Chapter 20

Luna was feeling awkward throughout the night. She had to act as a host on behalf of Andrew and Nikita while waiting for them to join in the party again. She introduced him to all the guests, some of hers, Nikita and Andrew’s business partners. When she introduced his to some of her girlfriends, they looked at him in awed. She could see that they all are attracted to him. She’s not surprise because Leo definitely looked dashing just as she remembered him. His messy hair is shorter and his serious face makes him look mature while all his boyish looks had vanished. He really looks like a businessman just like his father especially when he is in those business suits right now.  She could feel a pang of jealousy when some of her friends flirt with him and glanced once a while at him when he flirts back with them

She pretended to act normal and continued introducing Leo as Andrew’s friend to the rest of the guests and offered him some drinks and foods. She just laughed at whatever the guests said when the actual fact she couldn’t understand a single word said because her mind was wondering away while her heart was beating loudly and wildly. She felt like her heart was bursting out from her chest and once a while she would touch her chest, as if to stop it from beating so loud. She couldn’t understand that even after all this years he still has some effect on her.

Leo remained quiet besides Luna smiling at every guest she introduced him to. He never expected to see her at Andrew’s place and when he laid his eyes on her, he could not take his eyes away from her. Damn this girl still have effect on him, his cursed in his head. Even when she’s just wearing a simple make-up she still looked stunning. She looks more beautiful than in that commercial. Through the simple red dress she’s wearing, he could see she’s grown up. Red, definitely her color and the dress she’s wearing really look great on her even though it doesn’t fully show every curves of her beautiful body.  He could still see that her teenage body is now replaced by a beautiful curvy woman’s body. Her hair still long but she had dyed her hair to dark blond which he think make her look mature.

He could feel her nervousness being around him. He smiled to himself remembering the same way she felt when they were first introduced by Andrew but he scowled back to himself. Well this was all pretence; pretend to act innocent when she’s actually not, especially now that she’s a famous model and he bet some of the guests in this room are one of her fans or maybe “Special Client”. He won’t be surprised even if one of them is her “Sugar Daddy”. Well most models do have one and not surprised if she have one too. How else does one could get easy money? And the way he looks at her style and living right now, somebody definitely is sponsoring her, no doubt about that.

He tried to hide his disgust when he saw the way she laughed with one of the male guest. It was obvious that guy was flirting with her and she’s flirting back with him. He prevent himself from screaming at both of them and take her away from all this and kissed her senseless. What?!! He scolded himself. Stop thinking about kissing her, she’s not worth it, his mind told him.

“So, Mr. Hendricks,” the male guest who was talking to Luna suddenly turned his attention to Leo, “Where are you from?” he asked. Leo couldn’t recall what his name was.

“I’m from Boston,” he told the guest while Luna just stand there listening to their conversation.

“What are you doing here? Business?” the guest asked again.

“Yep, I’m here for the business conference and also checking out my business over here,” he told the guest. “Are you one of Andrew’s business partners?” he asked.

“No, I’m not,” he shook his head, “I’m a friend of Luna and Nikita. We have several business dealings together.”

“Oh,” Leo just nodded his head but couldn’t help but felt jealous knowing this guy is one of Luna’s friends. From the way they act comfortable with each other, he suspected they must have had a something special.
