"Dance?" Alina questioned with a smile, checking that she'd heard him correctly when he had put a coherent sentence together. "Of could I would!" She replied quickly, wondering why Liam had appeared so nervous, and then so dismissive with himself. She took a sip of drink, and waited for him to take the lead. What a perfect way to remove herself from her current uncomfortable position. Spend some time on the dancefloor with a good friend and enjoying herself. Perhaps Benjamin would see what see meant...
Liam looked at Alina. "I...I'm F...i..n...n...e" He smiled as he tried to calm his nerves. He hoped that he would be able to by the time they had finished dancing though he had this feeling that he would be even more nervous after the dance. He wondered if he would ever be able to look at Alina in the eyes again. He had just asked his ex boss if she wanted to dance, how could he.
He smiled when she said that she would dance with him. "G...r....e....a....t." He said trying to smile and sound normal. He was sure that she was thinking that he was crazy and who blaimed her. He had been so busy with work that he was nervous about getting the right result in that. He wanted to impress the new boss by working hard and doing the job correctly. He looked at Alina. "s...o shall we D..a...n...c...e then?" He grabbed a drink and drank it. Once he had finished he put it down and smiled as he went to the dance floor and waited for Alina to follow him.
