Chris reciprocated the gesture and also took notice of his assistant, who was slipping silently from the corner of his eyes.
Kevin slipped away from the duo discreetly. As if he could.
But that’s what he thought, that they didn’t notice his movements. But to his bad luck, Chris took notice of his actions.
For Gods sake, he is the big boss of the chains of many companies. Nothing escapes his eyes.
He developed a keen sense to observe his surroundings from a very young age. That’s one of the reasons, he became successful today.
He had the eye sight of an eagle. Even though he did other works, he always had the habit of knowing what was happening around him.
Thus his assistant’s movements caught his eyes immediately.
Kevin made himself less from conversing, then started acting as if he was invisible.
When he thought the coast was clear and the two persons before him were involved in deep conversation, he began to make a move.
He don’t want to be in the same place as Mr.Perkins.. he would rather be with a lion within its cage than be at the same place as him..
He was feeling as if he was committing a grave crime by leaving his big boss, but all he was going to do was to move away as far as possible from them.
He saw the glass of wine in his hand and thought deeply. Then he thought of an idea and began to execute it.
He quickly finished his glass of drink and held an empty glass. As if he was going to take another glass of drink for himself, he moved from the rich men.
All these movements were noted by Chris. He was confused by his assistant’s weird behavior from the moment he approached them.
Now looking at his assistant who was running as if his life was on line, to the opposite direction away from them, he was even more confused.
‘did I miss something??…should I have known something before approaching the duo??’ thought Chris.
Seeing his assistant running away in the name of refilling his glass, Chris had some doubts.
He changed his line of sight and fixed it on the man opposite to him. He gave a look of once over of the older man infront of him.
‘ he didn’t seem dangerous enough to be afraid of him and making people running away from him.
Then why did his assistant ran away as if his tail was on fire from the older man' thought Chris questioningly.
Truth to be told, Chris had not yet realised what he had gotten himself into.
If he had known before, he would have changed his course of direction and would have went in the opposite direction, away from Mr.Perkins.
He eyed the old man opposite of him. He was in his late fifties. He was a little fat with an average height of 5.5 feet.
He wore a navy blue suit and white crisp dress shirt inside and had a dark blue tie to compliment his looks.
He had a branded silver watch on his right wrist and a black pointed leather shoes.
Most of all, he was a normal looking rich man who was in his late fifties.
But one should take notice of his facial features.
Even though he was not the most beautiful man, he did have a good looking features.
He must had been a good looking young man back then.
The following years had made a good number on his looks. He had frown lines on the forehead and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
Soon Mr.Perkins started his sweet interrogating session with the most honey dripping smile one can muster.
“Well, Mr. Walker. How are you. How is your family?” started Mr.Perkins.
Kevin who was watching the duo from a safe distance, felt sorry for his big boss.
Even though he felt sorry, he didn’t have the courage to approach them again.
So he remained rooted in his spot, away from the prying eyes and happily continued to enjoy his feast. He was hungry. Very very hungry.
Chatting with….oops….Sorry …interrogation of Mr.Perkins drained his energy.
‘you can’t blame me. That man drained me of my energy. I need to replenish my body, to survive this tiresome party. Also who would say no to tasty free food!!’ thought Kevin.
Oliver, Bella’s brother, on the other hand was working hard as a waiter in the same party and he glided along with the serving plate between the guests asking them if they needed more drinks to enjoy themselves.
Oliver after working hard on the construction site, had plenty of time during the evenings.
So he along with one of this co-workers heard about the hiring for waiters for a party that night.
Soon they both freshened up and went to the party venue directly from the construction site.
This job paid a high salary, since the party was organized by a rich man.
So Oliver and his co-worker prayed that they would get this job. At last they did managed to get themselves selected.
They were then guided to the kitchen through the back door and everything was explained to them clearly.
