She immediately dropped her graphite pencil when she saw me holding a tray.“Beth! Look at our Mingming, isn’t she cute?”I applauded at her artwork, then stroked Mingming’s black fur.

I sighed at his silly request, which made me want to punch him until his pretty face became distorted, and disposed of his body to the nearest river in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep. But of course, I didn’t want Mingming to be his hostage.I looked at him straight in the eye and said, “Please forgive me as I lead a very busy life.

“It is my first time to attend a glamorous ball.”I nodded. I never imagined I would witness the glamour of this lavishing event.Multiple chandeliers on both sides lit the arched hall. They placed the 4 seater purple tables. The unoccupied space in the middle became the stage for the greatest dancers as they meandered along with the tune of soft music played by the Imperial orchestra.Everyone glimmered in their finest outfits when in reality they were walking null values.“Oh, what a splendid night!”Speaking of a null value, she approached us.Her reddish hair resembled a twisted pair of cable I crimped in my networking class, her nose was like an angle bracket when viewed sideways, and the nauseating floral scent of perfume matched with her stenchy personality.Cora Atkinson, Marquess Atkinson’s daughter.
