April is the Best Month for Wedding

"Happy Birthday! And please stop urging me, babe. I’ve arrived at your hotel. The dinner party starts at eight. It’s only seven and fifteen. Let me take a short rest for half an hour and then go down to meet you, okay? Hmm, love you."   April had just returned from an island to attend her best friend Stella's birthday party. After seven consecutive days of kitesurfing learning journey, except for exhaustion, got sunburned, and drunk lots of sea water, nothing was learned.   After getting off the plane and going home, she quickly dressed up, and then rushed to the hotel opened by Stella's family.   The hotel manager arranged an exclusive room each guest to rest. April picked up her key card at the hotel lobby and dragged a heavy pace to finally get to the presidential suite arranged by Stella for her.   Without taking off her high heels, she sank into the depth of dreamland. Until 7:45, April was suddenly awakened by the alarm clock, "f**k, don’t wanna get up."   It seem that she didn't put the shawl on her leg before going to bed. Was Ashley back?   Stumbled out of the living room and saw a man sitting on the sofa with his back to her, April ran over happily, covering the man's cheek with her soft hands, and then kneading it like a dough. "Ashley, you finally..." came back. April has not finished saying her words. She was grabbed by the man with his hands and crossed them. Her whole body was turned 180 degrees, and his waist was placed on the sofa.   "Who are you? Why do you show up in my room?"   April’s body was already exhausted, plus the sudden rotation, she  couldn't respond for several seconds. It looked like she may die suddenly. She wanted to open her eyes, but was pierced by the strong light from the ceiling. Her wrists extremely slender was held tightly by the man, the man looked at her condescendingly, but April didn't look like any aggressive person, but rather like a fish speared by a fisherman.   The man hesitated for a moment, let go of April, and supported her head with a generous palm to make her stand firmly again, but April was a little frightened. Her legs have lost all the energy and she slumped on the ground.   Suddenly the living room door was opened. Ashley saw April, who was sitting on the ground. While pressing the emergency call button of the Bluetooth headset, he rushed to April and grabbed April’s shoulders and asked, “What did he do to you? Need a doctor?"   April buried her face in Ash's neck, trying to calm herself down.   In the next second, ten bodyguards rushed into the living room. The bodyguards glanced around, all raised their guns, aimed at the strange man, and surrounded him. Two of the bodyguards closed the door and stood outside and Waited for orders.   April saw Ashley and her familiar bodyguards. She calmed down finally, and she was about to say that she was okay.   The next second, the door was kicked open, and the two bodyguards who were in charge of guarding outside the door gave an ouch and were kicked into the suite. A dozen more bodyguards rushed in. The situation was reversed in an instant.   The strange man and Ashley glanced at each other, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was frozen.   April felt that the situation was not right. The strange man didn't seem to want to break in, and she didn't suffer any substantial harm.   Ashley has always defended April since he was a teen. Every time April encounters danger, he over reacts. The two groups are evenly matched, and it was no good either side to fight.   So she broke the deadlock: "Would you like to sit down and have a talk?"   April Stood up, walked towards the sofa and sat down with Ashley across from the strange man.   April squeezed Ashley's wrist and motioned with her eyes to tell the bodyguards to step back first, as a sign of sincerity. Ashley hesitated a second and ordered the bodyguards to exit the suite.   The strange man also nodded toward the door, and both waves of bodyguards exited the door, standing in a row outside the suite, waiting to be called at any time.   April pondered her words and said, "My name is April. I am one of the invited guests at the birthday party tonight. This suite is arranged for me to rest. Sir, would you mind telling me your name, and the reason of coming to my room? "   When he heard the name "April", the man frowned and returned to his cold expression, "Ace. The key card was given by the hotel. I don't know who made the mistake."   April immediately remembered that she had mistakenly identified Ace as Ashley, and kneaded his face. She was so embarrassed did not know what to say.   