The Billionaire's Love Conquest [UNEDITED]

Chapter 2: The Ball

As soon as we sat, Carla was smiling widely approaching us.

She looks radiant in her multi-colored long gown. A sweetheart neckline bodice with light ruched bust line and clear beads defined throughout. The gorgeous A-line skirt is made from many scraps of various colored scraps, which add to its beauty, fullness, and lovely shape. The lace up back finishes the look.

"Lilian, Mara and -- Dios mio......Nikki!!!" she squealed excitedly, as soon as she recognized me.

She's a drama queen sometimes, although very sweet.

She pulled me for a hug as she giggled non-stop and I reciprocated. She sounds so excited which I'm glad. She seems to forgotten what I've done the last time I saw her.

She pulled me a little bit closer in order to see me face to face.

"Dios mio, I can't believe you're here!" she exclaimed once more, breathless.

"Why are you wearing glasses?" her brows furrowed. Lilian and Mara smiled broadly.

"I needed it!" I replied shortly. Then, she just shrugged. "You still look beautiful!" she remarked.

"The food will be served shortly. I will just greet the other guest, will you all be ok here?" she inquired with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Si," we said in unison.

Soon the food was served. You get to choose what meat and side dishes.

I ordered the roast beef with mixed vegetables and rice pilaf on the side. Mara picked the breaded chicken with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. While Lilian had the same as mine except it's mashed potatoes instead of rice.

Soon, we were eating and talking about the past. Laughing with the silly things we did.

After we ate our food, the waiters cleaned up the tables, took the dirty dishes away.

The desserts were placed at a long table just before the entrance door.

Not long, the DJ started mixing non-stop music, and everyone was dancing.

I noticed Lilian, who was busy tapping her cellphone. Suddenly, "Wanna Dance?" Mara inquired with full blown smile.

"No thanks!" I declined politely as I smiled.

"Come on, Let's go!" Mara insisted pleading like a kid.

"Sor-" Before I could finish it, a group of four men showed behind Lilian.

A tall handsome guy, probably 6 ft or 6'1 kissed Lilian on her cheeks which startled her but soon smiled broadly when she recognized him.

I'm guessing it's Frederick.

The other three guys were behind the guy who just kissed Lilian.

Lilian stood up and walk around staying behind Mara with the guy, so I stood up, just to be polite.

"Fred, I want you to meet my best friend Nicki" she introduced proudly.

"Frederick Del Fuego," he smiled as he stretched his hand for a handshake.

"Nice meeting you," I smiled back as I took his hand.

Then, the three other guys walked around him and stood beside each other.

They all looked handsome in their own way. But, I notice the copper haired guy taller among them probably about 6'3 or maybe 6'4 dominating everyone inside the hall.

"These are my friends, Nicolas, Jeremy, and Alexander, probably you already knew him," he remarked grinning with mischief, making me pissed.

The smile plastered on my face suddenly vanished.
