??????:Excuse me,are you okay?Did you get hurt?I'm really sorry that wasn't intentional...

Ashley:No,I'm completely fine,also thank you for holding me.Else I would have kissed the floor.

I said with a light smile on my face.He just chuckled,did I just say something funny?I hope I didn't say anything terrible.Else,I'll be sued.But he was cute when he was smiling...Gosh Ashley,what exactly is wrong with you...Why are you trying to be so nice with someone who you don't even know the name of...Just then,my so called step-mom appeared out of no where and I was praying that I won't get hit infront of this huge crowd,specially infront of him, just for not being able to balance myself while walking down the stairs...

Mrs.Kim:Are you okay Jacob?Sorry I saw Ashley almost made you fell...+

What type of a mother would take the opponents' side instead of checking whether her daughter is hurt? Whatever I know they never cared about me so it's okay...Wait! She called him as Jacob,then that should be his name...Nice name I thought but didn't tell aloud.

Jacob:I'm completely fine Mrs.Kim.Also it was me who hit on your daughter cause I was looking for the restroom and I didn't see her coming.I hope she didn't get hurt.

Mrs.Kim:Oh is that so?It's okay,she's completely fine.Let me show you the restroom.Come with me.

She didn't even bother to ask me before saying I'm not hurt.Okay that's how my so-called mom is.Jacob had an apologetic look before leaving with her.I started going to where my dad was since step-mom went to accompany Jacob.I wonder why she offered to direct him herself,she's not the type to help others voluntarily.However,since dad was quite occupied with greeting the guests and talking with them,I decided to go to my friends after few minutes.He didn't even talk to me  but once I saw him observing my dress from the corner of his eyes without getting caught.He was not that disappointed with my choice,I could say from his look.

Olivia:Here comes our royal queen,Ms.Ashley...Welcome!!!

 Zayn:Babe it's her party,why are you welcoming her when we're the invitees here?😂Anyways,come Ash,you can sit here.

Amelia:You can stay with us right?We're going to take many photos together today.Btw,I love your dress,it's not much fancy,but there's some kind of beauty which I can't point out....Ummm I wonder what it is🤔

Adam:Of course,it's because our Ash is pretty,unlike someone I know here.😉

Amelia:Don't you dare to say I'm not pretty,there are dozens of guys out there to accept this pretty princess if I left you right now.😒🧟🏻‍♀️

Here goes their daily dose of argument.I wonder if there's any other couple on this world who are more childish than these ones next to me...As expected,it didn't last for too long and they made up within the next few minutes.

Olivia:By the way Ash...I forgot to ask this because of these kids fight😉😆Who was that handsome guy who almost pushed you on the stairs?I haven't seen him before.

Amelia:Yaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh even I forgot it,I saw you both flirting with each other before Mrs.Kim came there.Who was he?

Zayn:Daebak!don't tell me Ash is soon gonna have a boyfriend,then we'll be even huh...

Adam:Jinjja!?...

Ashley:Hellooo!Let me speak without questioning continuosly😂🙌🏻I only know that his name is Jacob and Amy my darling😒 ,we were clearly not flirting,he was just apologising for hitting me😂there's nothing as you guys think😒😉😂...

Olivia:Oh is that so?Okay okay then😂,we were just curious,you know...else we would have celebrated for our great Ash falling in love finally😉😂.

The event went on for few more hours and most of the time,my glare was on Jacob who was sitting with his family right across our table in the VVIP zone.The whole event was more like a welcome party and if my gut feeling was correct,it was organized to welcome Jacob's dad.After dad's and Mr.Smith's(Jacob's dad's) speech,I found out that they have been living abroad and recently moved to Berkley.He held a higher ranking than my dad and he has been in charge of another company which was situated overseas in Seoul.No wonder why step-mom offered to guide him earlier.

The whole function went pretty well and to my surprise,I wasn't feeling much bored as I've felt before.Maybe it was because I was with these freaking fellows the whole day.I went to bed and suddenly remembered the most marvelous guy I've ever met...I didn't realise that I was falling asleep while thinking of Jacob,who I just met few hours ago...
