My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 145 – Enzo can dance

Lila's POV

Was he laughing?

I had never seen Enzo laughing before and for some reason, it was warming my heart immensely. He had a really nice smile and an even better laugh.

Enzo was also a very good dancer, and I never took him for someone who could dance. He never did this kind of thing at home. At least I didn't think so.

But he moved effortlessly like he’s done this a million times before.

I was surprised when he took my hand and suggested we danced.

Everybody had their attention on us, and they were cheering us on and dancing along. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"What a beautiful couple!” I heard a couple of girls saying

“She's so lucky; he's so handsome!”

"She's gorgeous. He's the lucky one!”

“They dance beautifully together.”

I beamed up at Enzo, his face illuminating under the crystal lighting of the art gallery. His smile lit up the entire room and my heart raced in my chest.

At that moment, our horrible talk this morning completely faded from my mind. I couldn't even remember why I was upset with him in the first place.

He wrapped me in his arms and spun me around again. Then, he put his hands on my waist and lifted me above his head; I did a flip over him and landed on the ground behind him. He laughed again as he turned around to face me.

The song began to slow down, and I knew this indicated the end of the tune. We were both breathing heavily, only inches from one another.

"Don't forget I have the assembly tomorrow afternoon,” Cassidy-Ann reminded me.

I was proud to say I did not forget this one.

“I already have your notecards prepared,” I told her. “I've been working on them all week for your assembly. They'll be on your desk in the morning.”

"Awesome," she said with a fond smile.

“Enzo, will you be attending the assembly?” She asked, batting her eyes at him.

"Yes, I'll be there,” Enzo said, keeping his tone even.

I remembered the last time Enzo and I went to dinner with Cassidy-Ann. He got handsy under the table; my face grew hot just thinking about it. He behaved this time; probably because he no longer wanted me in that kind of way. Or at least he was pretending he didn't so it would be easier for when we return home.

That's what I kept telling myself.

Cassidy-Ann also invited him to her hotel suite, but he declined the offer. I wondered why she was still making advances at her even though she knew he was uninterested

It made me wonder if something really was going on between them.

Enzo's phone dinged and he frowned down at the screen. It was a text message that he read quickly before putting his phone back into his pocket.

Did I have a right to ask him who it was?

Maybe I shouldn't.

But it was too late; I was staring at Enzo and that was a question alone.

“It was Connie,” he answered my unspoken question, causing my heart to sink into my stomach. “She just wanted to tell me she’s leaving Monstro in the morning. I guess my mother is picking her up from the airport.”

“I thought she already left,” I said, furrowing my brows together.

"She changed hotels. But she couldn't get a flight until tomorrow.”

“I see...” I breathed. “Are you okay? I know she’s your best friend and was probably difficult to kick her out.”

“It was very difficult, yes,” he answered. “I've known her my entire life. She's always been like a sister to me. That's why I couldn't believe she would do something like this. But when we return, I'll talk to her. Maybe I can figure out what was going on in her brain. Until then, it's better if we took space.” “l agree,” I said, looking down at my food. “I hope you can salvage your friendship.”

I wasn't sure if I truly meant that or not; I didn't like Connie, but I also didn't want Enzo to lose a friend. Despite her trying to manipulate him. But it's not like she had her way with her; she just wanted him to think they had sex.

It was still wrong, but maybe her heart was in the right place. It's obvious how much she loves Enzo I don't blame her.

Enzo didn’t say much more about the topic.

Cassidy-Ann changed the subject soon after and we talked more business for the rest of the evening.

There had to be hundreds of students in the assembly room. Seats filled quickly; everybody was eager to hear from Cassidy-Ann, their art idol.

I was excited too even though I wrote her note cards. I already knew what she was going to talk about, but I couldn't wait to hear the words come from her mouth.

I stood nearby the stage with Enzo and a couple of other guards who overlooked Cassidy-Ann. She stood at the podium and began talking to the students as if they were her friends. She spoke so effortlessly and with so much knowledge. She answered questions as they came in and I was impressed by how easy it was for her.

I never thought of myself as someone who could get stage fright, but I never talked to an audience this big before. I definitely don't think I could do this that effortlessly.

“Now, I want my assistant to say a few words about her experiences. Let's give a warm welcome to Lila!"
