At the party, everyone was there. A different kind of noble and wealthy people with great family backgrounds and different kinds of celebrities were all present.
Rosalina stepped out of her car as it was opened for her by the chauffeur. She met with the media, and they all rushed to her with their cameras and microphones.
She walked to the carpet and waved to all her fans. The screaming was too much as everyone was so happy to see her. She had more fans than she had imagined.
She smiled beautifully and waved at them while the flashes of the cameras continued.
"Rosalina, Rosalina," one of her fans in the crowd continued screaming her name happily, while other fans joined and took pictures of her and a video.
Rosalina smiled while she collected a microphone that was stretched to her.
She cleared her voice before speaking. She greeted her fans and thanked them for their support. She joked around with them and took a last picture before walking into the hotel and meeting with a lot of guests. Some were standing in groups while chatting and laughing while others were sitting and chatting.
Tae Yeon and Irene were talking and laughing with Selena, who was their old friend from high school. Selena left the country after their high school graduation to study abroad, and since then, they lost contact. But the day was a wonderful day for meeting again on an occasion like this.
The three friends were happy and engrossed in their conversation, not realizing Rosalina was watching them from afar while she talking to some of her guests.
Tae Yeon was quick to notice the gaze as she traced it with her eyes and made eye contact with Rosalina. Tae Yeon was surprised to see Rosalina, while Irene noticed Tae Yeon wasn't paying attention to them again and traced the direction to where she was looking, meeting eyes with Rosalina, who smirked at them and looked away.
"What's that bitch doing here?" Irene said coldly, turning to Tae Yeon, who shrugged her shoulders.
"Of course, she will be here, now that she is popular. She must be feeling herself. What a shameless bitch," Tae Yeon said irritatingly, while Selena looked in the direction where Rosalina was smiling and talking to a foreign white man who was chatting with her as if they had known each other for a long time.
"Do you guys know that slut?" Selena asked irritably while Irene and Tae Yeon looked at Selena in shock.
"Don't tell me you know her too? Yeah, she's trending nowadays, but in our view, she is a slut and a bitch who is nothing but climbing the bed to get to where she is today," Irene said, asking Selena if she also hated and knew Rosalina so well.
"Are you guys crazy? Haven't you watched the film yet? Is the top one trending now? I was the female support in the drama, and of course, we worked together because she was the female lead," Selena said and rolled her eyes annoyingly.
"Oh yeah, my mind slipped that. I wanted to ask you about it. How was it with her? I mean, how did you cope working with that bitch?" Tae Yeon asked with irritation in her voice and look.
"Of course, the worst experience ever. That bitch is not only annoying but flirts with all men on set, especially the male lead in the film. Forget it, I don't want to talk about my experience with that bitch. I don't want to have another nightmare of seeing her ugly face in my sleep again," Selena said, rolling her eyes, while Irene and Tae Yeon laughed at their friend's funny, irritating look.
"She is also Tae Yeon's stepsister," Irene said sarcastically, causing Selena to widen her eyes in surprise and turn her look at Tae Yeon, who just rolled her eyes and scoffed.
"What! Yuck," Selena said, in an American accent, causing Irene to chuckle.
"She is no longer my stepsister because she is a bastard and not part of my family anymore," Tae Yeon said sternly.
"I can't believe she was your stepsister. Gosh, Tae Yeon, your sister is a bitch," Selena said mockingly, while the three of them laughed, not noticing Rosalina was right behind them.
"But you just heard her say, I'm not her sister," the three friends heard Rosalina say behind them. The three turned to look at her, standing with a soft smile on her face.
Tae Yeon sneered and smirked irritatingly, "And who gives you the right to butt in our conversation," Tae Yeon said coldly.
"Phew, you have always been a rude brat since childhood. I never considered you my sister before and never will, and oh yeah, I'm not part of the family since that man who I thought was my father wasn't even my biological father. Anyway, I just came to say hi, not to you but to her," Rosalina said, eyeing Selena, who snorted coldly at her.
