Faith Woods

The next day,

The big hall was filled with chatter, smiles. The party was not big and only a few 50-65 people attended. The guests consisted of celebrities, family members of the Miller's, and friends. The occasion was small but everyone made sure to dress up properly and welcome the eldest daughter of the Miller's family. Since little, Bae had always been socializing with everyone. She became well known over the years and she always attended parties as Jason and Aiden's date. It naturally became a habit of seeing her at the most exclusive celebrations.

Bae of course used this to her advantage and used all the connections she made over the years to help her artwork grow. Soon she became a well-known artist and her pieces were showcased on several auctions. Each one of them had taken their career into their own hands which made everyone look up to them.

Opposite of his siblings Jason pursued an acting and modeling career but still stayed with his parents since two of their children had already run away. Using his efforts he became a well-known star in the entertainment industry. Everyone was quite astonished when they saw how each child went towards their path alone and succeded. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were quite afraid at first because their children might ignore the family business but in the end their oldest not only made a name for himself by building his own company on his own merits but also inclined himself on looking after their family empire.

Of course all the guests were quite excited to see how the night would unfold. So excited that 30 minutes before the party officially started the majority of the guests had arrived. Bae arranged a small auction of her best art and made sure that all the money made today would be donations to different centers and programs such as orphanages and shelters. She allowed a few reporters and photographers and important media influencers to join as well so that more people would be inclined to helping out and using their money for good purposes.

Many only had the intention of sucking up and others just wanted to look good. To these people Bae only greeted them politely but she didn't bother to give them any sort of special attention. This is because at the end of the day whether they are genuine in their help at least the children from orphanages and other programs would benefit.

On the other hand, when she recognized people who had the intention of actually supporting the unfortunate she greeted them with much warmth. She even made sure to get in contact with them so that they could go visit the places where they are donating and together check out the process.

When Genesis heard of the things Bae was doing she couldn't help but feel happy. She used to do this back then and she still does except she avoids dragging too much attention on herself. She focused on one thing solely and that is visiting the children in orphanages and taking the time to genuinely interact with them. You can't just dump all the money into these programs and believe that you have done something great. The children don't only need financial help but they need to know that there are good humans out there that care for them. Of course nowadays society only relies on making a good impression on others on the surface.

They use their 'goodwill' to make an image in front of others and benefit from it.

'The world needs more people like her…' Genesis thought. She entered the hall with her hand hooked on Aiden's elbow. They had met up earlier and the contract has been officially signed. She couldn't help but feel nervous at all the stares, glares and glances she got all at once from the 20-30 people that noticed them enter. These people were the ones that had the one purpose of meeting Aiden Miller and get close to him.

Since everyone had arrived early Aiden and Genesis arrived just in time but it seemed like they were 'late'. Either way nobody would dare criticize or point out their opinions. It's not like it's their party anyways.

" Let's go greet your parents and siblings," Genesis whispered and Aiden nodded. They walked side by side to the center of the hall until they reached the table were Mr. and Mrs. Miller sat. Genesis gave each one of them a hug and greeted them. Aiden only gave small nods and acted like his usual persona.

"I'm glad you both came together. Bae is greeting a few other guests along with Jason and the auction should start very soon." Mr. Miller explained calmly. Genesis gave a small nod and smiled politely. Genesis scanned the hall and did not see the person she was looking for. She sighed in displeasure.

"Ethan has still not arrived. That boy called and said he was stuck in traffic." Mrs.Miller shook her head. Genesis scoffed. "He stayed in my apartment last night and disappeared the next morning for work. Hopefully he doesn't miss Bae's event." Genesis said.

Just like her Ethan had yet to meet Bae. She had texted him during lunchtime knowing he would be free and reminded him to come to the party. She felt like Bae and Ethan would probably click so she wanted him to meet her.

If Bae becomes her sister-in-law (Not that she isn't but of course she won't admit that) it would not be bad at all.

" Let's go greet them while he arrives," Aiden said pointing towards where Jason and Bae were speaking to another young lady. Genesis nodded. "Excuse us." She said and smiled. The Miller couple both nodded and not 30 seconds after Aiden and Genesis left, another couple came forward to greet them.

Jason was the first to notice Genesis and Aiden heading towards them so he greeted her with excitement. "Sister-in-law you're finally here!" This caught Bae and the other young lady's attention. Both women turned their heads to see Genesis and Aiden coming forward to them.

Bae gave Genesis an instant hug blocking her from seeing the young lady's face. Aiden frowned not liking how Bae shook Genesis out of his hold. Bae chuckled. "Sis, bro I'll like you to meet someone I met a few months back and we finally saw each other again today." She Said and let go of Genesis so that she could introduce the other young lady. Genesis smiled and turned to get a good look at the other woman Bae was referring too.

"Her name is Faith Woods," Bae said.

Genesis' smile stiffened and her hand made its way to Aiden's hand Caught off guard Aiden turned to look at Genesis. Once Genesis' smile disappeared she gave Aiden's hand a strong squeeze. Aiden took the time to analyze the situation and realized what had happened.

He rubbed the back of her palm with his fingers and gently squeezed her hand back. He did this and gave her another reassuring squeeze.

As if he were her medicine Genesis instantly relaxed. She subconsciously leaned closer to his body and tightly held onto his arm. "Miss Woods, it has been a long time since we've met."This time Genesis broke into a smile with great difficulty. Her movements were so quick that beside Bae and Aiden nobody else noticed.

"Indeed it has been a long time I missed you quite a lot!" Faith said with a bright smile. She even walked towards Genesis and gave her a small hug.

' Why does she still refer to me as her sister?' Genesis thought-feeling uncomfortable.
