Brie and Rosa walk around the venue, greeting people they know along the way.
Rosa keeps on smiling but looks uninterested with things around her.
"Are you still pining for Jonas?" Brie quirkily asks.
"Hello, I am so over him." Rosa rolls her eyes. "I am not fond of suffering. Am not a masochist. Maybe you are?" Rosa stated staring at Brie.
Brie answers back, "Am a sadist, don't you think? I wiped off my exes once they started harassing me to marry them. Such losers."
"My heart goes out to them. What a pity," Rosa sends her prayer to the men who have crossed paths and would cross paths with Brie.
Brie pesters Rosa. "So, what is your ideal man to replace Jonas?"
"I do not have to replace him. He should be totally 'wiped off' me. Duh." Rosa pats her shoulder raising her eyebrows. "Well, the guy must be trustworthy and loyal, smart, kind,…"
"Standard answer. Anything new?" Brie butts in.
Rosa continues to talk, "Witty, loving, faithful…"
"There you are Rosa!"
Both ladies turn around. Brie comments "You've missed us already Madam?"
"Not you. Rosa." Madam Desta takes Rosa's hand while her other hand holds onto a man.
Desta introduces the two, "Rosa I want you to meet Graysen. Graysen this is my mia Rosa."
"Your daughter?" Graysen probes.
"My adopted. She is Draco and Violet Eder's precious girl."
"I see." Graysen smiles. "Hello Rosa. It is my pleasure to meet you."
Eyes on Rosa's face, Graysen extends his right hand to Rosa.
Taking his hand lightly, Rosa smiles a bit. "Hello, Graysen."
"And Graysen this is Brie, Rosa's confidante cum manager."
Brie greets Graysen smiling formally.
"Manager?" Graysen looks at Brie.
"Rosa is a professional model. And Brie deals for Rosa," Madam Desta explains. "And this party is the launch for the magazine cover in partnership with Quaint Fashion. If you happen to pass by the big cover mock-up outside, the one in the cover was Rosa."
"Oh, right. It looks great." Graysen looks at Rosa again and inquires, "Ladies, care for some red wine or champagne?"
"Champagne," Rosa answers.
"Red wine for me and Madam," Brie says.
Graysen instructs the two men wearing black coat and ties to look for a waiter. They are Graysen's assistants and bodyguards at the same time.
Graysen hands them the drinks and the ladies thank him.
Graysen holding his champagne utters, "A great toss for a gorgeous model and a great manager."
The four raise each of their glasses and takes a sip.
Madam Desta excuse themselves to bring Graysen to mingle with some congressmen and CEOs.
"Maybe we can do business one of these days, Brie, Rosa," Graysen announces before walking away.
Brie replies to Graysen, "I'll look forward to collaborating with you."
Brie pulls Rosa to an empty space to avoid people hearing her. She suddenly shrieks when they are already alone.
"Do you know that man? He is the Senator Graysen Andrei. From being a top notch lawyer, he rises fast enough to be the youngest high-ranking politician in Ronia. He is very elusive to women. And, he is still single." Brie emphasizes winking at Brie.
