the Smith's were known for their unimaginable wealth that even thousands of generations to be passed on still it's just like a drop in the bucket for them. one would think they owned an underground well that gives them endless supplies of money...that's why powerful men, business tycoons, government officials will do everything they can just to be acknowledge by this clan, they wouldn't want to pissed any of the member especially the young CEO lance smith, who is at the age of 16 is running a multi billion company of his own.and it's no rumor that once his 21st birthday comes all of the family businesses will be pass down to him. they can only approach the matriarch of the smith, william smith and his son jonas smith but never lance, he was unpredictable and with just a snap everything can change. rumors has it that those who tried to have their daughters bare the tittle of young madam smith ended up bankrupt. elder smith and first young master smith had no say when it comes to relationship issue or who ever the luckiest maiden that the young master of the smith laid his eyes upon. and eventually those greedy ambition was kept within those who dreamed to be a part of smith clan.
lance made his entrance in the banquet. guests wanted to give their greetings as soon as he walks inside but judging from his facial expressions he is not in the good mood and so the room fell on a deep silence that no one dared to breathe fearing they might offend him. no one would want to have a blood bath. as soon as the first madam smith saw his son she smiled at him warmly.
" darling, im glad you made it "
she said while lance just made a small nod indicating he heard her. first madam smith knew her son very well that he never like public affection. just like the men in the family does that attitude runs only in male members of the family???jonas had 3 younger sister but they were never this grumpy! Elliezabeth the second child, emery third one and elliesse their youngest were all full of life bubbly and energetic. although all of them were just born year apart.for four consecutive years patriarchy of the smith ellainne , give birth tp a child. but unfortunately she had an incurable cancer that took away her life when jonas had just finished attending college he was 16 that time elliezabeth was 15, emery 14 and elliesse is 13.
even though lance had a temperamental mood his auntie's spoiled him very much. as soon as the news of their sister inlaw being pregnant these three young mistresses of the family had bought tons of baby stuff.
the program had just started and lance knew it would take forever before this banquet ends. so he fished out his phone and began doing some work.he was so engrossed with his phone when suddenly someone snatched his phone from him it was quick and unexpected that it took him full one minute before he could digest what had just happened and react.
lance abruptly said " who the hell gives you the guts?! " as the chair made its loud sound as it fell on the floor when lance stood up.that made the whole room fell on a dead silence for the second time the singers stop the music died down. even the utensils that used to give sounds when using was left unmoved every one froze and was surprised when they heard the young master of the smiths angrily shouted from his sit. all eyes lqnded to the culprit.
was soon as lance stood up and turned to see who had have such courage to do something like that to him. he was taken a a back because there stood a young lady who's height almost reach his chin. natural Ginger red hair, that's put in a messy bun. long thick lashes.eyes that seems to be always sleepy,pearl like skin with red chicks and a lips that so red that gives the vibe of lusciousness and deliciousness just having to look af it.
her above the knee length wine Colored dress hugs her in the right places and really compliment her pearl white skin. as lance eyes laid upon the young lady's sight his facial expression drastically change. it became so tender and loving that the first thing he did to her was cage her into his arms and spin her around not caring if all eyes where upon them.
of course no one will ever dare to do such act, except for this feisty stubborn daring woman in his arms. Love Garnet whites the pride of the whites clan. just like him she is also a sole heiress to her clans fortune. who's wealth can also match the smiths.
" hey! put me down! " garnet demanded as she cam see the whole room's focus is on them. when lance let go of her he just waved his hand signaling to continue whatever everyone's doing. then mathew lance personal assistant and bodyguard already prepared two seats neatly in a separate table for two next to the smiths family table.
the Smith's we're all used to lance having separate table so that he could have love garnet all to himself. but it was just when they have public events like this, but when it comes to a formal family dinner that's meant for the family members only the two shared table along with everyone else's.
" when did you came back? "
lance asked as he is filling love Garnet's plate with food the banquet serves.
" just this morning," she casually replied. " why didn't you gave me a.call so that i could come and picked you up personally? " he sounded like he was being rejected by her and deeply offended by her decision. but she just laughed at him trying to make him understand that she wanted to surprised him.they had chitchat half of the banquets program. then when the last performer exit it's time for the socializing phase.
everyone wanted to grow their connections, expand their ventures and network. where as lance stood with his hands in his pants pocket just stood behind love garnet who is currently entertaining herself with the finger bites sweets.
as the socialite's pass by the two they didn't let a good chance go, they would greet lance and try to think of something that would spark the man's interest so that they could have a conversation with him but to no vail the man didn't even pau attention to them not even acknowledging those who greets him.then mathew came with phone that he whispered something to lance. one government high ranking official stop his track in front of love garnet the man must be in his late forties his holding one glass of scotch in his right hand while hes other one was in his pocket.
