It's been probably two months since the pre launch of our new jewelry collection. Well, after all the chaos we managed to make up for the wasted time and effort. The launching was successful, and to make up for my anger on those weeks, I treated the jewelry department with foods for a whole week.
And there would be an upcoming event hosted by Prisme for the successful launching of new collections.
"Miss Vaux, invitations for the upcoming event were already distributed" my secretary spoke, handing me a small envelope for the invitation.
"When's the event for the collaboration?" I asked, it was for Prisme and Rousseau company collaboration for a new fashion collection.
"On the first week of following month, Miss" she replied,
"The event this coming week, your dad wants to let you know that there are artists, and models that are invited. Including the previous models the company had, it's also for the overall success of the company" she spoke, I nodded.
"Thank you for the information" I spoke, she left.
I opened the invitation, a formal event. Another social event that I have to attend. The Rousseaues are also invited, even the other companies.
Suddenly, Dad entered my office.
"Looking tired. Haven't got enough sleep?" he asked,
"Just thinking how I'll be so tired for the upcoming event" I spoke, a sudden laugh came out from him.
"Arielle's gonna be there" he spoke,
"Yeah, but the socialization will kill me" I spoke, he laughed. Since it's full of crowd, tiring.
"How are you and Arielle?" he asked,
"We're good" I replied, but the way he asked seems unusual. Something off.
"Great" he spoke, and now he seems restless. What could be it? Is he worried about something?
"Anyway, there might be uninvited people at the event. You know, everyone can bring their plus one, so.." he spoke, what's with the hesitations?
"What are you worried about, dad?" I asked, he clicked his tongue. I know it's a social event, invited ones can bring their plus one. I don't have a plus one as Arielle's invited.
"I'm just...I just got a feeling that there might be something at the event. Since it's a big social event and victory party also" he spoke, but I can clearly see his worries.
"And?"
"And we just have this kind of event after every five years" he spoke, I raised a brow. I am aware of it.
"And you still probably can't forget what happened the last victory party" he spoke, I sighed. So that's what he's worried about.
That it would happen again.
"Although what happened was forgotten by many, I don't think it's the case for you" he spoke, cautious.
It wasn't completely forgotten.
"I'm just...warning you. Be attentive. If possible, maybe stay with Arielle all throughout the event" he spoke, I nodded.
Now that I'm thinking about that, I felt a sudden worry. Would it happen again?
