‘I know you were only bluffing,’Celine frowned at her, acting like a spoiled little girl.
‘I’m not bluffing,’Prince said.
‘Then you can’t go back on your words, you have to bring me to Buckingham Palace for my coming-of-age.’Laughing, she extended her hands and demanded, ‘you gave Audrey a beautiful birthday present, where is my own?’
‘Here.’Prince pointed to his lips.
Celine pinched his lips and Prince frowned.
‘Who asks for a gift during another person’s birthday, aren’t you ashamed to want to steal the spotlight from your sister?’Prince pretended to be appalled.
‘I don’t care, you’re my boyfriend.’ Celine blushed with a grin. Then, like a spoiled little girl, she pulled Prince closer and laid a kiss upon his rosy lips.
‘You know how to get a man act like a fool,’Prince laughed.
‘Of course, I know that what I did will work on you. I’m a kind of casting spell on you.’
Prince laughed. ‘Okay, I’ll marry you off immediately.’
Celine couldn’t help laughing, glancing at Audrey who was dancing with Daniel. Audrey had changed into another beautiful dress. She was now wearing a Chanel red gown. The sleeve of the red gown swept the floor, no doubt stealing the spotlight.
On the other hand, Chioma was drinking alone while Chisom chose a random partner to dance with. Chioma kept glancing around, not feeling comfortable with such a classy place filled with classy people. She saw Felix talking with a man in brown suit, when their eyes met, Felix smiled at her. Chioma looked away quickly, feeling uncomfortable with his handsome gaze.
Chioma placed the empty glass on a tray carried about by a waiter, and turned to leave. But just like magic in movies, Felix was too fast to get hold of her, extending his hand for a dance. Chioma wanted to decline dancing with Felix, but his domineering presence made it impossible for her to object. She didn’t want to reject the offer of dancing with Felix; especially not here that everyone seemed to be in their gossip mode.
