"what?... How can I___"

Florina whisper yelled at cherry but he interrupted her.

"This is our best chance... Boss has ordered me to find him an escort for the business party and you are going my darling..."

Cherry said pointing his finger towards her.

Florina shook her head.

"But___"

"Just imagine babe... What kind of news you can get there, reporters are not allowed inside and you are going with boss. All you have to do is get a spicy news... End of the discussion..."

Florina narrowed her eyes at him.

"You said our media house is small then how can we___"

Before she could complete cherry rolled his eyes.

"I said it's new... I didn't said that our boss is someone to be taken granted for... He has connections..."

"Ohh..."

That's all she said.

"You look beautiful Florina..."

Her boss complemented her as they drove towards the venue.

He was a average looking man in his late thirties. But the beard and his body made him look much older than his real age.

Florina gave him a grateful smile.

"Thank you so much sir..."

He was treating her with respect and was a quiet gentleman throughout the ride starting a casual conversation with her.

They arrived at the venue and he quickly helped her to get out of the car. Florina was wearing a black satin gown which cherry arranged for her.

He also helped her with makeup and she was impressed by his skills, with red lipstick and smokey eye she felt badass, for a second she couldn't recognize herself when she saw the mirror.

Her boss lead her inside and for the first time she realized how it feels when people click your pictures on the red carpet as it was always the other way around for her. She felt awkward and all jittery after the attention she got for those few minutes.

As they entered the hall her eyes widened in shock and amusement. All the women were looking like queens in different types of beautiful gowns, the massive hall was decorated with flowers and the chandeliers were adding stars to its beauty.

"Is it really a business party... It looks like someone is getting married?..."

She said in awe.

She heard her boss chuckle beside her.

"Well, you are not wrong Florina... Actually the host is going to announce about his wedding too, that's why the arrangements are special..."

She gave him an awkward smile knowing she said that out loud and was tempted to ask him how he knows about it but decided otherwise.

Suddenly she heard people's voices or more precisely reporters voices from the entrance latching on to someone for answers, she knows how it sounds. Everyone's head snapped towards the entrance and Florina looked in the direction too.

'Who is making people go this crazy'

When she saw the source of attraction her world literally spun for a second.

'Vincenzo Romano... Fuck'

Florina panicked a bit reminding their last visit but quickly composed herself.

She decided to stay strong this time.

'If he doesn't care then I don't either...'

She saw a beautiful brunette accompanying him and they had matching clothes. The girl was holding his arm with a bright smile on her face, they looked like a perfect elegant couple which made Florina's decision stronger.

'I don't know this man!...'

"Are you okay?..."

Her boss asked as he saw her zone out.

"Yes perfectly fine... I think we should get drinks..."

She suggested with a confident look on her face.

"Perfect..."

He agreed.

Florina was focusing on her drink and completely ignored the man who was playing with her mind.

Suddenly everything went silent and she diverted her attention towards the new problem. Her eyes almost popped out from their sockets as she saw him entering the hall.

'Fuck me...'

She cursed as she saw Sebastian king, he had Scarlett accompanying him and she was wearing a red gown looking flawless as always.

Florina's grip on the glass tightened as she remembered how they both treated her after they got done with her. She decided to ignore both of them and focused on herself.

Everyone in the hall tensed as they saw Sebastian and Vincenzo at the same place.

Vincenzo saw Sebastian and scowled like he is looking at some filth. Sebastian had the same kind of expressions on his face but more disgusting than Vincenzo. Their jaw clenched as their eyes met for a second.

The host of the party rushed to greet Sebastian as he has already greeted Vincenzo. People resumed their doings as they saw that they are not in any danger yet.

They both ignored each other and continued with the party completely ignoring each other's presence.

Vincenzo was completely ignoring the girl he had beside him, she was just an escort which Matteo hired for a night. He knew that Sebastian was attending the party too and was prepared for it. He won't do anything if Sebastian stays in his limits and Sebastian had the same plan.

Someone grabbed his attention by greeting him and he looked at the source. Vincenzo frowned when he saw the girl who was in his mind for every second. He slowly dragged his eyes towards the man who was greeting him and his fists automatically clenched.

'Who the fuck is he?... Why is she with him?... Boyfriend?... Husband?...'

All kind of disturbing thoughts stormed his mind.

He somehow relaxed when Florina's boss introduced her as an employee. Vincenzo's eyes lingered on her body. Her red hair was resting on her shoulders, her black gown was complementing her slender figure and the bold makeup was giving her a very sexy look.
