make his moves and implement their plan.

Sophia peered at her surroundings. Everyone was having fun on the dance floor, dancing and swaying with the lively Disco Music. 

The band took a rest for a while. The invited DJ took the lead. The disco lights in the venue were switched on. Sophia was not used to this very loud environment. So Marcus's suggestion was good.

"Ok. Let's go out for a while," Sophia said, smiling at Marcus.

Marcus's eyes lit up when he heard her response. He immediately stood up, gently grabbing Sophia's hand as he guided her towards the exit.

"Uh oh, Marcus is on the move," Lester said, chuckling.

"Ok, let's wait… we will follow them after five minutes. We have to ensure that no one will pass through the Queen's Hall tonight," John said, a sly smile appeared on his face.

"What shall we do?" Nyka asked them curiously.

"Yes, what can we do to help you?" Emma also asked them.

 Lester turned to Nyka, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Just enjoy the night and wait for a good result."

"Maybe after an hour, we will be able to record a nice show. It depends on Marcus," John watched Marcus and Sophia until they vanished from his sight.

"Hey, why are you silent? Are you not excited about this?" John asked Jade as he noticed that she was unusually quiet today.

Nyka and Emma let out a soft giggle. 

"Maybe she's on her monthly period right now," Nyka said, teasing Jade.

"That's true. She's been like this for an hour now," Emma also commented.

Jade just rolled her eyes at them. "Leave me alone. Just make sure that this plan will work out to lift my mood."

"Don't worry, my Queen. Your brother will do well. It seems like he also wants to claim Sophia's first. If he didn't agree then I should be the one in his place right now," John reassured Jade.

Jade just bobbed her head.

Nyka and Emma stood up, pulling Jade. 

"Come on, girl. Let's dance. Don't waste this party because of your foul mood. Let's enjoy the night!" Nyka said enthusiastically.

"True. Don't ruin everything. Something good will happen tonight." Emma said, consoling Jade.

They were clueless about what was the main cause for Jade's tantrum tonight. But they won't allow it to ruin their good night.

Jade didn't argue with her close friends. She just followed them on the dance floor. When the ladies left their table, Lester and John also went out of the venue to follow Sophia and Marcus.

They would serve as a lookout tonight. After implementing their plan, the guys would go back inside the venue and mingle with their friends and do a party all night with their hearts' content.

Meanwhile, the band started playing a slow and sweet song once more. Zhen-Zhen and Grandpa Lu were still on the dance floor when the music changed.

Grandpa Lu peered at his surroundings, searching for Tristan. He decided to let Tristan dance with his wife at this moment when suddenly a good-looking guy with emerald eyes approached them.

"Chairman Lu, apology… but may I dance with this lovely maiden who is with you?" He politely asked Grandpa Lu, flashing his friendly smile.
