party 1

Diana sat in front of her vanity while professional makeup artists where performing their magic on her face. Their concept was to give her a natural look, "simple yet elegant". She kept looking at the reflection of the dress through the mirror, she couldn't really just keep her eyes off it. The dress was placed on a mannequin and everyone could see that the dress was just perfect and Diana wearing it will make it even more perfect. The gown was a long, black, see through dress with long hands. It was made in such a way that it had a very long opening along the cleavage down to the upper part of the navel, exposing the middle sides of both breast. It was designed with flower patterns all around the dress. From the chest upwards it was tight, while it was flare from the waist downwards and came to form a wide circle round the mannequin one the floor. Another thing Diana was in awe about was the jewelries it came with and the pair of shoes. It came with with a pair of earrings, necklace and a five inch shoe. The jewelries and shoes were embedded with precious stones. The earrings were a pea sized round stud earring, the necklace consisted of a thick silver chain with a diamond like pendant with precious stones that seemed to be floating in it, while it was just an illusion, the shoe was like any normal heel, just that there was little tiny precious stones laying on every open surface of the shoes giving it a rough edge. The only sad thing about the shoe was that Diana wouldn't be able to show it off, as the dress would definitely cover the shoe wholly lest she lifts it up really well so that one could get a glimpse of the shoe.

Nicky, the head make up artist sighed as he looked at his finished work of art on Diana's face. "I can't believe I did this he said with a dramatic squeal", typical of a girly gay guy. "You can can turn any gay man straight gurl, but not me as I'm sure I'm as pretty as you" he said with a flip of his hair. Diana chuckled at his words but she couldn't stop staring at the image on the mirror. The eyeshadow was smoky with the color matching that of her dress, while her lips held a tint of lip gloss. She knew she was pretty but this was a different kind of beauty on her part. Just while she was admiring herself through the mirror her father strode into the room, quite loudly at that. I want to have a word with my daughter so can you and your minions please leave, Mr Sylvester said with a tinge of rudeness. Nicky left with a fearful bow and his other companions did so as well.

"Well, I sure do have a beautiful daughter don't I?" Mr Sylvester asked no one in particular as he held Diana's cheeks with both hands. Diana glared at him ruefully before saying;

" You don't have to pretend with me, I already know what you want. I won't misbehave , you can be rest assured."

Mr Sylvester smiled at her words. "It's good I don't need to say much for you to understand my intentions, I shall leave so that you'll get fully ready". He placed his hands at his back as hummed and walked out of her room.

Diana arrived in a BMW car, at the hotel where the party was being held. As soon as she stepped her foot on the floor different reporters where already swarming her making it difficult for her to get of the car. The reporters where in awe as they saw Diana's face and dress. The cameras started working their wonders as the reporters started clicking tons of pictures to upload online. Diana guessed it's because she's been away for long that the reporters asked her questions like,

"who are you? Which family are you from, we haven't seen you in any articles, are you from here? Are you one of those successful people that likes to hide their identity like Mr. Fisher?"

The questions kept piling and Diana didn't bother to answer. They'll know her either way because Mr Sylvester will make sure everyone knows about the arrival of his daughter. Speaking of her father, Diana wondered were he went, he was just in the car a while ago. She can't just walk into the party with no identity. She waited a little while before Mr Sylvester appeared.

They walked hand in hand into the event with penny wishing they could go their separate ways, Mr Sylvester just decided to bathe him self in perfume, and that was choking Diana and making her nose itch. "Not that he could hide the stench that oozes out of him even if he bathes in the most expensive perfume", Diana taught to her self while sneering.

Just as Diana imagined, many heads were turned by her arrival. She looked like a princess right out of a fairytale. Every one wondered who she was, but there was no need telling it was from her mother her beauty originated because in no way did she bear any resemblance to the fat, bald man walking hand in hand with her. She walked with elegance as she held her head up high. Diana was quite confident in her beauty.

As they walked, many, especially the young men, wished Mr Sylvester could come out of the picture immediately as he was clearly not fitting beside beautiful Diana. Mr Sylvester then went ahead to introduce Diana to families who had outstanding backgrounds, and of course young heirs. Most of them praised Diana for her beauty and elegance and were matchmaking her already with their sons, it came out as a joke where everyone laughed, but Diana knew it was only a while before one of those many jokes turns to reality. It took a while before Diana was left to wander on her own. After the rounds of introduction to over twenty families, Diana needed a drink. Just then, a waiter passed with a tray of juice. Diana was grateful because she has a very bad tolerance for alcohol. She took a sip of the juice and as she was about to take another she saw a man coming her direction. She knew this would happen, she had already braced herself and prepared a very appealing "fake smile".

