Open Relationship with the Boss

Chapter 8: Brownish greens

Hi lovelies!

Leo pictured above :)

I don't know what is this thing about men, but they definitely look hotter as they age!

Leonard Angeles played by Hero Angeles. Right, who doesn't miss Hero? :)

Leo is holding my elbow as we entered the building.

The place is glamorous. I see a lot of popular faces. Famous businessmen, celebrities, politicians. Name it. They are here.

From what I've learned, this event is the annual charity night of the company owned by Leo's father. Who would have thought that I'd be meeting the heir to the famous Angeles Corp? To say that I am impressed is an understatement. Leo is a total gentleman and he is very humble. He never once left my side.

"You wanna have some drinks?" Leo whispered in my ears.

I looked at him with a smile then I nod.

With that he left and went to the bar and I just stood at the corner.

I was looking around admiring how beautiful the place is when I felt someone looking at me.

I looked at the right corner of the hall and saw a tall man with the most intriguing eyes looking at me.

We locked eyes and I see a playful smile formed his lips.

I feel tensed. I want to look away but his eyes would not let me do so. His eyes is so inviting, asking, no commanding me to admire it. It felt like I was in a trance and I can only see him despite the huge crowd.

I see him walk towards me and that's when I panicked. I looked away searching for some place to go except here. Luckily, that's when Leo came back.

"Hey, already looking for me?" He joked.

I smiled at him despite my unease and accepted the drink.

"You okay?" His brows was curled as I see his concern.

"O-oh, yeah yeah, just a little nervous I guess" I lied as I took a sip from the drink and felt the sweet juice run in my throat. I felt suddenly thirsty. I gulped once more. I carefully glanced at the direction where the man was, and I see that he is no longer there. I let go of the breath I didn't notice I was holding.

"I am so sorry, I should have not insisted for you to come." Leo apologized and I instantly felt guilty as I see him looking at me studying my actions.

"No, no, I'm really okay" I smiled at him and hold his right arm "don't worry about me, I just feel a little overwhelmed. There's a lot of well known people here, I feel so-- ordinary." I said playfully squeezing his arm.

He smiled at me upon hearing this, then he took my hand that was holding his arm and linked our arms together as he guide me towards a group of people. He got my empty glass and hand it over a waiter that was passing by.

"Do not think like that, you are the most beautiful woman I've known and you look even lovelier tonight" he looked at me and winked then he looked ahead. I smiled at this. He is just so sweet.

"Leo! There you are" a man on his fifties smile at us.

"Dad" Leo smiled back then he let go of my arms and hugged his Dad.

"This is Amara" he motioned to me smiling.

I smiled back and nodded my head at his father.

"It is nice to meet you sir" I don't know if I should shake his hands or what. But he offered his hand to me  and I thought he will be shaking mine but he brought my hand to his lips and kissed it light. Whoa ! Are we in some Victorian era? Do men still do this? Despite my shock I still managed to smile. Now I see why Leo is such a gentleman.
