Chapter 250 Two Maries ( Part One)
Wearing a tailored suit, Archer walked into the hall, radiating a breathtaking light. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
In the hall of the hotel, the stars were shining and wineglasses were clinking. Everyone's faces were full of smiles. Red wine and delicious food were just embellishment. The gorgeous men and women were the protagonists.
Archer's sharp eyes like an eagle's swept through the crowd. Suddenly, he saw someone whom he had not seen for days. He placed his glass on the table and quickly walked towards her.
"Hey!" Archer patted the woman with her back to him and said, "You are so beautiful today!"
Aisha turned around to see who had spoken. Her eyes lit up when she saw a handsome man with brown hair and blue eyes. Wow!
Meanwhile, Jazlyn was stunned. Another man came to accost her again? As she was about to say something, Aisha pushed her away. She noticed that Aisha's gaze never left the man. "Jazlyn, you can go over there and have fun," Aisha said.
"Alright." Jazlyn turned around angrily and murmured, "You forget your friend when you see a handsome man. Boss, you are so ungrateful."
Seeing that Jazlyn had left, Archer smiled at Aisha and asked, "Where is William?"
"William?" Aisha frowned and answered, "I don't know."
A flash of surprise was seen in Archer's blue eyes. He thought that Mary seemed to be a little different today.
"Thump!"
Suddenly, the lights in the hall dimmed, accompanied by a soft music.
Archer reached out his hand, as his confusion disappeared instantly. He smiled and said, "Please dance with me. William is not here anyway."
Aisha stared at his eyes and hesitated for a second. Slowly, she reached out to hold his outstretched hand. Together, they walked side by side to the dance floor.
Meanwhile, Mary had just come out of the washroom when she saw that the dance had already started.
"Let's go dance!" William had been patiently waiting for her by the door. With his hand in his pocket, he looked like an elegant prince waiting for his princess.
"No, I won't." Mary raised her head and looked at him shyly. "You are such a good dancer. It would be shameful for me to go there!"
"Who dares laugh at you? I will teach them a lesson!" William grabbed her hand and pulled her forward. "You are the star today. How can you not dance?"
Mary sighed. She had no choice but to follow him to the dance floor.
William took her hand and taught her how to dance patiently. "Follow me. Start with your left foot, then your right..."
Clusters of neon lights swept across everyone. The hall was so colorful and the sight was breathtaking.
Lucas wandered around the hall in silence, showing no interest to the men and women who were dancing. However, his eyes were intently scanning the crowd, looking for the woman whom he hated so much.
Didn't William say Jazlyn would come? Where was she now? Alas!
In the corner of the wine area, a strange girl with her back to the crowd was eating and drinking presumptuously. Who else could it be if it was not Jazlyn?
"You! Jazlyn Xu, I finally found you!"
After taking a closer look, Lucas strode to the girl's direction while rubbing his fists. When he got near enough, he put his hand on his waist and shouted triumphantly, "Jazlyn Xu!"
"Hmm? What?" Jazlyn's mouth was full of cake. When she heard someone call her, she immediately turned around to the sound of the voice. When she saw who it was, her eyes were wide-open as she spat out the mouthful of cake everywhere, even at Lucas. "Ahem!"
Lucas enjoyed the "shower of food" right away. "What the... Damn it!" Holding back his anger, Lucas wiped his face and grabbed Jazlyn's hand. "Come with me!" he roared.
"You again?! Let go of me!" Unfortunately, there was an occasion and her boss was also there so Jazlyn did not dare beat him again. "Let go of me!" she shouted as she struggled to get out of his grasp. "What are you doing?!"
"I want to get even with you!"
"Get even? Why?" Jazlyn swallowed and asked, "Didn't I give you money?"
As soon as she mentioned the money, Lucas's anger rose and he yelled at her again. "I'm not a pimp! Why did you give me money? Woman, I have to make it clear to you — "
"I don't want to listen to you!" While Jazlyn was glaring at him, she shook off his hand and walked away.
"Don't go!" Lucas suddenly grabbed her by the arm as he tried to prevent Jazlyn from leaving. However, this sudden gesture made her lose her balance. As a result, her high heels slipped and she was about to fall.
