What?” Emelie didn’t even understand why he brought up Wesley.
Her interactions with Wesley were from high school, a twhen they didn’t even know each other.
“I don’t quite understand what you mean, Mr. Middleton.”
William remained expressionless. “I find that hard to believe,”
Emelie really didn’t understand what he meant.
William coldly stared at her probing gaze and suddenly felt annoyed. He released her waist, uttered, “Don’t let
her alone.
Emelie watched his departing figure in confusion, completely baffled by his sudden change in demeanor.
She stood alone, surrounded by unfamiliar guests, feeling somewhat lost.
Luckily, she had been to many banquets like this before, so she adapted quickly.
She found herself standing alone in a comer of the banquet hall.
It would have been ideal for Emelie to stay like this until the end of the banquet.
End the night, leave the ship tomorrow, and quit the day after
But that was not going to happen
Suddenly, the Lights in the entire hall dimmed. Emelie paused for a moment, instinctively reaching for her
phone.
At that moment, & spotlight illuminated the stage, shining on a woman wearing a pink strapless dress who
stepped onto the stage. The woman held a microphone.

to all of you for taking the tto attend this grand event.
“Thank you! After a year, we are finally gathered together again!”
The banquet hall erupted into enthusiastic applause.
Emelie realized it was just part of the program, so she joined in the applause while she searched for William's
figure in the darkness.
The female host smiled and said, “As usual, let's begin tonight with a dance. Everyone, please blindfold
yourselves and step onto the dance flour.

Blindfold? Emelie was puzzled
However, the waiters were already descending from the stage with trays containing strips of black fabric, which
they placed in front of the puests.
Everyone else took the black fabric without hesitation, blindfolding themselves.
When the waiter reached Emelie, she hesitated but eventually took one.
She understood they were supposed to blindfold themselves and randomly select dance partners.
They were just going to dance, right?
Because of this “exchange partners” hidden game, Emelie remained cautious about any activities on the ship,
feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed
She searched for William again, but with the lights off in the banquet hall, all she could see were moving
silhouettes.
“That lady over there, please cover your eyes.”
The female host noticed Emelie’s wandering gaze. Emelie pursed her lips and blindfolded herself.
The female host clapped her hands, and the music started.
“Who will be your dance partner tonight? Who will have the first dance with whom? Three minutes to find a
dance partner; now, begin!”
Immediately, the surroundings buzzed with activity.
Emelie frowned and retreated into a comer
With her eyes covered, Emelie’s other senses heightened.

In the darkness, she subconsciously tilted her head to listen. The surroundings were filled with laughter, calls,
jokes, and invitations.
She focused and tried to move closer to the comer, avoiding being noticed by anyone.
But her shoulder was bumped into just as she took a few steps back. She stumbled in place, nearly falling
The woman who bumped into her quickly apologized, “I'm sorry.”
“It’s okay,” Emelie replied, trying to steady herself and continue moving backward.
