Chapter 17

"Good evening, everyone. I am Cadmus Delavine, Director and CEO of Delavine's Scent. It is my distinct honor and high privilege to welcome you all to the 10th Anniversary Ball to celebrate an important Delavine's history. Everyone enjoy the night and let's have a wonderful celebration this evening, thank you" this is my first time seeing the CEO slash Chantel's brother gaya niya may angking kagwapuhan din ito na nagpakilig sa karamihan ng babae dito sa loob ng venue.

"Puntahan ko lang si Kace saglit" napalingon ako kay Oli ng magpalaam ito, I nodded and sakto namang pag-alis niya ay pagkahagip ko sa dalawang babaeng kanina ko pa hinahanap.

"Hoy!!" my voice easily catches their attention.

"Wow ikaw bayan gurl? Aberry ikaw bayan?" bungad ni Lana sakin at hindi makapaniwala akong tinignan mula ulo hanggang paa.

"Ang ganda mo, Aberry," sambit naman ni Ali, I smile at her, "Kayo nga rin' ang ganda niyong dalawa, first time kong makitang nakadress ka Ali" I said, ever since we were young Alliana wasn't really a fan of dress and any feminine clothes she prefers simple and casual style, t-shirts and jeans.

"Napilitan lang ako," naka simangot niyang sambit.

"Siya nga pala tara, gusto kayong makilala si Chantel" I said and pull their hands.

"Sino yon?" Alliana asks.

"Kapatid ng CEO at model ng Delavine's" sagot ni Lana sa kanya, malamang kilala niya na ito sa tagal ng pagtratrabaho niya sa Delavine's.

Hindi ko alam kung ako lang pero nakita kong nanlaki ang mata ni Alliana, maybe she's shy, kagaya ko kanina nong malaman kong kapatid siya ng CEO.

"Chantel, Sienna," I called their names pagpunta namin sa table na inuupuan nila, "Oh hi, here here have a seat everyone" masiglang sambit ni Chantel.

Umupo kami at nagsimula na akong ipakilala sila sa isa't-isa. "Chantel mga kaibigan ko, Milana from Media planner head on designs" I said.

Chantel nodded, "Yeah I know her, we already work back then when I was starting as a media Planner team too right Lana" she humbly said and Lana nodded with a wide smile.

"This is Alliana my cousin, Market Analyst siya," I said.

I saw how Chantel genuinely smiles at her, "Alliana nice to finally meet you" she greets her and after that, the party starts with some VTR's and speeches from other head officers.

"Let's dance guys," Chantel said and pull our hands while drinking a glass of wine already.

Sumama kami sa dance floor ni Lana pero si Sienna at Alliana ay nanatili sa upuan nila. Maraming empleyado na ang nagsasayawan dito sa gitna at halos maingay na rin ang paligid.

Lana dance wildly and drink a lot of wine, habang si Chantel naman ay walang tigil sa pagpour ng wine sa baso ko habang sumasayaw. Medyo tipsy na rin ako at medyo nahihilo na dahil nalalasing na talaga ako pero pinilit ko paring sumayaw.

"Woooahhhhh!!!" Lana shouted at uminom ng wine pero natamaan siya ng isang lalake kaya natapon ang iniinom niyang wine sa dibdib. "Ay sayang!" she haze and I just laugh at her, I try to look for Chantel for a while but when I look back to Lana she suddenly disappear.

Pagbalik naman ng tingin ko kay Chantel ay buhat-buhat na siya ng kung sino, hahabulin ko na sana ito pero may humila sa kamay ko at inalis ako sa gitna.

"Oy teka sandali si Chantel!!!" I haze and try to look back.

"Lasing ka na," I quickly recognize his voice so I immediately look at him.
