Thread: A forbidden Love (me xZara)

But I still understand why I have to come to the party. You know I hate them, everyone acts so fake at them. All they want is your money. Halyna sorry its sloppy slumped back into the expensive leather seat, inside the expensive shortened limousine she was sat upon. Exactly sweetie. That's why we are going. I pretend to like the guys I'm in business with, they pretend to like me and then we get rich. Everyone wins. Halyna's father said next to her as he adjusted his bowtie in the one way glass between them and the driver. And besides, its time you took interest in the family business. Halyna rolled her eyes and looked out the window. She couldn't think of anything worse than nodding politely to old men she didn't know all night. It wasn't that she was a spoilt multimillionaire who hated work, on the contrary, she had joined many volunteer groups in life. What she hated was the world of big business. Eventually the limo pulled up to the venue and Halyna, along with her mother and father made their way into the party. Had it been another occasion, she would have marvelled at the richness of the hotel's architecture but at the moment, all she could think about was going home. The three of them weren't left alone in the crowd long as several men Halyna recognised to be her father's old friends came to greet them. The conversation soon turned to stocks and her mind began to wander, she bit her lip absentmindedly only to receive a lift cuff on the head from her mother. Halyna stop that, you'll ruin your makeup. She scolded. Anger built within her at being treated like a chikd but she saw this as an opportunity to leave. You're right mom, I'm sorry. I'll just go and fix it up now. She said excusing herself from the conversation. After making her way behind a large group of people, Halyna breathed a sigh of relief and instead of making her way to the ladies room, she headed for the gardens to get some fresh air and some peace. Her stilletos clicked against the marble floor leading up to her slender legs sheathed in black stockings and ending just above her knee as her elegant and very expensive blue dress that hugged her body nicely. When in the garden, she passed by all the chattng groups and found a nice secluded spot to enjoy the surroundings undisturbed. She was gazing at a rather lovely bunch of lilies when she was interrupted by a young female voice. She turned, a little startled by the interaction. She saw the owner of the voice was an attractive red head who judging by the quality of her dress was also very rich. Immediately Halyna knew there was something different about this woman, she wasn't just after a false conversation that would inevitability end up being about stocks and shares. No, this woman actually seemed to be genuinely being friendly. Thus was something Halyna wasn't used to in these social circles. Unless you count a date as talking to a group of old men about tax exemptions no. You might be on to something with the escape theory however. Halyna grinned NAD faced the woman, glad for the conversation. The woman was around her age, maybe just a little older. How about you? Who was your date with Humphrey, Cedric? They're all the same. I remember when my parents tried to set me up with all the guys at these parties. I'm glad those days are behind me. She grinned at the redhead, enjoying being able to be candid.
