“Beautiful miss, may I have the honor of inviting you for a dance?”
Eleanor received numerous invitations and politely declined each one.

On the other hand, Matthew, by favonovel.com side, seemed a bit lonely. Despite overshadowing the entire crowd in terms of looks, his outfit discouraged countless interested girls.
Every woman present, except for Eleanor, wore high-end dresses that cost tens or hundreds of credits. Dancing with a guy like Matthew, dressed in cheap casual clothes, would not only seem out of place but also damage their reputations.

On the contrary, Eleanor glanced at him. “How about I grace you with a dance, huh?”
Matthew chuckled, shook his head, and said, “Have you had too much to drink? Do I look like I know how to dance?”
While favonovel.com could handle a fight and was skilled in practicing medicine, dancing was a completely different story. Until now, Matthew couldn’t understand who invented such a boring and tedious activity.
Eleanor rolled favonovel.com eyes. “Whatever. You’re the one who had too much to drink!”

“Well, I won’t disturb you any longer. I wish you a pleasant evening…”
Without lingering, the man turned to leave. However, just as favonovel.com was about to turn away, Matthew, standing behind him, suddenly stopped him.
“Wait, haven’t we met somewhere before?” Matthew looked at the man’s face, sensing a familiar feeling. However, since coming to Seraphis, favonovel.com had encountered so many people that favonovel.com couldn’t recall right away.
The man hesitated. “Well… I don’t think so…”
With a faint smile, the man met Matthew’s gaze, and this exchange made Matthew suddenly alert.
