"Um... um..." Tiana Grayson was on the verge of tears. 'How can I not be afraid of a man who seems even more intimidating than my own brother?'
"Oh? So reluctant? It seems I am indeed quite intimidating. I'm so sorry to have frightened you, Miss Grayson."
"Mr. Lockwood, you're joking. That's not what I meant," Tiana Grayson replied, forcing a smile and gently shaking her head.
"You have a very beautiful smile, Miss Grayson."
Tiana looked stunned for a moment, then gave a polite nod. "Thank you..."
When Leo Joyce saw Tiana and Jason Lockwood laughing and talking the entire time, he abruptly shoved Aria Joyce, who had been in his arms, away. He strode over to Tiana, and without a word, he pulled their dancing bodies apart.
"Leo, what are you doing?" Tiana asked, tilting her head in confusion as Leo Joyce pulled her behind him.
"I hate these kinds of events. Come with me." With that, Leo Joyce shot Jason Lockwood a vicious glare before turning and pulling Tiana Grayson away.
