Chapter 229 Sensual Dance.
[A/N: And here comes day two of the Mass release event! Part 4/4 of today's Mass release! Here you go fellas! Big Shout out to Dirtydew!]
.....
Hugo led Celine toward the dance floor, his heart pounding with excitement.
This was it.
A moment of victory!
A true Casual Casanova moment!
Just a few weeks ago, if someone had told him he'd be confidently leading a stunning woman onto the dance floor, he would've laughed in their face.
Now, look at him.
A true master in the making!
He had faced the obstacle, maneuvered through a mental battlefield, and emerged victorious.
The old Hugo would have fumbled like a baby.
But not this Hugo.
This Hugo was smooth, calculated, and slightly dangerous.
He smirked to himself. 'Damn, I've grown a lot in these last month.'
If there was a "Casanova Rankings," he might still be a beginner, but at least now he wasn't bottom tier.
But enough about that.
He had bigger things to focus on.
Like the woman beside him.
The one with gorgeous light brown skin, wild afro curls, and a figure that could make a monk rethink his vows.
He was also wondering when the system would complete it's scanning thingy.
Usually, it was done in seconds once he had some sort of physical contact with the target, but this time was different.
Seconds had passed and still no response.
Could she really be the one he had been looking for?!
Was she really a one out of a million beauty?!
The music changed, shifting into a deep, rhythmic beat that made the air around them hum.
The kind of song that demanded body to body contact.
Celine turned to him, raising an elegant eyebrow. "Are you sure you can dance?"
Hugo scoffed, placing a hand on his chest. "Madam, I am deeply offended."
Celine smirked. "That wasn't an answer."
Hugo chuckled. "Alright, fair. I'll admit, I'm not a professional. But..." He leaned in slightly, lowering his voice. "I make up for it in other ways."
Celine tilted her head, amused. She leaned in as well, not shying away from flirting with her cousin's best friend. "Oh? Like what?"
Hugo grinned. "Charm. Confidence. Raw, undeniable talent."
Celine laughed. "Alright, smooth talker. Let's see what you've got."
With that, she turned around, pressed her back against him, and started moving.
Close Contact!
Hugo was not ready.
She pretended to think. "Hmm. Maybe I just feel bad for you."
Hugo chuckled. "Ah, so it's charity work?"
Celine nodded solemnly. "Exactly."
Hugo sighed dramatically. "That's rough. A man's out here trying his best, and all he gets is pity."
Celine giggled. "That's life."
Hugo shook his head. "Heartless."
Celine smirked. "I try."
As the music shifted into a slower, smoother beat, Hugo decided to push forward.
He looked into her eyes, his tone more serious now. "So, real talk. Do you have a boyfriend?"
Celine paused for a second, then smiled. "I do."
Hugo's brain short-circuited.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
SHE DID?!
The information hit him like a truck.
His body still moved automatically, still swaying to the beat with her, but his brain?
His brain had just gone through a catastrophic system failure.
He blinked. "You do?"
Celine nodded casually. "Yep."
Hugo narrowed his eyes a little. "Then what are you doing dancing with me like this?"
Celine grinned. "Having fun."
Hugo processed this. So she was... taken, but still here, dancing with him. Moving like this. Smirking like that. And worst of all... she knew exactly what she was doing to him.
Hugo groaned internally. He had walked right into this. Hook, line, and sinker.
Who was this boyfriend?
Was he serious?
Was he a problem?
Most importantly...
Did Hugo care?
