Man, what's wrong with you? novel Chapter 43

The music continued to play without anyone noticing her. Sherry's heart was beating uncontrollably fast. She could smell a familiar scent, knowing who was in front of her.

She raised her head slowly and saw Jeremy's stern and handsome face.

They unknowingly started dancing together in the middle of the dance floor. Jeremy's arms were wrapped around her as he silently stared at her.

"You're dating Chester. You rejected me because you knew you wanted to be his, right?" He caressed her chin, lifting her head slightly and placed his other hand on her bare back.

Sherry didn't answer him. She put her hands behind her back. She wanted to escape the clutches of his arms, but she couldn't.

"Let me go!" Sherry was appalled. At first, she didn't know who was being so rude. As soon as she saw it was Jeremy, everything made sense.

"No," Jeremy replied in a cold tone. His hands moved down from her back to waist as he grabbed tighter. "I promised that you would regret it."

Regret? The only thing she regretted was that she didn't see Jeremy when he approached. She squirmed and said, "I don't know what you mean."

Sherry was already pressed against him. She raised her head and stared at him with disgust and barked, "Take your hand off my waist!"

Hearing that, he faintly sneered. He said, "Wouldn't it be strange if you leave so abruptly?"

Of course it would look unusual. Sherry thought about this before the party. She didn't want to be around Jeremy but she was at the party on behalf of the company after all

There were so many people that knew Jeremy here. While a minute ago they all thought she was Chester's girlfriend.

As Jeremy's hand gripped hers, she gave up on trying to leave. She leaned in close to Jeremy and whispered in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"

Jeremy said, "Nothing. I just want to dance with you."

Frowning, Sherry asked doubtfully, "Really? Just a dance?"

Jeremy became annoyed and angrily said, "So what? You don't want to dance with me? You were so close with Chester just now. Why are you so hesitant to dance with me?"

Sherry was too angry to talk to him and could only scoff, "Just don't badger with me after we dance."

"Are you going to go back to Chester again? You've spent enough time with him. Isn't it my turn with you now? Don't you still want to be with me even after being with all these other men?"

Sherry's eyes widened with rage.

He sarcastically said once again, "I want you to be with me. After all, we are couple, and you are my wife."

After she heard what he said, Sherry couldn't help but sigh in exasperation. Her blood boiled and her anger was about to erupt.

Did he say that she was being promiscuous? A whore?

She was trying to stay calm because this wasn't the place to argue. Did he really not care about what he said and how it made her feel?

Jeremy was such an asshole!

Suddenly, she noticed a woman was stepping on her partner while dancing.

Sherry narrowed her eyes, raised her foot and stomped on Jeremy's foot with her heel.

"Humph!" After being stepped on, Jeremy winced and angrily looked at Sherry, squeezing her hand tighter.

"You really are ruthless." Sherry stomped down really hard and her heel made it so much worse.

He lost his balance slightly because of how hard Sherry hurt him. He regained his composure and slowly started dancing again, holding her in his arms.

"So do you want to let me go now?" Sherry looked at him coldly. Her high-heeled shoes were new found weapons!

The corners of his mouth lifted into a smile. Though it hurt, he tried his best to ignore it. Instead of loosening his grip, he held her even tighter.

He kept his hand on her waist. One moment he pinched her gently, and the next moment he turned into a gentle rub. Sherry's whole body stiffened as she lifted her foot to step on him again. This time she missed the stomp.

With a smirk, he said, "I won't make the same mistake again."

Every time he lowered his head, he would unconsciously touch her hair.

Sherry sighed, realizing she couldn't do anything to deter him. She could only stay helplessly in his arms. Rather regrettably it seemed like stepping on him only made the situation worse!

Across the dance floor, Chester held Jessie's hand, dancing with her.

She was still confused at the fact that Jeremy pushed her aside and walked away. It confused her even more that he took Sherry across the room to dance.

Chester danced heartlessly to the music. Jessie didn't feel anything for Chester but she couldn't just leave him. He also didn't reject her to dance so she couldn't leave him first.

Her motions were a bit stiff, and she said in a very cold tone, "Mr. Gu."

However, Jessie wasn't really Chester's preference. He just nodded his head slightly and danced intently, without saying anything.

