She look extremely beautiful with those makeup attached to her face, she never thought that makeup done by oneself and the one done my an expert will turned out differently. With her hair now loosely tied up and strand falling on her sides, she is good to go.
Gordon is getting really tired waiting outside, for Barbara to come out, he walked into the suite.
Barbara admiration of herself is something else, she is still lost in her daydreaming, when she hear a manly voice behind her.

Let's join the party!
Sure, I must have lost a lot. He manage to say. By the way, the gown look good on you.
Thanks for having my back.
Let's say it's my way of saying sorry for depriving you of your car for weeks. Leading Barbara out of the room, he offer his hand to her, Barbara hesitate at first but then she give in, it's just an harmless gesture.
We keep bumping into each other, maybe, is the universe telling us something.
You very funny!
Hm! I never really thought you are this friendly. Barbara look at him. No offense but maybe, we could have good time, I am less busy Wednesday evening and please don't keep me hanging.

Meanwhile, back at the party, Dante is getting worked up, he can't find Barbara anywhere around, as soon as he noticed that she is not on the spot he left her.
At first he thought, just maybe, she needs to used the restroom, it's not alarming but as more time passes by, he panicked. He checked his phone, to see if she call him and he was too busy to noticed but no sighed of that, then again he thought of calling her but her number didn't go through, he frown.
He turned to look for, he need to check the restroom, anywhere but not just standing there, like an idiot waiting for the worse to happen.
Hey handsome! Scarlett whisper and run her hand on his shoulder, making him startled. Hi CEO Dante! How have you been? Scarlett greet with a nice smile were on her face.
Scarlett is beautiful but Dante is not interested in her, just maybe, she is too desperate for his liken.
Miss Scarlett, nice to meet you but the truth is, I have something pressing to deal with. Dante want to dismissed her and Scarlett could feel he is trying to avoid her.
Are you talking about the girl, I saw you with earlier? I saw her going to the restroom, is like she is abit clumsy, she bump into a waitress, her dress is messed up, probably gone home, since this might not be the kind of party she is used to.
Scarlett said it nonchalantly but Dante could feel the hatred of Scarlett towards Barbara.
Dante didn't pay attention to her bullshit, he want to go to the restroom, Scarlett frown, first of all, Dante came with another woman to a party, now that wench will be libel the first women that appear with him in a party, secondly, he is running after her like an astray dog.
You don't want to go the lady restroom, do you? Dante pinned his lips together, it will be awkward for him to do that, still thinking if what to do, the light went dim and soft music start playing.
Come on, let's dance! Dante look at Scarlett blank. Don't worry about her, she must have gone home and I am sure, it's network, she will alert you as soon as she arrive home.
Scarlett comments then pulled him to the dance floor, the music is encouraging and inviting, so most of the guest are dancing
Dante curse inwardly, Scarlett guide his hand on her waist and round her hand on his neck, everything about this woman irritated him and he is getting suffocated with the act.
Is eyes are roving around the hall, to search for Barbara, that he didn't take notice that Scarlett is caressing his nape while dance.
His eyes move to the entrance of the hall, there that gorgeous Barbara looking more beautiful and a handsome man beside her are walking through at that point.
His body froze, Barbara is a beautiful woman, it's like she look extraordinarily beautiful now
From afar, he had imagine how sexy and beautiful she is, with the short gown exposing her beautiful legs and her cupping her curves.
His entire attention are fixed on her, that he forgot to breath, he is practically drooling for her but still want to composed himself.
Scarlett realized that the man body and mind is no longer with her, she trace his gaze to see what has stolen his attention from her. Scarlett clenched her fist and curse inwardly as her eyes fixed on Barbara.
What is that bitch doing here again? Getting that dress is fast? Does she have to look beautiful? I feel like pulling her hair and dragging her out and show the world that she is a worthless golddigger.
Dante eyes were busy accessing the beauty of Barbara that he forget that a man is standing beside her and his hand is on her wrist like they were lovers.

Dante free himself from her, he didn't say a word to her before walking towards Barbara and the man, Scarlett face darken.
What nonsense? He is not leaving me dry and hanging because of that bitch? Kang smiled, he could feel how embarrass Scarlett is, she should know that the stupid man is taken. He volunteered to dance with her to make her feel relieved
Hey Miss, let me have this dance. Scarlett fake smile, Kang is an handsome young man and an eligible bachelor too, he is also from one of the elite family and girls dream man. You shouldn't take that young man action to heart, is his first time falling in love.
Kang whose mouth couldn't keep quiet, thought those words will keep her calm, she too make a fake smile for him.
Deep down in Scarlett mind, she is going to look for another way to get Barbara to fall on her feet.
