Chapter 15
Compared to just a stage’s distance away, now such a close proximity allows Antonio to clearly ask about the scent of perfume on the other person and also hear their heartbeat clearly.
He increasingly felt that the person in front of him was very familiar.
An absolutely impossible guess suddenly emerged in the mind.
The other party’s silence gave him an inexplicable confidence.
He slowly raised his trembling hand and reached out towards the other person in front of him. The closer he got to the mask, the faster his heart beat and his breath became tighter.
On the other hand, Grace did not expect Antonio to take action directly.
Based on her previous understanding of Antonio’s temperament. if other women did not answer his questions promptly, he would walk away with a gloomy face.
So Grace took the risk and gave it a try, so she never expected him to be
like this.
As his hand got closer and closer to her mask, Grace’s whole body became more and more rigid, and her heart was racing.
Just as Antonio’s hand was about to touch Grace’s mask, a sudden and urgent ringing sound suddenly rang out.
The next moment, Antonio quickly withdrew his hand and took out his phone to answer the call, saying, “Hello?”
Antonio’s face visibly turned ugly as he heard what the other person said.
Then he, without caring about Grace in front of him, hurriedly turned
around and left.
Grace’s stiff back finally relaxed as she could no longer see his silhouette.
She slowly opened her hand that she had been tightly holding, and sweat had already seeped onto it.
At night, the rest of the dance troupe wanted to go for a night stroll and see the night view of Udryadale.
As Grace had been living in Udryadale since she was young, she naturally wouldn’t go.
So after saying goodbye to her teammates, Grace got on the car back to the hotel.
As soon as she got off the car at the hotel, she happened to see Antonio walking out, surrounded by a group of people.
She subconsciously wanted to turn around, but suddenly Antonio’s voice came from behind, saying, “Wait a moment.”
Grace’s expression changed, and she quickly took out the mask from her bag and put it on.
When she turned around again, Antonio had already walked up to her.
Antonio was still puzzled by the woman wearing a mask: “You have finished work, why do you still need to wear it?”
Grace knew that this time she couldn’t escape, but she didn’t want to talk
to him.

So she first pointed to her throat and waved her hand.
Afterwards, I typed a line of words on my phone and handed it to him: “To maintain the mystery.”
Antonio was taken aback this time, “You, why…”
Grace tapped on the keyboard again and said, “Do you have something to tell me?”
Antonio then realized and quickly said, “I was rude today, as compensation. I would like to invite you for a meal.”
“Could I?”
Grace furrowed her brows, she didn’t want to have dinner with him at all.
She might not have much appetite like that.
But unfortunately, her stomach growled at this moment.
Hearing the sound coming from her stomach, Grace quickly covered her stomach, but forgot to cover her blushing ears.
Antonio chuckled softly and then said, “It won’t take you long, we dined at a restaurant near the hotel.”
Seeing his persistence, Grace couldn’t politely refuse anymore. After all, she was afraid that her strangeness would attract even more attention from
him.
In the end, she would definitely show her true colors.
In the quiet restaurant, there was only the sound of knives and forks touching plates.

Antonio was not very hungry to begin with, so he kindly sliced the steak for the woman across from him.
Grace also didn’t refuse anyone, after all, she was really hungry now.
For dancers, dieting is certainly important, but dancing itself requires a lot of effort. If energy is not replenished in a timely manner, one will end up making a fool of themselves on stage.
So Grace kept her head down, eating the food on her plate, without event giving a glance to Antonio across from her.
Although the food in the plate was indeed delicious, I couldn’t resist the constant gaze falling on me from the opposite side.
It was difficult to make her ignore.
