"Oh for the love of parties. This is the worst get together I have ever had to attend. Gloomy people,gloomier topics. I'm off to the dance floor."she said glaring at everyone. You see her glare is hypnotic in a way. Her nickname when we were younger was enchantress. Well,that no longer works on us, though it works on the weak minded. Imagine the shock when it didn't work on this merry crew.
No matter. The guys masked their shock and made their way to the dance floor. I sat down and looked at them and asked my self if it was worth it. I mean, these guys were all older than me by a few years,yet they are out there enjoying themselves like they have no cares. Maybe just this once I should follow suit. Maybe I should throw all care and caution to the wind and just enjoy what i have right now.
I was aware that Abe was watching me in a weird way. I didn't care. I did just what i wanted. I went and danced like there was no tomorrow.
-----------------
When we got to the club,we were welcomed by the smell of sweet alcohol,the sight of people letting loose on the dance floor and of Fleur being surrounded by guys. At first we thought that she was in trouble but we later found out that that wasn't the case. Picture how Alec flared up!
I don't know what his problem with Fleur really is. They are like a cat and dog. Always at each others necks,well, Alec at least. Fleur on the other hand doesn't really mind. So it's like punching a cotton wall. Huh,this guys are weird.
Of course finding her surrounded by guys wasn't any better. Surprisingly she didn't take any of his sh*t this time round. Fleur slammed his face into the table. Ok,shocker! I shouldn't be so shocked since last time but still,damn! Let me explain. Fleur is this thin legged,small armed kinda woman more on the lean side. Alec on the other hand has always worked out so his body is more buff and lanky compared to most guys. So, the image of her slamming his face is something close to appalling given their appearances.
Anyway,I think this time around Fleur is tired of the nonsense Alec is always giving. And now,enter Alec's girlfriend. Yeah,I've met her. Very cheery personality. A Lexi something. She questions Alec who leaves nothing for the hyenas and she's fuming mad. Turns out they know each other. And better yet,they are siblings. Apparently they grew up together and they treat Fleur as their little sister.
Oh Alec. What have you done to yourself? We spoke a little more ,yeah we did until Lexi said that she had wanted to dance. She glared at us for making such a gathering boring and went off to dance. The rest followed,except one.
Fleur. She is like a big existence. Never doing things according to the norm. Always defying the natural order of things,but she had piqued my interest. Her and her little family. I really wanted to discover their secrets
Why do you they have auras of moguls? Who are they? What's their story? Why does Fleur pique my interest? Why did she attend that banquet and which face is her own? The sister,the hacker, the subordinate, the friend. Just who is Fleur Hales?
I know getting all these answers will take time but yeah, I'm willing to wait.

Dance the night away
Live your life and stay young on the floor
That's exactly what I'm gonna do. My life is filled with ups and downs and it's only until a few minutes ago that I realised that the world's messed.
Dance the night away
Grab somebody and drink a little more
But,no matter how heavy the load of the world on my shoulder is, no matter how tough times get, I have my family and friends. Tomorrow, I might wake up with a headache but no problem. I'm happy and I'm relaxed. I'm gonna dance the night away.
Morning came faster than expected. Lucky enough,I was not drunk but the headache couldn't be escaped. Anyway, I awoke and made breakfast preparations. Knowing Rio,he will go round them all up like a good shepherd and then drive up to my house. Did I say house? I meant mansion. My safe house,well one of them, was huge. Yeah, it is. I rang up my secretary to bring the gifts as we always do every weekend.
As I showered, I heard the door bell. I turned off the shower and wrapped myself in a towel. Most homes are automated. I don't want my privacy to be invaded by AI.
I didn't know what I was thinking to answer the door in a towel but yeah,I did. Guess who was there?
