The venue of the party is in the nearby high-end hotel which is also owned by the Martinez... Well, that's their main business and I don't pay much attention to that... The business world was wide and complex and right now I couldn't see anything but sophisticated women with their businessmen husbands. Elite people were chattering and of course, because my mom has Lots of friends right after we entered the hall those women immediately flocked to her.
"Viel---"
"Come here, let's find a seat."
He muttered and held my elbow once again while we were on our way to the vacant Table and just like what often happens since before, Viel is a head turner 'cause right now women at his age and even you get were not watching him as they whispered and giggled.
He dragged the chair for me to make the seat and he remained standing while his eyes were glued to my back.
"Luka, she's fine here, leave her to me."
The seriousness of Viel's voice gives me goosebumps.
I turned my head to look at them and there I saw my bodyguard cool standing while masking a serious and stiff facade
He's doing his job very well.
"Mr. Tyson told me to look out for her, Viel," Luka said briefly as he stands firm.
"She's with me, she's safe," Viel muttered.
But wait... Are they not on good terms? Why they're not cutting this conversation...
But after a moment a waiter who serves drinks caught my attention.
I glance at Viel and I think he just doesn't like Luka's presence right now 'cause hes determined to keep me away from him.
I sighed.
"Whatever," I muttered.
"Ahem, hey..." I called the one who's serving the drinks.
"Good evening ma'am, want some?" He greeted me and offered me a glass of drink.
I was smiling and was about to accept the glass of alcoholic wine from him when someone took it first and place it back on the tray where it was placed.
"Don't give that to her, get her a glass of juice instead... Pineapple."
Viel commanded seriously. Then afterward he glances at me.
My brows almost tangled as I looked at him annoyingly.
"What? I want to have some!" I fired at him.
But just like always, he doesn't want to listen so he turned I looked at my bodyguard once again.
"Luka, you can enjoy yourself there instead of looking for me, dad won't mind though," I said so the bit of tension reduce a bit... These men and their problems.
I was pouting and I tried to call again the waiter for drinks but I just earned a glare from Viel.
"No drinks for you," he said and took the seat beside me.
I just snorted and didn't look at him.
I scanned the place and since I'm often attending parties because that's what my parents where to spend my time if I have so I have no choice. And I'm already used to I see elite people...
They're not intimidating at all.
After a couple of minutes, I saw the waiter a while ago approaching here while carrying the tray where the glass of pineapple juice... That's for me.
I looked at him and then I looked at Viel.
He was just serious not minding the stares from girls and flashing of cameras in our direction.
We're used to that though and still, I really hate that flashing effects it stings in the eyes as hell!
" here's your juice ma'am"
The waiter says and. bowed before he excused himself.
I looked behind my back and I could see Luka where he's standing a while ago, and I just spotted him in the crowd with other guests who seems to know him and these women too.
I shrugged well that's better.
"Your juice, Karina." He said and move the glass of pineapple juice near me.
Our eyes locked for seconds before he avoided the different color eyes of his.
My parents of course were busy.
If I could just take a nap here, I would.
I don't really want to come to such gathering but I need to.
" Oh, hey Viel, I'm so had to see you here."
All of a sudden I heard the annoying voice of Bella.
Just after a moment, I saw her in front of me trying to flirt with the unresponsive Viel on her side
Trying hard huh?
She was wearing a green tight sexy dress and she also checked me out while raising her eyebrows at me.
" I'm glad you attend, KC"
She smirks at me fakely.
.fake!
" Oh, anyway since I'm done visiting the other tables... I want to join with you here guys, is that okay?" Bella smiled cutely, but duhh... she's not cute though, I'm cuter than her.
" Excuse me, I'm going to the garden, I want some fresh air." I said monotonously and I didn't wait for their answer, I stood up and directly walk away.
I sigh while making my way to the garden of this hotel, well... if could just remember, garden Is my favorite spot whenever I'm attending such gatherings.
I was meters away when I looked back, and from the distant I saw the face of Bella in grimace as she cross her arms while looking at me while glaring.
I smirk, well... maybe she's disappointed because Viel wasn't on his seat anymore, it seems like he followed me but he was blocked by one of the known businessman so he stopped and talk with that person for a while.
I shrugged as I continued my way out... after all this is what I always do whenever I'm in this situation... I want a fresh air and suffocating surrounding.
"Oh, hey! Karina!"
all of the sudden, someone called me. I was oblivious at first and didn't recognize that voice but when he suddenly appeared in front of me I saw the man I had bumped with last time.
What's his name again? I just know he's the brother of Bella... and what makes me frowned I'd that he's with Sandro! Crisha's cousin.
