You… nevermind.

"How can I find him?" Zoey muttered in distress as she tried calling Matthew. 

However, she couldn't reach him as he was on another call. She tried and tried until she gave up. It was probably important; she thought to herself.

While she was walking back to the event hall, Zoey heard a very familiar voice coming from behind her. 

"Looking for someone?"

Zoey almost stood frozen to the floor as she was momentarily stunned. After a loud beat of her heart, Zoey slowly turned her head to see the man standing behind her.

She gazed at him from his pair of shiny black shoes, slowly going up to his clothes that were similar to those waiters inside the event hall. It continued on to his playful smirk to his pair of hazel eyes.

"Niko?" Zoey called out under her breath. "You're here?" 

Zoey blinked her eyes many times, trying to confirm she wasn't seeing wrong. However, it was, indeed, the one and only Nikolai Silvestri.
