Chapter 384
Lethan continued, “But Mr. Reyes, please apologize to Mr. Spencer on Carlisle’s behalf. Wanda was kidnapped yesterday, and she even witnessed a family bodyguard being killed. She’s traumatized, so Carlisle has to support her.
“She intends to dance for Carlisle. If he’s talking with Mr. Spencer while Wanda is performing onstage, just how embarrassed will she be?”
Max was taken aback. “She was kidnapped? Really?”
Lethan was amused by his reaction. “You’re busy running your businesses. This incident caused quite a stir yesterday, so you should be able to see it on the news.”
Max instantly rose from the chair. “Mr. Zahn, please have a seat. I’ll explain the situation to Mr. Spencer.”
Carlisle smiled. “Tell Mr. Spencer that I will drink with him as punishment later.”
Max was satisfied with Carlisle’s reply. He then returned to Gareth’s side.
After sharing with Gareth the incident Lethan had mentioned, Gareth was also
appalled. “Are there still such unruly kidnappers these days?”
“We still don’t know if it’s true. I’ll make a call and ask about it,” Max pulled out his
phone as he spoke.
“There’s no need for that. I could tell that Wanda didn’t look quite right just now. Shel seems very different from the last time I saw her. They’re likely telling the truth.”
Gareth shook his head and asked again, “What else did Carlisle say?”
“He’ll drink with you as punishment.”
Gareth grinned. “He knows the drill.”
“He has Lethan by his side, so he was probably trained.”
“Not necessarily.” Gareth lit a cigarette and took a long drag. Then, he looked at the
stage and said, “Let’s watch the dance performance.”
As if on cue, Luna announced the next act. “Let’s welcome Wanda Thompson, a
freshman from Class 2 of the e–commerce department, to perform a ballet number
for us
In truth, Luna was a little worried.
Wanda was an introvert and couldn’t be over–stimulated in her current state. Luna was concerned she would be unable to overcome her social phobia.
Wanda had changed into a white tutu. She sidled up the stage as the music began to play. Her body seemed to glide rather than wobble, as she ascended the stage.
She had light makeup on. Her eyes were beautiful and her hair draped smoothly. With gentle expressions on her delicate face, every movement she made was
alluring.
Ballet was a dreamlike dance that could bring the audience into a colorful
wonderland. Ballerinas would wear dazzling tutus with rainbow–like threads that sparkled under the stage lights.
Wanda danced gracefully to the melody, lifting her arms gently like a fairy. Her dance moves were soft and elegant, as if she was wandering on clouds.
As the melody rose, Wanda’s flexible body spun rapidly but steadily like a top. The white tutu fluttered with her movements, appearing to form a blooming white rose.
“Wow… The freshmen this year are so talented!”
“As their senior, I’m stressed!”
“Oh no, how are we going to perform our dances after her?”
The students below the stage exclaimed.
Classical dances like ballet were different from modern dances.
Classical dance was an elegant and culture–infused dance, which emphasized the
unity of movements, rhythm, costumes, performances, and heritage.
It had a unique artistic appeal and cultural value, and it was more pleasing to the
eyes.
Carlisle was smiling from ear to ear as he watched Wanda dancing on the stage. He
was so proud of her. She was doing extremely well.
He took out his cell phone and turned on the video–recording function. He was lucky to be seated close to the stage and thus could record Wanda’s enticing dance.
While everyone was engrossed in Wanda’s graceful performance, the electronic screen behind the stage suddenly flickered, later turning to a completely unrelated scene altogether.
“Just in, the chairman of the Thompson Group, Shein Thompson, and his family were kidnapped as they were returning to their hometown.”
The screen flickered again and a different newscaster’s voice could be heard. “The police have currently sealed off Trodie Town, and a rescue plan will soon be
activated. We believe that good will triumph over evil.”
“The ruthless kidnappers killed a bodyguard of Mr. Thompson, who was known to
have worked for him for four years.”
