All the VIP people arrived, and they are drinking champagne, talking, and making new connections for themselves. They are waiting in the main hall of the house, everything is so shiny, beautiful chandeliers, stage is next to stars and Joseph it just needs to come down form the stairs and reach to the stage to start his speech. All the men wearing fabulous suits and women wore dresses from all the famous brands. Bodyguards are everywhere to be found, servers pasing finger foods in passed hors d'oeuvres style. Cocktail tables placed everywhere and five guests standing around each table. An orchestra plays classic music in the background until guests enjoy the music while waiting for Joseph to arrive.

Elizabeth, leah, and Joe are still waiting in the other hall until Joseph tell them to join him on the stage.

Leah is excited, but Joe feels nervous and angry at the same time. He is thinking of taking Elizabeth hands and they both run away together, but he knows it is impossible with bodyguards being all around the house. There is no way just to wait and see what will happen at the end of the night.
Elizabeth noticed that something had happened in the Joseph office, so she is starting to make a plan in her mind of how to protect herself if something happened.

Joseph's family is attending the party too. He has a daughter who is married to the son of the president, and they have a 15 years old son with the name of Alex.

Finally, Joseph came down from the stairs and went on the stage, and he started:

"Hello everyone! Thank you for accepting my invitation. Today, we are here to celebrate the birth of the first human who was made in the lab. Every single part of her is made by the hands of the genus scientists.
I'm happy to announce that Elizabeth is here with us tonight, and she is ready to enter our world. Please make sure to make her feel comfortable among us as it is her first time to see people rather than scientists who grow up .

This is you and Elizabeth( everyone is clapping while she is entering the stage)."

Leah and Joe are walking beside Elizabeth, and all three of them enter the stage. She is standing in the middle, and she is surprised by the amount of the crowd that she is seeing. It is so crowded for her to analyse each person body language, but she is trying to analyse as much as she can. All those people are smiling and clapping. Some of them are just whispering something in the ears of the person who is beside them.

Leah starts her speech: all of us are so happy that we are here, and finally, we find a chance to show our be loved Elizabeth the true face of the world, now she is ready to experience new things with your help and do her part as a member of this country.

Mr Joseph: Thank you, Dr. leah maden for your speech, I know all of you want to have a chance to talk to Elizabeth. She will be among you, and she will answer your questions as much as she can. Please remember this is her first time that she is facing the crowd. I would appreciate it if you could go one by one and make a safe environment for her to talk, If she is not answering a question, don't put her under the pressure, she is cooperating with us and I request your cooperation with her too. Thank you.

Elizabeth went  down of the stage. At first, everybody stayed, and they didn't move until she looked at all of their faces. Everyone was quiet, and they were waiting for her to show some reaction.

Doctor Joe started asking her questions: What do you think Elizabeth that everyone are hear to see you?

Elizabeth: I feel I'm different, every single one of them showing thousands of emotions in their faces while I can't understand half of their movements to guess what does it mean. I thought it would be easier than this.

Joseph douther ( emily) : You know we are here to be your friend, and a friend is a person who will help you all the time without expecting anything from you. A friend will love you and want to see your progress, the same thing leah and Joe are.

Elizabeth: I think you can't be my friend because all of you want something from me. So I haven't had any friends since the beginning, but I understand what you mean. You mean I can trust you and feel safe around you.

Dr. joe: I'm so sorry for what she said. She is not good at social skills as you all know she was all alone until now. But you know what she meant, that's means a lot for her to feel safe around someone, and I know she will appreciate your friendship.

Emily (with smile on her face) : we understand, Doctor Joe, don't worry about anything. I believe now it is a good time that we all chears for Elizabeth.

The glasses went up, and everyone was laughing, but Doctor Joe knew that nothing good would happen for Elizabeth. She was already a toy in their hands, but before they didn't have access to it, but now they can control her  from close and do whatever they want.
Joe was starting at Elizabeth, and tears were in his eyes. He was mad at himself, how blind was he when he created her, and now he doesn't have the power to protect his own creation.
