My Possessive Billionaire

Chapter 12: Caroline Sanders

Chapter 12:
Angela's pov:
Having everyone look at me, just made me feel nervous. After 1 minute, I see Max waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs, with him in his handsome outfit.
I slowly started to walk towards the bottom of the stairs since I seem to be checked every flaw that I possess.
When I got to the bottom of the stairs, Max extended his hand out towards me. I thanked him and took it.
Everyone then directed their attention to whoever they were talking to or with.
"You look beautiful Angela" Max said looking straight in to my eyes.
"Thank you, you look handsome." I said smiling at him.
I then studied his outfit.
He looked like if he was a nobleman from the Renaissance era. Probably his ancestors were noblemen or part of the elite class.
A few seconds later we were being approached by Andrew and his lovely companion.
"Angela, don't you look lovely", Andrew said.
"Thank you Andrew for the compliment" I said in a soft tone.
"How rude of me to not introduce you to Caroline."
Andrew then turned to the lovely lady at his side.
"Caroline this is Angela and Maximilian." Andrew pointing at Max and I.
"Nice to meet you", Caroline said in an arrogant tone.
Well, just to show her that all people are not the same, I decided to act polite towards her. After all, the only way to fight ignorance is by using intelligence.
"Good evening", I said my head standing tall.
"Evening" Max said while nodding his head.
"Aren't you just his secretary or something like that?!" Caroline said in a high pitched voice while pointing at me.
"Excuse me, but you don't have to be disrespectful to Angela" Max said intervening between Caroline and I.
"No, leave it like that Max, just let her speak her mind", I said putting my hand on Max's chest as to stop him.
"Yeah Andrew told me that you were just his secretary. And now I'm guessing that you don't even know how to act in a ball dance." She said putting her hands on her hips.
"And how is a lady supposedly to act in a ball dance? I mean according to you", I said looking straight in to her eyes, giving her a daring glance.
"A lady is supposed to act like her family raised her, full of not only etiquette and respect but of also of kindness." She said in her high pitched voice.
'Something that you clearly don't do or possess' I thought in my head.
"In my point of view, a lady is not defined by her wealth but by her personality." I said in a calm tone, trying to control the anger that was consuming me because of the arrogance that she possessed.
"In an ideal world that would be it, but this is the world in which wealth defines a person." She said her head standing tall.
"Let me introduce myself properly. Angela Bradshaw, daughter of Michael Bradshaw, the second richest person in this country." I said extending my hand towards her for a handshake.
"Caroline Sanders, heir to the Sanders company." She said full of pride.
Caroline has natural beauty yet she chooses to hide it under all the makeup.
Her bright blue eyes, contrast with her light brown hair yet they make a good combination. She really does make a good couple with Andrew, both of them are so alike in personality and also the way that they would be the example of the perfect couple.
"Well, I just wanted to remind you that I am not here as your personal assistant but as the heir to the Bradshaw company." I said looking directly at Andrew, who by the way had an amused expression on his face.
"Perfectly fine with me Ms. Bradshaw", Andrew said smirking.
Max had kept quiet until this instant.
"Well, we won't make your evening anymore boring." Max said holding me by the waist.
"We should leave you both so you can enjoy your evening", Max said then slowly took us away from them but not without them actually nodding at us.
"Would you like to dance with me, my queen?" Max asked while bowing down.
"My pleasure, my kind sir", I giggled while doing a curtsy.
He extended his arm and I gladly took it.
After that we walked to the center of the dance floor and he spun me around, and then the music started to play. And without knowing I began to have fun at a ball dance.
