Expensive cars worth millions kept pulling in front of the venue, one of which Lila alighted from in magnificent glory, dressed in a red short gown , tight and showing her curves and cleavage, and a black stiletto, her smooth and black hairs was left unpack,falling over her shoulder, her neck was accompanied by a gold necklace and 24K gold earrings ,and her fingers clutched around her purse, she looks so breathtaking and every guys and guards she walked by turned to take another look at her, drooling and tripping. She was a very beautiful lady.
She walked into the venue, looking through the area full of heirs and heiresses. The party was made for elite only, sons and daughters of millionaires and billionaires, and the venue was decorated accordingly. The venue was spacious, the tables and chairs were well decorated and arranged neatly, and the aroma of expensive meal filled the air, along with juices and alcohols of all kinds, the decorated area adorned the sprawling garden, a display of opulence that matched the grandeur of the occasion.
“Hey Lila!” .
She heard a female voice called out her name with giggles and turned to see her friend, she smiled and walked majestically to their table.
“Thought you were going to miss the occasion?” Stella said grinning,
“Not for anything,” she said giggling. One the attendants came forward and poured a glass of red wine the stepped back.”
Lila looked around the place filled with a cacophony of laughter, music, and conversation. She could see some people pairing up, meeting new people, getting contacts, gaining connections.
“But why are you late ?”spencer asked sipping his whiskey,
“That stinky trash delayed me “,
“Let me guess, Mary?”, Spencer asked,
“Who else does she call that “, Stella said,
“She calls James trash also”, Stella laughed saying,
“Speaking of that , he has been staring and grinning at you since you came” Spencer drew her attention to it ,
“Ugh! Do you have to tell me that, I hate his gut”,
“Who doesn’t? That s*x offender”.
Spencer quickly covered Stella’s mouth,
“No can hear you , his father paid millions to keep this from the public, and everyone already forgot what he did , he’s now a known billionaire in the country”,
“Everyone except me , spending a few years in prison is nothing” gritting her teeth , Stella groaned,
“Of course,that almost ruined his life, he spent some years in prison, he’s such a loser and a coward”, Lila uttered before sipping her wine,
“But it didn’t ruin his life,people barely remember now”, Stella said ,
“It’s now his past so let’s forget all about that”, Stella tried to change the topic ,
“He’s indeed shameless to act like nothing ever happened just because he served some years in prison; his smile disgusts me; what were your parents thinking when his family tendered a marriage plan? Ugh! If it’s me, I’m going to kill myself”.
“It was unthinkable for me when my Dad came home telling me that Arthur’s family offered a marriage plan and I’m going to be marrying that loser; I wanted to cry .”
“Stella laughed, “I’m picturing your facial expression when you heard that”,
“It was horrible “
“He had always had his eyes on you,everyone knows of his obsession over you”, Spencer said,” Isn’t that why you were the first person he requested to meet after getting out of prison?”
“That was creepy and annoying “,
“Lila ran away to Greece immediately after she heard that”, Stella said and they all laughed at her except Lila who didn’t find that funny,
“It was not funny”,
“I love your tricky and smart smooth though, marrying off your cousin instead of you”, Spencer applauded,
“You should have just declined that offer, Stella suggested ,
“I can’t , my father’s cooperation needs every support and connection they can get right now for his project, which is the main reason for me attending this event, we’re about to enter some trouble”,
“Going broke?”
“Never “, she replied firmly, “ Just needs some hands to push the project forward “,
“You already have James “, Stella pointed ,
“Not enough “
“Not enough?”
“The projects is worth trillions, it’s international, construction, resorts and planes, the budget is quite huge and we need investors “,
“Then you”ll need billionaire’s connections “ Spencer said,
“I know right”,
“But would it be easy?The best way is to get married to one of them, and right now, there are five invisible billionaires, the richest elites in the United States. How will you get married to one of them when you’re secretly dating Lewis?”
Stella asked,
“I even forgot about him”, Spencer remembered,
“Forget about him , he’s just a millionaire, I’ll deal with him later so tell me , who are the five invisible.”
“Okay, the number one and two are older people, enough to be your father if not grandfather…”
“Enough,next”, she cut Spencer short,she did not have time for stories,they were ‘no go area’ for her, she’s too young and beautiful to be married to someone that will soon die,
“Number five is married , number four is engaged…”
“Lila groaned relaxing back on her chair ,”and the third one?”
“You don’t wanna know unless you’ll go for 6 to 10”
“I need the top five, who is number three?”
“Number three is Max Clinton”,
“Max clinton?”, The two of them said at once,
