It nearly sent her tumbling to the floor on all fours , Luckily , Finn was quick enough to catch and steady her . But before Angela could fully regain her balance , the brute who had bumped into her grabbed her wrist and murmured , May I have this dance , miss ? It was Dexter . Even with his dark costume and makeup , his commanding presence and those deep set , piercing eyes gave his identity away immediately . Why couldnt he leave her alone ? Finn hadnt recognized Dexters voice . Holding onto Angelas hand , he looked Dexter in the eye and said , Shes my partner for this evening , sir . Inwardly , Angela cursed like a sailor vehemently . Still , she chose not to acknowledge Dexter . She pretended as if she didnt recognize him either . Oh , really ? Dexter fixed his gaze on her , his eyes flashing dangerously . So , do you like him ? Angela wanted to answer but hesitated . There were too many people around , and she dreaded Dexter causing a scene . Even if he didnt mind embarrassing himself , she did . Since Angela didnt speak , Dexter chuckled coldly and gave Finn a smug glance . It seems like she doesnt think much of you . Finn frowned and seemed to realize something . Nevertheless , he didnt feel like backing down . After a slight pause , he turned to Angela and cupped her cheeks gently . Then , he placed at kiss on her forehead . Angelas mind went blank . Around them , people started whispering . Wow ! They formed a match without even seeing each others faces . That must be true love , right ? They can see into each others souls with just a glance . How rare ! But why does this feel like a love triangle ? Are the two men fighting over one woman ? The crowd of swans , both white and black , were openly gossiping , their voices far from discreet . Angela wished the earth would just swallow her up . 12 Will that do ? Finn asked , pulling her hand from Dexters grip and leading her am But in the next second , Dexter put a firm hand on Angelas shoulder and pulled her into his arm . Then , he crushed his lips onto hers in a fierce kiss . Angelas head spun at the unexpected kiss . She instinctively put up a fight and resisted him , struggling to push him away . More than anything , she wished she could knee him right where it hurt . The crowd gasped in shock . This mixer was turning out to be quite the spectacle . Unable to bear it any longer , Angela bit down on Dexters lip . He released her with a pained grunt . Her reflexes took over , and she landed a slap on his cheek squarely . The sound of the crisp slap echoed across the hall as Dexters mask fell off , revealing his strikingly handsome but menacingly furious face . Everyone stared in stunned silence . They couldnt believe that the man who had just forcibly kissed a woman after shamelessly interrupting the couples dance only to be met with a resounding slap was none other than Dexter . It was incredible . Angela could already hear the murmurs spreading through the crowd . She saw the storm brewing in Dexters eyes , and she could tell that he was about to blow his top . Run ! In a panic , Angela grabbed Finns arm and fled the scene . Dexter remained standing where he was wished he could strangle her . but all his thoughts had flown to Angela . How he Are you okay , Dexter ? Elena , who was standing nearby , asked hesitantly . She then urged , Lets go . Elena felt uneasy as she looked at the faint redness in his face .

To Elena , this wasnt a good sign at all .
