It's been almost thirty minutes since Demilade left and he wasn't back. Lola was feeling uncomfortable sitting there alone. She tried to remain calm and sipped on her wine. She was already tired and bored with the party. She hates it as she watches people spraying millions of money on the celebrant and a few other people dancing. The invited musicians are not left out. A thousand note money was been sprayed on the singers as they sing.

          Some were having this kind of life while some people had nothing to eat. They don't even have money to get what they want. They eat, drink and wear things that they don't like. And it is all because they don't have enough money and can't afford to get all the good things that they want and life could offer no matter how much they work.

          While some are here and they never thought of working so hard to feed their stomach like the daughter of Mr Ramsey she had met earlier. There were other ladies like that at the party. While she can also see some beautiful young ladies like her with old rich men. She knew they are not their daughters. They were their mistress or side chicks. And the girls had to do what they are doing because they want the good things in life which they can't work for or their parents couldn't give them. They are wasting their future with men who already have a life  - wife, children and materials things - and are just using them for their pleasure. Their daughters are all educated and had a good and bright future and they will get married to wealthy men. But those ladies, are not trying to work hard, they are wasting their lives on things that are just vanity on men who had it all and whose children are successful.

           They are a disgrace to womanhood.

           But on the other hand, she didn't blame them much. Life is not balanced and it is not fair either.
   
          She dropped the glass of wine she just finished and picked up her silver clutch and stands up. She can't wait any longer. She has to go look for Demilade or she will go to his car and wait for him there. She knew where his bodyguards are standing watching them so it won't be a problem.

           She did as Demilade told her, smile, walk majestically and raise her head high as she walked past people. A guy walked up to her and introduced himself. He wanted to know her. She can tell he was some rich guy like Demilade but she wasn't interested. She was looking for only one person and that is the man who brought her there.

        Her fake boyfriend.

"That is so nice of you. But I'm sorry I'm not interested." She said with a small sorry smile.

"You won't regret it. Let me have your number and we can talk later. It looks like you are in a hurry." He said.

"I'm sorry. I can't. Oh! Over there. I have seen who I am looking for." She said grinning. "That's my boyfriend over there. Demilade Ninalowo." She said proudly.

          She noticed the look of sheer disbelief on him.

"I have to go." She said and excused herself and approaches Demilade who was standing with his back to her. He couldn't see her.

"Demilade, I've been waiting for you." She complained childishly and she put her arms around his waist. He did the same and she smiled when she noticed the guy talking to her earlier look at their waists and then went away into the crowd.

"You didn't tell me you came with a girl." Someone said and it was then Lola noticed the lady in front of Demilade. She wore a cloth that exposed half of her breasts and her gown have a long slit that almost get to her waist. She had a long expensive hair extension on her head and her fake lashes were so long. She even has a blue eye lens in her eyes making her look like a sister to a cat.
