ME AND MY DANCE

CHAPTER 16

CHAPTER 16: - Gala Night.

At the venue of the gala night, a glamorously long red carpet was placed on the ground, just at the
entrance.

The scene was encircled with various forms of paparazzi swarming the surroundings, with their phones and cameras. Invited guest, mostly celebrities, were out there having their pictures taken, together with their dates. The paparazzi also didn’t let the chance of having an interview with this big shots, pass them by.

It was 7:30pm already, when a black sedan stretch limo, pulled up at the entrance.

The driver ran to open the car door and right there in the presence of everyone, a drop dead handsome young man, clad in a beautiful slim fitted beige suit came down from the luxurious car parked by the entrance, exhibiting a cold and elegant aura. His good looks were beyond this world.

After getting off, Richard stretched forth his hands towards the car for Damilola to take. The taken aback Damilola who was confused and wondering what was going on in Richard’s head, pushed all thoughts behind her head and took his hand. A pair of stunning beige heels stepped out, accompanied by a pair of dark skinned long legs.

Damilola made her way out of the car, and with a loving smile, wrapped her hand around Richard’s arm, taking him by surprise.

Damilola’s elegant look rendered the people speechless. Her perfectly shaped face, showed how much time God took in creating it. Her beautiful royal blue gown exhibited her beautiful skin and gracefully refined body shape.

Just who was this beauty? Was the question on everyone’s mind.

They were already surprised that Richard came to the event. He never attended such events. As if that wasn’t enough, he came along with such a beauty.

The paparazzi didn’t want to miss such a great scoop as this. They began flashing their camera, as they took several pictures of them.

Damilola stared at her hands which were wrapped around Richard’s arm. She could feel extreme warmth coming from him. If possible, she wanted to stay in this position forever.

Taking a look at Richard’s face, she realized that unlike the way she felt, Richard was completely calm, like nothing was happening.

"He is capable of staying calm while causing such turmoil in my heart?"

Anyways, this wasn’t something that happened always, she should enjoy it while it lasts.

She was holding hands with the most handsome man she’d ever seen.

Together, they walked down the red carpet, completely ignoring all questions being asked by the
paparazzi.

The hall was designed beautifully and many business men and women could be seen working around, chatting and laughing. A perfect venue and time for networking.

Damilola and Richard were led to their seats, which was of course a special one. Damilola’s eyes kept
roaming around the banquet hall. Her eyes were fishing out various celebrities she never thought she would ever meet.

Few moments after finding a seat, Richard stood up, as Damilola reluctantly followed him.

Damilola and Richard made their way to the other end of the hall, where a young man who looked like he was in his late 30s was standing. He was tall and handsome. Damilola immediately recognised him. Which Nigerian wouldn’t know this man? He was the president of crystal industries limited, which was the biggest conglomerate in Africa.

Damilola stared at the man before her. This man was definitely taking enormous care of himself to look this young,  when he was way older.

“Hi, Mr Richard, nice meeting you here,” he said, as he stretched forth his hands for a handshake, which Richard took.