"Hallo Schöne", the guy said to Diana as he held his glass of wine on one hand and the other in his trouser's pocket. "Hallo" Diana responded. Diana was surprised, he really spoke German to her, hallo Schöne, meant "hello beautiful" in English. She was quite pleased with his appearance as well. Tall, a little tanned with his blonde hair slicked back, and a cluster of strands coming to lay at his fore head, Diana didn't bother to take in his facial features, but she knew he was handsome. He didn't bother to dress formally like other young men around, he literally wore a leather jacket to a formal party. That spoke volumes about the kind of guy he is. He looked like a f**k boy and that's not the kind of husband she needs, this one will cheat on her dozen of times that she fears he may assault her if told to stop. Yes, Diana knows why she's here hence weighing any guy that shows interest in her, she's looking for a husband material and this guy is definitely not it.

"Do you want to continue the conversation in German or do you prefer English", the guy said earning a chuckle from Diana. "Let's continue in English", she replied. She wasn't that good at German anyway. "Bad manners I didn't introduce my self, I'm Philip Brookes", he said as he took his hand out for a hand shake. "I'm Diana Garcia", Diana said as she returned the handshake. The two went on to talk about seemingly random things with Diana loving Philip's vibe as time went on. "Seems like she's a bad judge of character as this guy seems just fine to her, just a little bit of him flirting from time to time which she didn't mind". They exchanged numbers while making plans to meetup next week, when, is what they'll communicate to each other. Philip went to meet some of his friends in his circle and Diana was left alone again. Just as she was feeling the loss of Philip's presence she saw the twins at the corner. Seems like they attracted a lot of guys as well as Paula was taking to a certain guy of average height if she saw correctly, while Pauline looked so uninterested to the guy she was talking to. Diana waited for them to finish talking so she could go meet them but plans changed after she saw a certain lanky guy walking her way. She held her juice in one hand and her gown in the other and walked towards the twins not minding if she'll be intruding. Different gazes followed her some were the jealous gaze of ladies and some were the lustful gaze of men. The twins saw Diana walking towards them and they quickly excused them selves to go meet her.

Pauline has being watching Diana's every move. She knew Diana was pretty but damn did she not imagine it to shine brightly like this. She thought that by taking the dress, Diana won't be able to outshine her, she won't be a shadow of Diana, she won't have to feel insecure but she was wrong. Her planned backfired as Diana did not only get a better dress, she looked otherworldly beautiful. She saw how everyone was fawning over her and she hates to admit it but she's jealous. And seeing her from up close made her even more jealous because now she really felt like a shadow of Diana as almost everyone's gaze were on only her as they were talking. She could hear thier whispers but what could she do. She was jealous of her friend and she knows it. Jealous friends are the worse and she's afraid of where this jealousy will lead her too.

Paula was all giddy while telling Diana how beautiful she was and how she turned heads wherever she passed. Diana was also complementing the twins on their look as well. "Who were those guys you were talking to" Diana said as she got into gossip mode.

"He's just one of the men who wanted to get to know me more" Paula said as she was also ready to fill Diana with all the happenings of today, Pauline just watched their exchange while smiling through out so that they won't feel anything off about her mood.

Just then;Clark went up the podium to address the guests.

"Good day ladies and gentlemen men, Most of us here are from the business section so I doubt I'll need to do any introduction. The essence of this party is to help business men meet other able business men to help strengthen their relationships and share business ideas. The Fisher group has decided to give out five contracts to different companies whom Mr. Fisher will handpick him self while reviewing their different business ideas". This information made the business men present to gasp out loud, while the Fisher company is well known, it takes a lot of efforts and different unique ideas to gain a contract from them. This made anyone they work with to be awarded with respect and regard in world of the Business men as it takes only great and smart business men the privilege to work with the Fisher Corp. Clark waited for the side murmurs to disperse before continuing with his address.

"With all these said I'll like you guys to welcome Mr. Skylar Fisher".
