"I think I will have this dance with my fiancée now."I have been sitting on the exact same place Alessandro left me for at least ten minutes and yet my heart is still beating in the same rhythm.
He had already disappeared somewhere in the crowd, probably making sure people will remember he was in the event in case he needs an alibi.
What was Alessandro doing? Why was he so close..and then..
I grabbed a glass of champagne from the passing maid and gulped it down in a second. I think that if I want to get through this then I will need at least ten glasses of my father's Russian vodka or possibly an entire bottle. I cringed at the taste of champagne but once it settled in me, I took a deep breath and started walked away, deciding to find Enzo.
Note to self : Kill Enzo for the second time for leaving alone..
I walked around the room, passing through crowds of people who were chatting, laughing or looking at the paintings. I glanced up at the clock on the wall, which I hadn't really paid much attention to.
15 more minutes
I thought to myself. Fifteen more minutes and the was going to be the guards swap. I got so lost in the moment with Alessandro - or whatever that was - and I didn't pay attention to the time running out. Great, just great. I had to find Enzo and explain the plan ASAP!
I looked around and took a deep breath
Okay.. Emilia you have a smart brain, if you were Enzo were would you be, inside a possibly rich man's house in an event full of people -
My eye caught the corner of the room. There were at least three girls and they were standing in front of..a sofa? That meant they must be talking/ staring at someone. Which means..
I rushed there, making sure not to run and attract suspicious attention. Finally, my ear started to pick up on the conversation.
"..And then, I did a deadlift and everyone started cheering and clapping for me."
I recognise this voice.."Wow! Enzo, you are so strong.."
Came a female voice"Yes, just how aren't you a professional boxer yet?"
Came another"Girls, girls, I am very handsome to be a plain boxer"
The girls giggled as I groaned and pushed past them and finally was able to see Enzo clearly. He was on the sofa, his legs crossed and he was smirking at the girls
"Enzo, you need to come with me..we need to do the job..? You know"
I said with a panicked look
The girls gasped behind me
"Enzie? What is she saying?"
"Yes, baby come on! You should stay with us, this gurl is not worth your attention!"
