Its been more than an hour and Drake is still along with Violet. For a while they were visible in front of my eyes and now they are vanished. Jack is busy flirting with the ladies. I don't care about Jack but Drake? He belongs to me...

....Does he like working with Violet a lot? Is the work more important than me? Can't there be any other substitute for that work? He is in sucha high-post....can't he just assign someone else to take care of the work??

Along with all those unanswered questions, the conversation with Joseph was killing me. Joseph sure does knows how to make me feel insecure.

------------------

I befriended quite a few at the dinning. While having dinner, I could hear quite a lot of gossips from the tables next to mine. They were gossiping about many whom I have no clue about. But when I heard Drake's name, I lent my ear to it.

"Drake is a great young man. Violet and Drake work really well together." Says a man in his early 50's I guess.

"I think they not only connect work-wise but even emotionally and mentally and probably even...you know." He winked while saying that and all the guests around him began to laugh when they realised the word which had to come next. Except me, it looked like everyone were enjoying the statement. Well, I was completely horrified.

"Then who was the girl whom he brought along with, to the party? Might be his girlfriend guys." Says a guy in his late 30's.

"Ushhhh... She's right there!! Keep it down fellows." A lady next to the man in his early 50's said.

"No, no she must be an escort girl you know!! Nowadays all these pretty, young ones jump into this profession cause they are paid more than a handful for just escorting them to these kinda functions and parties and to stick around their men till the end. She looks like an escort girl. And look, Drake hasn't come over to even have a word with her. They don't connect at all!! He is more into Violet than his profession. They really make a cute couple." Says a lady who apparently looks like the wife or girlfriend of the man in his late 30's cause of their PDA.

Everyone seems to like Drake-Violet rather than Drake-Anastasia.I felt totally miserable. I was helpless. I couldn't eat anymore. I had lost my appetite. I excused myself from the table and headed towards the washroom.

Slowly tears began to roll down my cheeks when I reached the washroom. Everything is crashing against me. I'm completely smashed. I remove the tissue from my purse and wipe off the tears carefully to make sure the makeup doesn't get spoilt.

As I leave the washroom, I collide against Joseph. He quickly dusts off himself as though he was touched by some contagious stuff.

"So are you ready to hear?" He asked me while he was still brushing off his coat.

I don't know if I'm ready to hear anymore. I didn't have any energy left in me to hear any worse. I wanted to run away. While I tried to walk past Joseph, I hear his voice.

"Its about him." I abruptly turn to face Joseph. Why would he like to talk about him to me?

"He doesn't seem to take in what I say about you. I've tried a lot to erase you outta his mind but failed. I don't know what dark magic you have used against him but he seems to be always in your thoughts." He scowled at me angrily. Hearing all that, I couldn't be more elated. I was in cloud nine. I knew he wouldn't forget me.

"You need to meet him." He says and I'm almost gaping at him.
Of all people, he wants me to meet him?? That's like totally weird.

"He seems to be not in place. He is totally lost. Of all things he wants to do is....to meet you." He says that with a nauseating feeling and I listen to him silently.

"Will you come over to meet him,now? Anyways no one cares if you're here or not. Your presence is the last thing which they would note."

He is right. I don't even belong to this party. The guy whom I'd come along with is also least bothered of my presence or absence. And moreover people around me consider me to be an escort girl. I have lost my identity here,at this place. Why should I even be standing here? Instead I could go meet him who would be more than delighted to see me. Joseph said that I need to meet him. This is something Joseph has neva wanted me to do. But now he wants me to....there must be something wrong.

I've made up my mind.

"I wanna meet him now." I declare.
