"Please can I have a dance with you?" he gave me his hand. I looked me and I gave him a nervous  smile.

I allowed him to lead me into a cloud of softness and comfort.

Dwayn slowly put his hands on my waist. " You  did  a pretty wonderful job with the gala. This place looks  luxurious. "   He looked around the room as if searching for lost pieces. 

"Yeah it's stunning, it came out exactly. The way I wanted it." I giggled back

"Not as stunning as you." Dwayne   said with a genuine smile.

His words  tugged at my heart "Thank you. You look handsome too"

I held my hands behind his neck. As we  rocked back and  forth on the floor

 Dwayne kept looking at me intensely. So  I put my head on his  shoulder. 

He mumbled." Well, I am quite interested in seeing, how our story might play out. We could end up being the best of friends."

I let the words escape my mind  " or the worst of rivals."

He got quiet  and stop moving. But he just pulled me  closer.

"Where's Branson?" There was a tint of confusion in his voice. I pulled away to look at him in the face

I giggled and stated, "Not here." He just shook his head,  and he looked past me and froze. Then looked at me

"If you say so." He said in a matter of fact tone of voice.

My phone buzzed.  Dwayne's phone buzzed too. And everyone else's phone went off too.

So, I immediately checked my phone. A collective gasp rippled through the crowd, as though the air itself had been stolen from them.

My mouth fell to the floor. The ground ripped open, and I fell in.

"What is this? I  got to find my father. Bye Sydney." He gave me a side hug.

I immediately made my way to Violet.

"Confidential Hospital Debt Exposed." I   told her as calmly as bulldozer removes homes.

"I'm sorry.." Violet mumbles I could tell, she had no idea how bad this was. She was busy in his arms, she was a flame dancing in the wind .

"I need to find my dad." I screeched. I didn't even care to listen anymore.
Then I saw ....him

"Follow me Leo. So, you can detect where these documents leaked from....Detective?" I bombed on him

Before he could say another word, I grabbed  his hand. And pull  him through the sea of people.
Then I saw my dad surrounded by a bunch of men.

He had  a glass of whiskey in his hand. And ran his hand through his hair

"Good you're here." My dad nodded towards Leo. "Track these stupid leaked documents and find out if their true!"
My dad  yelled ordered Leo

"And darling, go find your mom outside. The butler will drive you home." Without a second glance he went back to chatting with the men.

"Okay." I mumbled. I started to make my way to the limo. 

The butler opened the door. As soon as I opened the door. I immediately heard my mom going off on the phone. I reached for my phone to text Ben.

Cause I needed clarity on another situation with him.