"Watch out!" Instinctively, Lucas tried to catch her and the two fell down together safely. Their lips met unexpectedly as they fell. Lucas smelled a whiff of her perfume as her soft body landed on top of his.
"I'm sorry for what had happened last time. I got the wrong person." Archer chuckled on the dance floor.
Aisha was almost enchanted by him. She shook her head and answered with a smile. "It doesn't matter!"
After a while, the rhythm of the dance suddenly became faster. Those guests with poor dancing skills slowly stepped back, giving way to those who wanted to dance.
"Can you continue?" Archer asked.
"Of course!" With raised eyebrows, she turned around, and looked at the man provocatively.
Archer's heart skipped a beat. He was both surprised and confused! But he did not stop. He cooperated with the woman in front of him smoothly which attracted everyone's attention.
On the other side, under William's guidance, Mary was getting more and more excited. As of now, neither of the two had found the other 'Mary' on the dance floor. However, the guests had noticed it already.
Gradually, people on the dance floor realized that something was wrong. They immediately stopped and stepped aside to watch.
Onstage, two women looked exactly the same. They wore the same dress, and had the same hairstyle. Even their facial and bodily features were identical!
"Victor." Ena looked at the strange scene in the hall in surprise. She tugged Victor's sleeve while her eyes were fixated at the commotion.
"What's wrong?" asked Victor while frowning.
"Look!" Pointing at the two women on dance floor, Ena said with trembling lips, "How could it be?"
Victor looked at the direction where her finger was pointing. Even his heart skipped a beat. Was there something wrong with his eyes? What happened!
Barry was also watching. However, he was too shocked to say anything.
"Hey," said William as he beckoned Mary to get closer.
As the music gradually faded, the dancing pace slowed down as well.
"Turn around." William held Mary's slender hand and she spun gracefully. Halfway through her turn, her eyes met with an extremely familiar face. 'Isn't that me? Or is that a mirror? How come? How could there be such a huge mirror on the dancing floor? '
In an instant, countless possibilities flashed through Mary's mind like lightning bolt. She lost her balance momentarily and fell into William's arms.
"What's wrong?" William asked with concern with his hands around her.
Mary did not speak. Instead, she pushed him away and turned around to look at the woman again. As expected, she saw the woman in front of her, and her mouth opened wide in shock.
Standing still, Archer realized something was wrong. He abruptly turned Aisha around and asked, "You! Who are you? You are not Mary!"
Hearing his bellow, William could not help but look at the woman in Archer's arms.
"What happened? Oh no! Do I have an illusion again? No!" When William spoke, he felt that the voice was not his.
Hearing William's familiar voice, Aisha turned around. "William? Hey!" she said while grinning.
Mary took a few steps back. She clutched her chest, and her breathing became unstable. 'We're same! We're same!' There was a person who looked exactly like her! Was she dreaming? No way! "What do you think? Am I beautiful in this dress?" Aisha danced to William's side, turned around, and said, "We both have the same taste.
William did not know what to say so he looked at Archer for help.
Archer understood at a glance. On the street of New York, it was her...
"Why don't you say anything?" Aisha stared at William, and asked, "I didn't expect to meet you here. When I saw you last time, you wanted to kiss me. Now you don't want to move at all."
It was not an illusion. There were two Marys!
William tried his best to not look nervous and flustered. "Who wanted to kiss you?" he roared at the woman.
"Hmm?" Aisha widened her eyes and shouted back, "What did you say? Come again?"
"I said, I didn't want to kiss you! You... Look at you!"
"William, I didn't expect you to be such a person!
Mary looked at the two. Their conversation made her scalp tingle. Her mind was in a mess.
"Shut up! Stop talking!" All of a sudden, Mary yelled at the top of her lungs with closed eyes. She grabbed Aisha's arms and shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing here? How could you... Who the hell are you? Tell me!"
"Me?" Aisha turned her head and looked at Mary from head to toe. She was stunned for a second and suddenly screamed, "Ah! Holy! Fuck!"
Her voice was so loud that wineglasses in the hall seemed to vibrate.
Meanwhile, Jazlyn was arguing and fighting with Lucas in the corner. Aisha's scream made her stop instantly. "Boss!"
