Seeing some people walk in through the front door, her eyes looked at every one of them. A smirk tugged at her lips as she picked up the small walkie talkie that laid on the table.
"Her parents and her stepsisters just showed up, let's wait a little, she'd obviously show up."
Her hands dropped as she threw the walkie talkie on the table. Her gaze shifted back to the door.
A sleek black Rolls Royce pulled into the underground parking lot. A security guard walked towards the car and pulled the door open.
Reagan and Stella alighted down from the back seat. They entered the elevator and went to Reagan's office.
Stella looked at him with a puzzled look on her face. "Reagan, aren't we supposed to be downstairs where the party is?" She asked.
"We'll go down but not now. Ryan is in charge of the event. Here, put this on." Reagan said as he tossed a hand band at her.
She caught it effortlessly then looked at it. "What's this for?" She asked as she watched him put on the second one. It seemed like they came in pairs.
Reagan took it from her and helped her put it on. "It will notify me if it notices any unusual behavior around you. You shouldn't go too far from me, it'll go off if it loses connection."
"Oh." Stella mumbled. She looked at the hand band and saw it was glowing with a bright blue light. The design wasn't ordinary but it looked simple.
"Let's go." Reagan took her hand and led her out of his office. They arrived at the down floor and instantly became the center of attraction.
Stella was a little nervous seeing the stares people threw at her. Reagan gave her hand a gentle squeeze.
He led her to their reserved seat were they both sat. The event had already started. They first did a welcoming ceremony where they welcomed the guests that came from overseas.
After that, the old master gave his speech followed by Ethan. The MC looked into the crowd as he called out.
"Let's welcome young master Brighton to the stage to give his speech." The hall was filled with applause from the crowd.
Stella turned to Reagan before he stood up. "Reagan, can I walk around a little?"
Reagan stood up with a nod. "Sure but don't go too far."
"Ok." Stella watched him leave before standing up. She walked to the center of the hall were some food and snacks tray were arranged.
Her stomach was begging for food and filling it up was the only thing she was concerned about now.
Stella picked up some snacks and threw them into her mouth.
"Mrs. Brighton I finally get to meet you in person."
Stella looked up and saw a woman in her thirties smiling at her.
"Hi, nice to meet you." Stella replied. She didn't know this woman but it seemed like the woman knew her.
"I and your husband are business partners. This is my first time meeting you. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Mrs. Sia from overseas. Your husband always tell me about you whenever he comes overseas. He's so fond of you. Happy that I'm meeting you in person." She said with her hand stretched out for a handshake.
Stella smiled and shook her hand. "Happy to see you Mrs. Sia. Can I make a toast to you?"
"Sure."
They both raised their wine glass before drinking from it.
