I.V.C

*Liv's POV*
Today is the day of the I.V.C which means the guys are gonna hold another auction. I'm not really that fond of the auctions but it's a way Soryu can make a lot of money for the Ice Dragons. I just hope they don't get caught with the police looking around.

"That's it for this room," I say to Jess while gathering the supplies.

"It feels so weird," she says.

"What does?" I ask.

"Having the I.V.C and not working it," she says.

"Well yeah, a little but I like being a regular maid," I say," we don't have to deal with all the extra work unless they don't have enough to staff."

"Yeah that is a pro," she says.

"One of many," I say.

"At least, but it still feels weird," she mumbles.

"Yeah, but let's not think about that and just keep working on our regular job," I say pushing the cart to the next room.

"Ok," she says smiling and following my lead.

*Next Day Jess's POV*

It's the beginning of the second day of the I.V.C and we are greeting the VIP with smiles on our faces. I hate doing this so much but I gotta do it for the investigation, I keep telling myself this but it barely helps.

Then I feel a bump from behind from a guest and I stumble into a crowd of people.

*bump*

I accidentally run into someone.  I look up and see cold eyes glaring down at me, I glare back. He looks startled for a second before walking away with groupies behind him.

Liv comes running up to me,"Are you ok?" She asks.

"Yeah I'm fine," I answer with a smile. "Who was that?"

"That was the King, Mr. Ichinomiya," she says answering the question.

"Oh so that who that was," I say while remembering the case file.

"Yup," she says waving it off seeing that I'm ok.

*clack*clack*clack*

I here foot steps and turn around and see Erika walking up with the twins following close behind.

"Just what were you thinking
making a fool out of yourself, in front of important guest?!" she asks.

"Hi Erika," I greet her with a fake smile.

"Just what were you thinking?!" the twins say repeating Erika.

Then Liv comes in, "it was an accident Erika, someone bumped into her just let it go."

"Well, just make sure it doesn't happen again," she says," Jess I want you to go to every floor and drop off all the gift boxes for the guest that have the spa package."

"Bye myself," I ask bewildered since I'm still new.

"You got a problem with it," she asks.

I want to say yes but I hold my tongue and reply"Nope no problem at all."

"Good, now get back to work," she says stalking off with the twins behinds her.

"What is her problem," I mumble.

"Believe it or not she's just looking out for you," Liv answers.

"How is that looking out for me?" I ask.

"She does in her own twisted way," Liv says answering my question," you won't have to do those alone I'll help you."

"Oh thank god I still have a little trouble finding my way around this hotel," I say with great relief, but it is quickly destroyed when I hear a buzzing sound.

*buzz*buzz*

"Oops sorry,"she says while slowly inching her way towards the penthouse elevator," I'm really really sorry but I gotta go."

"Don't worry about it, I got to get used to being on my own one way or another," I say," just go wouldn't want you to be late for anything."

"Thank you," she say looking apologetic,"I'm really really sorry about this." She then makes her way towards the penthouse elevator.

Turning my back to her I walk over to they regulate elevator," Ok let's do this," I say mumbling to myself.

As I get closer to the elevator I see a man a woman fighting. The woman is wearing a fancy dress and has a mask in her hand.

The woman throws the mask at the man and says "I can't take this anymore! It's over, you cheater." She walks away.

The man picks up the mask,"*sigh* now I don't have a date."

When he looks up are eyes meet, I quickly look away and try to walk the other way, but he calls out to me,"Wait don't run away," he says grabbing my arm. I so badly want to punch him but I quickly restrain myself because I'm on the job. He quickly pulls me into the elevator." I'm so lucky I found another date, there's no way I can show up at the party without a pretty lady on my arm," he says.

"Um what party exactly," I say speaking up for the first time.

Before he can answer the elevator goes *ding* and he steps out of it.

"Come on pretty lady," he says grabbing my arm and pulling me into a very luxurious party.

"This is the I.V.C!" I say to him but when I look around he's gone.

"Hey do you have any champagne," someone asks from behind me. I turn around and see Ota Kisaki the famous artist behind me.

" Nope," I answer shortly.

"Hey, don't you know who I am?" He asks with an astonished face.

"Yeah I know who you are," I answer passively," your Ota Kisaki a famous artist who doesn't have that many pieces out, but is still famous and was in a scandal a few years back."

His smiles falters a little before he answers," never mind I found some champagne over there, hope you get back home Alice." With that he walks off. What a weird person I think to myself. I look around and see a sleazy gut making his way towards me. Nope not dealing with him, I think be for disappearing into the crowd.

*bump*

Unbelievable I ran into someone. I go to apologize but find the same eyes from this morning glaring down at me again, so I glare back.

"Watch where your going," he growls.

"Ok, next time I will," I say not even going to apologize. With that he stalks off. I look down and see that he dropped something. A glove?  I ask myself, it looks like the type of glove you use for handling art. Maybe there is a black market auction going here after all I think. I pick up the glove and follow after the 'king'.
