In the darkness of the night, staring at the bright stars with his lonely eyes.
He leaned on the boundary of the roof of the HT19 building, his eyes glinted not from the reflection of the moon but from the far away picturesque of a girl stepping inside the foyer walking pass the red carpet outside, charming others eyes.
"What are you looking at so keenly? Your small brothers are enjoying the party inside, aren't you missing them?" said a man as he approached him from behind.
Trimmed black hair and a pair of almonds eyes, he looked smart holding a glass of red wine in his hand.
He stood next to him while maintaining a certain distance from Ed as he talked about the twins.
Ed looked to the right and frowned before looking back at the ground floor from the fifty-floor building.
"What is the birthday boy doing here?" he asked in a mocking tone.
Luv Serta the youngest son of the vice president of the Finance V company. He is the nemesis of Ed but keeps a fair competition.
Though he has no idea what's the reason of Ed disorder, he keeps a safe distance from him in case he might harm him physically.
Luv looked at him with a chuckle and shrugged his shoulder, "You are not inside, so its boring. I simply came to take a look and irritate you, that's all".
"Stop wasting your time and leave, my mood is already bad, I might punch you a few times". Ed smiled as he said while showing his fist wearing black gloves.
Luv turned around and leaned his back on the boundary while looking up at the sky, "There is this friend who disappeared with a few words. I tried looking for him secretly but found nothing and now this party feels boring".
"Still, I will irritate you less considering that you came to my birthday when you hate crowds".
Ed looked at his sad eyes and stared at the stars, who were shining brightly and alone.
He didn't care about whom Luv was talking about but the real reason to attend the party was because the researchers and the experimented child will pass from nearby and he was keeping a vigilant watch to catch them and this hotel was the best place to secretly keep an eye.
…
"Who is that beauty?"
"She looks dashing!"
"Should I try escorting her? maybe I can have a chance to dance with her"
"From which family does this young lady belongs to?".
…
As soon as Cynthia walked inside the hall where the party was going on, she become the centre of attention and started to hear many compliments behind her back.
This was the first time she was attending such a big and lavish party but she felt irritated because of others continuous stare.
Whether she becomes ugly or remains a beauty, others will not stop staring her. It was as if they don't have any other business.
She sneered as she was having a hard time at recognizing these new faces without her spectacles but at least before stepping inside, she had google searched the young lord image to quickly congratulate him and leave without wasting her time.
Amongst the crowd, she saw four familiar faces. Two of which were of the twins she met the first day of her college whereas two were belonged to her cousin and her friend.
She was kind of glad that they were yet to see her and so, she turned around and walked a bit away from them.
And then she heard some other gossips that was annoying but she ignored it.
"I heard that the Cress family is going to send their ugly daughter here… hehe.. are they trying to scare us?"
"But I can't wait to see how ugly does she look to hide herself in her mama's pillow".
…
These annoying compliments were mixed together with the envious compliment toward this mysterious and charming girl.
What an irony!
She ignored them and dodged her suitors who were after her while at the same time finding Mr. Serta to quickly finish her work.
No one in the party recognized her neither she thought of introducing herself but the necklace and wrist watch in her hand was quite recognizable.
It belonged to the Cress family and was really expensive.
It was the piece Mrs. Cress made for her daughter specially and it never came out in the market.
As she continuously looked around, someone from behind grabbed her hand and lifted it up roughly, "From where did you get this fake one? Such design was never in the market!" a really aloof voice mocked her from behind.
And she turned back to have a look at that accusing mouth only to feel startled at that lady whose body was decorated with Cress family jewels from head to toe.
