The man held his arm out to Leo as he said, "Welcome, Mr. Ward. Please enjoy the night." Leo shook his hand then the man and woman's attention turned towards me.

I stuck my hand out towards Rebecca as I said, "Hi. You must be Rebecca. It's a pleasure to meet you. I have heard so much about you."

She took my hand as he said, "I wish I could say them same, but I am afraid that I do not know you or even heard of you before."

I dropped my hand as I gave her my best smile as I said, "Well I am sure you have heard of me, just not seen me."

Leo interjected as I was about to tell her who I was but he beat me to it. "Rebecca, this is, my girlfriend, Hannah Marie."

I watched at the smile tightened on her face as she listen to what Leo said. To my surprise, Leo turned my face towards his and kissed me deeply for a few seconds. We were interrupted by Rebecca clearing her throat and saying, "Well I am glad to finally meet you. It's not everyday that I get to meet a woman as powerful as Leo. We should have tea some day soon."

I look over at her and say, "I will have to pass on your offer." I gained the attention of many around by declining her offer and her reaction only gained more.

"Why not? I am a wealthy woman with a high standing in this community." she screeched.

I looked to Leo who was smiling at me as if he didn't hear a thing that was going on. Then I looked back at her and said, "I do not want a cheating snake as my friend. Let alone one that used my future fiance's best friend to cheat on him. Have a good rest of the evening." I state as I lead Leo away from the couple. Murmurs started when we turned our backs on the couple and walked towards Sophie and Louis, who were hiding their laughs from the rest of the crowd.

After we meet back up with Louis and Sophie, Leo introduced me to the more influential people around the room. Then once that was done, we danced to a few songs before I was alerted that my mother and William had arrived at home.
