Still bickering in the kitchen, Snow and Jinha did not notice the time. Only when Nanny Poon came rushing at the kitchen were they alerted. "Young Lady Snow, Young Lord Sung Joon has arrive! Hurry Lord and Lady Lee is looking for you! Oh Little Bro, you can go home now but don't forget to go out at the side entrance alright? Or else we'll be in trouble!", Nanny Poon said this while almost dragging Snow with her, she did not see Snow signalling Jinha to stay and meet Young Lord Sung Joon.
Snow is so excited, she can finally see her Big Brother practically everyday since he'll be based here in Country S now that he finished his triple Phd in Country E.
"Big Brother! I missed you so much! How can you be more handsome now! Is it still even possible!" The doting Snow ran and hugged her brother to his amusement.
Sung Joon indulgently hugged and whirled the girl around, as tiny as she is (165 cm is quite small for someone who's 186 cm tall) he can easily swing her around. Of all the people around him, only his little sister can make him smile and make him feel human.
From a stranger's point of view, an exceedingly handsome man with a stylishly cut head of shiny jetbalck hair, aquiline nose that can rival a classic roman statue, eyes the color of topaz, which can change its color to dark brown depending on the owner's mood, coupled with incredibly long curly lashes together with red sumptious looking lips that can look feminine if not for the masculine set of jaws and strong chin of the man, can be seen looking lovingly at a young lady who you would not mistake for any other than his sister as their looks are the same only a female version for the girl.
"How's my little snow flake?", with a gentle smile, Sung Joon asked his little sister.
"I'm fine as always but now that you're here I'm so, so, so ever glad. I'm the happiest person on earth!" Snow exageratingly said this while hugging Sung Joon again which earned her a frown from the elder Lord Lee
"Enough! Snow please remember your manners! People are arriving, please contain yourself," said the Lord.
"Darling please do understand our little Snow, she haven't seen her big brother for a long time," Lady Lee said in her kind and gentle voice all the while giving a slight wink at the brother and sister.
"Hrmpp!" Lord Lee coughed as he was gently admonished by his wife.
Everything became a blur after that when the guests arrived.
"Good day, Lord Kensington! Ahh Lady Kensington you are simply fabulous!"
"Mr. President! I am glad you could come. I heard there was a crisis in Washington last week, have you completely resolved it? That's great!"
"Buongiorno Count Vittali! How nice of you to come!"
"Prime Minister Abe! Ohayo gozaimasu! Please enjoy yourself, thank you for coming. I understand, the Emperor called and told me he could not attend."
These guests are top calibers not only in Country S but internationally, as expected with the Lee Family.
As the number of arriving guests dwindled, Snow saw an opportunity to show off her Big Brother to Jinha. Signalling her brother to follow, she sneakily went outside the furthermost door of the ballroom to look for her friend.
Seeing this, Sung Joon went to follow Snow. But as his position as the head of the House of Lee, though it was not formally announced yet but already an open secret to everyone, he was cut off by one person after another seeking his opinion and some for his favor.
Snow was at the side of the main entrance of the Lee Mansion, her position was slightly hidden from the main driveway and main entrance of the building. In her haste to look for Jinha, as the wind blew and the leaves of the nearby Ginko trees swayed, she caught something in her eyes. "Eoww! My eyes! It stings!"
"Hey! What happened? Come here let me see!"
At the sound of this voice, the frantic Snow unconsiously relaxed. This voice always have the power to calm her down as she completely put her trust to the guiding hands.
