Should I approach him?

"Did you ask the bank to send a notice at Mr Thomas's house, for emptying the house?" Neil asked his secretary. 

"Yes sir, they may have sent the notice by now." The secretary replied. 

"Great!" Neil said, with an evil smirk on his face. 

A few hours before going to the party….

"I have to do something today! I have to find someone who will buy my shares and also would want to have the partnership of my hotel! I must find someone influential who will help me in this tough time!!!" Mr Thomas said, in his office while his secretary kept standing behind him without saying anything. 

"I wonder who would help a sinking boat. I guess no one! Why would anyone buy shares of such a hotel that incurs only loss and loss!" Thomas's secretary said to himself. 

"I'll go now. Take care of the office in my absence." Mr Thomas ordered and left. 

"Huh! As if there is anything to care about!" Mr Baseli said to himself while sitting on Thomas's chair. "All I can do is to take a good nap" He said to himself and put his head on the table and soon drifted to darkness. 

…

…..

"Knock, Knock" 

Neil turned around hearing the nock while buttoning up his suit.

"Come in!" He said. And turned back to the mirror again.

Charles appeared opening the door, and said, "Sir the car is ready." 

"Alright" Neil said and fixed for the last time he looked at his room's mirror and fixed his tie. 

He then turned towards Charles and said, "Let's go! I have to reach before Mr Thomas, before he approaches anyone else." 

Neil had a cold expression on his face. 

 At the party…. 

Mr Thomas reached the venue. Reporters from different channels were gathered there to take the photos of famous businessmen. Of course Mr Thomas isn't one of them, so the media didn't give any attention to him. It was as if he was non-existent here. Totally ignored! 

The media went crazy when a black coloured bugatti chiron halted outside the Venue. The reporters weren't closer to the venue but they were clicking photos from a distance. 

Everyone was taking only one name, "Is that the billionaire Neil Smiths?" "Yes, it's him!" " He became a billionaire when he was only nineteen years old!" "My god! He's here?!" "I have never seen him attending any parties except award shows!" "Is it really him?!" Omfg! It's really him" 

Different comments could be heard from the people and the girls, even women in their fifties were swooning over him! Well, why not he's a work of art afterall!

Well it was shocking for everyone, the person whom they didn't see apart from the award shows and about whose lovelife everyone is interested in but never heard anything expected has appeared before them. It was a rare happy moment for everyone present there and yes for the other businessmen also. Because they are also interested in his life. 

"Mr Smiths, Mr Smiths please give us a pose. "Sir please give me one photo," "sir!" 

But Neil didn't stop, he kept walking and went inside the Venue, without giving a glance to the reporters. 

"Ugh, what an arrogant Bastard!" A reporter commented. "True but handsome arrogant Bastard!" A female reporter corrected him.

…

Thomas was entering the venue but he stopped in his way, and turned around to see the man behind him. 

"Neil Smiths!" He said to himself while looking at Neil. He then stepped aside for Neil to enter the venue. Neil saw him too. "Mr Thomas!" He said in his mind. 

"Sir, this is Mr Thomas. Ms. Katherine's father." Charles said. 

Well Neil knew him because he had done research on Katherine's father himself. But he can't tell that to his secretary. So he remained quiet and walked past Mr Thomas. 

"Should I approach him?" "Will he help me with my Business?" Mr Thomas asked himself, touching his temple. Without thinking anything else he went inside the Venue. 

..

….

"Oh! Mr Smiths what a lovely surprise! Nice to have you here at this party!" Mr Hudson, the one who held this party said.

"Nice to meet you too Mr Hudson" Neils answered with a small smile on his face. The smile is so small that no one would even say that he is smiling! In return Hudson gave a big fat smile to Neil. 

"Hope to have your presence in the future too" Mr Hudson added. 

"Likewise." Neil answered. 

"Thank you," Mr Hudson said. 

"Do I see Mr Smiths here?" Another businessman came towards Neil, while smiling. Neil smiled too but that same small smile. 

"You guys talk, I have to attend others also" Mr Hudson said and went to welcome his other guests. 

"Should I go and talk to him now or should I wait?" Mr Thomas said to himself. 

Neil could see that Thomas was in a dilemma of approaching him. Thomas was standing right before Neil but at a distance. At one moment He took a step forward and at another moment he stepped back. 

Neil was observing all his actions while talking to others. Now he was more determined that Thomas would approach him. But he wants to see how he will do that. 

His mouth lifted up into a smirk.
