Dirty Affairs

CHAPTER 50 At The Party

At the party ground…

Before Ace and Sophia could arrive back at the party ground, the party had already started. The background music, few people who danced to the beats of the songs and those who sat low key they sipped their drink slowly, waiting for the host to arrive.

Shortly, Ace and Sophia arrived. Eyes were on them as they both walked like a couple. Not just a couple but a young couple in the same outfit of beautiful design. Photographers never got tired of taking pictures of them.

They walked, heading towards the VIP space when he noticed Sophia wasn't giving out a smile.

"Smile… or at least wave to them." He said to her disappointed but his voice sounded like a whisper and he was sure no one heard what he said to her.

Sophia didn't want to start a fight with him yet but at least, not in front of the camera so she decided to obey.

She smiled, waving at the audience as they smiled and waved back at her. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Ace was quick to spot a space in the VIP area so he thought they should go and sit there but while they walked, Ace saw one of his business partners as he thought of exchanging pleasantries.

"What a pleasant surprise." Said his business partner as he gave Ace a different type of hand shake. Sophia wondered what type of hand shake it was because she had never seen such ever in her life. The way they shakes didn't look ordinary.

"Meet my fiance." Ace introduced Sophia to the man. With a smile on the man's face, he gazed at Sophia from her head down to her feet and to her head again.

"It's a pleasure to meet you… Beautiful." He complimented as he held one of Sophia's hands for some seconds before he finally placed a peck on those soft hands of hers.

Ace on the other hand wasn't feeling too comfortable the moment he saw how the man held Sophia's hand.

The man's conscience was clear. He only kissed her hand simply because he thought that was a better way to compliment a lady's beauty but Ace didn't see it that way.

"I have some work to deal with. Let's talk later." He said to the man and the man nodded and replied.

"Sure!"

Ace immediately adjusted Sophia's hands a bit so he could hold her hands probably as they both started walking, heading towards the VIP area.

The moment they arrived, He saw a table in front of a couch and it was probably arranged. He also saw another table in-between two chairs. He preferred the chair to the couch as he then acted like a gentleman. He adjusted the chair forward a bit and offered Sophia a seat and once he was sure Sophia had sat comfortably, he sat on the other seat. They were both sitting opposite each other.

"I'll be right back. Make sure you don't talk to any other man but me. Got it?" He sounded jealous and Sophia nodded.

"But where are you going?" She asked.

"I'm going to make sure things are in place and I also want to put a call to my friend." He replied.

"Ok. Please, be fast." She said and he nodded before giving her a flying kiss in a funny way. Sophia was beginning to like his crazy attitude. Seemed like.

"If you want something, call me and I'll get it for you. Do not take anything from anyone."

"Okay." She replied.

Ace instructed. He knew since his ways wasn't right, he had enemies that was willing to bring him down by hurting the people he loves.

Even though there were lots of security around the party premises, he still needed to be careful.

Shortly, Ace stood up and walked out but while he walked, Sophia's eyes never stopped looking at him. She continued to gaze at him until there was no trace of him.

The moment she could no longer see him, she sighed and she started feeling bored.

What could she do to keep herself busy? She wonders within herself.

She immediately brought out her phone. She went through the internet and read some news and even replied to some important message on her telegram, Instagram and Facebook. She thought of playing one of her favorite games but just as she was about to start the game, she got an incoming call. She sighed once she saw it was her crazy friend Cynthia, calling.

On the phone…

"Hi sis… Any update? Are you alone? Where are you? Are you busy?" Cynthia ranted and didn't care to know if someone might have heard her voice through Sophia's phone. Sophia on the other hand didn't bother about Cynthia's attitude. She already knew her to be a very crazy girl.

"What up?" Sophia asked.

"Nothing much? Where are you? Is boss there with you?" Cynthia questioned.

"No, he isn't. He left a few minutes ago. He said he would be back soon." She replied.

"You are alone?" Cynthia asked curiously.

"Yes I am. Sis, I have alot to talk to you about what happened a few hours ago." Sophia said happily and Cynthia who had been longing for an update also couldn't hold her happiness.

"What happened? Did you try druging his drink?" The crazy girl asked.

"Jeez! Hell no!" Sophia rebuked.

"Then tell me." Cynthia was getting impatient.

Sophia smiled for a split of seconds as the memories of what happened between herself and Ace came into view as she smiled non-stop, forgetting she was on call.

Cynthia who was still on call wasn't getting it at all. She waited for some seconds and Couldn't hear Sophia say a word.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Cynthia asked and Sophia snapped out of her lost state. She came back to her senses and remembered she was on call with Cynthia.

She continued to blush as she broke the silence. She narrated to Cynthia what had happened so far between Ace and herself. The funny prank he did and the beautiful customized dress he got for her. She narrated everything and didn't forget a thing.

Cynthia felt disappointed.

"Wait… hope it's not what I'm thinking?" She asked.

"What are you thinking?"

"Are you in love with him already?" Cynthia spoke and the sound of her voice could say it all that she was indeed not happy.

"In love with who? Never!" Sophia rebuked.

"Better! Focus on the plan and make sure you don't get distracted. Please…" Cynthia pleaded as Sophia forced out a reply.

"Ok sister. We will talk later." Sophia said sadly and ended the call as Cynthia's words started troubling her heart.
