Victoria's Pov 

" Who is this ? "

" Congratulations , you are the hostess of this year's exclusive upper gala "

" Excuse me , who are you ? "

" I will send you all the details you need to host the gala . Bye "

A few minutes later , I get a file containing all the details I need to know to host this year's gala . When I arrive home , I call my assistant to contact caterings and venue decorators .

3 weeks later

Victoria's Pov 

Everything is ready and the invitations are already sent . Tonight needs to be perfect . 

A few hours later

Everyone is busy preparing the foods in the kitchen . I change into a long sleeve black dress with a deep v-neck on the front . I do my make up and put my hair into a bun . I open the front door of my mansion and greet the guests . 

" I didn't expect to see you tonight " I said .

" I am one of the gala's council and I won't go easy on you " Cynthia link her hands to mine .

" Let me show you the gala I made is spectacular "

I show her around the ballroom .

" These are the delicacy for tonight " 

" The food looks delicious "

" Why don't you try one ? "

Cynthia try one of the pastries .

" Mmm, this is so good " 

" I only picked the best foods for this gala . I gotta go to stage " 

I let go of her hand and go to the stage .

" Hello everyone , I am Victoria Valor, the hostess of this year's exclusive upper gala "

Meanwhile

Asher's Pov 

I watched her gracefully walking to stage . I am surprised to know that she is the hostess of this year's exclusive upper gala . She looks amazing with her long sleeve black dress . 

" Don't get your hopes too high . She is only available for women " my best friend, Rick said .

" I am gonna get her no matter what "

" We'll see about that "

Back to 

Victoria's Pov 

After I greet everyone , I decided to get away from the crowd and  go to the balcony . I enjoy the fresh air here . I feel so free . I inhale the fresh air .

" I didn't expect to find you here " Asher said .

" Were you following me here ? " I asked .

" Sorta . Don't worry I'm not here for trouble . I apologize for how I treated you three weeks ago "

" I'm not gonna believe your words so easily "

" Why don't we ask each other ten questions ? "

" Alright . Dark chocolate or white chocolate ? "

" Easy . White chocolate . Would you rather go on hiking or sailing ? "

" I'd go with sailing "

After a while , we get bored .

" It's nice talking with you . But , I gotta go " 

" I like your smile . You should smile more often "

I find myself blushing at his words . Good thing , he can't see me clearly . I slowly walk away and go to the ballroom .

Asher's Pov 

" Dude , where have you been ? "

" Just the balcony upstairs "

" Is there something going on between you and Victoria ? "

" We just talked on the balcony upstairs "

Victoria does a closing on this year's gala . When I see the guests are leaving , I make my way to leave but..... 

" Will I see you again ? " my steps are stopped by her .

" It depends on where I am . Why ? " I twist my head to her direction .

" Nothing "

After that , I rush to go back to my apartment . When I arrive on my apartment , I turn on the lights . I open a bottle of whiskey and pour it to a glass . Then , I sit on the sofa and drink the whiskey .

" This is not healthy for you " a woman's voice said behind me .

" I can drink whenever I want and you're not my sister , Nancy "

" But , you've thought of me like your very own big sister " she walks to me .

" Fine , I lose and you win " 

" You should consider settling down with someone " she advised me .

" How can he settle down with someone when sleeping with women is like sport to him " Asher said .

" He only sleeps with women once in every two weeks " she said to him .

" Both of you are wrong . I only sleep with women once in every two months cause the payment is getting more and more expensive "

" Anybody know about Dalia ? " I asked trying to break the silence .

" She is working under VA Cosmetics now . Why ? " Nancy answered .

" I just want to know how is she doing "

" If you still like her , then go to her " Rick said .

" I am gonna have a shower . You may go home " 

While I am showering , my mind keep going back to Victoria and how good she looks tonight. After I am done with showering , I go to bed . Not even a few seconds , a thought invades my mind . Someone has discovered about wizards . The question is who ?
