The evening came a little early than we expected, it was still 6 and a half but the courtyard was already packed with a lot of guests. It was bustling to see so much friends, relatives and other shareholders in one place together. To celebrate the Grandest Birthday of the Monroe's little princess, which is Bella.
The businessmen such as Joseph were amazed to see the wide place and the exterior of his house. They had been rich for how long but none of them could afford such a big mansion. Though it looked old, nothing could say that it was because it has new modern-style materials done to rebuilt it. They could see that it was worth some millions.
More guests still arrived one after another and Joseph and Isabelle greeted them incessantly.
As everyone was loud and noisy, another person just came to the event.No one had still noticed his presence since they were all busy doing their own business and introducing themselves.But there were still people near the entrance.They were a group of young women who came along with their fathers'and they are all in their twenty's.
A woman from the group exclaimed loudly, "Oh my God, isnt that Ryan Fritz?!"
A lot of attention were averted to her because of what she said but it didn't last that long as they were attracted to the tall and handsome young man in suit. He was standing right near the gate's entrance and behind him there is a woman in a formal dress but she doesn't look like a date because of her formal obedience to the man and she was also kind of bowing down her head like any subordinates would do.
Women started to talk all over about how handsome he is. And men, businessmen to be exact were all quiet and stunned. Ryan Fritz? As in one of the young bachelor in business industry? The young business tycoon?
What is he doing here? As of what they heard in the news,he was never the kind of person who accept any invitations.
Most of the guests are curious. Some of them haven't heard anything about this guy, but by the way he looked as it is and with the woman behind him looking like an office assistant, he must be some big shot.
Suddenly, he became the topic right after he arrived.
"Who is he?"
"Don't you know who he is? He's Mr. Fritz the number one hottie in the city.", someone said.
" And the famous billionaire.", another person added.
Everyone was shock to hear that. Really? This handsome young man is a billionare?Wow, he seemed to be like on his early twentys but he is already successful in that age.
"What a promising person."
"Yeah, but they somewhat said that he's into guys, is that true?"
"Oh shush, don't believe those fake news.Can't you see how manly he is."
"Do you think he would notice me?"
"Just dream on, girl. He was never the kind of person who goes around with women, he actually treat women as wall, don't ya know that."
As the crowd of women were giving front talks, they were oblivious of how Ryan's expression change. He may look calm but he's tarting to get annoyed by this women. Is there really nothing they can do to talk but talk about me?
But what they said was true.He disliked women, he seem to be disgusted when they all flock towards him and do everything to get his attention. For all he knows, they were just after his money. He never goes around with anyone unless it was about business or family.
As everyone was still in a talk exchange, Joseph and his wife, excused themselves to greet him.
"Hello, Mr. Fritz. We're glad that you came." -Joseph said in a very formal manner. Even though he is older than this young man. He still need to be respectful on him. Because in this world, everyone bows down to power. And that was how it is in business, you have to be more careful on powerful people just to avoid being kicked out in the industry. But what made him frightened was his ways of controlling a company. He never spared any mishaps and his calculations had never failed. He plans everything very well.
While her husband was giddy Isabelle was all smiles and greeted him in a nice way, " Welcome, Mr. Fritz. We sincerely apologize if we couldn't attend to you just now."
As Ryan seems to be cold on the surface, but he was never disrespectful to older women who is nice like her. His mother taught him well.
Well,of course are to those who deserve to be respected. But if a woman showed him a fake and bad side. He wouldn't think twice to kick them out, even though they are older than him.
"Thank you Mrs. Monroe but I think its unnecessary.",he said.
Isabelle was confused as to what he mean, why is it unnecessary though?
He saw her expression but he made no move to answer her. His secretary seems to understand. And turn to explain, " What he mean is he greatly understands why. You have a lot of visitors to tend to.", she said carefully in case she said something wrong.
"Oh, why thank you, we deeply appreciate your concern." ,Isabelle said.When she suddenly remembered something, she looked at her watch and said again,
"And yeah. I would leave you both two gentlemen alone as I still have something to do. It's already 7. I need to get the Birthday Girl ready now. ", and she walked fast enough towards the house.
As they were left alone, Joseph was stiff but continued on talking and tried to get a little chance to make him meet his group of company to talk with business and maybe to find a chance of making partnerships.
And luckily Ryan agreed to meet on with his partners so they proceed inside the house.
When they were all discussing about business and stuffs. Music started to play on the background and everyone's attention was again averted to another place. And that is where the stairs are.
