Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 76
Every thing was in place for tonight's introductory event.
The
guess list had been finalized with majority of those invited confirming their
attendance. It came as no surprise that everyone had shown eagerness to
attend. the news itself had been to talk for days and I could only imagine that
everyone was more than intrigued and thrilled to welcome Scott to the circle.
it was mostly due to the fact that Scott had really invested in local businesses
and he’s aimed target was usually foreign and more established companies.
naturally that did makes sense especially for a good businessman. everyone
knew that it was better too invest in a booming business then one that was just
getting back to it.
that had been the very reason that had everyone's tongues wagging about the
news. who could fault them? I could still recall how surprised I was when Lucy
had told me about this.
I had stopped by at the venue earlier and was quite pleased with how everything
had turned out. the decor was far beyond what I had been expecting and I was
quite pleased with how it had turned. out. The colour scheme that I settled on
had been a matte black and royal blue. The two colours. contrasted perfectly well
and added a little edge to the over all look.
The round tables had been placed spaciously in an orderly manner when black
table covers were placed over. Plates and cutlery were all set and blue napkins
were tucked neatly beneath each plate. It was all perfect and ready with an hour
to spare before the even began.
I rushed back home to get myself ready as the host to the event I couldn't be late
by any means and not even fasterly late would do. all of the companies investors
amongst the board of directors and important figures would be in attendance and
everything has to be perfect.
after hopping into the steamy shower I had scrubbed every part of my b*dy and
leather up with shampoo for it by conditioner and then a quick hair treatment
which I had rinsed of before getting out of the shower. I wrapped a bath towel
around my b*dy and swooped my hair up in to a smaller one to dry a little bit.
The sparkling beaded black dress that I had picked out for tonight was beautiful.
It was not dramatic by any means. The length of it was just above my knee but
the fit had been perfect. I dried
my b*dy and threw on matching underwear before I sl*pped the dress on and
zipped it up thanks to the zipper fitted on the side of the dress rather than the
back.
off
The dress had fit me like a second skin and hugged my b*dy perfectly. The
n*eckline was square one which showed a little bit of cleavage but also gave the
illusion of a bit more fuller chest but it was nothing inappropriate just a dress well
fitted.
I dried my hair thoroughly before going in with a curler and pinning it tightly to set
in place whilst I did my make up. I did a warm smokey eye and went with a
brownish red I*p shade and just the perfect amount of bronzer over my make up
to give my bone structure some added definition.

I had fifteen minutes before I had to leave and I quickly finished my hair,
loosening the curls. before sliding on a pair of stilettos. A few spritz of perfume
and one final approving look and I was ready to leave.
My arrival was right on time. It was just before eight meaning that guests would
begin arriving any minute now and once they did, they would be welcomed and
ushered in to the awaiting room.
“I just took a look at the ball room. It looks amazing. I gasped at being caught off
guard before turning slightly to find Adam heading my way from the ball room.
“What are you doing here so early?” I asked recovering my surprise.
Adam had already been dress in a fine looking tuxedo for tonight. “Il was here
way before you. I thought you could use some help in case anything went wrong
at the last minute. He said and I immediately knocked my knucled against the
wooden panel of the window where we stood.
Adam chuckled but I was not amused. “Why would any thing go wrong at the last
minute?" I asked skeptically and he sighed.
“I didn’t mean it like that. I was just being safe in case you forgot to take care of
some thing. He explained and I wanted to mess with him a little.
“And why would I have forgotten to take care of some thing?” I crossed my arms
over my chest and looked at him with a sharp glare.
“Oh, dear god, Sophia. Forget I even said a word.” He held his hand up
surrender and I laughed.
“I know, I know. I was only messing with you.” I saw him relax and grin at me.
Adam walked around with me as we did a final check and stopped by to check in
with the catering. The guests begin to arrive and I headed to the ball room
awaiting the crowd to flock through.
Half an hour later, every one on the list has arrived. From the oldest investor to
our newest addition, all began flocking through to open doors of the ball room
after posing for pictures outside. It was not in my plan for paparazzi to show up
but they did and no one seemed to mind so I let it be. If any thing it would serve
as amazing news headlines for tomorrow all adding to the good publicity.
“Sophia, how lovely to see you again.” I turned to see Mr. Lumley suited up with a
woman half hist age on his arm.
I smiled brightly at him. “The pleasure is always mine, Mr Lumley. I'm so pleased
that you could make it here tonight. Lumley was one of the company’s oldest
investors joining in when my uncle still had things on a good footing-
The man sprouted a few more dozen white hairs and his once full dark head of
hair was now mostly made up of silver strands. Despite the effects of inevitable
aging, the man was still incredibly well kept making the woman on his arm
explainable. Well, that and money, of course.

