Stella Cruze spotted Margret just at where they left her scanning rowdy but good-natured crowd of business partners as if she was looking for someone.
She then walked towards her and stopped right beside her. "Hey." She said softly causing Margret to turn to her."Hi" Margret nodded with a faint smile then continued, "You weren't long though"
Stella gave her a sharp nod and rolled her eyes. "That's cause the talk was extremely boring."She said, flipping her cute curtain bangs over with annoyance.
Margret chuckled slightly. "Aw, that's business for you cutie "
Stella Cruze frowned upon hearing the word 'cutie'
"Huh? Don't call me that Maggie. We've talked about how much I hate that name.We both know I'm not a cutie " Stella pouted unknowingly causing Margret to chuckle.
"Okay, okay. Just don't pout."She said and Stella rolled her eyes.
Margret began looking through the crowd as if she was looking for someone. She was, actually.And Stella Cruze knew who it exactly was.
"Someone called for him."She simply stated.
Margret knew who she was referring to but asked "Huh?", anyway.
"Just drop the act."Stella rolled her eyes and Margret blushed faintly. " What the hell are you talking about?" She asked.
"Someone called for Mr Aaron so he left."Stella said,her brown eyes looking right at Margret.
Margret cleared her throat. "Y–yeah."She let out an awkward chuckle and Stella rolled her eyes.
"So you just met him and you're head over heels in love with him.Are you okay?! Is that even possible?! "Stella found herself inquiring.
She already wanted to ask this from the moment she saw a wild blush on Margaret's face but, Aaron was there and she ' didn't ' want to embarrass her friend.
"Hey! I never said I like him.Plus, I just found him so hot. And, have you ever heard about love at first sight?"Margret flung her red wavy hair.
"Yeah, whatever. We both know love at first sight doesn't exist."Stella Cruze rolled her eyes.
"Uh-huh, in your world love isn't even a thing."Margret stated the fact.
"Thank you."Stella grinned and Margret shook her head slightly. She wondered if her friend would ever find love.
The boring party suddenly looked a bit entertaining as the business partners were dancing and the DJ was playing rock music.Margret ,who seemed to enjoy the music begun nodding her head and swaying her hips slightly in a particular rhythm causing Stella to scoff.
"Are you in a club?"she asked and Margret rolled her eyes. "It's a business party not Gang, the club"She added.
Margaret turned deaf ears to what Stella said and closed her eyes as she danced.
"Cool moves"A familiar voice snapped Margaret back to reality. With a blush crawling on chicks, Margaret lowered her gaze.
She let out an awkward chuckle and Aaron smirked. "Thanks."she mumbled.
"Wanna dance?"He asked , for his piecing green eyes burning her skin.
"Sure."she said softly.
"You know what,you two can leave "Stella said and flipped her bangs from her face since they almost entered her eyes. She was starting to cringe.
Aaron stretched out his hand and she place her hand in his as they left.
Stella then exhaled. She picked up one glass of champagne from the server but before the server could leave she heard a familiar sonorous voice ask the server to wait and she turned to see Apollo Dunn picking up a glass from the server's tray.
"Hi Miss Cruze."He greeted.
Stella was cought of guard as she stared at him in his tuxedo.His dark hair which normally covered one of his eye was slicked back , uncloaking his features clearly and his hazel eyes sent shievers through her spine.
She had already seen him today, but not this close, not directly in front of her.
Apollo smirked.
The first step of his 'mission' was to cease the opportunity to know her more and most importantly, check whether making her fall for him would be easy. And,yes.The look on her face said almost everything.From the hue pink color on her chicks to her parted full lips,yet he found her cute with this expression.
As said before, Stella Cruze is an all in one.
"Miss Cruze?"Apollo Dunn broke the awkward silence.
Stella cleared her throat, regaining her composure. "Just when I thought I could return home without even talking to you"She rolled her eyes.
Apollo smirked. "Just when I thought I would never see your super power ever again. Thanks for showing it by the way."
Stella scoffed before groaning."I do not have a super power,Mr Dunn."She said.
"I don't think so."Apollo grinned.
"Whatever, Let's not talk about a super power which does not exist."She said. "Okay.If you say so."Apollo sipped his champagne.
"Why are you even talking to me and why I'm I even answering your dumb questions?"Stella rolled her eyes.
"It's simple."Apollo said.
Stella Cruze turned to him.
"It's because you like to be around me,"Apollo moved a step closer to her and held her chin so she was looking right into his eyes. "I make you posses a power you didn't know you are capable of."Apollo's voice was a mere whisper and his closeness made her heart race.A feeling she couldn't comprehend.
She felt angered by his guts to hold her chin but she also felt a feeling she couldn't even explain.
He let go of her chin and smirked. "But I don't blame you.Every girl blushes around me "Apollo winked and Stella frowned.
"Look. I don't like you cause love isn't on my league."Stella said. "That's good, I don't fall in love either."Apollo said.
"But,who mentioned love here?" He turned to her. "Huh?" Stella's lip parted as she felt uncomfortable under his piecing gaze. "I said you 'like' me not 'love' me."He said, emphasizing on both ' like ' and ' love '.
"Whatever Apollo."She said, a faint blush on her chicks.
Apollo smirked.
"I don't have time to waste on you."She said and walked pass him.
Stella was exhaling when she felt a hand pull her back.Next thing she knew, she was looking into Apollo's hazel eyes as he held her arms.
"What's the rush,Miss Cruze?"
