Part Of The Family

At last, she let them drag her out from her cave. A feeling of fulfillment is on the couples eyes but in Azaleas eyes, there's only worry and fear.

She was invited by her father to attend Camilla's birthday celebration but not Camilla herself.

Her father told her that she's a part of the family and they should support each other. She agreed to her fathers view but she don't think Camilla does.

If she were to ask, she will never even imagine herself to go anywhere near Camilla. She knows how much she hates her because she is his father's daughter from another woman.

"Hey!". A woman's voice pulled her out from her deep thoughts.

"Worried?".

"Not really".

"I know how much you hate social gatherings like this but you don't have to worry this time, I won't leave you". Lindy gave her a sincere smile. Assuring her that she will be safe no matter what.

Azalea just nod. It's to late to go back anyway and she knows they will not let her. She hopes the time will fly so fast like they've never been there.

Their car stops in the entrance of the grand Diamond Shin Hotel then a valet comes rushing to open the doors for them.

Azalea don't want to come down from the car. She never thought that her sister's party will be prestigious. The beaming and flashes of cameras in every corner of the entrance is making her feel dizzy.

'Oh yeah... I forgot I'm with a supermodel and my little brother is the successor of Son Corporation'. She told herself.

Then she saw Lindy paused for a while waiting for her to come down.

'Damn!'. The only word she can uttered to herself. She just braced herself and drag herself out of the car. Then she lowered her head and ignored everyone.

The reporters who were wondering who she was were still taking a shot. Thinking they can easily erase her pictures if they found out that she is just a nobody.

Azalea walks in a long stride. She wants to go inside the hotel as fast as she could and just hide somewhere.

'This is really a bad idea'. Her brain is drastically shouting. 'But I'm here already might as well enjoy the place, specially the food'. Her inner glutton self is giving her a reason to stay.

The trio went inside the gorgeous hall. Every decorations screams wealth and all the designs are crafted to perfection.

'Such a waste of money'. Azalea's first thought of the place. She was slowly shaking her head while scanning the place from where she stands. She was analyzing the hall and calculating the cost for this absurd celebration.

"How much?".

"About 12 million." She replied confidently.

A satisfying grin formed in Carltons face. 'Not bad, she really knows how to calculate just by looking at it'. He thought and he was amused. From the time they arrived he was already looking at his sister and he knows she's been calculating everything and she was right that is really the total price of this event.

"But they can reduce the spending up to 8 million. Most of the decorations are over priced and to think that this place is free." The sound of disappointment is in her voice. "I feel like they were scammed by the interior designer".

"Well, I told you to look on the finances for this event last month remember?". Carlton reminded her.

"I was busy". She never thought that Camilla's party will cost this much. If she had known she could have done something to lessen the expenses. 'Arrgghh...damn, this little witch. She only knows how to throw away money'. Now she is totally annoyed at her half sister again.

A 6 feet and 1 inch tall man was standing near the Son siblings and he can clearly hear what they were talking. He was amazed how the woman calculated the event and she was right it is really a 12 million event. But what surprised him the most is when she said that the cost of this event can still be decrease by four million. They've recalculate everything before with his cousin and the result was only 2 million saved. But her calculations are twice than them. 'Did they miss something?'. He thought.

'If she's a financial analyst then she must be good'. The man wants to turn around to see the woman's face and asked her personally. But before he could turn around a tall and very beautiful woman came and hug him. Looking at her, he forgot everything.

"Hi darling!". The woman flashed her sweetest smile at him.

"Hi to you too, my love". And he gave her his most handsome grin.

A lot of eyes were into them but they don't seem to notice or directly ignored them. But not Sue. She loves the attention.

Sue Antaler. A renowned socialite. She smiled with full of elegance and grace in front of a handsome man. Though she really is well known for being graceful. Because everyone knows grew up with this kind of teaching and ways. She is a well breed after all. Being born rich and a socialite with a highest caliber she must always uphold and restrain herself because a lot of eyes are into her. A slightest mistake can taint her status.

"Do you think your grandfather will announce our engagement today?".She is being playful with her words.

"I told him already that I want to settle down for good but he doesn't believe me". The man's voice is full of authority but sounds apologetic to her.

"Well, you can't blame the old man. Besides you're such a girl magnet, probably every woman in this world would like to throw theirselves at you". And she makes her face a little sad.

"Don't worry, I can throw them out as fast as lightning if they ever do that. Because there's no one in this world I would like to be, but you". And he bent down and gently kiss her on her red lips.

"Hhhmmmppp!".A pair of eyes are watching their sweet affection towards each other. Old man Shin slowly turned around and head to his seat. 'The long wait will be over soon'. He calmly told himself.
