Chapter 14
As soon as these words were spoken, the young girls became extremely excited and started screaming.
The president of the Kaufman Group was young and wealthy. If I could. gain his favor, my position in the future would definitely be elevated.
Thinking of this, everyone hurried back to the dressing room to groom themselves, all wanting to present their best selves in front of Antonio.
Only Grace stood still, her mind filled with confusion.
All of a sudden. Antonio ran to the backstage.
Even in the year when Antonio was most crazily pursuing her, he would never come backstage. At most, he would have his assistant send flowers to her on his behalf.
Grace became more and more confused, her hand hanging by her side involuntarily clenched, her nails digging deep into her flesh without her even realizing it.
“Parrish.”
Kevin’s slightly worried voice rang in her ears, pulling Grace’s thoughts back. “Kevin, what’s wrong?”
“I noticed that your complexion wasn’t too good. Are you feeling unwell? Why don’t you go back to the hotel and rest first, and you don’t have to worry about Mr. Kaufman.”
Grace bit her lip and remained silent.
She was not in the right mood now, and she couldn’t guarantee what would happen if she saw Antonio again.
So Grace finally agreed with Kevin’s words and hurriedly walked out without even taking off her mask.
Just then, in front of her, came the sound of footsteps, followed by the polite voice of a stranger.
“Mr. Kaufman, please.”
“We were very honored to have you visit our dance troupe.”
The man was speaking while trying to lift the thick curtain in front of Grace
She instantly felt her heart tighten, quickly turned around and hid in the corner, while at the same time Antonio walked into the backstage.
The moment he entered, the girls from the dance troupe rushed towards Antonio, chattering and greeting him eagerly.
In an instant, the strong scent of perfume on the girls also rushed into Antonio’s nose, causing him to involuntarily furrow his brow.
He endured the discomfort and silently surveyed the group of girls in front of him.
Suddenly his gaze fell on a certain corner, and with just one glance he determined the target.
“Is that the one who was the chief of your dance troupe?”
Just one sentence, everyone’s gaze shifted to Grace at the very end.
Grace’s body trembled slightly, and her heartbeat slowed down a bit,
becoming the center of attention in the whole room.
Kevin saw that she hadn’t left yet and thought to himself that it wasn’t good. But in the end, he still mustered up the courage and waved to
Grace.
Grace quickly walked up to Antonio, and he no longer concealed his
gaze.
He carefully examined Grace from top to bottom, but unfortunately, she was still wearing a mask, and he still didn’t know her true face.
His serious gaze made Grace particularly uncomfortable, but she also dared not make any sudden moves, afraid of exposing herself in front of
him.
The two of them stood there in silence for a while, and finally Antonio spoke first.
“Why… are you still wearing a mask even after stepping down?”
From the moment this woman appeared, Antonio’s gaze completely fell on her and could never leave.
While everyone else was doing their best to gain his attention, only this woman was avoiding his gaze.
Even when she stepped down, she was the first one to quickly leave the
stage.
This naturally caught Antonio’s attention.
After all, since he held a press conference to announce his marriage and widowhood.
Udryadale pursued his woman like a passing carp.
The only woman in front of him, however, avoided him like he was some kind of ferocious beast or flood.
And just at that moment when she was dancing on stage, it even made him think he saw Grace.
If he had not personally buried Grace’s ashes, Antonio would have thought he had seen a ghost.
So, with many questions in his mind, he went to the backstage right after the end of the show and approached the woman wearing a mask.
