"Hey, Marianne can you please hand me the juice there", Elena Micheals asked her best friend sitting at the bar of Moonlight Club, the best nightclub of Los Angeles. Elena was attending her best friend Marriane Richard's birthday party with her old friends and a few of Marianne's cousins.
Being the most innocent and straightforward girl among the group, she never drunk alcohol, so she asked for the juice. Marianne raised her brows a little annoyedly at her and said chidishly, "Girl you are so feeble. You don't drink even drink at my 22nd birthday? It's not like you are a child anymore! Try to enjoy yourself and get drunk babe."
Elena had known her for more than ten years and knew that she was a spoiled child of a decently rich family. That was the reason she liked to get drunk and enjoy her nights at nightclubs around the city almost everyday.
Hearing her persuasion, Elena smiled and and refused yet again for the 12th time this night. She was helpless because Marianne won't let her have juice and insisted on her getting drunk. In the end, Marianne secretly poured sone alcohol in her juice and passed it to her. After Elena drunk it, she felt the weird taste and asked Marianne, "What crappy juice was that?" Marianne smiled sheepishly and said in a drunk tone while gesturing with her fingers, "Babe I mixed a little bit alcohol in your drink. Hope you don't mind your darling getting you a little drunk on her birthday."
"You..." Elena was speechless, indeed she could not get angry with her best darling for so many years. Suddenly, Elena's eyes became heavy. She blinked a few time to awaken herself but to no avail. She had zero tolerance for alcohol, so even a little alcohol would do the job. Her head became heavy slowly. She was helpless. She then excused herself to go to the bathroom and wash her face to lessen the effect of the alcohol.
When she started walking while swaying her curvy waist, towards the bathroom, a hard flesh wall just collided with her shoulder. She was already feeling dizzy and so with the slight push of the muscular wall, she staggered losing her balance and was about to fall down, when a strong arm grasped her waist to balance her.
For a moment Elena was panicked as she was falling but just in the next moment her waist had been grasped by a strong force. She opened her eyes wide when she felt a warm breath on her face. She could see a astonishingly handsome but frowning face totally zoomed in front of her eyes. She looked at the adorable facial features of the man's face for a couple of seconds when suddenly the man pulled her up and she was accidentally pressed closely to his chest.
The indifferent and cold gaze of the man swept over the beautiful and innocent face of the woman. He suddenly felt his heart beating faster.
Meanwhile, a voice behind the man brought them back to their senses, "Mr, Hunter, we need to go."
Hearing this Elena came back to her senses first and gave a slight push to the man's chest to free herself while not offending the person. She feared offending him for two reasons, first being that he had helped her when she was about to fall and second because of the kingly aura around him that made her shudder in fear of him.
Nevertheless, her frail strength could not compare to the king like man's muscular body's strength. He didn't even budge a little. The man's gaze became a bit firm now but he still kept staring at her like he had just seen the brightest star in the sky.
Elena then looked down from his eyes and said in a faint but sweet voice, "Sir, can you please let me go now." Her magical voice kind of made a whirlpool in his mind. He had been staring at her face and specially her deep and shiny eyes emotionlessly for a couple of minutes now.
Her meak and sweet voice brought him back to his senses and only then he finally let her go.
Standing behind him, his assistant John Alec, was stupefied by this behaviour of his superior but still maintaining his indifferent look. He had never seen his boss, the king of the country's induatrial world, the great billionaire CEO of Royal Hunt Corp., Mr. Shardon Hunter, being in such state. It was like his boss didn't hear or see anything beside this woman in this moment.
Over the years, he had seen countless beauties throwing themselves at him but he seems to have never cared about them before but this time he caught a woman on his initiative. Seeing that both the parties have ended their staring competition, he then said softly from behind, "Mr. Hunter, the old master has asked us to return home soon. He had some important matters at hand to discuss with you."
Elena on the sidelines heard them and then she slightly bowed her head and said in gratitude, "Thank you mister for your help. I should get going now." After giving it a thought, she added, "See you later Sir..... if we meet again." This was the first man to have come so close to her and he was so handsome with his tall and muscular body and his sturdy aura. She was completely mesmerized. So, she subconsciously hoped to meet him again someday.
Even after letting her go, he was still staring at her and then suddenly he said, "Maybe!" After saying this one word emotionlessly, he turned his gaze and left the spot with his assistant following closely behind him.
Elena recovered from the shock of listening to his strong and dominant voice and turned to look at his back subconsciously. She had sobered up long ago. She still turned around and walked towards the bathroom with a messy head to wash up and make sense of the things that just happened.
