When Fate Decided to Play its Part

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT;

Party Night (2)

--

A ding rang, indicating that Althea already arrived.

She raised her head and looked at the opening door of the elevator. No one was with her in the elevator, so she fluidly went out from the elevator shaft.

After stepping out, she was blinded by the lights of the massive room of the hotel. She almost squinted her eyes.

Soft and small murmurs entered her ears. There was also clanging of plates and glasses. Althea surveyed the area and noticed that the place wasn't crowded as she thought it would be.

Maybe only selected once are welcome here, Althea shrugged the thought.

An attendant approached her with a polite smile, "May I see your invitation ma'am?"

Althea halted and opened her purse then habded the invitation to her. The attendant looked at it briefly before showing another smile, "Thank you. Please have a pleasant evening."

Althea watched her walled away and attend the other guest. No one noticed her arrival since none of these people know her face, all of them were busy entertaining the bigger fishes. She relaxed a little.

Listening to the melow music that was playing in the air, Althea walked towards the table of drinks.

The party is pretty much the same to the ones she attended so far. But since she doesn't have the interest to mingle and talk with the other people, she, as usual, sits or stand near the corner where no one will set their eyes on.

Not that these old people will look at her in the first place. Even without talking with them, she can prerty much guess that all of them are hungry with money and connection. And, who was Althea?

She's no one.

She picked up a glass of red wine and out of hobby whenever her mind is wandering, she started to stir it slowly before putting it near to her lips.

"Hi there," someone she doesn't know said from behind. Judging from it's raspy voice, it's a man.

Althea, who was about to enjoy her glass of wine, paused for a second before proceeding to act like she wasn't there.

I'm invisible, go away please.

And, like how it always goes, her prayers were left unanswered. The man still approached her even even stood by her side, grinning like an idiot he was.
