Chapter 39 - [Bonus ]Welcome Party 2

Alex and Ethan looked radiant and dazzling, like a king and his queen. The atmosphere around them as they stood up there was just perfect and domineering, they radiated such confidence and beauty that everyone at this party could not help but look at them with amazement. 

They were the two everyone had been waiting for, especially Alex because of all the attention she had received over the past few days. Everyone at this cocktail party wanted to see what she really looked like, what was so special about her that Royalstar liked so much. All the artists knew how difficult it was to get a contract in this company, but out of nowhere, she had become the face of every brand Royal Corp own. This was shocking news that made many curious. 

Descending from the stairs, the guests in the hall stopped to admire this beautiful and harmonious picture that was in front of them. The couple were more appealing than ever. Eliott wore a plaid suit with different shades of green, a white shirt that highlighted his perfect chest, his beautiful legs were adorned by a pair of black derbies, he had a more casual and chic style as he was Ethan that night.

Alex wore a long green flowing bustier dress that was reminiscent of the colour of her eyes. The dress was relatively plain and was pulled up by a long underwire that gave a glimpse of her beautiful long legs. Her neck was adorned by a round necklace that was complemented by longs dangling earrings. Her makeup was glamorous with rather pale colours and pink lips. Her hair was tied in a low ponytail, she was simply stunning. 

Looking at the two of them, it was immediately noticeable that their clothes matched, making them look like the perfect little couple.

In fact, three hours before the party started, as the girls were happily getting ready, they were surprised to receive both of them dresses. They thought it was probably sent by the company to advertise them. It was not until she saw Eliott waiting for her outside the car that she understood the real reason the dress was sent to her. As Eliott stood in front of her at that moment, illuminated by the twinkling light of the night, she could not help but sing softly in her head as she always did. 

In the car Alex could not stop looking at Eliott, he was certainly a rare work of art and she was not even aware herself how seductively she was looking at him. Seeing Alex's eyes on him, Eliott could not help but tease her.

"Well, am I that fascinating?" 

"You are just too good to be true, can not take my eyes off you. you'd be like Heaven to touch, I wanna hold you so much, At long last love has arrived, And I thank God I am alive, You are just too good to be true, Can not take my eyes off you" (a song by Abba). Alex sang, smiling shyly. She noticed that she was not ashamed or afraid to show herself in Eliott's company, even when she showed her weirdest side.

"You are just too good to be true, Can not take my eyes off you, You'd be like Heaven to touch, I wanna hold you so much, At long last love has arrived, And I thank God I am alive, You are just too good to be true, Can not take my eyes off you" (the same song). Eliott found Alex's way of giving compliments funny and refreshing. He was willing to play along with her without hesitation because he thought she was so cute and sweet when she sang like that.

Back at the party:

Obviously, due to poor human nature and judgmental minds, most of the women in the room were dying of jealousy. They could not understand how a stranger like Alex could fall into Ethan's favour? They could not help but stare at her with a cold stare that could have frozen them.

"I take it all the murderous looks I am getting are because I am your date tonight?" Alex was actually amused. If she was hated by people like that, it meant these women were just jealous and feared her. It meant that she had some sort of power over them, so instead of being afraid, she felt nothing. 

"No, I think it's because they realise they can't compete with your beauty, it has nothing to do with me..." Eliott took her arm possessively, showing all the men who were looking at Alex drooling that they should not covet what was his.

The pair went to greet Leila first since she was the hostess of the party. Alex felt very happy as she looked at Leila. She was wearing an exclusive dress of her brand and it suited her so well that she couldn't help but widen her smile. She did not know if it was just a coincidence or if Leila had done it on purpose, but she felt very pleased!

"Leila, you are gorgeous!!! And this dress looks perfect on you!"

"You are beautiful too, let me guess," she took some time to look at Ethan, "this beautiful dress was offered to you, right?"

"Isn't she beautiful?" Ethan raised an eyebrow with a smile as he eyed Alex from head to toe, unashamed of how much he appreciated the sight.

"Yes, and her dress is perfectly coordinated with your suit, couldn't you be a little more discreet?" Leila rolled her eyes, her brother was becoming more and more shameless!

"Why would I?" Eliott looked so innocent when he said that, Leila could not even think of an answer while Alex just stood there smiling. 

Everyone started laughing as they were engaged in happy conversation. Fidelia, now knowing that Ethan was none other than Eliott, his Big Boss, did not know how to act towards him and was getting a little nervous. She remembered her interruption last time on the terrace and felt even more reluctant. 

Ethan had already noticed her discomfort, but just before he could reassure her, he was called by Christopher, so he left the three women between them and walked towards the crowd surrounding Christopher. 

Actually, his character Ethan had been created for that purpose as well: to come into contact with these influential people, he could then learn about them, their behaviour, their work ethic, or their vulnerability.

The other men in the room were waiting for these three beautiful women to be alone so they could approach them. Some just did not dare approach them, after all, they were intimidating and influential women.

Still, two of these men approached them. Alex saw them approach and immediately stepped back a little behind Leila. The least that was going to happen to her at her own party was that she would faint because a strange man had touched her.

"Hello Vice CEO Jensen, you are beautiful tonight! Who are the two beautiful ladies accompanying you tonight? Seem like new faces to me" Kevin Allen, CEO of Allen Tech came up to them looking like a peacock with his head held high.

"Oh, thank you, CEO Allen, let me introduce you to Alex Michell she is our new international model and brand representative and here is her agent Fidelia Rodriguez a talent we found in NewBell.

Kevin extended his hand to Fidelia "Pleased to meet you, I am Kevin Allen, CEO of Allen TECH. And this is Mr Wu, the owner of WU hotels.

"Enchanted, enchanted." Fidelia inwardly cursed at the dirty touch Kevin made on her hand.

Alex sensed it was her turn and greeted them with a gesture of her head, "Enchanted gentlemen, I am Alex Michell."

Leila, knowing the intentions of the two gentlemen in front of her, resumed the conversation by getting them to talk business with her and slowly moved away from the girls.. The two gentlemen who had to follow her were a little annoyed at her ending their approach, especially Kevin who was intrigued by Alex and was already lustfully imagining having her under him.
