You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 18

Arabella’s face turned instantly pale. Her heart was beating fast. She felt very cold inside the room, but she felt her forehead was sweating a bit. She was left in a daze for a while.

She looked the spotlight direction and she clearly saw Bill Sky with alluring handsomeness. His facial expression was still cold as usual bearing a powerful aura. The crowd became more lively now specially the women. They giggled exaggeratedly seeing the richest and the most handsome CEO in Capital Z in the room. It seemed that he was used to this kind of popularity that he has 6 bodyguards around him.

His bodyguards were wearing black suits and tie, they were like his shields from bullets and obviously women who can’t withstand their intense desire towards him.

For some reason that she can’t explain, Arabella was quite happy seeing him again.

Everybody in the crowd was obviously amazed and inspired by him. It was all shown on their faces.

On stage, Bill Sky gave a brief but inspiring speech. He was wearing a white tuxedo with a black bow tie that made him the most stunning prince charming as most gentlemen int the crowd was wearing black suits. If she was not with Enrique, she might be mistaken as Bill Sky’s partner as their clothes were coincidentally coordinated.

She was also wearing a white backless with deep V neck in mermaid cut dress. It revealed her perfect curves and bootylicious ass and breast. Her flawless snow-white porcelain skin was expose visibly. Her smooth, shiny long straight hair was slightly curled at the bottom by Farrah. She used light makeup that exposed her fresh look and innocence, which made her beauty the most attractive woman in the room. The only striking she wore aside from her dress, of course, was a red lipstick that made her look sophisticated. Arabella had the feeling that wearing a red lipstick for tonight will give her good luck.

Arabella and Bill Sky were like a bride and groom in their coincidental coordinates, but in a business style concept.

Roaring and applauses echoed through the crowd as he ended his speech by raising his wine glass in the air.

“Cheers!” The crowd raised their glasses in the air including Arabella.

“Bestie, Bill Sky is here.” Farrah couldn’t keep her astonished tone. Her partner, Mike pulled aside Enrique to talk.

“I saw him.” She smirked a bit. She doesn’t want other people to hear them and misinterpret her.

“Who’s his partner then? Is he with his fiancée Trishia Meyer?” Farrah curiously asked while drinking her wine.

“I don’t know. I haven’t seen her.” Actually, she didn’t think of that when she saw Bill because she was already hypnotized by his presence. Her eyes unconsciously wander in the crowd like she wants to see someone.

“Well, I think I’m asking silly questions. I’m sure his partner here is no other than his fiancée.” Farrah was annoyed to herself as she rolled her eyes.

There were too many people in the party, Arabella can’t see Bill and his partner in the crowd.

‘Maybe he went home after giving his speech. Well, it’s a good thing I can’t be distracted by his presence. I need to find investors in our project. I need my energy to focus on my goal.’ ’Well, even if he's still here, he will not recognize her as Arabella he met before. There are too many people here, it’s 0% probability that he will bump you.’ Her thought flowed uncontrollably.

With Enrique with her, it’s not difficult for her to talk and open her business proposal. She got 2 minor investors. She still needs more, but she was still thankful that she gained something from the party.

The night was still long. The most awaited dance by partners was officially opened. The spotlight was directed to the dance floor focusing the couples dancing in a sweet love song music.

Farrah and Mike were dancing sweetly.

Arabella just stayed at the cocktail round table as Enrique was seriously talking to someone about some sort of medical research.

“May I have this dance?” His voice was very familiar to Arabella. Her eyes traveled from his hand that was extended to her then slowly to his figure then finally to his face.

She was right. It was Jayson, her ex-boyfriend.

“Where’s Margaret?” Arabella looked at his eyes questioning.

“My driver drove her home.” Jayson’s voice was tired. It was very obvious that he was exhausted for a long time. He was not the Jayson she knew before. Jayson had been always handsomely energetic and approachable. It seemed that his aura was a bit mature now.

His hand was still in the air. All eyes were all on them as gentlemen wanted to approach her to dance, but they don’t have the guts and also afraid that this goddess will turn them down.

“Come on! For old time’s sake. Dance with me.” Jayson was hopeful. He was a little tipsy as he gulped some alcohol a while ago as he wanted to drown his sadness about Arabella having a new boyfriend.

Arabella looked at Enrique like asking for his permission and the latter nod his head as a sign for his approval.

Arabella didn’t really want to have a dance with him, but judging from his face, she felt a bit worried about him and of course, she doesn’t want to humiliate him in front of the crowd. She still considers Jayson as her old friend.

She received Jayson’s hand and they traveled together to the dance floor. They instantly captured the spotlight.

Jayson took the chance to hug her again. He hugged her tightly like no one was watching.

“Jayson, please behave yourself. Don’t forget that you’re already engaged. People here might misunderstand us.” She was sending Jayson a warning.

Jayson quickly got her message so he loosened her and just put his hands on her waist.

Arabella was quite happy. The good thing about Jayson, he was always considerate towards her. He doesn’t want her to put in an embarrassing situation.

“I’m sorry. I Just missed you.” Jayson uttered with full sincerity.
