Part14 the Tease

HIS POV

The investment house' reopening was like a full house cast. For the first time, the Thomases is giving an event more than those charity balls they do that usually minions would appear. This time, all of the Thomases would be in attendance, specially the patriarch.

It's not Thomas' company, but it's Ratels investment house now owned by Mr. Simon Phillips. Big shot fund manager out of nowhere yet the Thomases believed in him so much that they're putting in that house a billion of their money. Roberts were in sight, Rodriquezes were in attendance, to his surprise, the Martins and other rich families too. He even saw Andy Cole on his always suit clad form. Of course, that serious guy always rubbing shoulders with the Thomas clan. He tried going after the Thomas patriarch earlier but stunned when he saw Andy Cole talking to the old man seriously. Then afterwards, it was the Cole's patriarch who keeps on poking fun around Mr. Thomas.

The Whites were invited too, but no one is in attendance since their family was known snub if the host was not from privileged one.

But he's there to mingle making a splash of surprise to most of the people who knew his family. Patricia James was in attendance being one of their close friends now and she took him for accesory. That would be a chance to formally announce that they're together. Arriving both with Patricia's bling on display.

He's walking and tried tipping gently his flute to some people he knew but that's the only thing he do. His eyes was searching. Searching for that one girl he saw ten years ago

He saw Luke Roberts earlier laughing at loud with some executives with his left arms threwn to a beautiful brunette woman. Not his wife. The guy was known playboy during his days but he can't absorb the fact that the manufacturing magnate will womanize that time with all Thomases in attendance!

Then, there, in the middle of gowns and jewelries he found her laughing with a lot of finese. She's immaculate in her white long dress with golden beads. Glowing in her golden wavy locks and grey eyes.

Christine

The most beautiful woman he set his eyes on. After ten years, she hasn't change. She's four years younger than him but it seems like she never grew old a bit.

She sided and found him looking at her. She smiled sweetly when she saw him walking forward. It feels like he's walking towards her in a church where wedding bells would ring for both of them. Just like last time

"Christine"

She smiled again with all things glowing, "Hi Gab, how are you? It's been a long time"

Gab bobbed his head, "Yes, ten years. You haven't change a bit"

"What does that means?" Christine asked that tilting her beautiful head

"It means you still as lovely of that of twenty year old," he explained, smiling for the first time in a long time

Christine's rosy cheeks turned redder. Oh he loved those blush. Specially if it's because of him

"Thanks Gab," she replied politely and cleared her throat. "Congratulation by the way, you're engage with Patty"

He nodded, "Tin, the last time we talk…"

Tin shook her head cutting him, "It's alright Gab. I understand." She then laughed lightly and laced her both slender arms, "And look, we had our own lives! Isn't that fantastic?"

He nodded again in reply but stared down at the girl in front of him. She's still have those effect on him even after ten years

"Nice view isn't it?" a man's voice suddenly asked beside him
