Chapter 151 - Invitation To The Royal Gala

Ren frowned when he saw an incoming SMS from Amelia. It's almost midnight, but his secretary was texting his cell phone instead. Since the incident with Fae last year, Ren had forbidden Amelia to come to his mansion and contact him at night, in order to protect Fae's feelings.

But lately, it looked like Amelia had become braver and she started contacting Ren late at night like before.

Ugh .. Amelia knew him very well and knew that without Fae by his side, Ren had trouble sleeping again and was still awake at this hour.

The man was about to slam down his cellphone. His mind was still annoyed at the thought of Fae just changing her cellphone and making him unable to track his wife anymore.

But before he had time to slam his cellphone, entered the second, third, and fourth SMS.

Ren started feeling curious. Amelia wouldn't send him many SMS like this unless it's important. After all, Amelia knew him very well and would not purposely do things he hated.

Hmm ...

He opened the first SMS and a moment later frowned. In the photo, Fae and Mischa were sitting at dinner in a fancy restaurant. They seemed to eat while talking warmly. He was stunned to see how bright Fae's face was in the photo.

Fae looked carefree and happy. Ren didn't remember the last time he saw Fae smile so widely like this.

Was Fae really unhappy with him that he hadn't even made his wife smile for a long time?

Ugh ... It's Mischa again, Ren thought irritably.

He opened the second SMS and found another photo, still showing Mischa and Fae having dinner. Mischa was pouring wine into Fae's glass and the girl seemed to smile gratefully.

The next photo was Fae and Mischa walking out of the restaurant. Fae patted Mischa's coat which looked a little wrinkled. Then, the last photo showed them exiting the restaurant and into the elevator together.

Ren knew that Fae came to the RMI office many times, and he could guess that Fae was applying for a job there. However, he did not think Mischa would personally meet the girl and make her work for him.

***

Fae was shocked when the receptionist called her and said that there was a man waiting for her in the lobby. She wasn't expecting anyone, so this news made her wonder. 

"What is wrong?" asked Mischa, who saw Fae's face looking confused. He just arrived with an invitation in his hand and put it on the girl's desk.

"I don't know. The reception said someone is waiting for me." Fae stared at the invitation on her desk with rounded eyes. "Uhm ... Boss, what is this?"

"This is an invitation to the new year's party at the royal palace," said Mischa. 

"The king of Moravia invites important people in his country to attend the new year's eve party at the royal palace every year. RMI gets several invitations because of our contribution to the Moravian economy. Would you like to come?"

Invitation to attend the new year's party at the palace?

Fae bit her lip. She remembered that last year Ren was forced to come to this party to represent the royal family. Of course, Fae wasn't brought. Fae could imagine that at the party, it would be Amelia who was accompanying her husband again.

Ugh ... In the past, Fae badly wanted to come to the party at least once, or even just visiting the palace, but she always had to refrain for fear of causing trouble for Ren.

Now, after she left her husband, it turned out that the opportunity came from Mischa.

Should she come? But, if she did, she would definitely meet Ren there ...

Fae didn't know what to decide.

"Should I come?" asked Fae, frowning.

Mischa was amazed at Fae's attitude. Everyone was eager to come to the royal gala, but strangely, Fae looked reluctant.

He could presume that it had something to do with Prince Renald. Had Fae and that person separated? Could that be why Fae was now working at RMI?

Mischa became more and more curious to know what happened between Fae and that man.

Finally, he replied diplomatically. "You'll get overtime pay if you attend the New Year's party with me."

Fae swallowed hard. "Uhmm ... it's a really big holiday, boss."

"Okay, fine. Your overtime compensation will be doubled if you come with me to the royal gala," added Mischa. "Are you happy now?"

That's when Fae knew she didn't have to think anymore. She immediately nodded and took the invitation and put it in her bag. "I will come."

"You can also buy a nice dress to wear to the royal gala. Just charge it to the corporate account, with the card you are keeping," said Mischa with a smile. He then walked into his office. He was waiting for reports from his subordinates who checked Fae's fingerprints and compared them with Vega's existing fingerprint data.

He had to do it secretly so as not to make Elios Linden suspicious. Once again, he was really careful this time. He didn't want anyone from the Medici or Schneider families to hear the news that he had found a girl who looked like Vega, again.

Fae left her desk and went down to the lobby. She had to meet the person who was waiting for her. She was really curious to know who the guest was.

"Good evening, Madame," John touched the tip of his hat, showing his respect to Fae.

The girl was stunned to see Ren's personal driver sitting on the lobby sofa and immediately got up when he saw her.

"What are you doing here?" asked Fae in puzzlement.

"Master told me to see you and escort you to your new residence," said John respectfully.

"My new residence?" Fae shook her head. "I already have a flat. He doesn't have to take care of me anymore. I decided to leave. That's why I don't demand anything from him."

"I don't know anything, Madame. You'd better contact Master," said John, who did not seem offended at all.

Fae shook her head and took her cellphone from her pocket.. She walked to the corner of the lobby for privacy and then called Ren.
