Fallen For The Arabian

Chapter 4

As the sweet melodic music been played by the musician floated in the air, Sarah could already imagine the content of her article. With excitement coursing through her vain, she couldn't wait to go home and start typing away. She was not the only one having fun, Anna looks to be in a blissful world, her eyes were sparkling and she had a feeling that they both may work on the article. That wouldn't be a first. Together they have gone to many events that it has become a golden rule to give their input into each other articles.

It was exactly eight o'clock when an MC walked into the prearrange stage, prompting everyone to quiet down. The ladies had a clear view of the stage that they didn't bother approaching closer to the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our 9th annual banquet. I am Michael Vendur, your host for the night. Our theme tonight "renaissance" is our way of leaving behind the old technology and embraces the modern well advance technology. Our team has worked hard to produce it and we believe the public will be more than satisfied. After all, we do our best to satisfy our customers."

As he reaches the end of his speech "ladies and gentlemen please welcome the CEO of G&C Corporation Mr. Gordon Bright." Bright walked on the stage with an air of confidence, he shook the hand of Michael; exchange a couple of words, then faced the mic.

"I don't have much to say, since our host of the night has covered it all" a little chuckle from the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is with immense pleasure that I have the honor to introduce the latest drone." Suddenly a curtain was open to reveal what looks like a plane but was indeed a drone. Sarah was not much into measurement so she had trouble telling the actual size but she made the difference by imagining the size of her kitchen TV which was around 40inch.

Bright continues talking all about the mechanism of the instrument and all Sarah could clearly understand was the fact that the drone had a miniature robotic figure of what looks like a pilot. The robotic pilot can pilot the drone when on automatic mode and can also talk. "It can receive command and execute them at wills. Certain human emotions had been integrated into his system to facilitate the conversation between robot and human" said Bright.

"What's next," said Anna "removing actual human pilot for robotic ones"

"Who Knows, but this here sort of reminds me of the movie 'I robot' played by Will Smith!"

"We should probably start thinking of a weapon that is called 'anti-robot chainsaws weapon of mass destruction"

Sarah had to contain her laughter; otherwise, she would have spilled her champagne. Her friend had a wild and weird imagination "what in the world kind of name is that?"

Taking an air of confidence Anna answered "my new name invention, I think it will be sold for millions, it's unique and destructive"

"My goodness, please stop Anna, I won't be able to contain my laugh"

Since the lights were a bit deemed, both Sarah and Anna did not see the men that had approached them and was standing just mere feet away from them and had heard their whole conversation and was trying their best to contain their laughter.

Once the girl's laughter had died down "It's amazing how many things human can accomplish, drone dotted with a robotic pilot, like really" scoff Anna

"I know, it's crazy but then again technology will just keep evolving"

He and Guillermo stood mere feet away from the ladies; they could hear their comments about the drone, though the look on their faces looked intrigued, they also sounded a bit worried. He, on the other hand, could not yet clearly see the advantage of having a robot on the drone. Bright was of course not telling the whole truth about it, just mere facts that the public needed to know. He watched the one in red and black digging into her handheld bag, pulled out a pen and notebook; he had yet to hear her name. She was taking notes of what Bright was saying. Who are those women?

"Moving closer could jeopardize our cover" whispered Guillermo

"I agree let's stay where we are" just as he uttered the words, Bright ended his presentation. He couldn't believe how people can be so full of themselves; they wasted hours of their time for the presentation of a drone. As the lights were coming back on, he heard a familiar voice calling his name, turning around he was met with Carla Brown. Carla Brown was the co-founder of G&C Corporation. A fact she hid this fact pretty well from the public, by investing herself in other things like accessories and clothing line.

"My dear, here you are, I have been searching for you both all night, the inseparable knights"

Hearing the voice, Sarah turns to her right, to see a beautiful African American woman who looks to be in her late 40's or early 50's embracing a Caucasian man and then another one that stood next to the first one. She hadn't realized how close the men were to them but didn't linger on that. She couldn't help noticing the stance of the men's. Even though she could only see the back of their heads, she could feel the power radiating from them. They stood confident and acted as if the world only turned around them. She could discern people from the very first contact; at this very moment, curiosity spiked her. She all of sudden wanted to see the faces of those men, especially, the first one.

"You know, if you keep staring like, you will be caught drooling"

Snapping out of her thoughts, Sarah faced Anna, "I am sorry did you say something?"

"You have a bit of drool on your lips"

Horrified she quickly wipes her mouth, only to find nothing "Anna"

"What? You were lost out there"

"I was just..."

"I know I saw also, but those guys have all their attentions on this very charming woman talking to them"

Turning around once more, Sarah looked to the men's, suddenly imagining a scenario where the first man who stood at 6'4 would turn around and smile at her. She didn't try to go further into the thought; she knew her imagination could take a turn for the worse. Forcing herself to stop gawking, she turned toward Anna who seems to be as lost as her. "Well, should we leave?"

"I had my feel of cuties for one night," said Anna as she took a deep breath "Let's go home and quickly write the article and then Haikyu anime time"

"Haikyu? We've already watched it"

"We watched the first and second season"

A little perplexed, Sarah tried to think on why her friend would say that, then it hit her "the third season is out"

A goofy Anna only shook her head. Taking Sarah by the arms, they went through the crowd like a dove, completely oblivious to the stares that were sent their ways and whispered of many who were more than intrigued on finding out their identity. Unknowingly for Sarah, she had an extra pair of eyes that had followed her throughout the night. A man that was hidden in the shadow, who marked her as his prey, His thirst had increased tenfold the moment he laid eyes on her and already to him, she was his.
