Influence (1)

Helena walked confidently towards the main hall of Anderson's mansion, almost every guest who saw Helena gasped at her charming beauty, Daniel that stood across the hall never stopped observing Helena's actions, his eyes is following her every movement with a faint smile carved on his devilish handsome face. while watching Helena from the very beginning, he does not noticed a pair of angry eyes was observing him. His gazed that glued on Helena stopped for a moment when his shoulder is tapped and greeted by some enthusiast guests eager to chat with him regarding his newly obtained casino business in Monaco.

Helena glanced at Daniel from the corner of her eyes and proceeded to take the drink provided at the bar counter on the hall when she was blocked by some upper class women with a smirk on their face. Rebecca Kerr is currently one of the woman that crossing her arm looking at her with disdain, every time she thought of the humiliation she suffered at the mall, her blood boils to the extend she is willing to kill Helena all over again.

Helena can smells trouble floating freely in the air, based on her experience and observations nothing good ever comes when a bunch of good for nothing socialites gathered and teaming up instead of scheming at each other. A beautiful lady wearing a white chiffon maxi dress walking towards their directions with a small smile on her face. The group of women upon noticing her slowly making way for their 'leader' to emerged between the crowd. She crossed her arm and stare at Helena from head to toe clicking her tongue like a bully.

Hiding her hatred and jealousy, she is truly a great deceiver artist!

"Ms. Lee" she emphasized Helena maiden name instead of calling her Mrs. Anderson despite knowing full well she is Daniel's wife.

Helena had an idea of who is the woman in front of her standing like an evil witch completely throwing away the pure vibe of the dress she is wearing.

"Who is this beautiful lady might be? after my accident i seem to forget some of the un important matters" The answered triggered Miranda, her face darken after the subtle insult Helena dash it on to her. Since she is not important of course Helena does not remember her.

Scoffing aloud..

"Miranda Teo, i went for a business trip with Daniel last week "

thinking that could be her trump card since Daniel barely appeared anywhere with Helena, even as of now in the party where she is the daughter in law of the host family, no one came to greet her.

"Of course, it is understandable that my husband is a busy man, he works so hard to give me the best life so i don't have to tarnish my beautiful hand for work"

"Well, i am happy you trust your husband fully Ms. Lee" she retorted with a contempt.

"Ms. Teo, what are you implying? is that my husband Daniel Anderson is untrustworthy? "

Miranda face twisted a little, she should not have implicate Daniel, calling Helena husband unfaithful is like insulting Daniel himself.

"And also its Mrs. Anderson for you" Helena flicked her long hair and left to get her drink, her throat parched from controlling her impulse to beat Miranda to a pulp.

"AAAAAAA" the scream was loud making everyone darted their eyes onto Helena that has her back facing Miranda. She turned to look at Miranda that holding her ankle with tears rolling off her smooth cheek. She bit her lip seemingly holding a pain.

"Helena i was just....just.." choking on her words when Rebecca Kerr came and grab her to her feet. The crowd sneered towards Helena that still stood there watching the bad acting from Miranda part. Miranda secretly smiled and winked towards her followers that speak up since she pretended to hold her tongue.

"Ms. Lee!!! why did you push Miranda like that?" Rebecca Kerr started with her award winning performance.

Daniel saw the commotions and rushed there to see Helena still has her arm crossing..

As soon as Rebecca notice Daniel making her way to them, she turned to Miranda and nodded.

"It is okay Becky, i don't think she mean it" Miranda waving her hand dismissing the accusation to paint a forgiving image of herself. The crowd murmured whenever they saw Helena that still standing un apologetic.

"What's going on here" Daniel arrival making every women blushed when they see his devilish handsome face and perfectly perfect god like figured in a black tuxedo near them.

Some ladies from upper class citizen also holding their breathe seeing this unflawed creation stood tall in front of him. Helena looking around her and rolled her eyes seeing some of the ladies flustered like a horny teenagers.

Before Miranda could answer his question, Daniel lean closed to her and whisper few words, Miranda flustered red cheek is now pale and white like a piece of paper. She nodded and lowered her eyes on the ground, Daniel never is this close with any women and his actions was interpret by helping Miranda.

Every ladies that is not aware Daniel has been married is full blown jealous towards Miranda.

Helena cant stand watching these two whispering with each other, seems like everyone forgot that she is the supposedly guilty party for pushing Miranda now that Daniel appeared to save the damsel in distress. Of course he is, what does she expect of him.

She left swiftly feeling heaviness in her chest for the unknown reason, perhaps deep down she felt it and refuse to acknowledge it.
