Milan – Italy
Luxury Ballroom's
Angeline is glued to the many cameras that are ready to take pictures of every guest present at the event that she herself does not know.
"You want to embarrass me, huh ?". Angeline stared intently at Jacob as the car stopped in third place for a photo session
Silent
Jacob did not answer Angeline's statement just now.
"You clearly know I've been avoiding the final camera spot - this end after dealing with you, Jacob !". Said with annoyance
Jacob chuckled softly hearing that.
"You just have to keep me company here. Forget about those unimportant people". Jacob replied casually
"You–". Angeline's words hang when their car stops right on the red carpet
"Jacob...". Call him clear so Jacob does not take him out to meet the scattered camera lightning
"Calms down". Jacob convinced Angeline
Angeline continued to shake her head in a sign of not going down.
"Do you want me to carry it ?". Bargain with a thin smile
"Hishh, the offer that traps. Goddamnit". Angeline cursed the light - the light before Jacob made the master chuckle
Just about to curse Jacob, the door on the side of his seat was wide open indicating he was asked to come down immediately.
Suddenly Angeline's face pale if noticed more deeply. Lucky this time she was in a slightly thick makeup by Jacob's man earlier.
Czechoslovak... Czechk... Czechkk...
Many camera blitzs shot Jacob as he exited the car walking towards the right side of his car.
Czechoslovak...
Czechk...
"Come". Her hand-stretched voice helped Angeline out with a faint smile
While Angeline finally resigned, forced to accept Jacob's hand and automatically himself immediately into the spotlight of many cameras that night.
Angeline breathed out rough as her feet stepped on the red carpet perfectly.
Angeline's gaze focused on Jacob who had put on a flat face with sharp eyes as usual.
"Hopefully no news will be a major topic in Los Angeles later". Inner Angeline
Jacob brought Angeline to stand on the podium for a photo session of every invited guest present.
He had to smile in every position facing all the cameras.
"It's like a top celebrity alone there should be a photo session like this. I'm really not ready for all this, God". Angeline muttered that was upset but had to keep smiling
Jacob did not show his smile at all during the photo session.
At that place Angeline just followed the steps and words of Jacob alone. As of this moment Jacob linked Angeline's hand on his arm to look like a real couple.
Every step they took towards the big door was slow for Angeline especially all the cameras still continue to highlight them.
"Young master...". Greet all the men standing at the door, bowing their bodies to Jacob
Jacob did not return their greetings, he continued to step in carrying Angeline who was now increasingly fixated on seeing the many people inside.
"Besides taking me without telling me where it's going. Now you're also bringing me here without me knowing what this is ? What activities ?". Said Angeline who continued to follow the steps of the man beside her gracefully so as not to embarrass herself
Jacob didn't reply to Angeline as if he didn't hear any of it.
"Sir...". Someone said hello to Jacob, making Angeline turn her head to see the man
"He's here too ? Since when ? They are truly mysterious". Angeline muttered judging the two people she knew
"Miss...". Now the man greeted Angeline politely
Angeline smiled kindly to return the greeting.
"Mr Mike". Angeline said hello
Mike ? Yes, that man is Mike. Assistant as well as his right hand Jacob Xanders who had been in this place since when.
"Come, Miss. Gracelyn will take you to the VVIP seat". Mike's words let Angeline greet the woman mentioned by him
Angeline sees Jacob first. Jacob understood the meaning of the gaze nodding his head in permission.
"Stay with her until I come". Jacob's words were either addressed to Angeline or the same Gracelyn - similarly nodding his head
After making sure Angeline was really away from him, Jacob began to interact with people who immediately immediately immediately look for face with him.
"Mr Xanders. It's nice to meet you".
"It's an honor to be able to come face-to-face with the Business King".
Jacob simply listened to their greeting without replying with a base - stale like them.
"You really surprised everyone with rumors circulating in the virtual world today, sir". A man of Jonathan Xanders' age
"Even our daughters hysterically heard all the news that aired to foreign countries". The other man chuckled in response to his daughter's behavior
"Those people would not live without launching his writings about me, sir". Jacob replied casually making those who had laughed instantly silent
Not only all employees who know if a Jacob Xanders have a relaxed and calm talk indicates the man will issue an ultimatum if continued.
But everyone who flocked wanted to work together even want to make their daughter part of the Xanders family was very know how the man's attitude and reaction if he was going to detonate the bomb. That's why right now they're all quiet after Jacob makes a sound.
Mike smiled faintly at the people who had been busy looking for face with Jacob speechless a thousand languages.
