Arabel, having made her final decision, left the restroom in search of her "Supreme husband."
The time allotted for completing the task was coming to an end, and she felt an increasing sense of urgency. It was necessary to act quickly.
It was at this moment that the host of the gala evening announced the beginning of the dance part and invited everyone to the dance floor. The youth immediately perked up.
Arabel, surprised and a little elated, thought that this was exactly what she needed. She wondered if the System knew that the dance part would start within the set time.
"Most likely, yes," she decided.
Due to the large number of participants, Arabel couldn't find Idan quickly.
Instead, young people began to approach her, attracted by her appearance, and invited her to dance. However, she waved her hand and continued her search for Idan without answering.
Those who knew Arabel well noticed her agitated demeanor.: It was as if she was looking for someone in the crowd, and this aroused the curiosity of others.
Arabel's younger brother, Arslan, also noticed that his older sister was restless. He barely squeezed through a group of girls who surrounded him and, from time to time, quarreled among themselves and tried to attract his attention. After getting rid of them, Arslan followed Arabel.
Soon Arabel was noticed by her so-called fiance, who at that moment was hugging two young and beautiful girls. In response, they, unable to resist his charms, whispered tender words to him, trying to seduce him.
Finally, finding Idan, who was quietly drinking with his sister Irene and a middle-aged woman, Arabel felt real excitement for the first time.
Although she had already made up her mind, she was still overwhelmed with embarrassment and excitement. She knew that her family would not stay away from this act, because by her actions she was going against their will.
The closer she got to Idan, the more her excitement grew. In the end, she got so excited that she could even hear her heart pounding in her head. Her face was flushed with embarrassment, like a ripe tomato.
The situation was aggravated by the fact that Idan's sister was one of the most influential heroines, and many young people, not only boys, but also girls, were watching them closely.
There was no turning back, many people noticed how she was approaching their table. Pulling herself together and trying to suppress her embarrassment, Arabel looked at Idan, who had just noticed her and was surprised to see her.
Finally, she made up her mind and asked:
"Don't you want to dance?
"I did it! There's no turning back anymore!" Arabel screamed in her mind, waiting for Idan's answer.
Idan, like everyone who knew Arabel well, was distraught by what was happening.
Arabel's younger brother was the most impressed. He, like no one else, understood his sister. In his opinion, she would never have taken the initiative and made the first step towards a guy. It all seemed strange and even a mistake to him, which temporarily knocked him out of his rut.
Among the crowd, one person couldn't contain his anger. It was Christopher, Arabelle's fiance. He was well aware that his fiancee had no warm feelings for him, but he was sure that she would become his wife. His Hugh family and the Morgan family can't cancel the arrangement unless they want the two families to become enemies.
Only two events could change the current situation: Arabel's awakening or his own. There is very little time left before the second vaccination of the awakening serum, and soon he will have the opportunity to find a new life. If he manages to do this, he will immediately take possession of Arabel and will not allow her to escape. He would show her who was in charge, remind her of all her sins, and make her regret what she had done.
What she did was a blow not only to his reputation, but also to the reputation of the entire Hugh family and the Morgan family. All the representatives of high society were well aware of the marriage contract between their families.
[A little advice to the Host. Accept the invitation!] A monotonous voice rang out in Idan's head, snapping him out of his daze.
"The system! Is what I think is behind her actions?" Idan said, coming to his senses. The System's voice instantly brought him to his senses, and a guess popped into his head that he couldn't help but ask.
[The answer is yes] — the System has confirmed.
After receiving a response from the System, Idan realized what was behind Arabel's actions and made a decision too. He had been thinking for a long time about how to meet her and talk to her. He didn't want to force her to become his "wife" if she wasn't ready for it herself. But her first step towards him made it clear that she had already made a decision and was not going to miss this opportunity. How could he not meet her halfway?
Irene watched with undisguised displeasure as Arabel approached her younger brother again and this time asked him to dance. However, she didn't do anything and waited for her brother to reject her.
To her surprise, Idan put his drink on the table, calmly stood up, straightened his suit, looked at Arabel, bowed gracefully to her and extended his right hand.
"I will be glad to accompany you, my lady," Idan replied, accepting Arabel's invitation to dance.
Arabel, still embarrassed, held out her hand to Idan, and he took her hand and looked into her eyes. Her face was red even before she approached him and asked him to dance. But now, looking at her beautiful and red face, Idan couldn't help but blush too. The guests watching them couldn't help but notice their awkwardness.
Both of them at that moment wanted to find a deep hole where they could hide from embarrassment.
Arabel was the first to recover. She noticed that many people were watching them. Her brother and fiance were among them. She also noticed the intimidating gaze of Idan's older sister.
Before anyone could stop her and prevent her from completing the task assigned by the System, Arabel dragged the still confused Idan to the dance floor. Those who were blocking their way quickly gave way, and they quickly reached the dance floor.
Idan finally came to his senses and realized that he actually couldn't dance.
