Chapter 6- Emergency Exit

Daniel's eyes followed Cassandra as Joseph brought her to the center of the dance floor. 

Hindi niya maiwasan ang pag saya dahil naiwala nanaman niya ito mula sakaniya. He can't take Cassandra's presence kaya nong inaya siya ni Joseph ay galak ang naramdaman niya. 

Then he remembered the woman standing beside him. Tinignan niya si Kathryn Vanderpilt as she gaze around the place. 

"Do you wanna dance, Ms Vanderpilt?" Tanong ni Daniel sakaniya.

Tinignan siya nito and he can't help but be engrossed by her eyes. Her eyes are very enticing. He met women with foreign eyes, some were enticing, yes, but not like hers. Itim na itim ito and bilugan, you can even see your own reflection in it.

"So... this mansion has been for five generations already?" Nakangiti niyang kay Daniel.

He mentally came back and focused on her question, "Seven, actually." Sagot niya. Umiwas siya ng tingin at nilibot ang paningin sa buong lugar.

"Oh, but you hrew up here, right?" 

"Unfortunately, yes." Tinignan niya si Kathryn at nakitang interesadong interesado ito.  

He can't help but looked down and took a peak on her revealing cleavage before returning his gaze on her.

"Unfortunately? Bakit naman? Kung ako siguro nakatira dito, I will never leave the house," Tumawa si Kathryn at nilibot ang tingin sa lugar.

"Well this house has almost 60 rooms, but we mostly use the north and west wing side. Yong mga nasa east and south are just for guests." Nakita ni Daniel ang pag ngiti nito.

"Oh, it's that big? Yikes, ayaw ko na palang tumira dito." Ngumiti siya kay Daniel.

May isasagot pa sana siya nang dumating na sina Joseph at Cassandra. Joseph is smiling at Kathryn while Cassandra contradicts his expression. Nakasimangot ito at kumapit kaagad kay Daniel nong nakalapit na.

Daniel saw how Joseph immediately snaked his arms around Kathryn's waist. Hinapit niya ito papalapit and she saw how Kathryn smiled at patted his cheeks. 

Tumaas ang kilay ni Daniel at umiwas nalang ng tingin.

Kathryn was starting to feel irritated. Kanina pa niya gustong buhusan ng hawak niyang drink si Joseph pero pinipigilan niya lang. 

Her talk with Daniel was very helpful kaya kailangan na niyang tumakas mula dito. 

Mula sa malayo ay nakita ni Kathryn si Alistair na kausap ang isang pamilyar na business man. She needs his help.

"Uhm, Joseph? Can you please get me more of this?" Tinaas niya ang baso niya at pinakita nag drink kay Joseph.

"Nakakarami ka na ah? Aren't you drunk yet?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Joseph.

Gustong tumawa ni Kathryn pero pinigilan niya lang. 

"It'll be my last glass, promise." Ngumisi siya kay Kathryn at pinatakan ng halik ang pisnge bago kinuha ang baso niya at dinala sa bar section. 

Pagtalikod ni Joseph ay humarap siya kina Daniel, "Excuse me for now, Mr Montereal. Enjoy your night." HIndi na niya hinintay ang pagsagot nito at tumalikod na.
