Today is the day that Laura has been waiting for. On this day, this hour, this minute, and this very second, she had to attend the wedding reception of her ex-boyfriend and ex-best friend. Laura was getting ready in her room with some makeup artists that Justin had called. She had refused, but Justin insisted on having them dress her.

Now, the make-up artists were doing Laura's hair. Her face was done with natural make-up. Laura didn't want it to be thick, she just wanted it to be thin.

It took a while, but finally Laura's hair was done. After that, Laura wore her dress that Justin bought yesterday with the help of some make-up artists.

"Done! Uhm... You're so pretty, Miss!" squealed one of the make-up artists, satisfied with her and her friends' work.

"Thank you." said Laura. She looked at her reflection in the mirror with disbelief. Was it really her? God, she didn't feel like the usual Laura. She felt like a high-class lady.

Laura then put on the heels that Justin had bought for her yesterday. When she left the room, she was very nervous to approach Justin who was waiting for her in the living room. When she saw him fiddling with his cell phone, she felt even more nervous.

Justin, who heard the sound of heels, raised his head. He was immediately stunned to see that the woman in front of him had turned into an angel. Laura was speechless as Justin stared at her in silence. She thought she must look really bad. Oh my God!

"Do I look bad?"

Justin realized immediately. "No, you're... perfect."

Blushing

Laura felt her cheeks blush with embarrassment now. Justin stood up and walked over to her and gave her his arm to hold. Laura was a little hesitant, but seeing Justin's gaze, she immediately wrapped her arms around him and walked together to the car.

In front of Justin's mansion, there was already a limousine with a driver and several bodyguards.

Robby bowed respectfully to Justin and opened the door. After Justin and Laura got in, the chauffeur drove the car with several black cars behind him, which were Justin's bodyguards. The bodyguards were brought by Justin just in case. He knew Samuel and Gabriel were rich kids, so there were bound to be a lot of business partners or journalists coming.

The black limousine stopped right in front of the entrance of the event. There was a red carpet to greet them and many journalists were already there.

The bodyguards that Justin brought immediately got out of the car and blocked the journalist. Justin got out of his car followed by Laura. She wrapped her hand around Justin's arm when he told her to.

The sound of camera shots was overwhelming. It all made Laura feel a little uncomfortable, especially with the questions asked by all the reporters. She just silently followed Justin's orders in the car.

Justin, realizing Laura's discomfort, took her inside. As they entered the door, many eyes were immediately drawn to them. Justin let go of Laura's arm. He moved his hand to Laura's waist when he realized so many men were staring at him hungrily as well as pouncing.

"We should congratulate the bride and groom." Justin whispered.

Laura steeled her heart and nodded slowly. She had to do it, she had mentally prepared herself during the car ride.

"Congratulations to you." Laura said as she held out her hand.

Gabriel and Samuel looked surprised at Laura's presence that they had been waiting for. Also her appearance, especially with Justin beside her.

"Laura."

Laura raised her hand and shook it once. Gabriela immediately greeted her with pleasure. Justin, who saw Samuel's admiring gaze, tightened his arms around Laura's waist.

Samuel realized it, he smiled slightly. Even though he was just amazed, he loved Gabriel.

"Laura, have you forgiven me?" Gabriel asked anxiously.

No answer came from Laura's lips. She looked at Justin who was smiling at her. Laura bit her lower lip feeling hesitant and a little unwilling.

"Yes, I forgive you." she replied in a very flat voice making Gabriel sad and disappointed.Even so, Gabriel knew he was more evil here, he betrayed Laura and married her.

Samuel immediately hugged the sad Gabriel, which did not go unnoticed by Laura. She felt her heart ache but she tried to smile, even though it was only a faint smile that she showed.

"Laura, give us a chance to explain..." Gabriel whispered.

"Yes Laura, you have to hear our explanation Laura." Samuel said guiltily.

"I will enjoy the program, congratulations on your wedding. I wish you all the happiness." Laura said and walked away from them as well as Justin. Before leaving, Justin gave Gabriel and Samuel a sharp and cold stare. That's right, from the moment he met them he gave them that look.

"Laura, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." she replied flatly.

Suddenly all the lights went out. Only one light was on in the dance section and the music was very soft and romantic. A couple was seen dancing, followed by others dancing.

Justin held out his hand to Laura. "Want to dance with me?"

"I'm not good at dancing Justin."

"That's okay, just follow me." Justin shook his hand.

Laura took it hesitantly and walked after Justin. She followed Justin who told her to put both hands on the nape of the man's neck while Justin's hands were on her waist.

"It seems like brides are always the center of attention." Justin said to Laura.

Lauda looked up. "Of course, it's their event and their happy day, definitely the center of attention. It can't be the guests who are the center of attention."

"Oh yeah? Let's change the direction of their eyes." Justin smiled wryly. You just follow me, and you'll get used to it."

One of Laura's hands was on Justin's shoulder and the other was intertwined with Justin's fingers. They danced beautifully, Laura easily learning and following Justin. She spun around when Justin let go of her waist and then caught her again. They danced in a circle that grew wider and wider as the crowd retreated.