"Truely a reliable sycophant, cihh". His mind was low on entrepreneurs - entrepreneurs
Jacob did not care about them, he began to walk followed by Mike who faithfully followed him.
"Maverick Group is here, Mike ?".
"There, even he came before you, sir". Answer Mike
"The Geraldiev Corporation ?". Ask Jacob again
Mike nodded his head in response to Jacob's question.
"Mr Kenzo represented the Maverick Group with his girlfriend, Mr". Mike explained
Jacob halted his steps after hearing the sentence that his assistant had uttered.
"Kenzo ?". Mike nodded his head
"Isn't it usually Aiden who represents every event their colleague hosts, Right ?".
Again Mike nodded his head slowly.
"Mr Aiden must return to London to work on the construction of the hospital we agreed to, sir". Obviously Mike without over - overrated
"Faster is better isn't it, Mike ?". Jacob's chuckles are meaningful
Mike who understood just chuckled softly.
"The Geraldiev Corporation ?". Now Jacob changed the topic to a different person
"Mr Aaron, who represents Geraldiev Corporation because Mr. Javier is absent, sir". He answered Jacob's question calmly
"Attrance present ? Cihh, it's not that she avoided meeting with me, is it ?". Jacob grinned in response to Mike's explanation just now
"Looks like. Mr. Javier must have found out in advance who are the guests present at his business colleague's event this time".
"Still not daring to face Angeline apparently. Cihh". Jacob said cynically
Mike just kept quiet no more responding.
Likewise with Jacob, his steps continue to go to a place where it has been filled by two different-sex humans who are spreading intimacy.
"Kenzo Gabriel Maverick...". Sapa Jacob patted the man's shoulder
The man he was touching turned his head to look at Jacob and smiled faintly.
Degs...
The woman beside Kenzo rounded her eyes to look at Jacob.
"They know each other ?". His mind asked - asked
"You're here too, Dude ?". Ask a base - stale
"As you can see. I'm standing in front of you, Ken". Answer Jacob
Kenzo laughed softly in response to Jacob's words. As usual Jacob Xanders, the least able to get along with anyone.
"You're right, Dude. How are you, Jac ?". Ask Kenzo again and let Jacob sit down
"Oh I forgot. Meet, Jac. This is Jennifer my lover". Kenzo introduced his girlfriend casually to Jacob and Mike
Jacob stared intently at the woman as if he knew something about Jennifer. Likewise with Mike who showed his unfriendly face to the woman.
"And Jennifer, it's Jacob. My cousin. Behind him is Mike, Jacob's personal assistant". Kenzo continued to introduce Jacob and Mike
Jennifer was surprised to hear the word cousin Kenzo said. The look on his face was suddenly uncomfortable with Jacob's sharp gaze.
"I'll excuse you to go to the toilet first, Ken. You can continue chatting with your cousin". He tried to avoid Jacob's gaze for a while
Kenzo is unaware of the change in reaction that her lover is showing just nodding his head letting Jennifer go.
After Jennifer's departure, Kenzo continued her conversations with Jacob about their current business.
Until Jacob's eyes focused on one point, Angeline...
Yes, the woman was currently standing waiting in front of the mini bar all by herself.
"I heard you've been trending over the last few weeks. Is that really Jac....". Kenzo kept talking but was ignored by Jacob
Jacob's current focus is only on Angeline who is now talking to several women and men while laughing.
"It was only a few minutes that I was away from him that I had a conversation partner somewhere foreign to him". Jacob muttered
"Jacob...". Kenzo's call resuscitated Jacob from his sight
"Yes". That's all that came out of his mouth
"Are you okay, Jac ?". Kenzo makes sure his eyesight unintentionally follows Jacob's previous line of sight
Jacob nodded his head then stood up to tidy up his suit.
"Continue your conversation with Mike. He's the one who's gonna represent me answering all your questions, Ken". His words passed without regard to the questioning gaze of his cousin
Kenzo shook his head feeling this was the first time Jacob had focused on women.
"Did he have been like that before, Mike ?". Kenzo's Chuckles
Mike shook his head in response.
"Only Miss Angeline made it that way, sir". Mike answered honestly
Kenzo nodded his head in response to Mike's words.
The two of them began to talk about the development of the project they were running together.
Jacob was almost nearing the position where Angeline was at the moment.
Sayup - sayup himself can hear their conversation.
"Oh yeah, we haven't had a chance to get acquainted, pretty lady".
Angeline smiled hearing that and then started to introduce herself.
