Man, what's wrong with you? novel Chapter 45

The blinding light fell on Sherry. She silently stood there at the center of everyone's attention. On her fair slender neck, a silver necklace was giving off a brilliant shine.

At that moment, she looked so stunning and holy in that white dress she was wearing.

Still holding the roses in her hands, Sherry was starting to feel her palms getting sweaty. As she looked at the men in front of her, she noticed that there was a faint smile glued to Chester's face; Steve was gave her an expectant look; and as for Jeremy, his eyes looked like they were giving her a hint of a warning.

'Don't you dare dance with anyone other than me.'

That was the thought that cropped up in Sherry's mind the second she saw the look in Jeremy's eyes. After giving him a quick glance, she instantly looked away and tried to avoid his gaze.

Needless to say, other men had also been looking forward to it.

"So, Miss Xu, who are you going to choose?" Seeing that Sherry still hadn't picked anyone, the emcee had to ask her.

With the emcee prodding her into making a decision, Sherry took a deep breath and made up her mind.

This would mean she was going to choose the most attractive man among all of them. After all, no matter whom she chose to dance with, people would think that she had her eye on that man.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Sherry walked down the stage and walked toward Steve. With a captivating smile on her cherry lips, she reached out her hand and gave the roses she was holding to Steve.

"I choose Mr. Song, the birthday person tonight!" Sherry voice echoed throughout the hall.

Seeing this, people began glancing at each other and whispering. Although Sherry might not have been able to hear what they were saying, she could more or less guess what it was about.

Sherry could tell that everyone was thinking she had a thing for Steve.

"Today is Mr. Song's birthday, so you are the real star of the night. As a guest, I guess I am lucky enough to dance with you. May I have the honor of dancing with you?"

With her bright eyes blinking, the hair on Sherry's temples fell down. Right now, she seemed quite cunning and cute.

Standing next to Steve, Jeremy made sure to watch every expression Sherry made as she spoke. From being flustered in the beginning to the calmness in her face later on, and the confident smile she was wearing right now.

'Humph, this woman is indeed a little foxy!' With his hands in his pockets, Jeremy clenched his fists.

Steve couldn't help looking at Sherry in astonishment. Truth be told, his heart skipped a bit when she walked toward him, as he wasn't expecting that she would actually choose him.

She had always been indifferent to him before.

"Of course, it would be my pleasure." Looking at the roses in her hand, Steve took them right away without any hesitation.

Seeing the unexpected turn of events, the emcee was pleasantly surprised and shouted, "Miss Xu handed the roses in her hand to Mr. Song. She has invited Mr. Song to dance, and Mr. Song could not refuse!"

Her voice was so loud that it reverberated in the entire hall.

With a smile glued to his face, Steve happily told Sherry, "It's my honor."

"No, today is your special day, and you invited me to your party. Of course I should choose you," Sherry quickly blurted out.

When the people heard this, the whispers of the people around them suddenly shifted into a different tone.

'She might not be one of those women who are trying to pursue Steve after all!' Because of this, Sherry was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.

Someone next to him took the roses over, then Steve extended his hand in front of Sherry, and she gently put her hand on his.

The music started playing again. Then, the lights in the entire hall were dimmed, leaving a soft purple light shining on Steve and Sherry.

Sherry rested her hand on Steve's shoulder, and his hand accidentally touched her bare back.

Steve was so overcome with joy that he couldn't hide his excitement. "You're becoming even cuter in my eyes."

Sherry was a bit caught off guard. Seldom did she hear people describe her using the word "cute".

"What do you mean?" Considering how awkward and boring it would be if she danced with Steve without saying anything, she decided to have a chat.

"The way you look tonight took me by surprise, and what you did just now surprised me as well. It seems that I'm getting more and more interested in you." Steve didn't even try to hide how he felt about her.

However, this was not a good thing for Sherry. She didn't want him to be interested in her at all.

"Mr. Song, that isn't funny at all." The corner of Sherry's mouth twitched, and she said that in a cold but otherwise still polite tone.

Wearing a joyful look in his eyes, he curtly replied, "Do I look like I'm kidding?

Did I say anything wrong?" From the very beginning, she had always known that Steve wanted her and even asked Jeremy to give her to him.

That was exactly the reason why every time she saw Steve, she would try to steer clear of him subconsciously.

At first, she was a little bit scared, but she had come to terms with it later on, and then she actually couldn't care less about it at all.

"If you think that I was just kidding, then you are mistaken." Raising his gorgeous and sexy chin, Steve set her straight.
