Veronica and her friends were awestruck to have learned that the man who invited them over was no other that Rawlf Sy! The beyond their league's ferocious, ruthless, and extremely wealthy and powerlful Chief Executive of Sy International who also happened to be Ric's older half brother.
Although they knew the fact that Ric was a son of a powerful business magnate, they were not intimidated by this because first thing, Ric was a very humble and friendly person.
Each one of them belong to wealthy and affluent families, but in front of a Rawlf Sy, they were nothing combined.
Veronica or any of her friends, excluding Ric, never new what someone like Rawlf Sy really looked like. In fact, there were never pictures of him on the internet or on any media. The man was aloof to the media and there was never any controversy linked to him. That's how powerful a man like Rawlf Sy is!
He could control the media of Country P. The only instances where media were allowed to report about him were things related to Sy International and its yearly magnificent growth making Sy International as the giant among the ants of business companies in Country P.
But aside from that, no personal interview or even pictures of him were allowed to be publish unless the said media companies wanted their own destruction. There were some courageous soul who challenged that 'urban myth' and their companies ended up not seeing another daylight.
Veronica and her friends were especially intimidated by the imposing aura Rawlf Sy exudes but she couldn't help herself from stealing glances on him there and then. Sometimes she would also caught him staring at her and she would looked right away and if he would caught her looking at him, her heart would beat faster and then she would feel something in her core as her body trembled.
Veronica couldn't help but to subtly bit her lower lip everytime Rawlf would give her that predatory look.
Is this attraction?! For the first time in her years of existence, she finally experience what's it's like to be attracted to someone. The thing is, it is for someone like Rawlf Sy. Someone too big. Someone too powerful.
"Are you okey?" Martha whispered to Veronica.
"Of..., of couse! Why?"
"Nothing, it's just that you were very silent." Martha giggled. 'Well it's hard to act normal much when we're in front of the most powerful figure in the whole Country P."
"That's true." Veronica giggled back. "I wanna go to the comfort room. Want to come with me?"
"Sure , wait. I'll have to asked Ric first because I'm not familiar of this place. It's my first time in this place as well, haha." Martha stood and walked over where Ric who was seated beside his older brother, Rawlf. Their seat was across her so her checking him out was easy breezey and goes likewise for the man in question.
Veronica saw in her peripheral view that after Martha whispered the obvious to Ric, Ric said something to his brother and was about to stand up when Rawlf said something. Yvette, Rose, Floyd and Gedmaire were still into the cardgame and were already comfortable despite the presence of a Rawlf Sy. The atmosphere lightened up when Rawlf briefly told them earlier that he won't take long and would leave first and since he rented the VIP room for the night, they are free to used it all for themselves since they were with his brother.
Everyone turned toward the door as it suddenly opened, Secretary Ryan stride inside and came towards Veronica.
"Miss Wang, I will assist you to the private CR of this club."
"Oh, you don't have to. Just point it out for us." Veronica confused, looked over Martha who was still talking to Ric.
She was about to call for Martha when Rawlf suddenly stood up.
"I will leave first. Enjoy yourselves." Rawlf then looked over Ric and walked his way towards the door. Veronica couldn't help but feel a slight dissappoinment deep inside.
"Secretary Ryan, assist Miss Wang first. I'll wait for you in the car."
After that, he left with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"Miss Wang, let me lead the way." Secretary Ryan insisted.
"Martha, let's go." Veronica tried to cover the disappointment in her voice as she called out for Martha.
"Will you be okey alone or you need me to go with you?" Martha seems to be enjoying her conversation with Ric.
"Don't worry Miss Lu, I will assist Miss Wang to the comfort room." Secretary Ryan replied hurriedly.
Veronica was annoyed by how insistent the Secretary is. 'Does this Secretary likes me?' She wondered. If Secretary Ryan was able to hear her thoughts, he would right away kowtow to his devil boss for he won't dare covet the women his boss's was interested with, at the moment.
Seeing as Martha was enjoying Ric's company, Veronica resigned and accepted the Secretary's kind offer.
Verinica sighed. "Alright."