“I must admit I had great fear for Deluxe Inc. ever since your uncle had gotten
sick but I can easily say that you are doing an incredible job. I've seen the
progress report and you've achieved so much in such a short amount of time.”
He praised me and I blushed but simultaneously beamed with pride.
“Thank you. That really means a lot.” I said and he glanced over where every one
had been crowding at surrounding Scott. “I'm sure that was what had convinced
him to join as well. Your company is making good talks in the realm of business
and reaching the right ears.” He winked at me before grinning proudly at me and
leading the woman in his arm further in for he ball room.
I scanned the room and watched every one mingle for a bit. This was amazing. I
couldn't help but feel the fuzziness of pride as I looked at the crowd that gathered
just for tonight and it was the hit of realisation that I needed to know that I had
been doing some thing right and I couldn't let it all sI*p through my fingers and
land in Dante's hands.
As I looked around, my searching eyes locked with a pair of familiar ones and I
recognised it instantly. My breath caught for a moment as I noticed Dante had
been looking at me for who knew how long. He was at the far end of the ball
room with a glass of amber coloured liquid in his grasp and I reminded myself to
get a glass of it myself. I would need the booze if I were to survive. tonight with
Dante and Scott in the same room for a few hours.
The distance between Dante and I had been scattered with people moving
around but I caught Dante's attention scan over the dress that I had been
wearing like he was peeling it of and away from my skin with his eyes. His gaze
darkened even as his hold tightened around the glass as he continued to drag
his eyes lower ove my bare legs but it was when he looked at the heels did I see
his jaw clench before he relaxed it. He downed the contents of his glass in one
swift move.
“Ah, there's the host.” I heard Scott speak from my right hand side and saw
Dante grow annoyed when he saw Scott approach me.
I tore my gaze away from Dante and recomposed myself before looking at Scott.
Scott really took the event being in his honour to its full meaning. He wore a very
expensive Italian made suit that one could easily tell had been tailor made by the
way it had fitted him. His hair was freshly cut and styled and his jaw cleanly
shaven, looking every bit the
part.
“You look stunning” He complimented me as he had taken a full inspection of me
and I began to get annoyed. I was not a spectacle to be eyed as I had been and
Scott had certainly taken his time but the man couldn't seem to get past my
cleavage.
I cleared my throat, trapping his gaze with mine so it didn’t wander. “You clean up
well enough. yourself.” I said lightly. “The investors are very pleased that you are
joining their ranks.” I informed him but he shrugged like he was very aware of
this.
“I know most of the people in this room so that makes things a lot easier. A few of
them I have running business ventures with but it helps that it's all in good
relations.” He said but I saw him look over to where I knew Dante had been and
his I*ps pressed in to a thin line. “Well, with most people.” He added under his
breath.
I reached out to touch his arm but all I felt was rippling, hard muscle but I tried to
think past what

“Scott, I must apologize for what happened the other day in the cafe. Don’t mind
Dante. He is still adapting to you as a new competitive addition. I still felt terrible
about the way Dante had behaved and I didn't get a chance to address it
properly until now.
Scott's brushed it off as he always did and forced a tight smile that didn’t quite
reach his eyes. “You don’t need to be cleaning up his mess, Sophia. Either way,
he doesn't intimidate me even if he likes to think that he does. Scott offered me
his arm and I took it as he lead around the room.
“I know but I just wanted to apologize for what happened.” I could hear the guilt in
my own voice even though it wasn’t my crime that I was apologizing for.
Scott threw me a perculiar glance and I knew he was about to say some thing
that I wasn’t going to like.
“Have you grown soft towards me already?” He teased but I rolled my eyes at
him.
“Hell hasn't frozen over yet. I retorted playfully right before we were swooped up
in to conversation by guests who wanted to engage with Scott and welcome him.

Amidst the eating and lull of chatter that filled the room as every one seemed to
be having a good time, Mr. Lumley rose from his seat with his glass in hand and
a knife in the other. He tapped the knife against the side of his glass to gain
everyone's attention and the room fell to silence.
“This evening has been spectacular. A room filled with talented, successful, and
like-minded people. What could be more lovely? Furthermore, I would like to
thank our host, the beautiful Sophia, for gathering us here tonight.” I raised my
glass to him as people cheered in agreement.

“Alittle bit of both.” I said in amusement. Lumley was naturally laid back but
tonight was a little more than usual and I thought that I had been the only one to
have noticed his energy tonight.
