Hollywood Zenith

Samuel drove to the back of the venue where Lucie and Nathaniel was waiting for him. He walked around the car and opened the car for Alexis.

They walked out and waited for Delphina and Sharon to arrive. Nathaniel came forward to greet them.

" Mr Samuel, I happy that you can make it." He smiled respectfully. His father Alain had told him to be careful around Samuel.

Unlike Alan, Bernard's son Nathaniel was much smarter in this respect. He knew his shortcomings and improved upon it vowing to provide best environment for Samuel and his people.

" You didn't have to come personally to greet me. There should be many people waiting for you because you are host of the party." Samuel shook his hand too.

He could sense there wasn't any hostility coming from the man which meant he had indeed learnt his lesson. He might have disrespected him in the past but Samuel wasn't the one to shy away from forgiveness.

He always respected Nathaniel's old man so against his better judgement he let go of the past and chose to be cordial with him but he would pay the small price in the future that much was certain.

" Nonsense. Oh, I almost forgot. Since you told me you like your anonymity I arranged the after party to have a more discreet theme. In that way you can hide your identity and still mingle with the guest."

" Thank you, but I just concluded that side of the business. There is no need to stay hidden but I will take yiu up on your offer. I didn't want to become the center of attention of the party." Samuel shrugged.

Just them another vehicled pulled beside them, Delphina and Sharon walked out elegantly marching toward the back entrance with grin on their faces.

" What are you guys smiling about?" Alexis asked.

" Nothing, I never thought I would have to be so discreet for any party. It's like we are doing some shady work." Delhina chuckled. Her golden dress hugged her slender figure tightly which even caught Nathaniel's attention.

Sharon was as noble as always, she was much more composed and only smiled at Nathaniel and Lucie but maintained her distance. As french royalty, she was always on high alert meeting new people.

" I am so honored to be graced by your presence. Miss Delphina and Lady Sharon, Miss Lucie had informed me about your arrival." He bowed slightly taking their hands and kissing them gently. He was respectful with his gesture but couldn't fail to admire these beauties.

Alexis also caught his eye but he didn't recognise her. Beside she was standing alongside Samuel, he didn't want to do anything foolish to jeopardize the harmonious atmosphere.

" It's my pleasure. I never knew you family was hosting a grand celebration right under my nose. I am sorry to come here uninvited." Delphina didn't mind his charming personality. She had her fair share of handsome man throwing themselves at her.

She was never really attracted to such individuals as she knew there was no substance beneath their beautiful masks. She liked to be invigorated not just physically but mentally. Sharon just nodded to his gesture like it was most common thing to do.

Lucie whispered something in Nathaniel's ear which made his expression faulter for a second. He nodded signalling that he understood, Samuel heard it and just smiled. He was really impressed with how Lucie handled these tense situations, she was really a valuable asset.

" Young master, here are the masks I prepared. You can choose to wear them as you please. I already colour cordinated it after consulting with Mr Henri." She put forward a large open chest. Inside lay a silver mask littered with glitter and glam.

His keen eyes could tell they were handmade and inlaid with real jewels which was definitely over the top. Lucie seemed to know what they would be wearing as she presented a matching, red mask for Alexis, golden mask for Delphina and emerald green one for Sharon.

" Please enjoy your stay. If you need anything..." His eyes trailed off around Samuel's clothes and face looking at it he sighed.

He had to admit, just his presence was suffocating. When he first met him, he was disguised, later he dug up few photos of him online but nothing did justice standing beside him face to face.

He never knew people like him existed in this world and he had seen his fair share of bith male and female models. There was something about him that was unique, he knew he was a fool to even show off in front of him that day.

Now he could only imagine what it would be like to know him as a friend but sadly that prospect went up in flame by his earlier discretions.

" Mr. Nathaniel, you don't have to stare at him so intently." Lucie nudged him and said in a hush tone but everyone heard it.

Samuel didn't know what to say seeing him blush. He was okay with attentions from ladies but a man was a different thing, he sincerely hope there was nothing in his fate in these weird direction or he would seriously curse Apollo for eternity!

Thankfully, Nathaniel coughed and apologized. He led them inside, there was a small room where they could get ready for the evening.

Lucie informed him that the party was in full swing. Nathaniel and his family inquired whether they should delay the evening for his arrival but Lucie knew Samuel would never agree to it.

The girl chatted happily in the corner while touching up their makeup. Lucie was apprehensive about meeting these high class ladies. Her life was fairly ordinary but after the chance meeting few months ago she slowly began to feel more confident in her role.

But Delphina, Sharon and Alexis were born in wealthy family, she didn't know if they would act rudely to her because she was juat an employee but fortunately they were just like normal girls without an ounce of haughtiness.
