Chapter 69 Matchmaking
"I would only stomp on your feet... Just now Rupert was twisted because of the pain. Are you sure you want to dance with me?"
Eloise almost laughed when she said that. She really doubted whether Rupert threw her out just because he's so scared of being stomped on the feet again.
A smile flashed over Hector's eyes. He then said, "He was stupid. I promise I'll teach you better than him."
Then Hector put his arms around Eloise's waist. He whispered in his low and sexy voice, "Give me your hand."
Eloise's face blushed. She put one hand on his shoulder and held the other hand with him.
"Left foot, then right..."
They were breathing very close to each other. The deep sound made Eloise's ears blush. Goosebumps crawled on his spine...
On the other side, Reeva was watching the two dancing. She seemed upset in her eyes because she couldn't believe that Hector was so patient teaching Eloise to dance.
Reeva finally felt something wrong.
She looked at Rupert and asked, "Miss Thompson and you brother..."
She wondered what was going on between the two. She thought Eloise was just Rupert's plus one. 'Why is Hector teaching her how to dance?' There were so many questions going on in Reeva's mind right now. Rupert played dumb and said with a smile, "Reeva, why are you focusing on my brother while you're dancing with me? Am I really that bad at dancing?"
Rupert said to himself that Eloise and his brother were a perfect match.
Hearing Rupert's jealousy words, Reeva mocked, "You misunderstood me... Of course, you're an excellent dancer!"
She trotted and kept dancing with Rupert, but she couldn't stop looking at Eloise and Hector, and her eyes filled with deep thoughts.
...
Under Hector's careful instruction, Eloise became better and better at it after being stepped on several times. By the end, she had danced with style and could almost dance as good as others. Rupert would felt it so unfair when he saw this because he had been stepped on his feet so many times when he was teaching.
"You're a natural dancer," Hector said with a smile.
"You taught me well."
Eloise smiled. She found dancing very interesting, and she actually enjoyed it.
Robbie and Agnes were standing in the corner. They didn't dare to get closer because they were afraid of being found by Hector. When they saw the two dancing, their face changed. "Why is Hector teaching Eloise how to dance?"
Robbie said with gloomy eyes. He felt so upset seeing Eloise being so intimate with other men. He had abandoned her, but that still made him uncomfortable.
Agnes looked just as upset as Robbie.
"How could she? That bitch!"
Agnes's eyes were full of thoughts. Eloise was much foxier than she thought. The woman dared to hook up with Rupert and dance with her. That was so shameless. Just by then, she heard someone around her talking,
"Wow, check this out! The woman dancing with Hector has been replaced! It's no longer Reeva!"
"That's Rupert's plus one, but she and Hector seem to be a perfect match!"
"Yeah, I envy her so much!"
...
Agnes clenched her fingers tightly. She couldn't accept that she was hiding here while Eloise was envied by the crowd.
Hatred surged through Agnes. She would never allow Eloise to find a man better than hers. She wanted Rupert to see Eloise's true colors tonight and let Hector leave her. Looking at the woman standing in the center of the stage, a haze flashed across Agnes's eyes.
...
Eloise vaguely felt as if someone was staring at her. However, when she looked back, there was nothing behind her. She wondered if it was her illusion.
Eloise was wandering off. She stepped on Hector's toes again.
"Sorry..." She apologized quickly.
Hector smiled and said, "It's okay."
Eloise now finds that Hector is not as scary as she thought.
She stepped on his toe so many times, but he didn't even get mad. He's got a good temper like no other!
Reeva and Rupert had already left the dance floor. They stood at a distance, and when they saw this scene, both of them felt very said.
They knew Hector when he was a kid, and they had never seen him treat any girl like this. They wondered what Eloise really meant to him. Eloise and Hector left the dance floor later.
Reeva walked up. Then she smiled and said, "I didn't expect Miss Thompson to be so talented and dance so well on her first dance."
"Thank you, you are a great dancer, too," Eloise replied shily.
Reeva looked at Hector and continued to speak again, "Hector has taught you well. It's the first time I've seen him be so patient. You were cooperating so well, have you known each other for a long time?" "Not for long..." Eloise was a little confused. She had a vague feeling that Reeva was indicating so thing by asking this question.
Hector didn't speak, nor did he have any expressions on his face.
Hearing Eloise's reply, Reeva clenched her fingers tightly, nails in her flesh.
She realized how special Eloise was to Hector. They had only known each other for a short time, yet Hector treated Eloise far better than how he treated Reeva.
She felt so threatened.
Although Reeva had been abroad over the years, she knew exactly who Hector had been with. Now she wondered when did Eloise come from, and why she was completely unaware?
Reeva's heart was filled with random thoughts, but she couldn't see what was really between
Eloise and Hector.
She calmed down and continued to talk and laugh with other people politely.
Moments later, Patriarch Lawson walked over.
Reeva stepped forward and took his arms, greeting him sweetly, "Grandpa!"
Hector and Rupert also greeted Patriarch Lawson politely.
Patriarch Lawson smiled. He looked at the two in front of him and said, "I haven't seen you for so long, Rupert and Hector are still as handsome as ever! You haven't come to visit me for so long, did you still remember me as your grandpa?" "Not at all! We were just busy running the company and we haven't had the time to visit you. How could we forget about you? We always missed you," Rupert said.
"You sweet talker."
Patriarch Lawson said with a smile. Then he added, "Hector, how's Reeva behaving in your company? Did she bring you any trouble?' Eloise was startled when she heard that question.
She didn't know Reeva was working in the Roger Group. She finally knew why Reeva walked out of the company with Hector that day. Hector bit his lips and said calmly, "Please don't worry. She didn't bring me any trouble, and everything was going fine."
"Grandpa, I've told you before and you wouldn't believe me," Reeva pouted and said coquettishly.
Patriarch Lawson ignored her and looked at Hector.
"That's fine. Hector, please instruct her more so that I can rest assured leaving our group to her."
"Okay."
As they chatted, they talked about business matters again. Patriarch Lawson said, "The Roger Group is now being developed better and better by you two, but the only drawback is that neither of you has had a family yet."
Eloise stood silently aside, and her eyes lit up when she heard what the old man said. She could tell when he said that, all he had in his eyes was Hector, therefore she had vaguely sniffed something.
Hector pursed his lips and said, "The company needs us to expand, so we don't have enough time to start a family."
"That's right. My brother is always so busy and he doesn't even have the time to start a family."
Rupert added in a hurry because he knew what the old man was going to say next.
Patriarch Lawson shook his head when he heard this.
"That's no good. A man should start a family first and then establish a career. Although you two have already been the other way around, but Hector... there are countless girls in the city who want to marry you. I think you should settle down as soon as possible." Then he paused and turned around. He looked at her granddaughter and said, "Hector, what do you think of Reeva?"☐☐☐☐☐
