9 Ballroom party(1)

As soon as Quince and Queen entered the ballroom, they became the center of attention. It was to be expected, after all Quince's family was the owner of the cruise which they have all been invited to.

Well, that is if one doesn't consider his handsome looks and mysterious silver gray eyes. The ladies almost swooned at his feet. They stood in groups to gossip as soon as they saw him. However, today, the gossip topic changed from him to her.

While it was well known how rare Quince make his public appearance as he would usually send his assistant over on his behalf, it was even rarer for him to bring in a female companion. As a matter of fact, it's the first time ever.

Everyone couldn't help noticing who the gorgeous lady on his arm is. Her looks dazzled everyone that saw her. The women had looks of admiration and envy, while the men couldn't help but stare at the woman unblinkingly. She looked like an angel with her caramel hair and golden eyes. The soft smile on her face beguiled the men even more.

Quince took a secret glance at Queen. Her demure behavior and elegance confirmed his suspicions about her being from a noble family. She definitely knew how to behave in the society. Most women would be nervous and their smiles would be a little forced if they were stared at. But not her. She moved like she's done this countless of times before. As if it's only natural that people would look at her and be in awe of her presence.

Not long after they entered, a waiter walked up to them. The waiter offered them 2 glasses of champagne. Quince was about to accept the glass but Queen rejected it and asked for plain water instead. Quince looked at her, waiting for her explanation.

Queen chuckled and looked at him before saying, "It's not time for celebration yet." Quince accepted her explanation without much thought. He wasn't going to ponder what she's up to. He knew that if he did that he wouldn't have time to do anything else in the world. After all, a species like her had too many strange thoughts in their minds. So he was just going to observe her actions instead.

Soon enough, people came over to talk to Quince. They wanted to form connections and business contacts with him. Some of them merely went because they were curious about Queen's identity.

Quince did the introductions. They all now knew her name, but they still didn't know who she was. They asked one another in secret about her identity. Yet, none of them knew who the de la Meilleures were. However, since she was Quince's companion, nobody dared disrespect her.

"My, my, that is a lovely young lady on your arm." A middle aged man walked over to them and said. He had a kind smile on his face. When he came near enough, Queen could see how dignified his bearing was.

"Uncle Smith." Quince said. He shook his hands with the man.

"So? Do you mind introducing this young lady to me?" He asked. He smiled kindly at Queen, curiosity in his eyes. He had never seen this brat with a woman on his arm before. It was an understatement to say that he was curious about their relationship.

"This is Miss Queen de la Meilleure. Miss Meilleure, this is Mr.Smith White. He is the owner of FDG talent group." Quince made the short introduction between them.

"A pleasure to meet you Mr.White." Queen said with a sweet smile.

"A pleasure Miss Meilleure. It's been a while since I last heard that surname being used." Mister Smith White said.

A surprised look flash within Quince's eyes. If his uncle knows her family, maybe he'll be able to acquire more information from him later.

"My, my, I certainly wasn't expecting Mister White to know my family. I'm honored that you have heard of my humble family. You are certainly a man with broad knowledge, as expected of the drive behind FDG group." Queen said with a twinkle in her eyes.

Quince was surprised with what he heard. He wasn't expecting her to be aware of this as it wasn't a well known fact. Quince felt even more curious about her background. After this party, he would definitely run a research on her.

Little did he know that, there would be no need to do so.
