THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Part 35's. New Partner 1
I saw Andrew chatting with a lot of people as usual. I went back and forth to greet him but was afraid that he would be disturbed.
Don't be Monica's coward! Where's the confidence you've always been proud of. If you ask to be his partner on this show, you can't you better go home and just sit at home.
I put myself forward in front of him.
"Andrew, that,..." He sees me as usual.
"Monics. You're replacing Eliza. I got a call from him."
"Yes, I'm a bit unfamiliar with the guests here. Can I come with you."
"Of course." The easy reception makes me smile now.
I dressed up pretty today, even I borrowed Eliza's formal dress for this. Eliza style always with elegant neat lines, dark colors, monochrome otherwise she wears white or blue. He's very anti peach color that I love with all my heart or colorful crowded motifs. I feel pale with this monochrome color shirt.
"You look different today?"
"Ehm you mean." I had a big head he wanted to praise me pretty, but that's not what happened.
"You used to wear colorful, something nice in color, wear gray and black today?" Turns out he realized it. I don't want to grimace wide.
"I borrowed Eliza's clothes, I'm afraid my clothes are considered incompatible with this event." I'm being honest with her, my favorite colors might not be the ones that are appropriate for an official event like this.
"Yes fine." I followed him greeting people, usually Eliza who is doing this now me. And it was nice to get compliments from people about my beauty of course when I was introduced as Eliza's sister, but then again, Andrew himself never saw me out of the ordinary. Maybe he used to see me from my little one, nothing special or surprising.
"This time I feel like I'm walking next to a royal princess or some kind of mass universe. There are so many people who are fascinated by you." He's smiling at me now. I got so scared it was insinuation that I took the spotlight off him.
"Is my presence a little disturbing?"
"No. Only I'm not used to getting a lot of attention and questions today when bringing a princess like you." I'm laughing a little.
"Eliza will probably start handing these events to me. He's gonna focus on our business in DC."
"Yes I hear it, it's okay I'll always be here. Our job is to bring people together, make them feel welcome. We cannot make decisions like seniors, but if there is a request we will hear and deliver. Because you're a business man, Albert's gonna tell you if he wants you to invite someone or find out something."
I nodded and listened as he explained this. Eliza also explains more or less the same thing I heard from Andrew.
"Yes I get it, if I'm wrong tell me okay."
"Of course." Looking into my eyes, his eyes were on someone. "It turns out he's coming. I didn't see him." I followed his eyes. And soon I knew who he meant.
"Anna Winslow?" The blonde-assisted Alexsey girl seemed to be waiting for her Master who did not come. The flaming red lipstick and the red dress, she made the person looking for her be able to recognize her from hundreds of meters away.
"I want to talk to him. You wait here okay." He flew as fast as his words left.
