Tormenting him!

'Shouldn't he support my act and say a few words?' she muttered under her breath but continued to act coquettishly. They would surely take her as a witch who had spellbound their hero. She was sure that nobles would take her as a wicked woman when they saw that Leo was dancing on her fingers! But she waited patiently, yet Leo did not say a word.

She fumed but her face turned teary, she buried her face in his arms and acted as if she was trying to hide her tears. She took a deep sigh as it was difficult to act when your partner forgot all his lines and acted like a statue.

She waited for a second for anyone to react. Either Leo would speak something or Olivia would lunge towards her and shout again. She had done her part of the act, and she did not know how to continue the drama alone. But nothing happened, there was deafening silence as if she was alone in that huge corridor.
