Chapter 41

It never dawned on Ren the difference on their status until he went to the extravagant party hosted by the Astin family on their own family villa.

Liliane greet Dean, Jiro and Ren though her eyes lingered more on the little student that the young master of Spade brought. She knew the gist of who the little student is so she just gave a beautiful smile befitting of a young lady and left them since there are still other guests she needs to welcome.

The clothes he is wearing is provided by Jiro because he said that his clothes won't do. Looking at the other guests there are well known people like politicians and artist joining his birthday party.

It really is a splendid celebration but Dean said that this is the most simple one as requested by Mikhail himself.

Rich people call this type simple? Simple is when you enjoy a party and then it is just you and your friends or a celebration with just your family. Ren can't understand the life of the rich.

Mikhail is not yet here as they say the birthday boy will appear last after all the guest have arrived.

Ren is carrying a small box inside.

He doesn't know if this thing would do but he wished he would like it. Err it is the thought that counts, there are so many gifts here he wouldn't know what Ren gave him.

Liliane who is greeting the guest since morning went to the third floor and saw her brother laying on his bed playing with his cellphone not yet ready one bit. In annoyance she grabbed a pillow laying on the ground and threw it on his face.

" Do you want to go meet the guest like that?"

She said sarcastically but if he did not start to fix himself starting she would drag him like that to the party, who cares if he look like a total dummy? His reputation would be the one getting burnt and then their old man would watch him closely in school.

Not her lost but his.

"Do you have to be so violent? I can just fix simply then that's it, is this even a party? They just wanted to show off and this is more of a social gathering for the old foxes."

There is no need to mention it anyways that is just how high society works. It is all about connection and business.

"Stop sulking like a child just so you know your friends are also invited so you can have some fun plus I would play the piano. Do you even know how high my talent fee is?"

If it is friends it would be Dean and Jiro. For his sister playing the piano, he couldn't care less since he is young he have heard her play piano that he find it normal to hear that kind of quality music.

Everything is the same as last year so he doesn't care one bit. He will just sit on the birthday boy's chair for an hour or two then he would go back to the dormitory and tease the little student. That would be more fun than staying here.

"Yeah I get it just get out of my room." He reluctantly get up from the bed to change into a formal attire.

Mikhail have a handsome face he doesn't need to do thing but he put a little powder and lip balm and then brushed off his hair up. He looked mature when he did that kind of style paired with a business suit.

He doesn't have a glare on his face as his expression looked blank and empty like there is nothing that can break in through him and his impeccable walls. Mikhail is usually like this when at home, it is only with his friends that he show other expression but even so it is only with the little student he show a smile.

There is a small box on the table beside his bed but he did not bother to put it on, he is not interested on seeing them. He prefer that they just remain in the background only seeing their silhouette since he is not even interested in remembering their faces nor their name.

He sat at the edge of his bed playing with his phone again when he saw that there is one notification on his messaging app. It is Ren

Ren: Happy birthday! I'll treat you to a cake next time.

A simple message was enough to make him happy since he knew that the person who greet him is looking at him straight forwardly instead of looking at the first young master if the Astin Family. If only he could spend the day with this person instead then he would without doubt dropped everything here.

He is glad that he managed to befriend his Ren-ren.

Only to him do he want to know every detail.

"Oy lil bro it is time to go to the party. Gosh are you smiling? For real ? Hey is that your girlfriend?"

Woahhh Liliane nearly had a heart attack when she saw a totally unexpected expression on her brother's face that she couldn't help but ask if he is talking with his lover.

"No, it is a friend."

No one smile like that when talking with a friend especially you who only know how to be angry and to be cold!

Though of course she did not say anything and just lead him the way. She won't say anything and just let him realize it himself.

Only the sound of heels and soles clacking on the floor was heard as they are walking to where the party is held.

Mikhail who is introduced before hand entered the venue and sat on the chair reserved for him. It is place on the stage where everyone could see him. If anything he looked like a prince looking down on commoner as he did not even bat an eyelashes at those below him.

The guests clapped their hands and watched his every move but he couldn't care less about any of them.
