Camera flashes, cheering, clapping and whispers were all going on right after the emcee announced the arrival of D.T ( that's Daniel's stage name).
All eyes were curiously fixed on the stage. Everyone was ecstatic to see their idol. Its been two years since he appeared in any concert or even in entertainment news.
His whereabout for the past two years was still a mystery. Reporter's couldn't wait to bring news about the Nation's idol. They had many questions to ask and they wish that chances will be given so they could fulfill the quest of his many fans.
Lina's heart skipped a beat when she heard the emcee. The scene on the stairs from earlier replayed in her memory causing her face to blush.
'How can she ever forget his...his..' Lina shock her head to shake off any dirty ideas from emerging.
"Why are you shaking your head?" Yvonne asked when she saw her friend's action.
"Huh?, oh! nothing. I felt something fell on my hair " She lied
"Is that so ? okay" Yvonne reluctantly agreed .She wasn't the least bit convinced, but she decided to let sleeping dogs lie.
"Welcome to you all...,
this program won't have been successful...
if you hadn't adhere to my invite...
am grateful... yes am grateful..
I thank you..I thank you.."
Daniel's sounding voice together with the piano created a very warming atmosphere. The words he composed were very simple but sang by him, was very welcoming.
Cheers and applause was heard immediately the sound of the piano came to an end.
"He's good" Yvonne said nodding her head.
It's the first time she had seen him perform professionally. Although she had witness him play with Emil in the house one time, but the him then is very different from the him that she is seeing now.
" Yes, he look so beautiful and addictive" Lina agreed with her own words.
She had watched his countless shows both online and live screens. And she had seen how handsome he looked in those videos. But after personally knowing him and watching him play was far different from when she didn't have any relation with him.
After everything that had happened between them, she saw him in a new light than she had before.
Yvonne looked at her best friend and smiled. She felt immense happiness for her.
Daniel stood up and bowed to the crowed before retracting his steps and walked backstage.
The emcee took over and answered some basic questions of the reporters.
Meanwhile, Yvonne and Lina were each holding a glass of wine as they roam around happily conversing
"Why are you just staring at the wine?, Don't you like it?"
" I like the flavour but I don't think I should drink much considering the fact that a glass this much will knock me down" Yvonne said lifting the glass to eye level.
"Be careful !"
The loud scream shocked both Yvonne and Lina. They looked on with wide eyes
"What ...?"
"Am so sorry, sorry" Yvonne looked scared out of her wits. She couldn't understand what just happened. It happened so fast that before she knew, her glass was empty,and its content was....
"How dare you ?!" Louisa shouted and turned to the victim. She feigned innocence and quickly apologised as if she was the owner of the wine.
" Am sorry mum, are you okay ?"
Kathryn stood there in shock. She couldn't comprehend what just happened. Someone suddenly bumped into her and something cold fell on her, staining the front of her dress.
"Mum?" Kathryn frowned
"Yes mum, it's me ...." Louisa said as she took off her mask revealing her "angelic" face.
"Why's she making you look like a bad person?! She isn't even giving you the chance to apologize. She caused this in the first place. Why did she have to bump into you ?! Look, there's so much space beside me, but she chose the tiny space between us !" Lina furiously said while staring daggers at their culprit's back.
"Shhh, she can hear you" Yvonne placed her right index finger on Lina's mouth to silence her. She sincerely didn't want the issue to become any more messier.
"Why are you still standing there ? Hurry up and apologise to my mum right now !" Louisa screamed earning the attention of those around.
Truth is, the whole mess was her master plan. Thou it wasn't her intention to frame an innocent person but for her plan to succeed,she needed the help of a third person.
Yes, she had planned to take revenge on Kathryn for calling her a nobody earlier on in the car. How could she, a princess be compared to a nobody ?
And that's why she took the opportunity when she saw someone with a glass of wine lifted up and fortunately for her, that person was standing a few paces from Kathryn.
Without even thinking about hurting an innocent being, she forcefully but wisely pushed her so her wine could pour on her, Louis's target. This way, no one will blame her !
"Yvonne feeling guilty for ruining someone's dress, walked beside them, and offered her apology. Lina being the good friend she is, tagged along and apologised as well.
Kathryn stood there not knowing what to say or do. This is because, she was feeling embarrassed with all the people present staring at her. She would have quietly left if Louisa hadn't made a big issue out of it.
Now, she was really angry. Angry at that stupid Louisa for shouting, and also angry at whoever poured the wine on her.
But when she saw the sorry eyes beneath the mask asking for forgiveness, her anger towards her culprit subsided.
" It's alrig..."
"Still standing?! Kneel and apologise to my mum !"
Before Kathryn could complete her word, the sharp and loud voice of Louisa cut through. She was doing all she could to show how much she "care" for her mother in law.
But what she didn't know was that, her actions were little by little becoming an eyesore to Kathryn.
Kathryn wanted to say something, but she didn't want to embarrass Louisa so she just kept quiet and watch as everything was being played.
Felix and elder Tang were annoyed with all what was going on. They more and more dislike that snake of a girl.
No one had seen what had really transpired, but elder Tang had seen everything from the onset.
He had seen two beautiful girls laughing as they approach where they stood. Their laughter caught his attention so he fixed his gaze at them.
Until .....
