Chapter 51: PARTY
It was the next day at Adrain’s house. He was starting to panic because his email sent to the Walters corporations has been rejected again. The deal he got earlier has been completed and he needs to find another potential company and his eyes were aiming for the Walters corporations.
Adrian has never partnered with them before but he was looking forward to it. He was in his study room trying to think of a possible proposal that they would never reject when a knock came in and someone entered.
"Adrain, guess what?" Felicia asked excitedly.
"Not now, Felicia. Am busy", he said while writing on a piece of paper and in frustration of making another mistake, he crumpled it and threw it in the trash bin that had other crumpled papers in it.
Felicia didn’t bother to hear him and continued, "You are invited to the party held at the Gustavo villa", she informed and Adrian quickly looked up and saw the fancy invitation card in her hands.
The Gustavo had the biggest industrial companies in the city and abroad. They were also in the same rank as the Walters and Anderson Corporations. It was a big surprise for Adrain Hart to be invited to such a big event.
Adrain got up and took the invitation card from Felicia and read the words on it and it only confirmed that he was indeed invited. He read some of the guest lists that were also written on the left corner of the invitation card and his eyes caught the Walters corporations.
This was a great opportunity for him, he would finally be able to meet the CEO of the Walters corporations and not only that, he would be able to meet other big CEOs as well. This was a win-win for him.
"I need to go buy a new dress for the party", Felicia said which brought back Adrain from his thoughts.
"Wait...why?" He asked as a frown formed on his face.
"The card says you can bring a plus one so since I am your wife, you are taking me with you", she explained to Adrain.
Adrain had been too focused on the names written on the card that he didn’t see the part where he could bring a plus one.
"Alright, but you better behave yourself when we get there. This is a huge party and important people are going to be there. If you ruin this for me, I will ruin you", he threatened Felicia who only smiled at him and left.
What he didn’t know was that Felicia was not going there to be his wife but she was going because like he said, important people will be there. Which means the powerful and rich CEOs, so if she is able to seduce any man there, it would be a huge jackpot for her.
Time passed quickly and it was finally the day for the party. Erika was in their room, applying some make up while Ethan was wearing his suit. The party would be starting in the next 3 hours so there was no need for them to rush things.
Erika was wearing a simple black dress that didn’t hugged her body so as to look professional but she wore a matching black belt that came with the dress around her waist. She did her hair to curl around her face. With some earrings and some necklace.
Ethan on the other hand wore a black suit that matched Erika’s dress. It was also a simple suit but his handsome face and aura made him look exquisite in it.
When they were both done, they left the house and got into the car to head to their destination. The ride from their house to the Gustavo villa only took an hour.
At the Gustavo villa, the whole area was packed with the press, several sports car with people who came out from it. When it was time for the car Ethan and Erika were in to stop at the red carpet, the press rushed forward to take pics of the couple that would alight from the car next.
Ethan was the first to alight from the car and he went to the other side of the car to open the door for Erika.
The press were shocked when the saw the CEO of the Anderson Corporations at the event. He had always rejected every invitation that was sent to him but he was here and he came with someone? They all became anticipated to see who the lady could be.
Long smooth legs first stepped out from the car and the body followed. Ethan handed Erika a hand to help her and she took it. Everyone surrounded them as they were still curious to see the face of the woman.
GASP!!!
The whole crowd gasped in shock when the lady completely stepped out from the car. Her long free dress dropped on the ground as she walked hand in hand with Ethan. Her black dress with her devil facial beauty and calm aura gave her the villainess vibe. She looked too stunning and the press didn’t wait a second and they rushed towards them to start taking pics.
"Mr Anderson, could you tell us who you are with today?" A female press asked Ethan.
"Mr Anderson, isn’t this this ex wife of Adrain Hart? Why did you take her as your plus one knowing she was Adrain Hart’s ex wife" A male pressed asked next.
When Erika heard the question that the male press asked, she paused her heels and faced him.
"And why not? Is it written on my forehead that I am Mr Adrain Hart’s ex wife? If I may ask, is there a problem if I come here with Mr Anderson as a plus one?" she asked back to the male reporter. Her tone was calm but her gaze were fierce.
The male reporter gulped down his saliva in fear. He felt suffocated with Ethan’s glare the most, the man didn’t dare ask anymore question.
The other reporters saw what had happened and they quickly shut their mouths that were about to spill a similar question. The way was parted for them and they walked inside the villa as their names were announced.
The inside was huge and loud due to the chatters of the people who were already in. Huge chandeliers were hung up on the ceiling that shone bright colors to lighten up the place. There were several tables and chairs arranged for people to sit and relax. Waiters passed around with a tray filled with glasses of champagne.
From the way the men and women dressed, one would know that they weren’t just ordinary people.
Ethan took Erika’s hand and went to go sit on a chair to wait for the actual event to commence.
"Are you feeling alright?" He asked Erika who was slightly shaking her head.
"Yeah. Just a little dizzy because of the camera flashes", she replied and collected a glass of champagne that Ethan handed over to her. "Thanks".
"We won’t be here for long. After Mr Gustavo gives his speech later, we will congratulate him and leave, okay?" He said and Erika nodded obediently. She was not used to coming to events like this. When she had to go with Felix to some parties back in New York, it wouldn’t be long before she became tired. I guess partying is just not made for me, she thought to herself.