There was a pause in the music and it suddenly switched to more upbeat dance music. The change in music almost gave an indescribable atmosphere to the party.

The whole party changed their dance style. The new music brought about a whole new vibe.

This sparked Jeremy as well. He spun Sherry around while holding her hand aloft and then pulled her in close.

"Jeremy, you need to respect me!" Sherry blushed. Jeremy then dipped her low. She could only hold his neck tightly to prevent herself from falling down.

"Dancing is supposed to be like this," he confidently said. Jeremy didn't pay attention to what she said at all. He lifted her up and carried her forward.

Sherry's face was getting more and more red as they continued dancing. She was stretching her legs towards Jeremy to avoid tripping on her own dress.

"That's enough! I'm not going to dance with you anymore!" Sherry lifted her little hands and punched on his shoulder. Jeremy just held her tightly and put his forehead on her forehead, saying, "It's still early."

As the music changed, Jeremy held her from behind. It seemed that other people weren't dancing as fiercely as they did. It seemed people were starting to look at them.

Sherry was getting embarrassed and annoyed. While dancing she managed to trip on her dress. This stumble gave Jeremy the opportunity to pull her in close.

It started feeling quite intimate and they both started getting hot and flushed. Sherry tried to suppress the intimacy and ignore the sexual appeal from Jeremy. Her body couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably.

It took some time for Jessie to move to Jeremy's side while dancing. When she witnessed Jeremy intimately holding Sherry closely and passionately, she pursed her lips in the anger to the point that they almost burst.

Standing beside Jeremy, Sherry looked more feminine.

With Sherry in his arms, Jeremy danced very naturally, to the envy of others.

The person in his arms should have been Jessie but the moment Sherry came, everything had changed.

Even after changing her dress Sherry's beauty still made her the focus of the party. Jealousy and hatred filled Jessie's eyes.

All of the emotions Jessie felt didn't escape Chester's eyes. He saw the spark between Sherry and Jeremy and felt that it wasn't normal. However he felt as if there was no point in trying to fight with Jeremy for Sherry, especially not in such an occasion.

It was just a dance. No big deal.

Without warning the lights turned off and the music stopped, as panic set in the guests.

"What happened?" "Why did the light go out?"

"Is the power off?"

"Hey! You stepped on my foot!"

There were many cries from the crowd. The guests started getting agitated. How could the electricity go out? Maybe this was a cheap trick by Steve. Maybe there would be a surprise soon.

Sherry could feel her anxiety rising as she sweated profusely. She breathed a sigh of relief because of the realization that she didn't have to dance with Jeremy anymore. Suddenly however there was something warm on her lips.

The familiar smell rushed into her nose and smothered every pore on her body, almost rendering her motionless.

Sherry heavily slapped on Jeremy's chest.

In the cover of the darkness, the brightness of Sherry's eyes shone as she stared at him. Jeremy's closed eyes could only be vaguely seen while he trapped her in his arms.

How could he do that? If the lights turned on, it'd spark so much scandal.

No, she had to stop him!

Sherry pinched his arm in an attempt to stop him but it was pointless.

She almost ran out of air before Jeremy finally let her go. Luckily the lights switched back on after he stopped kissing her.

"Your lipstick tastes good," Jeremy casually mentioned.

Sherry started to feel weak, hearing his words. Jeremy once again gently held her in his arms. She composed herself, trying not to get too close to him.

"You are crazy!" Her lips were red and swelling so she dared not be seen. She lowered her head, half in shame and half in anger.

She didn't know how long the electricity was off, but she felt as if a century passed since Jeremy kissed her!

She refused to give into him so he eventually had to give up.

"Where did you learn to pinch so violently?" Jeremy said with a frown while stretching his arms.

"All women can," Sherry sneered. She wouldn't mind using more drastic measures to stop him forcing himself on her next time.

"Mr. Song is coming," someone in the crowd shouted. The guests all looked for him only to see a giant cake being wheeled out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my birthday party."

Steve stood in front of the crowd, with a smile on his face. His hands were behind his back. He was stood tall, strong and with a youthful vigor. His keen eyes swept across the crowd and fell upon Sherry.

Sherry's eyes were wandering though so she didn't notice his gaze at all.

Jeremy refused to let her go and still held her in his arms. She tried to calm herself down since it was pointless to stay away from his strong embrace.