April used her poker face to cover her embarrassment, "That's probably the staff gave the wrong key card, Ashley, please ask the hotel staff to find out the truth." "Okay." Ashley replied briefly.   The outspoken April couldn't hold back, and asked, "Then you saw me sleeping in the room, why didn't you wake me up?"   "I did. You didn't wake up." Ace said. That means April slept like a pig. She was embarrassed and angry, and the theater in her brain began to play the scene of April beating Ace.   "Since it was a misunderstanding, the dinner is about to begin now. Let's all go downstairs to the party together." Ashley said.   Ace nodded slowly, got up and walked out the door.   "Here you are. Your favorite salted lemon candy."   Hearing the salted lemon candy, Ace stopped walking and glanced back.   Ashley was stroking April's head, smoothing her long black curly hair.   April saw the candy, and his eyes lit up, "I haven't eaten it for a whole week. Ashhhh, can I have one more piece?" Ashley's eyes softened a lot by her cute expression.   Ashley was about to speak, and noticed that Ace hadn't left.   The two looked at each other again. Ace was still expressionless, but the next second he continued to walk outside the door.   April complained to Ashley about the hardships and walked down the stairs leading to the lobby.   Dérive Hotel was located in the bustling city center of HS city. It was one of Stella’s father’s properties. In order to celebrate Stella’s birthday, the entire hotel was closed for three days and was dedicated to holding dinner parties.   The dinner basically invited the second generation of officials and wealthy families from the entire HS city. Stella's hometown is not in HS city, but her current import and export trading company needed to gain a foothold in HS City. She needed to expand her contacts for her own business, so she sent out invitations to join this party. She took the dinner as a breakthrough to enter this group of people.   "April, didn't you wear sunscreen? I can hardly recognize you." Stella hugged April and said. "Please don’t mention about it anymore. I can only see my original skin from my chest and butt."  Ash heart April’s reply and smile faintly. "I told you it would be more better hook up handsome guys with me.By the way, I heard that the inheritor and new CEO of the LC Group will also come today. It is said that he is sooo good-looking." "The new CEO of LC Group? Never heard of it." Stella whispered to April's, "It's in your four o'clock direction." April slowly turned her head, glanced, and saw Ace walking down the stairs. The first impression Ace left her was not good.  "Don’t try him. There are thousands of Handsome guys you can hook up. He is definitely your last choice." "You know him?" "Will tell you my story later."   The party officially started, Stella gave a welcome speech. And then danced the first dance with her new boy friend. April and Ash also followed the crowd onto the dance floor and waltzed.   Ash has always been April's partner in all kinds of formal occasions. He has a gentle and kind personality. Plus his handsome face, he was always the focus of girls' attention.   April's eyes kept sweeping the handsome men and beauties in the party,but only April was in Ash's eyes. Suddenly April saw Ace standing on the edge of dance floor, watching her. April turned a circle, and saw that Ace was still staring at her expressionless.   April hated this strange feeling. It was just a touch of his face. Why kept staring at her? Ace had a special temperament that made people just want to get farther and farther away from him. He was good-looking as Ash. But Ash was very approachable. And people could see from Ace’s face that he really did not like to talk with anybody.   April tried to shake Ace off her mind and gained confidence again. He was just a man. Nothing special.   Ash watched the slight change of April's expression, followed April's gaze to see Ace, and then distract April's attention. Ash asked whether she planned to go home tonight or spend the night with Stella in the hotel.   April thought for a while, "Just go home, I miss Sunny. And Stella would like to f**k her new boy friend tonight I think." Sunny was April’s orange cat.   After one dance, April and Ash sat down on sofa to rest. And then Ace walked straight towards April.   April was not sure Ace was came for her at first. But Ace stopped in from of her. And she was getting nervous for no reason.   April pretended to be calm and showed her poker faces whenever she was nervous. She could not figure out why Ace came to her.   Was Ace still angry about touching his face and came for revenge? Ace raised his right hand....   To Be Continue......   Author’s words: Hi, guys.
