CHAPTER TWO

The occasion was still on and Alyana was standing alone at a table, she never liked crowded places and she never wanted to come if not for Nanny Raquel's pleading. Camilla spotted her sister standing alone she never understood why Alyana always isolated herself, she felt bad for her sister. She sighed before walking towards her.

"Alyana, why are you here all alone? Come, let's sit with Violet and the others, remember what dad said? He said that you have to mingle with people to know how they think and what the features they like in a president and, most importantly, they can get to know the kind of person you are, so kind and caring," Camilla said, staring at Alyana who just listened at Camilla.

"Camilla, you of all people should know that I don't like crowded places so please don't worry about me and go enjoy the party and most especially don't stress yourself about what dad said. I just need to work hard and not mingle with people, if the position is meant to be mine I will get it okay, so hush and enjoy the party." Alyana replied, smiling at her sister. She didn't want to be the reason why Camilla doesn't enjoy the party.

"Are you sure you are going to be okay without me?" Camilla asked with a concerned tone.

"Of course, Camilla, just go," Alyana said, chuckling softly as she stared at Camilla. Camilla hugged her before walking away, she sauntered to the table where Violet was sitting with other guests.

On the other side, Nanny Raquel was watching Alyana whose eyes just wandered around glancing at everyone at the party, she felt bad for Alyana so she called some young men who worked in the company, she called them and pleaded with them to meet with Alyana and ask her to the dance.

"Don't you feel bad for Alyana? She's all alone at this party and has no one to talk to can one of you please ask her to dance with you?" Nanny Raquel begged the men she called.

"No ma'am, I can't I'm sorry but you see how hideous she looks, I can't dance with her, "Samuel mumbled, walking out on Nanny Raquel, she gazed at Alyana with pity, and then an idea popped into her head, she decided to pay them will make them agree so she offered to a huge amount to them.

Alyana was lost in her thoughts until she noticed a handsome-looking guy walking into the party adorned in a suit, they were something about the guy that is so intriguing, she felt solely drawn to him and she had no idea why.

His small stubble, his dimple on his left cheek that wasn't noticeable, his masculine features showed that he works out, and his boyish brown eyes ensnared her. She was still staring at him and when he twirled his head in her direction and their eyes met, she jerked immediately looking away.

She shook her head, committing her thoughts when one of the company's workers approached her and she smiled at him.

"Alyana, would you like to dance with me," Edward asked her, praying silently that she accepts. She said yes without any bother.

"Of course, Edward," she said. He brought his hand forward and she took it willingly.

Alyana's mind still wandered around the guy adorned in a suit, she had been mesmerized by his beauty, she was lost in thought when Edward cleared his throat to speak gaining her attention.

"You know, Alyana, whenever we are at the office I always want to talk to you but you always look serious, so I couldn't approach you, "Edward let out, making Alyana look up at him.

"Why Edward, are you having problems at work?"Alyana asked him out of concern.

"Not at all, Alyana, I just wanted to talk to you sometimes and ask you your opinion on candies and chocolates, you know. Sometimes I want to have dinner with you outside the office and talk about things that are not related to work," Edward replied, smiling cheekily at her.

"Well you know, I am allergic to chocolate, so I can not taste it, but making it makes me happy," Alyana answered back.

Camilla was with Violet when her Uncle Robert William, the Vice President of the Company, called her name and she whirled in the direction she heard it from.

"Uncle Robert," Camilla let out, grinning and she moved forward and hugged him.

"Camilla, how have you been? You are all grown up," Robert said, hugging her back with a genuine grin plastered on his face.

"Well, I've been doing Okay Uncle Robert," Camilla replied. She noticed a boy her age standing beside Robert. Robert noticed Camilla looking at his son and he smiled at her.

"Do you remember my son Lucas? He has been in the states with his mother but now he will be staying with me," Rober said to Camilla and her mouth formed an 'O'.

"Yes uncle I do remember him," Camilla replied, she turned and faced Lucas" Hey Lucas, great seeing you again. How have you been?" Camilla asked.

"Well, okay I guess, and also traveling from one country to another since my parents are separated, you won't know how that feels anyway," Lucas replied, with a scowl on his face. He didn't even bother glancing at her which made Camilla scoff.

"I will leave you both to do some catching up. Behave well, Son," Robert said before leaving them both to talk.

"What are you drinking there?" Camilla asked, staring at the content inside the cup.

"Just orange juice" Lucas replied, nonchalantly before continuing to sip from his cup.

"Yuck, watch me get some whisky from Violet, she's the best stepsister," Camilla said, grinning before walking to where Violet stood.

"Can I get a cup of whisky please, Violet?" Camilla whispered Into Violet's ear pouting.

"Yes, of course, baby sister, "Violet replied, chuckling softly. She poured some whiskey into a cup and passed it to Camilla, she muttered " Thank you," before leaving.

"See, I told you she was the best." Camilla said, sipping from her cup "You want some?" she inquired, passing Lucas the cup.

