"What are you doing here, you seem alone. Want me to accompany you?"
'This jerk!' Before I could answer him someone called my name "Aviazela, honey!" I turned and was surprised to see Jayden. 'Oh here's come another one'. He grabs my waist and pulls me closer to him until I can smell his cologne before kissing my forehead. I was stunned by his action 'Is he for real?!' before continuing "Sorry, I'm late, I miss you so much..." At that moment I realize everyone was staring at us.
"Aww...I miss you too" I play along with it. From the corner of my eyes. I can see Alex was already disgusted by us. He then greet Jayden and give his hand for a hand shake. "Mr. Walsh, it's good to see you here.."
"But I hope not to see you often Mr Bryne" Jayden did not return the handshake and walk drag me walk passed him.
"Why are you suddenly show up here? Didn't you say you'll not come?"
"Didn't you glad to see me honey?" he teased me.
"Since when did you started call me honey huh?" I push his forehead with my index finger before walks away.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the new founder of StyleRight Co., Mr and Mrs Wilfred" the master of ceremony drag everything attention towards them.
"Hello everyone, I hope everyone enjoying the evening. Since my brother pass away, I always took a good care of the company. I thanked my niece for giving all the share to me and Ivy."
'LIAR!' I clench my fingers looking directly at them. I will make sure to take back what is mine. After everything they do to me, they do not deserve to be there. "Wait!" I shouted. They seem to be surprised to see me. I also seem to grab everyone's attention including the reporters.
I make my way up to the stage confidently and put a smile on my face. "May I uncle?" I look at Reece Wilfred signaling him to give me the microphone.
"I am sorry for interrupting you uncle, I just want to surprise all of you.." I look at all of them on the stage before continue "May I introduce myself, I am Aviazela Wilfred but now I'm married and I am a Walsh, the only daughter of George and Mia Wilfred. Hey love!" I wave at Jayden.
"As said by my uncle just now, I am the one that allow them to take care of the company because I am not ready yet. Here I want to congratulate Ivy for becoming the new CEO. Cheers girl! Ivy, please take a good care of the company when it's still yours cause one day I'll take it back. Cheers!"
Everyone in the room claps as I ended my speech. I glance at Ivy, she look unpleasant by everything that I said but it is sure give her a slap in the face and I am very satisfied with it. Everyone then make there way down the stage.
Jayden catch my arm "What are you doing..?" he seem like he did not not expect that I'll do it.
"Can't you see? I congratulate her?"
"Hey cousin, didn't expect you to be here.." Ivy suddenly approach me.
"Surprised I guess? Excuse me, I need to grab a drink" I fake a chuckle and glance at Jayden.
I can feel it that Ivy follow me from behind. I pick a drink from the nearest table and turn around when suddenly "Splash!" 'What the hell!' The wine is all over my dress.
"Offt I'm so sorry cousin, I didn't mean to..." she put the devil smile on her face.
Jayden move hurriedly towards me "You okay?"
"I need to go to the toilet..." he then nob at me.
*****
*In the toilet*
I try to sprinkle some water on the wine's stain but it is sure are hopeless. 'Damn you Ivy!'. I look at myself in the mirror. I am now a mess. Ivy suddenly burst in and lock the toilet door.
"What is your problem?!"
"What is my problem..? Are you seriously asking me now?"
"I'm warning you, don't you dare mess up with me or I will make you regret it!" she push me towards the wall. This woman, she is really challenging me, with all energy that I had I push her hard "Bam!" she fall hard beside one of the toilet bowl there. "Damn you Zela!" she groan in pain.
"Ivy, remember that you are the one who make me go against you!" I unlocked the toilet door and walk out.
"What took you so long?" Jayden suddenly approach me from behind. 'This guy could really give me a heart attack'.
"Let's go!"
"Where?" he asked.
"Home? Or unless you wanna stay?" annoyed by his question.
