Paying Life Debts (BL)

Arc 1: 1. 19

The banquet annual party was held in the 7-star hotel owned by the Radford Group. Anyone who had money and connection, they could book the hall or the entire floor for holding their party or any ceremony you wished to.

The party was held on the 24th floor of the hotel building. From the 24th floor to the 27th-floor f the building was reserved for holding the social events or other occasions like parties, weddings, conferences, and so on. However, the 27th floor was reserved exclusively for Radford Group's or Radford's family social events.

The Godrick reception hall was beautifully decorated in vibrant colors. The purple violet theme this year was selected by non-other than the famous aloof secretary Lance. Ivan was quite shocked by the person behind this idea. He didn't know that the aloof Lance loves the purple color, although he agreed that this theme is really creative and beautiful.

If they talked about the theme, Ivan had been wondering about what would the Radford theme this year be. He didn't want to ask Fredrick because there would be no surprise.

Ivan had received permission to resign earlier so today was the last day he worked as Andres' assistant. He came to the banquet with Lance in one of the Andres cars. At first, he wanted to go with Fredrick but Lance said because today was his last day, he should go once more in the name of the company.

Thus, he rode with Lance to the hotel and Andres took another car to come later because he was CEO. Likewise, Fredrick would also arrive later than the three of them because he was a guest.

The banquet started at 7 in the evening, he and lance arrived at 6 in order to entertain the guest who arrived early. Andres and Belinda arrived at 6:30 PM. They stood at the entrance of the reception hall to greet the guest and the employees.

As the name suggested, everyone wore either dark purple or light purple or black. Ivan wore a black suit with a white dress shirt inside. Tonight's outfit was chosen by Fredrick because he knew nothing about fashion, the only thing he knew right now is sleeping, eating, watching the movie, reading the novel, loving Fredrick.

He had fulfilled his last life's wish, to be able to live a carefree life without worrying anything. The only thing he worried about was Fredrick.

Speaking of the devil, Fredrick finally appeared with his handsome face in a black suit around 7 PM. He greeted people along the way as he's walking toward where Ivan's standing.

Fredrick then proceeded to great Andres, Belinda, and Lance. He then turned to smile at Ivan and left a quick kiss on Ivan's soft cheek that he'd been missing in these few hours of separation.

Ivan widened his eyes at Fredrick and gave a small punch on Fredrick's chest.

"Hey! Did you know that we're outside?"

"So, it means that if we're not outside, I can do whatever I want, hmmm?"

"Who said that?"

Fredrick chuckled slightly and felt quite hopeless due to how cute Ivan was right now. Lance was standing between the two couples which were Andres and Belinda, and Ivan and Fredrick. He suddenly felt that he was the light bulb but also not quite a light bulb as they interact with their partner and also sometimes they talked to him.

Without anyone knowing, Harley who supposed to not appear here was here right in the corner of the hall. She looked at Belinda and Lance with killing intent. She took the phone out of her purse and dialed an unknown number.

"Do it!"

After she commanded the plan, she left the avenue with a smirk on her face.

"Belinda, who told you to oppose me and took Andres from me. Today is your final day."