" sometimes it makes me wonder what a young lady like you had to do to be able to wrap the young master of the smiths in your little pinkies "
he maliciously glared at love garnet who is enjoying herself a slice of cake not knowing that the man is talking to her.but when the man said
" you shouldn't be greedy with how gracious young master lance is letting you ride under his tail. learn to socialize and have him interact with others. it's such a waste that you wanted to keep him all for yourself. "
usually love garnet doesn't pay attention to this kind of person because for one sole fact that they didn't know who she was. but she had enough.so when the man is about to strike another word she beat him to it.
" ME?!? riding his tail??? garnet spoke with so much of effort to control her anger not to let it get the best of her.
" you're so funny mister alzur,why would i need to ride his tail???and what tail are you talking about???i don't see any.are you referring young master lance smith as an animal?"
the man was left speechless by her come backs.
" is that what you're pointing out???that the young master of the Smith's is some kind of an animal that has tail? for me to be able to ride on it as you see it? "
people starting to form a circle the man was so scared that he looks like a ghost. and couldn't find the right word to defend himself. just as he thought she was finished she heads towards lance smith who was still talking in the phone his back facing them love garnet pulled lance towards her direction he then immediately ended the call so that he could give her his full attention but to his surprise she pulled him back to where he left her just before he took the important call. then after a few steps she stops and he stop right behind her the man who was so arrogant was now as white as snow.
" what's wrong? '
lance asked love garnet in his ever loving tone.but the woman he asked didn't replied so he switch his gaze to the man she is staring but the man is so petrified that without even knowing he had peed himself in his spot.
" young master lance i---it was nothing and just a mere joke, i didn't know.thaf young miss here is going to take it to her heart. "
tried to explained and make an excuse at the same time.lance face become gloomier.it indicates that his running out of patience to deal.with his crap.
" you said you wanted him. so here is your chance. go and have a chitchat with him."
every one in the room was shocked that this woman can talk just like that as if she was just giving away some candies. who is she?! they gossip amongst themselves.
" and just to let you know mister alzur, i never wanted to ride this tail. you can have him all for yourself. i don't need him or anyone's help to build a connection. can't you see im just enjoying myself this piece of cake then you came and starts bubbling something that interrupts me? so here you have him yourself!"
she grabs lance and pushes him to the man who is in the corner that is pure white now.everyone knows that its unspoken rule to never initiate a physical contact with the young master of the smith all hell would lose. but seeing the scene unfold before them the woman was not afraid of death she is courting death again and again by just pushing the young master of smiths repeatedly.
every one fears for the vicious woman's life. but secretly wishing to see what kind of fate awaits her for what she have done.
never in one's life had encountered someone as daring and as bold as this woman who is she?! why does young master lance allowed her to do everything in her way? she kept pushing and pushing lance as is she is giving away some street food that everyone could have.
just as lance Smith was about to lose his temper she faced him. he was trying everything to control his own temper he didn't want to discouraged her with her attitude, even is she cause a huge mess he's willing to clean after her. all that matters is that she vent out everything she wanted to vent out, repeatedly she poke his chest. she may not say anything but he can see through her eyes that she is just making some fun. so he held her hands to stop her then the corner of her lips curled up. it was a small smile. right there and then he thug her close to him making her hug him.then he pulled her to his family table and excused themselves. and they didn't say anything about it william smith just nod his head he knew this grandson of his never enjoyed banquets. and he knew very well how busy this man is especially now that the love of his life had shown up on this especial occasion.
" hows your tour? " lance asked as they were being greeted by two rows of maids and butler Matthew opened the grand door for them.
" same old same old " she replied with her playful tone as she make herself home to the mansion she seated directly to the white pearl grand piano.she was about to reach her foot to take off the heels she's wearing but lance beat her to it as he kneel down and took it off for her the maid was fast enough to bring home slippers that were expensive enough to buy a ordinary mansion it was powder pink with diamond strap to put her foot fingers on lance especially ordered those for her and it has her name love on the right and garnet on the left. then he took the small stool matthew brought him to sit upon as he seated he put both her legs on his lap so that he could give her a foot massage.
and butler tony made a small cough all maids where being dispatch to clear the area and let the two have their own time.everyone is running back and forth cleaning the masters bedroom and preparing everything they didn't need to be told what lance wants every time love garnet is in the mansion. they knew for sure that this young mistress will be their future young madam for the young master never treated any woman as he treated this young mistress.
" stop it lance it doesn't suit you doing those "
