After Party

The distinguished guests were the first to be received in the second hall, where the after party was being held. Followed by the awardees then the other guests. The guests were first served with wine as they conversed with one another. The whole concept of the after party is to form a network between other guests. Especially those in the Entertainment industry. It is said that knowing someone in the industry is as important as winning an award.

“Miss MacCauley.” Brielle turned her back to the voice that had just called her. It was none other than the main character in the Entertainment industry.

“Mr Valdez.” Her excitement could be made in her voice yet she composed herself on the outside.

Mr Matteo Valdez, the former president of New Height Entertainment Industry, also the president of NH Group, is the pillar in this industry. Because of him, many other companies began their own industries. He started from scratch, losing and gaining profits as he fought his way through the world of entertainment.

His name is always on the lips of other business owners. There are many presidents who worked under him in the early years, including Rowan’s father. It is a privilege to even be in the same room as him left alone speak to him. But here I was, standing in front of him, and he approached me first. I must be dreaming.

“Can you hear me? Miss MacCauley?”

“Heh?” She came out of her daydreaming. “I’m sorry. I just couldn’t believe you were here, right in front of me.” She finished with a smile.

“I do understand. I saw you earlier at the awards ceremony and I have never been able to take my eyes away from you.” He smiled.

“What is he talking about? Is he one of those too? I shouldn’t have been expecting anything more him.” She was fighting her thoughts.

“You have a really good personality. A lot of potential too.” He paused, expecting her to say something. “ If you would like, I want to scout you. Personally.” He emphasised on the word to draw her attention to it.

She refused in her heart. Her mind still lingering on what he said before. Yet her lips were still sealed. Just then, she saw a man dressed in a navy suit walking towards him, a smile on his face. She smiled back. Suddenly, her heart sank when she realised he was not smiling at her. But her rival??? Her boyfriend was smiling at her rival???

“It seems you don’t appreciate my effort to lend a hand.” Mr Valdez said and turned on his heel.

“Wait!” She stopped him. “I accept.” She blurted out.

“Accept what?” A nosy voice came out from behind her. She recognised the voice yet paid no heed to it.

“This is my business card. Give me a call when you’re free.” Mr Valdez said to her with a surprisingly big smile. He sure looked like a creep, for a moment.

Brielle began to walk away after Mr Valdez left her presence. A strong hand gripped her arm forcing her to stop.

“Let go of me.”

“You never answered my question.” He roared.
