"Can I say no?" asked I weakly, even though I knew refusing would not have any effect.

I hadn't danced for a long time. I wasn't opposed to it. It was just that I felt a little unfamiliar with the dance steps now. If others saw me dance, they would probably laugh at me. I might also embarrass Anton and Myron.

"Imagine, in a while, everyone will be dancing in the middle of the dance floor, while you and I will be 'squashed' among them. Anton smiled. He could tell that I was hesitant. "Just follow my steps. I'm sure you will get the hang of it soon."

Since that was the case, I decided to give it a shot. Plus, it wasn't like I didn't dance with Anton at the Alpha Conference all those years ago. I nodded at him and said, "Okay."