"Oh yeah, of course, you're the bastard who does not even know who her father is. Too bad your mom died without cleaning the mess she caused. Like mother, like daughter," Tae Yeon said irritably, causing Rosalina's eyes to darken, and her face became cold.
"Don't you dare even mention my mom? Be thankful I don't want to spoil my day. This is my party, behave, or I will get you dragged out like the dog you are," Rosalina said angrily, causing the three girls to laugh at her as if she had said something funny.
"Your party? Don't tell me you have climbed the CEO, who is yet to reveal himself and has the power to drag us out, or maybe your sugar daddy is here, who is rich and powerful enough to drag me out?" Tae Yeon said in the most irritating voice, causing Irene and Selena to mock and laugh along.
"I'm not a bitch and a gold digger like you, as your mom has brought you up," Rosalina said and smirked, walking away and leaving the three friends who watched her leave with their mouths open.
"What does she think of herself? Drag me out? Like she has the power...haha, what a funny bitch," Tae Yeon said and scoffed. Just then the party started, and the MC cleared his voice with the microphone to seek the guests' attention, causing everyone in the hall to turn their attention to the stage. The MC began to speak by greeting everyone and explaining the purpose of everyone present that day.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Tang Sung Min, the MC of today's event. Before I proceed to our main purpose today, I would first like to give a thanksgiving speech to all our special guests. We are privileged to have you among us today, and we thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to extend your support. Your esteemed presence has indeed glorified this event and added vibrancy to our humble gathering. It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you all to this special event. We are truly honored by your presence today, and we are thrilled to have you share this momentous occasion with us.
As an anchor, my task is to guide you all through this event, ensuring it's memorable for everyone involved. But before we dive into the agenda, I'd like to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to our CEO, who has gathered me and everyone here today." The MC paused before continuing, making sure everyone was paying attention.
"Our CEO today, whom we never heard of or know her identity as the owner of the Royal Land Hotel, is none other than our superstar Mrs. Lee Yoona, who we all know as actress Rosalina. Our beautiful, talented goddess. I know you must all be wondering how and why I have called her Mrs Lee Yoona. She is also the daughter-in-law of the Lee family. From the story of how the hotel was built, I learned she was still a university student back then. As we all learned she studied abroad, which means she has set a successful future before she graduated from university. What an intelligent woman she is, right? Please let's welcome her humbly to the stage to show and give a speech to her guests today." The MC said, while everyone clapped and was surprised at the same time because no one expected a woman to own such a big, popular hotel, and the most shocking news was she is a daughter-in-law of the Lee family. No one expected that.
Rosalina walked up to the stage, putting on a smile, though she was feeling angry at that moment.
"What did this MC just say? The Lee daughter-in-law? Who told him that," she thought angrily, while she walked next to the MC, bowed to the guests, took the microphone, and spoke.
Rosalina gave a warm thanksgiving as the CEO to the audience, showing her sincere gratitude while everyone clapped and admired her. She stepped off the stage while all eyes were on her, just as usual, but the stares were so much that she felt uncomfortable, just as some people were screaming, and everyone turned their attention to the direction where the noise was coming from.
To everyone's surprise, Lee Gu Won was present, his cold face, handsome, tall, and hot. He was walking toward Rosalina. His presence brought an aura of dignity, power, and coldness to the proceedings.
Everyone was in shock and surprise, wondering why he was at the event and why he was walking toward the CEO of the hotel, who had just revealed herself, who was a famous actress.
Rosalina was also shocked and surprised, not knowing how to react until Gu Won walked closer to her with a smirk.
Rosalina shot him a hateful glare, while Gu Won extended his mouth closer to Rosalina's ear and softly said to her, causing a tingling sensation throughout her body, "Aren't you happy to see your husband, my dear wifey?"
"Hello, here," a middle-aged man said, causing Gu Won and Rosalina to turn their attention to the man.
