The Party (3)
Qin Jie was a little bit surprised. The girl he had bumped into earlier had turned out to be Lin Ya - the accomplished CEO of the LY enterprises and the genius of the design industry. Her company was on the rise to become the first trillion dollar fashion company in the whole world. He was so surprised that he didn't notice that his mouth (along with everybody else's) was gaping open.
The girl on stage could easily pass as a grade A model. Her figure was perfect and her facial features were beautiful and unique. Her hair seemed naturally wavy and was luxuriously thick and long. It was evident that she had some other blood in her but that just made her all the more exotic.
Many of the guys present were practically drooling - even those who had been listed in the Top 10 eligible bachelors of the nation.
When she spoke, her voice was melodious and put everybody into a trance-like state. They could only nod to what she was saying. Even after she departed from the stage, the guests were left in shock for a few minutes before going back and celebrating.
Lin Ya entered the ballroom again and everybody turned towards her. Women looking in envy and men looking in admiration.

As soon as Lin Ya entered the dance floor the party began to revolve around her once again. She found some new people who were interested in making deals and contracts with LY enterprises. She worked through their questions about business and opinions quickly with an unexpected elegance.
As there were a growing number of people around her, Lin Ya started to feel a little bit suffocated by the sheer amount of people that wanted to talk to her and get to know her all of the sudden.
Suddenly, Lin Ya felt a tap on her shoulder and she whirled around to see Qin Jie, with a half smile on his face. He had managed to bypass the crowd easily due to his aura and noble stature. When Lin Ya turned around, the people around them went silent.
"Do you want to escape this and dance with me?" His deep baritone voice was alluring and Lin Ya felt her head nodding without her permission.
"Sure." She smiled and he took her hand and they walked to the middle of the dance floor. Lin Ya nodded a quick goodbye to the people she was talking with and turned her attention back to Qin Jie. She was grateful to him for helping her escape the interrogation of all of the party guests.
When they reached the dance floor, the music turned to the american song 'Make You Feel my Love' by the artist Adele. Qin Jie put a hands on Lin Ya's waist and shoulder and she wrapped her hands around his neck as she was taught by her Aunt to do. They started off in a slow moving box, the aura of the two gathering attention from the rest of the room. Nobody else joined the dance floor.
"Can you dance well?" Lin Ya whispered to Qin Jie, who gave her a nod.
"Are you ready?" He asked with a warm smile. It was Lin Ya's turn to nod and the two of them broke into an elegant display of twirls, turns and moves that captivated every person in the room. The two of them simply looked...too good for each other!
They effortlessly continued the dance until the song ended, breaking into a last pose as the music faded out. Immediately thunderous applause sounded from the audience. Lin Ya had been so captivated by Qin Jie that she hadn't realized the audience watching them. She blushed and curtsied - Qin Jie following suit. The music turned into something quicker so she bid goodbye to Qin Jie and quickly excited the dance floor.

Qin Jie was impressed all over again by Lin Ya who continued to make a great impression on everybody at the event. From her looks, to her elegance and aura, it was hard to tear your eyes away from the noble looking girl.
After the dance, he had just stared dumbly in the direction she fled for several minutes. He only came back to the present when a petite girl with a tight, short dress came in front of him, shyly asking for a dance with him.
After dancing with a literal goddess, Qin Jie almost felt disgusted as he looked down at the girl who wanted to dance (cough, or seduce) him.
He quickly rejected her and excused himself. None of the girls here seemed up to par with Lin Ya and his bar had been set up really high because of how amazing she was at everything.
After exiting the dance floor, Qin Jie searched for Lin Ya - dissatisfied to see that she was chatting it up with some young men. She seemed to have control of the situation as she leisurely twirled a glass of rose champagne and had a business smile on her face.
'What are you thinking, why are you jealous, Qin Jie?' Qin Jie shook his head to clear his mind of the unpleasant thoughts running through his head regarding Lin Ya's company. Instead, he immersed himself in talking with some other business leaders and CEOs about upcoming projects and events the Qi corporation was a part of.
Time flew by and the end of the party was drawing near. Uncle Lin made another announcement to the group and people started to leave the party after bidding goodbye to Lin Ya.
