Chapter 41: Discomfort Of The Dress

{Music Recommendation: Wildest Dreams by Duomo}

She had only come down to get some food, but this man! His actions tonight would definitely draw the attention she had been trying so hard to avoid. They hadn't even started dancing yet, and some of the guests were already eyeing them.

"Cursing me silently?" Ivan's honeyed voice made Samantha hide her glare. He stopped walking and turned to look at her. "Were you expecting me to seek permission?"

"I just wanted…."

"To have a conversation with some Prince? Is that your next plan for escape?" His red eyes staring intensely into hers only made Samantha gulp down her retort.
