All of a sudden Gabriel was holding her hand and walking towards the glamorous pair.
"Umm.. Gabriel, I would rather wait here, if atall you would need me"
"But I need you right now, I really need to talk to him, please accompany me, he might just swallow me up which of course may be remedied if were with me" blubbered Gabriel, what was the urgency Lina had no clue.
By the time they reached to the glam couple, they were swallowed in the crowd, who was he? Why would everyone want to have word with him.
All the rush and Lina's missfoot lead her stumbling over. She dropped to her knees hard, and the crowd oohed.
" Hey! Hey! You ok?"
"Oh ! I m so sorry ! Did I embarrass you?" Asked Lina, all red and humiliated . It Was meant only for Gabriel's ear but someone else heard it too. Someone had his full attention on Lina now.
" No! No no , why would you say that? Are you hurt? I should have had good hold on you. This people with motives would stumble anyone" Whispered Gabriel.
Reassuring that Lina was fine they turned to meet the man. Crowd dispersed leaving very few that included her dad.
" Lina! You okay there? Aahh! meet my Junior partner Gabriel, a very intelligent young man I say" introduced Mr. Crust clearly dismissing Lina.
"Mr. Wolf, I have been so looking foreward to meet you, it is such a pleasure" spoke Gabriel shaking Mr. Wolf's hand. While Lina stood by engulfed in dilemma on what was she supposed to do, she couldn't randomly shake hands with people she wasn't introduced to.
"And you must be Miss..? Asked Gabriel to the beauty, trying to include her in the conversation, how humble of Gabriel.
" Cara Atwood , from sincity mag" answered the beauty.
"And this is my eldest daughter Lina, Paolina of course" and now what? should they shake hands, indeed they should, but why would the most handsome businessman with the most beautiful model on his arms would shake hands with a little nobody.
"Hello, Paolina" came the baritone voice with a large strong hand that swamped her tiny fist in it.
"It is a pleasure to have you here Mr. Wolf" pleasure what for? You don't even know him.
"Pleasure is all mine, Paolina" the way he twisted his tongue to call out her name was fascinating, no one ever spoke it that way or was she being paranoid. The way he eyed her made her blush from within.
Oh boy! She needed an escape.
She extended her hand to the sincity mag model but Miss beauty overlooked it to instead check her Meni cured nail art she paid dollars for.
Uh oh! Don't be ashamed, it wasn't you, you were only being polite. Don't be embarrassed.
"Well, um... I... uh... I think I should go check on the matter over... the kitchen. Yes, kitchen needs me, excuse me" she smiled an embarrassed smile before leaving the men and beauty behind.
What was that all about? Kitchen? Seriously? Ugh. What was wrong with her, everything was fine just before the glam pair showed up.
" Lina!" Called out Gabriel just as she was leaving,
" please give me a moment here, ok? I really need this talk honey, yeah?" Whispered
Desperate Gabriel over her shoulder who wanted Lina's attention and appointment with Mr. Wolf as well.
Lina nodded her head smiling and left but not before catching the eye of a certain man who perceived the exchange taken place with bothersome interest .
All the way to the last door, Lina could feel certain eyes on her, a very perceiving eyes that made her more conscious about her move. Eyes that nade her uncomfortable, eyes that belonged to a very handsome man with the beauty in his arm.