"Angeline Arberto's...". He said as he reached out to the three of them in turn
"Hi, An. My name is Margaret Heston. My parents had a lot of culinary business in some countries". A woman heard him bragging
"My name is Tiffany Angelica. His future wife Antonino Gustavo. Our names are almost similar huh, An". Say another woman while hugging Angeline warmly
This time there was no hint of arrogance behind the second woman's self-introduction. Very different from the first.
"I'm Antonino. The woman next to you, An". The man's chuckle sounded friendly to Angeline who had only met her for the first time
"Oh yeah, by the way who are you here with ? This event can only be attended by famous entrepreneurs. Are you one of the daughters of a businessman here ? Or do you have a lover who's a businessman too, An ?". Tiffany asked him
Angeline silently gave no answer, smiling wryly at the question.
"To be honest, I also asked. Who am I to get in here ? Entrepreneurs are not, lovers of entrepreneurs are not. Huft". Mumbled
"An...". Call Tiffany to wake Angeline from her world
"E—ehhh". Angeline was nervous
"Or are you one of those entrepreneurs, An ? Considering you're from Los Angeles. Where the country becomes the highest business market". Find the guy named Antonino
"I'm just a doctor. You guys think I'm a businessman too far". Angeline laughed in response to the statements of the three people before her
They were stunned to hear Angeline's words.
"Ahh, I know. That means your girlfriend is a guest on this show, isn't she ?". Margareth
Angeline shook her head.
"Your father ?".
"Your sister ?".
Again Angeline shook her head.
"Or your husband ?".
Just about to shake his head again, the baritone voice of a man stopped them.
"Ruby...". Call the man while pulling Angeline's waist up so she can hug him
The three people who were busy questioning Angeline suddenly rounded their eyes to see who the man standing before them was.
"Jacob Xanders ?". They muttered simultaneously
Who does not know the man, his figure is greatly admired by all circles because of his success which is not at all tied to his family's big name.
"You're always breaking my word, Ruby". Jacob sounded unfriendly
Angeline lowered her head knowing exactly what Jacob was saying.
"Not beg—".
"We finish later". Cut Jacob out quickly
Angeline just nodded her head not looking at anyone.
"Tu—an Jacob". Sapa Antonino first came face to face with Jacob of course made him nervous
Jacob nodded his head increasingly to grip Angeline's waist tightly.
"We'll excuse". The words took Angeline away leaving the three
They were glued to Jacob's voice and glare as if hypnotizing everyone.
"Jeez, it turns out he's Jacob Xanders' girlfriend".
"I don't think I'm a stranger to his face. Turns out he was...".
Margaret and Tiffany were still shocked by what they saw.
Meanwhile, Jacob takes Angeline into the VVIP room that has been occupied by the chosen people of the event owner.
Just a few seconds into it, Angeline immediately gulped down a glass of drink.
"Hishhh, why is it so sour". He said commenting on the drink that first entered his throat
Jacob shook his head at Angeline's chattering.
A minute later Angeline was like a hot person continuously shaking her hand.
"Jac - Jac...". I don't know what's wrong with her body so Angeline looks like she's messing around
"Hey, what's up ?". Jacob seemed to realize Angeline's strangeness
"Hot... Oh Jac...". Angeline increasingly showed a strange gurgle to make Jacob exasperated
"Damn it ! Who the Barani did all this". The meaning is to take Angeline away from this place
"Jacob what's wrong with my body ? Why is it so hot ?". Angeline asked on the sidelines - between her consciousness
Mike sees Jacob coming out of the room immediately running after Jacob who is seen trying to deal with Angeline.
"Something's going on, sir ?". Ask
"You get everything done, Mike ! Tomorrow morning should be in my room !". Jacob continued to walk to the hotel's basement without answering Mike's question
"Tell Mr. Reynald I can't see him because of Angeline's current condition. You're deputizing me, Mike !". Say it before getting in the car
Mike who doesn't know what's going on with Angeline just nods his head at Jacob's orders.
"Something seems to be deliberately trying to trap you, Master". He quickly realized Angeline's actions
While Jacob at full speed drove the car while holding Angeline's hand so as not to undress.
"Ck, Goddamnit ! Someone wants to play with me it turns out !". Mumbled
"I won't forgive anyone. How dare you play with me !". The connection continued to mutter with an indecipherable look of the eyes
Forget it for a moment, Jacob continued to drive his car to get to the hotel they were staying at to deal with Angeline immediately.
He did not even have time to say hello to Aaron Geraldiev, cousin of his daddy.
