After taking some photos we made our way towards the museum which was garnished with a blood-red carpet. Xavier had now untangled his hand from my waist and I was clinging to his arm as we walked the stairs which were embedded with blood-red carpet.

The ten feet tall Persian white doors were kept wide open for all the guests.

The table garnished with pearl white table cloth which was vacant yesterday were now all filled people who were busy chatting or drinking Champagne.

The sweet melodies of the piano were playing in the background.

"Mr and Mrs DeAngelis!! " A voice said pulling me back into reality. That voice I recognised clearly as it was the same voice which gave me a lot of headaches. It was Mr Brown an old businessman who continuously tried to sabotage my Australia's project when my father trusted him to help me. I was quite close to suing him but since he was Dad's friend I could not do it.

But then ever since it was announced to the media that I am going to be married to Xavier, I heard no complaints from him.

At least something useful came out of this marriage.

"Mr Brown," Xavier said with a meek grin.

The next ten minutes went in him boasting about how good his company was and how Xavier should partner with him for one of the projects and him mockingly saying that I shouldn't have given Dominic fifty per cent of my shares. but Xavier directly told him no and he told him that he shouldn't disrespect 'his wife' but before I could say anything he just pulled me forward to greet other business partners.

I saw Adrian and Hailee together and I mentally rolled my eyes. I am pretty sure he dragged her here. Before I could have a word with him, Xavier tightened his grip on my waist as he whispered in my ear," Before you run away, first we will have to meet all the business associates then do whatever you want." This is going to be a long night.

After thirty minutes of talking about business and talking about four potential projects, I saw Maddie wearing a silvery-grey floral embroidery corset v neck gown with thin straps showing off her midriff and sheer see-through material covering her torso, white floral patterns were laid out on the bodice trailing down towards the hem of the ballgown.

"Gentlemen, if you both don't mind then I would like to have a word with Aubrey," Maddie said as wrapped her perfectly manicured hands around my right arm causing Xavier to remove his hand from my waist.

"Of course Madeline, I must say the decorations and theme and everything is immaculate and well organised," Mr Robinson, the business associate with who I and Xavier were discussing the project of the Andino brothers.
