CHAPTER 31: ANNUAL CELEBRATION (2)

While inside the car, Chaya was so nervous and her hands were cold. Moven can feel it that his partner tonight was very tense. He held her hands to calm her down.

Chaya looked up to Moven's eyes. She do not even know why she was so troubled. She used to attend this kind of occasions back then.

All nerves in her body were shaking. Maybe because she is with her boss. It will go to be more attracting to the people. That makes her uncomfortable as they nearly approaching the location.

Ju Hua Corporation

Everyone was good looking with his or her appearances. Everything seems well prepared for this occasion with guests and higher ranks officials and staffs of the Ju Hua Corporation were dressing up beautifully and expensive gowns and tuxedos too.

This will be the most highlight in the company every year.

One of the guests were invited is Huang Xia, wore one of the best designers in the country. She is wearing Peach Long Chiffon Evening Party Formal Cocktail Dress Gown. She was talking to one of the business tycoons when someone announced the coming of the Ju Hua's President, Lee Moven.

As they approached at the door of the event, Chaya calmed herself and took a deep breath. She was wearing a Red Beaded Column Gown with Mock Neckline. They entered the room as all of the people were staring at them.

Moven makes sure that Chaya will feel comfortable as they walked towards the crowd. Everyone in the room was murmuring about who she is while holding in Moven's arm.

Huang Xia saw them together. She saw Moven with a cane in this right hand. She was so stupid that she did not even attempt to visits him after the accident.

Does she really love Moven? Truly? Alternatively, she just wants to be a center of attention to everyone. Now that seeing him with a woman in his party makes her regrets everything.

Huang Xia still did not take her eyes off them as they passed by. Moven looks in love with the woman beside him. They looked good together. He was so gentle to that woman and took good care of her. Her heartaches thinking why can't she, be with Moo.

...

Moven needs to leave Chaya for his opening speech to the people in the party. He whispered something to her ears and left towards the stage.

Moven was giving speech. An old man came to Chaya who is at their table listening to Moven's speech. He sat down to Moven's spot.

"Excuse me, my lady. Are you Yoon Chaya, the daughter of Yoon Real Estate in C City?" he asked her politely.

Chaya was surprised that the old man knew her. Still, she calmed herself. "Yes, I am. And you are?"

She saw his big smiled as she answered him. "I knew it! The first time I lay my eyes on you when I saw you walked in. You resembled with your mother when she was younger."

Chaya was confused thinking. Who is this old man? He knew her mother too and her family background.

The old man sensed that Chaya was puzzle by his words. "I'm your Uncle Sam Yang, your distant Uncle from your mother side. Your mother and I were very close to each other. That's why I knew her since then."

"Oh, I'm so sorry I couldn't recognize you. Maybe because I'm not always go to some gatherings in the past." Chaya apologized.

"It's ok! I know everything about you. I did not expect that I could meet you here in Ju Hua Corporation. Are you in relationship to Lee Moven?" He asked curiously.

"No-no-no! I am just his assistant due to his accident previously. He needed someone to take care of his needs. Are you here alone?" She asked back.

"Yes, my wife is also a distant relative to the Lee Family. She is currently in Paris with my other daughter who married an Italian businessperson. Have you been to C City? Your parents miss you a lot. Please visit them it has been a long time since you were gone. Your mother always talked about you every time I visited C City." Chaya silent for a while.

"No, I haven't. Uncle Sam, can you do me some favor. Please do not tell anyone where I am." Chaya said, begging. "Do not tell Mr. Moven who am I too. They do not know anything about me. I just want to have a simple life without my family background. As for my family, I will visit them soon." She promised.

...

'This woman surely wants a low-profile life. Her mother was right that her daughter doesn't want to be expose in the high society level.' he thought.

He nodded as the sign of convincing. "Okay, I understand. Your secret is safe with me. But, if the relationship with Moven is more than that. I am very happy for both of you. You deserve each other and I know Moven since he was a child. The way he looks at you now seems like something too." Chaya was speechless.

*Clap clap*

Aloud clapping heard as Moven stepped down from the stage. His speech ended and leads towards their table.

Yoon Chaya was at loss with what her Uncle Sam means. "Thank you, Uncle Sam., It was nice knowing you." She said it in a low voice and saw Moven.

"Hello old man! Long-time no see." He shook his hand. "I didn't know you knew each other."

"No, we are not. I just won't let this beautiful lady be alone while you're having your speech on the stage." He was smiling while denying about Chaya.

"Oh, I see. I thought you knew her." Moven said.

"Well, this lady is quite very kind to entertain an old man like me." while looking at Chaya with a smile. "She has a good heart and beautiful in person too." Winking at her.

They talked nonstop. Chaya was just listening to them. It was not boring though but found it interesting. It was totally learning experience to her part.

The night deepened and the party was successful. Everyone went home one by one without knowing who she was. No one had the guts to ask either.

Chaya was relieved that it ended. She felt okay now. They waited at the entrance of the building for Assistant Tan to fetch the car.

"Are you tired? Moven asked. "I was so glad that you are my date tonight for this special event. You really looked beautiful with your gown."

"Me too, I thought that I will make some embarrassing for you as your partner. Actually, I am not comfortable with this kind of occasion especially this big." Chaya confessed.

"Don't worry I respect you with that. I want to thank you for tonight and being with me is the most unforgettable moment in my life." Moven caressed her cheek. "I'm so happy that even you are not comfortable with it. You still manage to be with me 'til the end. Thank you so much it means a lot." He grabbed her waist closer to him. He wanted to give her a kiss but Chaya stopped him.

*Cough cough*

"Ah, boss we're in the public place." Chaya reminded him.

"Oh, I'm sorry I forgot. Hehehe…"
