"What? You are not coming?" Reichel questioned him.
"You go in.....I'll be there"
"What do you mean by that. What am I supposed to do there"
"I'll be there in a minute..." he replied calmly.
She cut the call and went inside. Confused, she found herself a table and waited for him to come.
She looked around. Lot of people mostly came for official purposes. Covered themselves in luxuries and elegance.
Within a couple of minutes, in his usual yet dashing style he made his appearance. Suddenly there was a breeze which came from nowhere. It made his hair and coat flow along.
A momentary feeling rolled through her. She herself don't know why she felt a little bashful when he sat opposite and dropped a smile at her.
He examined her. She looked beautiful and positive from the face but from the inside she was a little timid.
"She looks ready" a voice from behind him said.
To her surprise it was Catherene.
"Hey..... "
Cat came near and gave her a side hug and sat beside her.
"I'm pretty sure he didn't tell you about me coming. Did he? "
"Nope" Reichel responded.
Now that the members have increased, she knew that the situation must be challenging.
She wasn't afraid but wasn't that brave though.
She slowly raised her head to look towards Red and said, "You could have just taken it back, why waste your time in such things?"
"You'll know in a bit" he responded.
"Anyway what made you late?" she asked.
He pointed towards Cat who I return gave a disagree look.
"Anyway I've got a perfect plan" Cat said.
"Plan? What exactly should I do?"
"You see that women sitting there" Red sounded.
He pointed towards the rightmost corner, where two women where sitting enjoying their meal. To her surprise one of them looked familiar.
"Is... that...your fiance?"
"Don't say that." he said irritably.
She felt something fishy. By now she was sure that the four of them in the same hotel was a pre planned thing.
"I want you to do something to her" he sounded.
"Why? "
"I told you before "
"That you hate her? "
"Right..." he smiled
"So what....?"
He leaned forwards and said,
"Do you remember that night at the party how she behaved to you?"
"Yeah..... why? "
"So go get revenge..." Cat said.
That night that women did behave rudely to her. But it ain't necessary to get a revenge.
"Is it necessary? " she mumbled.
"C'mon where is that shouting angry girl I know? " Cat hoped in.
"Huh? "
"Give it a thought. She made you mad. It was all because of her that you ran away from there and walked through the cold street and nearly caught a cold. And always she has this dominating character. And I hate that a lot. So, Doesn't she deserve it? Isn't this revenge worth it? "
Cat gazzing
She gave it a second thought. The bad ass in her woke up. It ain't that bad to get a small revenge. But she paused.
"What if she does something bad back? "
"Don't worry. She won't stand a chance to react. Trust me" Cat assured.
She was half sure of to it even now.
"Nothing will happen" he said, giving a complete assurance look.
"Ok...I'll do it "
He made his spooky smile and handed her a glass of grape wine.
"Go piss her off" Cat motivated her.
She stood up. Putting on a revenge face, holding that glass elegantly between her fingers she walked towards her.
The very next Haira's expensive dress was stained by wine. Her white dress looked like it had been soaked in ink. An angrily surprised Haira stood up from the table ready to start a war.
"What the hell...." she shouted.
The whole hotel was alarmed.
"How dare you do that?" she shouted.
Reichel calmly responded, "You got what you deserved"
Meanwhile Red adjusted himself to see the picture and enjoyed the way Haira was loosing her temper without caring about her image in the public.
"You think holding hands with a rich man will take you to the top. Don't forget that you are just an ordinary person and people like don't even deserve to stand in front me" she shouted with all her might.
" That's enough"
Red entered into the picture.
"Redrane? So you are with her? " she surprisingly asked him.
"Got a problem with that?" he responded.
"But I'm your fia... "
"Cut the crap"
"Yeah... that's my bro...." Cat's eyes sparked with excitement.
"You can't speak to me like that for this filthy little...."
"Chose your next words wisely" he threatened.
"Shut it.....she is not worthy to be with you" she shouted at him.
His cold aura started to spread, making everyone including Haira gulp.
He took Reichel's hand. He held it tightly. His warn hands in hers made herself feel secured. For a moment she felt that no matter what she does, as long as his hands are holding hers like this, no one will dare do anything to her.
"Is that so? Then why are you there and she here holding my hand? "
Haira couldn't resist anymore.
"I'm way much better than her.... She...."
He didn't let her complete. Before that he turned around still holding her hand tightly walked away from the scene.
"Wait.... you.... " she kept on shouting at them.
Red paused for a moment and turned and looked at her in pity.
"Even if you try for centuries you can never reach her level. Never"
Suddenly Reichel's heart rose. She felt really happy as a result a small smile emerged.
He threw a pitiful smile at Haira and vanished from the scene along with Reichel.
"No....you can't leave me... " she struggled.
"He is my man... "
She stepped forward but twisted her ankle and fell on the floor. She slowly got herself up. Her anger was too much which made her throw a glass to the floor. But her anger became a burden on herself. The glass broke and a huge piece attacked her leg. The pain made her anger flush away. She looked around and realized that she was in public and that a lot of blood was escaping her leg.
Cat went towards Haira and said, "You know, this look of yours" with pitiful eyes she rolled it all over Haira "covered in grape wine, with one leg spitting blood suits you more"
"You... " Haira began again.
"No...no..no.. you may bleed your other leg too" she said smiling pitifully at her.

The ambience was peaceful outside the hotel. He still had her hand. She didn't withdrew, because she didn't want to.
"Nice work princess" he said.