"No thank you. I would not want to get into trouble with my papa this evening," Lucas mumbled, walking away "She's so annoying'' He whispered under his breath.

"He's so boring," Camilla sneered, rolling her eyes at him.

Violet stood with a cup of whisky glancing around when Thomas and some other guys walked towards her and she couldn't help but listen to their conversation.

"I am scared of approaching her. What if she yells at me or hits me? You know how Alyana is but I still want the money offered by Nanny Raquel," Thomas murmured to the guys. Violet smiled at what she heard.

"This would be fun," Violet muttered to herself. She dropped her cup on the table and she walked up to Thomas.

.

"Hey Thomas, would you like to dance?" Violet asked, she was sure he would say yes to her.

"Sure Violet, the pleasure is mine," Thomas replied, grinning. He couldn't believe Violet asked him to dance with her, he had always had a crush on her.

"Then let's go," Violet said, dragging him by his tie.

Ayana was dancing with Edward when Violet noticed her and pulled him towards them. They started dancing together until they were side by side with Alyana and Edward.

"Alyana do you mind if we switched partners? You see Thomas here has been dying to have a dance with you", Violet said, making Thomas's eyes widen in surprise.

"Me?" Alyana asked, looking shocked.

"Yes, of course, Alyana, you darling, and as for you, Thomas, I have helped you to ask Alyana to the dance so now Nanny Raquel can pay you well," Violet revealed, giggling. She patted Alyana's shoulder lightly before leaving.

"What is Violet talking about?" Alyana questioned with a deadly stare "Did my Nanny pay you all to dance with me? You had better tell me the truth or I will make your department work for days nonstop." Alyana asked Thomas in a serious tone.

"Yes ma'am Alyana, she asked us to dance with you and make friends with you", Thomas replied, feeling bad.

"How many are you?" Alyana asked, she felt stupid as she glanced at them.

"Four of us, ma'am," Thomas replied.

"Make sure to tell them that if any of them should ask me to the dance, I will fire them. I hope I made myself clear" Alyana said with tears welling up in her eyes. She walked away before any of them would notice her.

She rushed to the restroom to cry her eyes out.

"It's all your fault Alyana, you are so naive thinking those guys were asking you to the dance sincerely, then after the dance, they will ask you out on a date and you can get to know each other. So ignorant of you to think they will truly like you." she sobbed alone in the ladies' room.

After some minutes of sobbing and blaming her innocent self, she cleaned herself and left the ladies' room.

Alyana felt so disturbed by what happened earlier, so she stood at an angle close to the entrance just to avoid another unpleasant incident from happening.

After sitting alone for a while, Alyana felt tired of the party so called Nanny Raquel and told her to tell the driver to get the car ready and also to tell Camilla to get ready to leave, she nodded and left.

While Nanny Raquel was gone, Alyana was going through her phone when the guy from earlier walked up to her. He cleared his throat making her raise her head to see who it was. She was surprised to see that it was the guy from earlier.

"Hey, would you like to dance with me? As you can see, I am also alone at the party without a date and I can also see you are lonely," The guy said, with a tugged smile on his lips.

Alyana smiled at him ready to accept until she remember what just happened between her and Thomas, she scoffed at how she almost fell for his charm and glared at him looking annoyed.

"Hey mister, I thought I made myself clear when I told Thomas to inform you all to back off, I know you are part of the guys my Nanny paid to dance with me but the deal is off. I am not interested, so move on to the next person," Alyana said, rudely without glancing at him.

"I don't have any idea about what you are talking about, I am just asking you for a dance and nothing more, so you're in?" He asked, bringing his hand forward.

"Those this guy having issues understanding what I just said?" Alyana mumbled to herself.

"You said what?" He asked her not getting what she said.

"I am very sure you know who I am because of the speech my papa gave, but whatever you and my Nanny plotted please don't involve me, and could you please stop disturbing me, my evening is already ruined, so don't make it worse for me." Alyana let out, looking away.

"My bad, I'm sorry if I ruined your evening more without realizing it," The guy said before leaving.

Alyana felt bad for pouring her frustration on the poor guy but she was more frustrated. All she wished for was to get home and lay on her bed. This party did not make her night.

After some minutes, Nanny Raquel walked up to her. " The car is ready, Alyana, Camilla is already waiting for you in the car." She informed her.

"Nanny, I strictly told you not to tell any guy to ask me to the dance but you declined and made that persistent guy one of the guys who asked me. I feel more frustrated now, Nanny." Alyana scolded Nanny Raquel.

"No, Alyana, I didn't ask him to meet you, I don't even know that guy. I am just seeing him now. The guys I asked all work for the company, Alyana dear, and to break the record, this one is handsome", Nanny replied, blushing.

"Just don't do that again, Nanny, and let's go I'm so exhausted," Alyana said.

"So he was saying the truth," Alyana mumbled before turning to look at him, and at that moment their eyes met and he winked at her, she couldn't help but blush but she still felt bad for all the hurtful things she said to him and wanted to apologize but couldn't, so she left with Nanny Raquel and called it a night.
