party

From a thousand miles, everyone could see the light booming out of Phantom hall. It was more than it usually was. The lightening crew must have done it to let people know that if you weren't at the venue then you were truly not important.

At the front of the hall, it was even more brighter than the light shining into the night skies. Cameras flashing and expensive cars coming to a stop in front of the red carpet laid all the way from the driveway to the front of the hall. One after the other celebrities and top notch socialist walked on the carpet in their order of arrival.

This was surely not a party for peasants. Every name on the list was a name that would send the hearts of men shaking in excitement. The host could not stop announcing the arrival of these prominent people. Compliments flew in the air like the night breeze and so did arrogance. If feelings were visible, everyone would see the Phoenix soaring on the head of the invited guest as they walked in. Being invited to the Vice President's wife birthday was not a simple feat. Surely it was one to brag about for a whole generation.

Fans and onlookers stood afar off, gazing at the numbers of guest walking in. Those was not an entertainment show so they knew better to compose themselves or else they could offend a really big shot. Even still they would let out shrill a and scream when their favour celebrity or socialiste walked on the read carpet, or perhaps when they were awed by the extravagance of someone outfits. A couple of lady took no constraint in heaping tons of precious stones on their body. It was the Vice President's wife birthday party after all, one need not go there looking shabby and truth be told it would be a silent battlefield of war for looks and beauty.

Besides wasn't there a rumor that the Vice president son was past the age of getting married and his mother was coincidentally trying to hook him up at the party. Even A-list actresses and all genre of Celebrities would line up to the milky way to be amongst the list of prominent daughter-in-law. Who did not want to be married to the country's second most important family and a member of the government?.

Unlike the other ladies with a dubious mind, Gisele's own reasons for attending the party was just because Aunty Claudia asked and plus she could use the outdoor experience. Driven in the while flashy limousine, she had no choice than to attract attention as the car rolled by. Aunty Claudia had really outdone herself to doll her up like some Princess.

In the midst of the uproar from the crowding Fans and then the incessant shuttering sounds from cameras and indistinct murmurs going around, the white limousine came to a stop at the foot of the red carpet. Gisele was very much against walking the red carpet like everyother celebrity but that was one of Aunty Claudia's do-not-break orders. There was a young man already waiting to pick her up at the red carpet and walk with her. As the car came to a stop, he rushed forward and pulled the door open for her.

"Isn't that Robert Rodrigo?"

"The Military RodRob? It can't be so. How could he be opening someone else's door?"

"Perhaps it's a family member?"

"Doesn't he work for the Vice president wife's son? Could it be him?"

"Isn't he already in the party"

Contrary to the wild guesses in the crowd. A pair of fair legs adorned in a glass six inched heels stepped out, followed a fair hands and then what seemed to be an illusion. Yes she only could ever be an illusion as such level of beauty was unnatural.

The Young man asked to escort the girl into the premises was stupefied that he totally forgot to stretch out his hands and help her out of the car. Never in his widest dream would he had imagined that he would come in contact with such a beauty. Was she real?

He bet not.

He had stood with the elderly Ladies while they talked about the recent activities and then the girl was brought up, he surely didn't put to heart when the Montero Family's First lady spoke about her beauty and genuineness. Truth be told he was slightly offended when he was asked to be a valet. Who would have known she was indeed such a beauty?

Gisele helped herself out of the car and straight her diamond sequined gown with her fingers. Never had she ever worn a dress like this. Indeed Aunty Claudia must have known she would have rejected it if she wasn't ordered not to. Not only was it beautiful but also super expensive! This dress cost two times more than the loan her step father had collected from the Montero Family and that was a whole lot of money. She felt regretful having to put it on like this. The starlike stones dangling on it made her tensed as the fear of losing them brought horror to her minds. Each of the ordinary looking stones cost more then she had imagined.

Sigh rich people surely had no respect for money.

"Sorry for being an inconvenience" She apologized to the young man that was made to come pick her up. She did know who he was but surely he was also someone of status. It must have being offending having to pick a nobody like her up.

"Um it's okay. I'm Robert Rodrigo" He replied and straight forth his hand to shake her. This lady was definitely an angel, not only was she beautiful but she had also a good personality. Such diamonds are rare to find.

He had to tell his friend about his Discovery.

Gisele had no idea who he was. Unlike most ladies she was not interested in any of these rich Celebrities and socialites so she didn't even know their names. She shook his hand back and told him her own name, purposely omitting her surname "I'm Gisele, nice to meet you"

The boy didn't seem to mind. Her smile was enough to keep him focused on something else. "Yeah it's really nice to meet you. We should go inside. The ladies are waiting for you"

Gisele didn't need to be told. Through the help of her people's phone, Aunty Claudia stayed on the phone with her all through her dressing stage, the eagerness to see her was well displayed in her voice. She had even called again while they were on the way. Even she was happy to meet the lady again.

Led by Robert, Gisele walked the red carpet and tried by all means to shield her face from the camera. She didn't need to sign her name so she just directly walked in.

Inside the hall was even more luxuriously designed than the outside. People scattered here and there. A large buffet table at the side, which so many options Gisele couldn't count. It was like this party was meant to feed the nation. The appearance of the gorgeous lady struck a lot of attention, with attention came jealousy and sure inquisitive intentions.

"This way Miss" the young man led her away from the main floor to the private lounge upstairs for the celebrant and her close friends.

Bang!

The room door opened and Gisele was brought face to face to the bunch of ladies in the room. Her untimely arrival immediately silenced the room.

"Xiao G you're here!" Claudia was first to spot the girl that walked in. She immediately stood up and walked to her.

"Aunty Claudia hope I didn't make you wait long?" Gisele returned the greeting with a polite smile.

Gleefully Claudia shook her head. She loved what she was seeing. She had told her friends of the girl earlier but it seems none of them really believed her. Now they could finally eat their contemptuous looks as they look at her beautiful face.

"Come come, say hello to my friend" She affectionately held unto the girl's hand and led her into the midsts of the ladies. Gisele suddenly felt like she was a lamb in a wolf den. The way these ladies looked at her it was like they had seen a gold they couldn't wait to snatch away.

"This is Mrs Jordan Madison. A good friend of mine and also a family member. Quick say hello to her"

Jordan Madison?

Even Gisele wouldn't be that dense to not know this was the Vice President's wife and also the celebrant for today. She had seen a quite a few time in TV, plus posters of tonight party had popped up over the days on her phone. So she knew just who the lady was.

"Good day Ma and congratulations on your added year" Gisele congratulated her in a cautious voice. She had heard stories of the lady, she didn't seem to be an easy going person. It was surprising she was friends with such a free spirited person like Aunty Claudia.
