Chapter 5 - He’s handsome, see?

The five-star hotel is super luxury with the red carpet straight from the entrance, now it's already seven p.m. but the president didn't arrive yet.

We are the first one to arrive at the hall so we have to wait a long time before employees start to emerge from the entrance gate.

"I can't wait to dance with the president!"

Karen said in a teasing tone.

"Me either! Really, really can't wait to know who boss's going to dance with!"

Mona said as she rolled her eyes to the food carriage that hasn't open yet.

Penny followed her gaze then a thin smile form on her lip.

"Can't wait to test the food! Thought I only care about food heh!"

"Priestess Penny, you can't just ignore the president and enjoy the food!"

Our laughter was end by the announcement of the guard to inform that the president has finally arrive.

"Here comes sir Ace Winston Wales, the president of the Wales company!"

And the crowd applauded cheerfully as the girls are screaming and trying to catch the president's attention.

He had changed his working suit to a formal party-attending casual suit.

His hair is messy yet elegance, every single steps as he strode pass the stunning crowd to the stage in front of the hall gave a chill down my spine.

"He's handsome, see?"

I smiled weakly as Karen whispered in my ear, I have to accept the fact that tonight, he's the most handsome man in the capital.

"Yes, I see… but that's out of our reach!"

I hissed back and Karen chuckled slightly.

"Maybe you'll be the one who's gonna have a dance with him tonight!"

"That's impossible, I'll never catch his attention!"

Karen seem to know what I'm thinking so she hurriedly exclaims.

"But he knows your name!"

"…I guess my name is easy enough for him to remember?"

I made a guess that made Mona smile and she said in disappointment.

"I worked for him a couple of years since I finished my college, and he never use my name to call me"

"…"

Then why is he calls my name the first time we met?! Does that means he can remember my name but not the employee who's working for him for years?!

"Shh! The speech starts!"

Penny hissed when the president stepped on the stage and bowed to the guest and he seem to be giving a speech then that means the party would soonly begin.

"Hello everyone who's been honored to be invited to this anniversary party held by the Wales company. I'm Ace Winston Wales, as the CEO and the head president of the company, I assume we should begin with our party!"

And the crowd cheer fondly then the president, or should I call him CEO, stepped elegantly down the stage and looking for his dance-mate with tired eyes.

The food carriage now has been open and the employees are able to taste all the types of five-stars luxurious food.

Penny sped to the nearest carriage and start tasting all the food.

"That seems delicious! Wanna try? I'll get it for you!"

Karen then followed Penny to the carriage and start to dig all dishes.

"Then… would you like to have some drink?"

Mona asked me as I just nodded and followed her to the drinks zone.

I gasped at the colorful drinks and all wine from all over the world.

"What should we try first?"

Mona said impatiently as her hand grabbed the vine glass and began to have a try in all types of wine.

"Ahhh this is heavenly!! Have some, Luna?"

"Yep! I'll start with this…"

Hot liquid flow down my throat as the sweet scent of five-stars wine touched my tongue.

How many years I didn't enjoy this taste?

Since my father die, I didn't have any alcoholic drinks for a very ling times, but this is awesome!

"Ah Luna, my boss called me, I gotta go! Guess he already know who to dance with!"

Mona sped to the VIP table and left me to help myself for the drinks.

"Sir, you know who's going to be your dance-mate for tonight already?"

"Not yet, any idea?"

"…how about… Karen, sir? She's from the marketing team, or maybe Penny, sir? She's your secretary or… Luna, sir? She's newbie of the account management team, sir! She's nice and pretty also!"

"Ms. Luna? The girl at lunch?"

"…yes sir"

Mona said hesitantly as she seem to notice a thin smile on her boss's elegant lip.

'Could he have a feeling for her? Heheh…'

My head throbs menacingly as I tried my best to stay balanced on my feet.

'Ahh- I have so much wine already!'

My knees starts to feel weak supporting my body.

'Ughh I think I'm drunk'
