Chapter 92
“Six o’clock. Do you see the man standing there?” Brandon asked.
He and Noelle were dancing. So, their bodies were pressed up against each other.
It had been a long time since Noelle had done something this fun, and her breathing became a little uneven now. The tip of her nose was covered in sweat as well.
After she heard what Brandon asked, she immediately looked over.
“Yeah. So?”
“That’s the son of Brennan Townsend, the CEO of Tidalwaye Holdings. He has been watching you for a while now. I’ll introduce you two later, and you’ll dance with him for awhile. How does that sound?”
Noelle chuckled. “Why should I?”
“I’m going to collaborate with Brennan.” Brandon didn’t hide anything from Noelle, either.
He continued, “If you help me this once, I will let you have direct shares in the production of your comic adaptation. If the TV series becomes insanely popular, you’ll get your fair share of profits as well.”
Noelle merely chuckled again. It seemed like she wasn’t much interested in what Brandon offered. Brandon wasn’t surprised by her reaction, either. He kept going and said, “Naturally, you won’t be tempted. money. However, isn’t this your way of boosting your confidence?”
This time, Noelle didn’t retort. After she pondered on it for several seconds, she asked, “When you said you needed my help, did you mean for me to dance with him?”
“Of course not.” Brandon chuckled. “Tidalwave Holdings is gaining a reputation now, and there are a lot of people who want to talk to Brennan’s son tonight. If you have a dance with him, then I’m going to need you to put in some good words for me.”

“I don’t know him at all. What makes you think he’ll listen to me?”
“Yeah. Afterward, I need you to find out if Brennan would have a private meal with me.” Brandon listed his demands naturally. Meanwhile, what he said also let Noelle know that she had to successfully ask Brennan out for a meal for their deal to go through.
Noelle fell silent briefly before she nodded. “Okay.”
Brandon smiled, feeling satisfied. At that moment, their dance had come to an end as well.
Noelle let go of Brandon’s hand before she gracefully spun several times and landed perfectly with a bow. Rounds of applause reverberated throughout the party hall.
Brandon chuckled and led Noelle over to Clark Townsend’s side. “Hi, Mr. Townsend.”
Clark nodded at Brandon before he glanced at Noelle. After he scanned her from head to toe, he asked, “You danced wonderfully. Are you a professional dancer?”
There v were a lot of party guests tonight. On top of that, Brandon owned Magnolia Pictures, which held a prestigious presence in the entertainment industry. It was completely normal for him to bring a professional dancer with him tonight.
“Not at all. I’m just dancing casually.”
“It doesn’t look casual to me.”
“It’s just that I’m quite familiar with the previous songs. I might be out of my depth if I am to dance to the next

Noelle raised her eyes and looked Clark in the eyes with a grin on her face.
“ch” Will it be inappropriate for me to invite you to dance a third time, then?”
tilly, Brandon intended to introduce Noelle to Clark, but it didn’t seem necessary anymore.
Just as Noelle was about to nod and agree to dance with Clark, someone appeared next to her and stuck out a hand. “Can I have a dance with you? The man’s voice was crisp and deep.
It felt as if someone had thrown a rock into a perfectly tranquil lake and disturbed its peace, causing a huge ripple across its surface.
Noelle couldn’t help but tremble. She thought she had misheard. After all, Hendrix had never liked attending balls like these. Besides, wasn’t he overseas right now?
However, Noelle’s fleeting hope quickly vanished. He might’ve been wearing a mask, but she could never mistake those eyes for anyone else’s
