The Party
They got to the party and exited the car. Leonardo walked hand in hand with Elena, they looked perfect together, people was jealous especially a particular eyes that kept shooting bullet at them.. actually on Elena who felt it and turned her head only to come face to face with maryjane who clenched her jaw. She came with someone older, they looked alike but before she could point out more...
"Mr Leonardo who is she? your new mistress or plaything?" Paparazzi threw questions. As the flashlight came blinding her. She hid her face on his arm.
Leonardo ignored them and went inside. Inside she saw different individuals, they looked wealthy and their dressing was an evident, she looked around. The hall was spacious with a low light, the decorations were rich.
They walked further until they stopped, she looked at him in confusion wondering if he'll leave and go greet or mingle with different groups.
Yet he stood their looking around she wondered what he was looking for. She looked around to in curiosity and that was when her eyes met a very familiar ones.
Maryjane looked at her as her eyes looked dark. Elena gasped and shrieked. Leonardo felt it and looked down at her. He saw her staring at a particular direction and followed her gaze. He frowned as we saw Maryjane with someone. He guess she didn't only fucked different guys, she could also fuck her way up.
Suddenly it became dim, there was a light at the stage and a man came up. "Hello lady's and gentlemen. Good evening. I must thank all of you for coming, it's really an honor, I want to also give special thanks to Leonardo Kian the CEO RP company." Gesture towards Leonardo as the light flash on him. "And also thank Mr Orlando the CEO of DMk for coming" he continued and the light flashed on Maryjane.
Elena was still looking at Maryjane when she saw the light on her but then the light shone on Maryjane.
Leonardo glanced at were the light flashed.
Maryjane tapped and whispered something in the ear of man she came with. The man gazed at Leonardo's direction. 'so you're the guy she's crazy about.' he thought to himself.
After the celebrant finished. He came down to greet the new arrivals.
"Mr Leonardo I had no idea you'll grace me with your presence. You took so long and came up the wait." The celebrant walked over.
"Victor it was a long story but trust me it wasn't cooked up." Leonardo continued. "anyways nice speech, I almost cried." Leonardo saw sarcastically.
Victor rolled his eyes, he knows the kind of person Leonardo is.
"I made sure of that." he grinned. He gazed at Elena "oh my. such beauty you've brought to my event." he took Elena's hand and lay a soft kiss on it and Elena blushed unknowingly.
"So what's the beauty name?" He inquired. "Elena." she said simply.
Leonardo rolled his eyes in boredom with the two conversations.
Victor looked to their right and called out "Mr Orlando." they all turned to look, they saw Maryjane walking beside the man.
"Mr victor." the man nodded in acknowledgement.
"Orlando please meet Leonardo of R.P.H company and his beautiful date Miss Elena." He said and turned to Leonardo "Leonardo meet Mr Orlando of DMk company with his lovely daughter, Miss Maryjane" he introduced.
Leonardo nodded with realization. Throughout his years of knowing Maryjane he had no idea she had a father or even know that their were rivals.
Looking closely now Elena could see the resemblance. Maryjane stared at her with obvious hate in her eyes. She had a feeling this event was the reason why she was holding back if not this woman could have rendered venomous words to her face.
"Mr Leonardo nice to finally meet you." Mr Orlando smirked devilishly.
"Same here." he frowned as his gazed meet the smiling Maryjane.
"So baby boy you chose to bring this so call maid of yours to the party instead of your many women." Maryjane speak looking down on Elena with disgust. Elena has just had it up to her neck and she throw Maryjane words back to her.
"Watch your mouth you ugly bitch. I won't let you insult me after all I am not the one running around begging for love and still got thrown out. after all the effort so I am more better than you because here I am standing beside the man you want so much, I'm accomplishing your dreams for you so you better shut the fuck up and listen to yourself before you speak, you annoying piss of trash." Elena said without caring about the people around not even the old man Maryjane was standing with.
Maryjane was now burning with anger and couldn't say a word.
"Hey Elena i think that's enough
Keep your temper together okay." Leonardo whispered to Elena's ear. "Mr Orlando I sincerely apologize for my dates behavior."
"Well it's not me you should be apologizing too and you shouldn't be the one doing that she should be apologizing to my dearest daughter MJ." He said and Maryjane smirked hearing this, Ohh she loves her Dad so much for this.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you sir but your daughter here should be doing that first since she started it or else I am not saying a word of apology to her." Elena left Leonardo's arm and went straight to the car were it was packed, in anger not minding anyone at all. 'i can't believe she ruined the party for me. with that annoying old man.'
Leonardo nodded his head and ran after Elena, everyone was now staring at them. Maryjane was still burning in anger.
"Elena... Elena... Wait.. wait Elena what was that? and where were you going to?" Loenardo asked.
"Am sorry sir.. am sorry I lost my temper and insulted your girlfriend I just couldn't stand her insults." But Leonardo wasn't bothered that she insulted Maryjane he was only bothered about why she left the party.
"Maryjane isn't my girlfriend and I am not asking, about why you insulted her. She actually deserved that. I was asking why you left the party"
"Am sorry sir I just want to go home, I'm tired, I want to rest, am sure you also need that instead of you stressing yourself in this boring place. I will get David so we can go home."
"Is that what you really want? To go home." He said rising a brow.
"Yes sir." was her short reply.
"What if I am not tired and don't want to go back home?"
"Then I will walk home." She said getting ready to go. Leonardo laughed at what she said. David who was coming out from inside, was shock to see his boss laughing he had to wipe his eyes with his handkerchief to be sure he wasn't seeing things but he still saw Leonardo laughing. He became speechless.
"Alright fine no need for that I will take you home, let me call David so we can go back home." Leonardo said but then David spoke from behind him.
"Boss I'm here. Do you want to go?"
He asked still looking at his boss in surprise on how Elena had managed to make him laugh.
"Yes let's go." they all entered the car and zoom off without saying Goodbye to his Mr victor, the celebrant.
