When the performance was finished everyone clapped happily.

- This was amazing! - said Fernand - I was not expecting that both of you are going to sing and that both of you are going to sing so nicely.

- Well... I always had some talent to this... Atleast some people said that to me - the count replied - But I'm glad you enjoyed it.

- It was indeed amazing! - said Mrs. Danglars - Beautiful voices!

"Oh, god... Just stop it already..." - German thought to himself while he sighed deeply.

- Exactly this is how I fell in love with him - suddenly Selvaggia interrupted - I heard him performing and I just wanted to know more about him... And I never regretted it.

"Nice save!"

The ladies already looked jealous again as the count and Selvaggia were smiling at each other, except Angie, who couldn't stop thinking about his voice and how familiar it sounded to her.

----- TIME SKIP -----

German was quite satisfied with the party and how everything came out near the end.

People were about to leave and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves....

- I hope I can still see you some time in my house for dinner - said Fernand - I'd love to have a chat with you in a calmer situation... Not on a party.

- Gladly - German replied - When?

- As soon as possible! - Albert interrupted.

"Fucking annoying, arrogant child... Just like his father"

- Alright, as you all wish... Uhm, how about I'd go to visit tomorrow morning?

- Uhh... Okay, that'll be good!

- After that I need to leave for a little while... This is why I'm in a hurry with this.

- That's understandable... Then we'll see you tomorrow.

And with that the Morcerf family was leaving too, but before leaving Angie shot German one more weirdly jealous look which made him shiver.

- Are you okay? - asked Selvaggia as she stepped next to him.

- Yes... I'm feeling so good - German smirked.

- I can see you really are enjoying yourself while teasing her too. In fact you enjoy that way more than the rest of your plan.

- Ehh... Maybe I do - he laughed - But don't tell me you don't enjoy it! All the women were so jealous of you the whole night.

- Yeah, I've seen that... But I've already got used to that.

- Oh really?

- Yes, really. Many women have been jealous of me in my life... This is just another few women - she smirked too now.

- Wow... And I thought I'm evil - German mumbled.

- We both are and this is exactly why we became close friends!

- That's true...

The suddenly Ali interrupted:

- Pablo Galindo is here - he said.

- Okay, lead him to the salon. I'll talk to him there - German replied firmly.

Ali nodded and left.

- Then I'll leave you be, I guess - said Selvaggia.

- Sorry - he said awkwardly, but she just smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

- It's okay - she said - I'm pretty tired anyway... So have fun! - she added then went to her room.

"God... I'd marry her instead if I wouldn't me so focused on this..." - German sighed before heading to see Pablo.
