ARSINOE POV
The entire time that I was at the office I kept thinking of what happened the night before, was not sure that's what I want but I was sure enough that I would want to try and make things work with Leo. I left work early today, for some weird reasons i wanted to get home even though i was not sure what i was going to do, i knew was that for the first time i was so excited to get home. When i got home the first thing to ask was "Is Mr. Leo home?" Elsa who who came to great me at the door responded by saying "no madam< Mr. Leo left an hour after you left but he did leave this for you and said that we should hand this to you as soon soon as you get here" i took the envelop that she had handed to me and I immediately opened it. According to the letter he had an emergency trip and he will be back soon though he did not know when he will be coming back, he finished with saying that i will be in his mind while he is away. i was a bit disappointed because the reason as to why i came home that fast and early might have been to see him but he was not home anymore now i wondered as to why i am even here in the first place, and i should have just stayed back at the office and finish tomorrows work.
Its been two weeks since the last time i saw Leo, in all the time he has been away he tried calling but it was always a bad time so i cold not really speak to him at all. Today we have the annual ball and i have to attend, Leo could have gone with me but the fact that the public does not know that we are married i wonder how they would have reacted to that. With that said i will have to go by myself, even though such gathering are not my style . I remember having to attend such gatherings with Alexander, he always said that these are the way to make connections and to make sure you always maintain that high position and make sure you know who is you opponent. All i knew was that the possibility of Alex being there are not just high but they are so high that i will have to try all i can for our meeting to be as brief as possible. The media knows about my connection with Alex and some even had a bit to say about our secret affairs so us being on the same room might stair up some unwanted ramous which I would not like for Leo to hear about.
I arrived with Laura that evening and just like i expected, all cameras were on me so i tried to brush the thought by saying that maybe its the dress, after all it was a custom made designer dress, only three pieces were made and of course i hold the one piece and i was not even bothered to know who else had the rest. As we walked into the balls room all eyes were on me, something i am used to by now. A few prominent people did approach me with the idea of "connecting" i mean this is what people do here anyways, they connect. Being a malty trillionaire with businesses all over the nation and the world at large is a big deal to such people. you could se all the fakeness when the talk and their smiles. While people were making there connection the host of the event took the mic and called everyone to his attention. "Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great honor to have all of you here to this humble annual gathering where we not only make connection but to celebrate the friendship we have made in all these years" yes what he said was true make friendship fake friendship, "and now I would like to invite one of the most important guest to a little speech," before he even finished what he was saying all the lights turned to me before he said " put your hand together for non other than our World Business Queen" and every one turned to me.
With that said I had to walk to the stage, when the mic was handed to me I did not know what to say other than, "Mr. host, Allan Wilfred the Audacity that you have to call me out here unannounced is on top of all audacity,....." I know that came out cold but it is true but seeing that the audience thinks that I might behead him I decided to make it sound a bit of a joke. " If that was the case that is......." then I gave a short laugh before continuing.............." soon I was asked to open the dance and my dance partner was no one else than Alex, the good thing is that Leo was not around. He must have wanted for this for a long time, I could not say no since all eyes were on me so I agreed to the dance. As the dance continued more and more people joined but all eyes were o me "Are you scared that Leo might come in at this moment and find you in my arms? or do you just miss my touch?" his question were irrelevant the good thing is that now I can just leave the dance floor. as I was about to leave he grabbed my waist and placed his lips on mine and I was sure enough everyone's eyes were on us right now I pushed him away, all eyes were on me and to make it worse I saw a familiar face staring at us emerging from the crowd this could not be any worse that how it already looks like "LEO"
