Remind me of something

SHE can't find her sister. Curiosity made her eyes laid with Paulite whom she knew the person who can fill an answer to her question. He is intimidating on his black tuxedo, but she needed to be tougher to talk with him through mental telepathy. Kasama mo ang kapatid ko hindi ba? Where is she? She held her breath as she tried to read what his answer is.

"Here you are!" Von blocked her line of vision.

Huminto si Lawrence sa paghila sa kanya nang masino ang nasa harapan. Maging siya ay napahinto, napalingon sa grupo nila Kelly at Ken na napatayo habang nakatingin sa kanila.

"Hi! How are you?" Von politely smiled with Lawrence before he glanced at her. "My sister's waiting for you on that spot."

Nilingon niya ang tinuro nito. Chloe is with her co-Haute Model and big names in the Fashion industry in one VIP long table. Priscilla gave her a big wave. She waved back, excitedly, willing to join them but guilty because of Blaire's absence. Muli siyang humarap sa lalaki. She can't ignore, Von. It's unethical, especially, he is not ordinary. She hugged Lawrence from the shoulder. "Von, meet my friend, Lawrence Buenasher. Lawrence, meet, Mr. Von Trevor."

Von genuinely smiled and extended his hands towards Lawrence. "Nice meeting you, gorgeous."

"You are so sweet, Mr. Von. Thank you."

"Cut the formalities. Call me, Von, gorgeous." He shrugged his shoulder and chuckled smartly. "Anyway, ladies, would you like to join us on our table? I will introduce you to my friends."

"Sure," si Lawrence ang sumagot. Hinila na siya para sumunod kay Von.

Saglit niyang nilingon si Jyra na kinindatan siya. She wanted to sit with them. To ask something or hear their feedback about the show. But she needed to get along with Chloe. She's her extension of popularity now. If it wasn't her and Majesty, maybe she won't be recognized by Mr. Chari O'dil.

Ipinakilala sila ni Von kila Daniel at January. Kapwa mga sikat na actor at singer. Daniel is a French, while January is pure, American. Both huge name in the Hollywood Industry. Napangiti siya nang nakikipagsabayan si Lawrence sa tatlo. Siya naman ay kausap si Chloe, Priscilla at iba pang Haute Models.

"Is that the owner of the Elegance Paris? Frank and Keith Aldrich?" one of the models asked.

"Yes," she answered.

"Oh my god! The person beside, Frank are Oswold, Paulite, and Sander. Holy shit! They are the filthy rich heiress of Cristobal Airline and Oswold Oil Company in Saudi, right?" Priscilla alarmed.

Nilingon niya iyon at napansing bukod sa ibang mga prominenteng tao sa bawat grupo ng mesa ay sila nga ang mas kapansin-pansin. Their presence are sleek, darker, and powerful. At nakakahiyang siya lang yata ang hindi nakakakilala sa dalawa, gayong sikat pala ito sa mga kababaihan mapalabas ng bansa o hindi.

May sinasabi si Oswold kaya nagtawanan ang grupo, bukod kay Malik at Paulite. Seryoso si Malik habang nakikinig sa usapan. Kilala niya itong bihira ngumiti, pero si Paulite ay naiiba. He is bored or something, despite that he was surrounded by beautiful woman. He is looking on his phone, then he will sipped the glass on his hand lazily.

Ka-text ba niya si Blaire? Where is my sister? She can't face her phone right now. She needed to socialize first. The topic went through until she'd notice Jyra glanced on her. May sinabi ito dahilan para maglingunan ang ilan patungo sa kanya.

Paglingon niya pabalik kay Lawrence ay punpon ng pulang bulaklak ang sumambulat sa kanya. Napatayo siya sa pag-aakalang papadaanin, ngunit muli siyang nagulat ng si Von pala ang may hawak noon.

"This is for you, Jessica," he said, his eyes were soulful and puppy.

Ang lakas ng kalabog ng kanyang dibdib. Kinuha niya iyon, kahit pa sa kabila ng kanyang isip ay dapat huwag. "Thank you." Hindi niya na nasundan kung sino ang uunawain ng sabay-sabay na nagsalita ang mga kasama at binubuyo silang dalawa na magtabi. Pero sa huli ay nagkatabi sila nito.

"They had chemistry," one of the models complimented.

"I rarely saw him like this," January said. Dodging Von's shoulder and say something vulgar words.

Chloe and the rest laughed at that while she remained blush and shy. Kahit ang tumingin sa sariling kaibigan na si Lawrence ay hindi niya magawa. There is a rumor, and just by receiving the flowers the questions are answered. It frustrated her but she, Von, and Chloe knew that there is nothing about this.

How about the innocent people; like Jyra, Lawrence, and Kelly?

Pag-angat niya nang tingin ay si Ken at Kelly ang nakita niya. "Kelly. Ken." Tumayo siya at niyakap ang dalawa. All of a sudden she felt thankful for their presence.

"Idol niya kasi si Von," bulong ni Kelly sa kanya.

"No problem. Ipapakilala ko kayo." Tiningnan niya isa-isa ang mga kasama bago salita, "Guys I'd like you to meet my friends, Ken Delos Santos and Kelly Amistad. Our powerhouse actor and actress."

Von, January, and Daniel stood up to approach the two. Thank goodness, everyone turned their attention with them. Lawrence took that opportunity to whisper something, "Paulite is upstairs."

Tumingala siya. Naroon si Paulite na madilim ang mga titig sa kanya. A domineering wolf who's waiting patiently for his prey to be alone then he will attack. Suddenly, matured gorgeous women approached him. He ignored them and looked away with her. Pababa ito nang hagdan at muling hinarang ng nakilala niyang modelo. Halatang lasing na ang babae dahil hinawakan nito ang balikat ni Paulite paibaba sa dibdib.

He is watching the woman's hand until she remembered their very first meeting. How she initiated their first night. How she gave in her virginity with him without knowing who could he be?

Is he always like that? Letting woman come for him, seduce him, checking out if the woman is willing for a one night stand with him?
