City of Love [Zaintsee]

Chapter 25

Saint didn't know why Zee had not mentioned this stuff earlier. He was getting annoyed by the minute and constantly kept cursing everyone and everything, he did not know why but still he did, he blamed his mood on the treatment and got dressed, he put on some perfume and just a Lil bit of makeup, he did his hair and put on some accessories and he was good to go. He smiled at the mirror and immediately frowned angrily because he was going to ask Zee why he had not informed that they were shopping for his own party.

He got on the limo and in 10 minutes he reached the building, he was told to go to the penthouse so he took the elevator to go up. There was music, Saint could hear it... Someone was playing the cello and the murmuring sounds of people talking and the usual party vibes were radiating. Saint became even angrier when he assumed that his friends had hired someone else to play, which was supposed to be his job. He went in and looked around and there was no one playing, and that's when he realized the music was coming from the speakers and he remembered that was the piece he recorded. He calmed down, but negative emotions were building up and he had to release that pressure within to not get another attack.

"Saint...there you are" Hailey made a beeline towards him and said "you're finally here, we were so afraid you wouldn't show up"

"Where is Zee?" That's what Saint asked first because he desperately wanted to question him.

"That's why you were supposed to be here early" Hailey crossed her arms with Saint and led him inside, Saint looked around the penthouse filled with people and laughter while he listened to Hailey speak "all these guests are from you know the richer and high-end society, most of them are here especially to meet Zee the new businessman in the block from Thailand as they call it... You wouldn't recognize most of them because they wouldn't have attended our charity events...hmph apparently they are just too busy to come to parties like ours and not too busy to come to a lame housewarming party which was not even intended to be a housewarming party"

"What do you mean by not intended to be?"

"Er ... You will get to know about that later ... That's why you should have come early..."

"Okay ...okay... I should have come early for whatever reason... I am wrong and you are right"

"That I am," Hailey said, flipping her hair. "But I'm so sorry, Zee is now completely cornered by the guests and they are blasting him with questions, and to be honest he is giving out impressive answers... So I don't think he will come and talk to you anytime soon, so... I'm sorry about that"

"Huh ... Okay... But what am I supposed to do in this place until any one of you gets free"

"Well... Look around, Zee will appreciate your input on the interiors and he also asked me to tell you that if you wanted to change something you can let him know"

"But ...why would I do that? It's his home... How can I ?"

"Er... You will get to know about it later, okay find Cedric... Help yourself and enjoy the food, they are all your favorites, we had it all specially arranged it for you"

"But~"

"I have to go now ... Find Cedric," Hailey said and disappeared

"Why am I getting the special treatment today?" Saint finished his sentence to the air and no one replied.

A few minutes later Cedric joined him, but Saint was still grumpy. He tried having small talks with all the people who tried to talk to him, but his main focus was finding Zee, and when he observed Zee was indeed cornered. As he was in the corner surrounded by people of all ages, Saint caught a glimpse of Zee and Zee looked back. Their eyes met for one second and Saint smiled at him to only get disappointed and angrier because the smile was not returned to him. Instead, a gorgeous-looking lady crossed arms with Zee and stayed close to him. Saint was pissed, he was pissed on another level, for a moment he would have given a thought that Zee was probably giving him special treatment because he might want Saint to actually feel special and happy. But that thought bubble was broken and it took only one more mess up from Zee from him to break out right here. Said grabbed a glass of champagne and gulped it down, immediately took another swig emptying the other glass when he was about to pick another one.
