21 The Masquerade Ball
Mr. Bush signed the contract with Andrea. He agreed to sell his property. He was sorry for what he had done. He done that because he needed money.
"A? Is the party still on? For tomorrow ?" Leah asked Andrea. Andrea just nodded and Leah know what she would do. She leaves Andrea's office and announce the party to be held tomorrow.
Everyone is invited, the staff and all board members are going.
Someone knocked at Andrea's door and he enters. It was Tristan and his face looked like he was sorry.
"What's up?"
"I just wanted to say sorry of what Jenna did. I know she blocked your plan about buying the lot of Mr. Bush. I'm sorry C. A"
"It's okay, I fixed it already and Mr. Bush signed the contract"
"that's great"
A smiled put on Andrea's lips and Tristan too. "Your more beautiful when you smile" Andrea back to herself and back to make a sad face.
"Go back to work Mr. Mendoza. And prepare for the party tomorrow"
"okay C. A. I'll get going then"
Tristan leaves as Andrea glanced at him when he leaves. Andrea went to her employee and announce the party and she even tell them to go home early. The staff and employees are happy to hear it and get home safely and early.
Andrea back to her office. She is the only one person left inside the company. She even said to Leah to go home safely. The guards are outside. Andrea didn't knew Tristan is still in the company. Andrea was on her laptop and she was looking at the picture she had with Dreb.
She almost jumped out of her swivel chair as someone knocked the door. She's confused of whom with this be.
"Who's that?" she lowered her voice and slowly walked towards the door. She slowly open it but suddenly Tristan loose his balance and lean on Andrea. Tristan was landed to Andrea as they on the floor.
"What's going on?"
"I'm sorry C. A" Tristan hurriedly stand and give hand to Andrea. Andrea didn't grabbed his hands and she stand all alone by herself.
"I have something to say"
"please take a seat first"
Tristan sat on the chair and Andrea stared at him. "what is it? Tell me"
"I have no idea what's going on with me. But I feel something when I saw you. And I can't even get my eyes over you when I see you. I'm sorry to say this but do I know you in the past 2 years?. I maybe had a bad memory and forgot somethings"
Andrea was stunned and speechless. She stared at Tristan and thinking about what she heard. "we didn't know each other in the past. We just meet here"
A sad face made by Andrea while talking to Tristan. Tristan just made a smile and nooded his hair. He left and go home. Andrea left speechless and she really regret what she said. She have said it. She have helped Dreb to recover from the memory loss.
Andrea went home and stayed in her terrace for a while. She was getting some fresh air. Andrea feel the breeze and started to sing.
"Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody
When the night's so long
'Cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy
Yeah, when my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I, I
I look at you
When the waves
Are flooding the shore and I can't
Find my way home anymore
That's when I, I
I look at you
When I look at you, I see forgiveness
I see the truth
You love me for who I am
Like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I'm not alone
Yeah, when my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I, I
I look at you
When the waves
Are flooding the shore and I can't
Find my way home anymore
That's when I, I
I look at you
You appear just like a dream to me
Just like Kaleidoscope colors that
Cover me, all I need
Every breath that I breathe
Don't you know you're beautiful?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When the waves
Are flooding the shore and I can't
Find my way home anymore
That's when I, I
I look at you
I look at you
You appear just like a dream
To me" she sangs the song of Miley Cyrus, when I look at you. Andrea had some talent too in singing and dance.
She enters her room and lay on her bed. Slowly closing her eyes and take a deep breath and sleep.
Morning came, but a rainy weather woke up Andrea. It has a cold wind and it's really a heavy rain.
She was preparing for the party until Leah called. She took her phone and answer it.
"Leah? What's up?"
"Where are you A? I'm waiting and finding you. All of the staff is are in the mask and I can't identify of which one is you"
"I'm preparing just wait for me there. I will be wearing a black mask with feathers on the left side"
"okay"
The theme of the party is a Masquerade ball. Everyone is now at the venue except for Andrea. They really didn't recognize each other because they're on their mask.
Andrea went to her car and say goodbye to her family. The rain is slowly stopping and she started the engine. She went through the venue of the party. She went to the back and she enters.
Someone touch her shoulders and whispered to her.
"A. Is it you?" a smile put on her lips.
"yes Leah it's me. Shhh"
"okay, let's eat."
"Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I hope you are doing well and enjoying the party. The chairwoman of the company is very kind to us right?"
"Yes" shouted by the crowd.
"so today let's celebrate and enjoy this day"
The music started as all people really enjoying. They eat, dance and even chit-chat.
Andrea and Leah is sitting now on a table but suddenly the music change into a love song. Leah got invited by unknown person and go to the dance floor. I laughed at her because she even can't dance.
"where is she?" Tristan is looking for someone. Someone named Andrea. She wanted to dance with her with this music. He didn't really know what happened to her but he just wanted to dance with Andrea.
He looked around but one got his attention. The woman who's just sitting and eating on a table. Someone invited her to dance but he rejected it.
"I hope it's you" Tristan slowly walked towards the woman. She's wearing a black mask and had feathers on the left side. He reached his hands to hers.
"may I? MA lady?" the woman smiled at him and take his hands. It's puts a smile on Tristan's face as the woman agreed to dance with him.
"Hi" a lowered voice came out on Tristan mouth.
"hi" a good voice of a woman that had replied.
"so? What do you do in life?" Tristan asked the woman while they're dancing on the dance floor.
Leah saw them and happy to see Andrea dancing with that man. Leah knew that man is Tristan. Leah is the one checking their attendance and she knew it was Tristan.
" I'm a busy person you know"
"same as me. "
They just dance together with the melody. They even can see the clouds were on their feet. They were in heaven while dancing. Someone broke the party and make some scene.
"hi everyone, listen. Here" everyone gather around and the music stopped.
"someone is taking my boyfriend away from me"
"ahh" the crowd was shouting.
"get out here"
"your chairwoman? Is making out with my boyfriend" Andrea was shocked as what she had heard.
All employees are whispering with each other.
"yes you heard all right. The chairwoman of the sweet night company is making out with my boyfriend" someone taking some videos.
"Listen, stop taking videos. And you Ms. Jenna, can you please stop doing it. Your ruining our party" Leah get up stage and try to get rid of Jenna.
"You can't stop me you b**ch little and cheap secretary."
The crowd was focused to Jenna and Leah and I got the opportunity to walked away. I go to some bathroom and get change. I'm wearing a red long dress and a pair of glitter red shoes. Im not wearing my mask and enter the venue.
Jenna was stunned and shocked when saw me enter the venue. She got off on the stage and walked towards me.
"Good morning Chairwoman" all staff and board members greeted me.
"Why are you ruining this party Ms. Jenna?"
"your just pretending you don't know but you do" all attention are on us.
"Jenna? What is this all about?" all the people got off there mask and the one who dance with Andrea was Tristan.
"Tristan, back off"
"no. Jenna, your ruining out party"
"and I'm not really invited here?"
"I invited you to come with me but you didn't want to right?"
"That absurd"
"Jenna why are you doing this?"
Jenna walked towards the chairwoman and slapped her. All staff were shocked.
"what did she just do?" one employee said and Jenna stared at her.
"this, your chairwoman is flirting with my boyfriend and soon to be my fiancé."
"You think so Jenna? We work together because Tristan here is the director of our advertisement. And please put your jealously in place. And don't bring it here. In my party. Guards, please get rid of this woman. And please don't let her get inside my company and get close to me"the guards let Jenna out.
"I'm sorry C. A" Tristan said an apology but Andrea walked away. "enjoy the party everyone. Excuse me" She lost her appetite in her party and went home.
