Joanna looked down and saw her foot on top of Julian's. Her face burned in embarrassment and she mumbled awkwardly, "I'm so sorry. I wasn't paying attention."
"You're dancing with me. If you're not paying attention to me, who are you paying attention to?" Julian asked her casually.
Joanna stepped on Julian's foot out of anger this time, and hissed, "Why did you have to say that? I'm already in a tough spot here!"
Wasn't it obvious? Of course, she had been focusing on Ace. She felt like a thief prying into other people's business when Julian called her out like that.
After a while, the song came to an end, and the lights went out.
Julian suddenly let go of Joanna's waist. He spoke just loud enough for Ace and the others to hear them. "Since we aren't good dance partners, why don't we try exchanging partners?"
