It's Saturday morning now. The event will start at six o'clock in the evening.
It's only twelve o'clock at noon and my dress that I'll be wearing later is already ready. It's not that obvious that I'm too excited, is it? I laughed to myself. But there's something on my part that is restless as if something strange will happen later? or maybe I'm just imagining things because of the extreme excitement that I'm feeling. Sometimes I just don't really understand myself. I lay down on the bed and soon I did not realize that I fell asleep.
Three o'clock when I woke up, I immediately got up to get ready. In less than an hour, I'm already good to go. I didn't put any more lipstick on my face because apart from the fact that I don't know, I also don't have make-up. I glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and saw that it was only four o'clock. I was hesitant to leave because I was feeling too early, so I grabbed a book first to pass the time
I was so interested in reading that when I glanced at the clock again it was about to strike five o'clock. I quickly got up and adjusted my clothes, once again I glanced at myself in the mirror before I left the house.
The event will be held at a well-known hotel. Owned by a friend of our boss. The time was already 5:30 when I arrived at the hotel. There are still very few people I see. I looked around and there was only one thing I could say, "WOW". As in, very very nice arrangement. Obviously, this event was well spent. I can't believe I'm a "guest" here right now and not a waitress.
I looked around and felt ashamed of what I was wearing. I was wearing a very simple dress compared to their fancy and beautiful dresses. I just ignored it because I'm not here for the gowns or whatever. I am here to experience something new.
Someone's POV
"Is everything ready?" someone asked on the other line.
"Yes, boss. Everything is okay. We'll just waiting for the right time."
"Good. You all need to make sure there's no one who'll interrupt with the transaction."
"Copy, Sir."

Angel's POV
God. I am so amazed at what my eyes are seeing right now. This party is really awesome. I feel out of place.
I walk around, appreciating the beauty of the place. When I didn't notice that I was going to bump with someone, it was too late to avoid it because we had already collided. The wine glass she was carrying filled my white dress.
"Look what you did to my gown! Do you know how much it is? Gosh! Why are you so dumb?" she said angrily while wiping her dress that there was almost no drop of wine because all the contents of her wine glass went to me.
Most are already looking at us. I was teary-eyed with embarrassment and I was also feeling sticky because of the drink spilled on my clothes.
"I'm sorry ma'am. I'm sorry." I reached for the table napkin placed on a table and was about to wipe her clothes when she suddenly pushed me hard causing me to fall to the floor.
"Don't you dare touch me! Aarrghhh!! You bitch! You'll pay for this!" When she said that, she immediately turned away.
I looked around and almost all of them were looking at me and whispering.
Out of embarrassment, I ran out. I'm already in tears, I also don't know why my tears are so shallow. I was looking for a powder room while still crying but I didn't find a powder room instead a parking lot. Suddenly my tears stopped flowing and then I looked around. I shuddered because of the silence.
I kept walking, hoping to see a powder room. I could see from where I was standing that there were men in tuxedos, I walk near them quietly, and then I heard that they were talking. I moved a little closer to hear what they were talking about.
"Put that attache case down," one ordered.
I wondered what they were doing so I peeked a look at what was going on. I didn't understand what they were talking about so I was about to leave when I got curious as to what was in that "attache case" the man was referring to.
I was shocked because when I peeked, I saw masked men holding large guns. I was immediately taken aback by what I saw, I was stunned for a moment until I heard a police siren.
My chest was throbbing with nervousness. I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard the police siren, thinking that nothing bad would happen to me anymore. I was about to leave when I heard gunshots and footsteps. Because of what I heard, I sat on the floor and closed my eyes tightly, and then covered my ears. I muttered a prayer and called all the saints I knew just to save me and nothing bad will happen.
After a few seconds, I sensed peace. I felt the surroundings before I opened my eyes. I looked around and when I could no longer see anyone else I stood up. I could feel the trembling of my legs so I held against the wall for support. But... wait, why does it feel like another wall in my palm? Gradually I lifted my gaze to the "wall" and when I saw a tall man wearing a mask I turned away like nothing happened. I'm sure it was one of those guys fighting before! I was about to leave when I felt something hard and cold in my head. My whole body stiffened in my stance. I would have dared to look around but before I could do that he pressed the thing to my head.
"Move, then you'll die."
Last thing I heard before I felt something hard hit my head, and everything went black.
