Party 2

There were murmurs once again, this time louder.

The great Mr. Fisher whose name alone is more popular than ten celebrities fame put together, who has nothing known about him except for his last name, whose company is one of the tops in the whole of America, is about to address them. No one could hold their excitement right now. They imagined being one of the few people who will get to see this great man firsthand and up close even.

Clark raised the remote control he had been holding in his hand and pointed it to the wall behind him. The wall suddenly turned to a projector screen and Skylar appeared. Everyone thought they will finally get to see him, not that they didn't but this Mr. Fisher was putting on a mask. 

Not only did they not get to interact with him directly, but they also couldn't get a glimpse of his face. This made the businessmen there quite upset. Many thought it was a wasted opportunity.

Skylar watched the event unfold before his eyes as he sat in one of the rooms in the hotel. A wine glass in his hand and a bottle of wine in front of him on a table to keep him company. He played with the wine in his hand as we swirled it looking at the renowned businessmen who were nothing but puppets in his revenge game. 

 "A very good evening to you able businessmen and women. I'm Mr. Skylar Fisher, the owner of the Fisher group corporations. I know you all want to know who I am but my aim of remaining unknown for the main time will be ruined, hence the mask" he heard himself say in a crisp voice as he watched the whole event through his laptop. His voice alone made the whole hall quiet with only the sound of their breathing being heard.

"Fisher group is willing to partner with five different companies depending on the ideas they bring. The company is planning on building an artificial island and a resort located on the same island. We plan to make It one of the biggest tourist sites in the whole of America. That is just a snippet of how big the project is expected to be. Every company will be given a chance to lay out their ideas, and the companies who put forth the best ideas will be announced two months from now as I'll take my time to review every single one of them."

Each word he spoke sank deep into the mind of every businessman present as they realized how big of a breakthrough it will be to take part in this project. 

Skylar saw the look of ecstasy and amazement on the people present. Everyone could tell how this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "Target spotted"he muttered as he saw Mr. Sylvester look just as shocked as the rest of the people present.

He could see the wheels in Mr. Sylvester's brain racking possible ways to get the contract, and that's the spot he wants him in. Desperate enough to take any bait. Now that his company's stock has plummeted tremendously, Mr. Sylvester was looking forward to getting that partnership.

"I look forward to seeing your pleasant ideas and working with you. Have a wonderful night," the guests heard Mr. Fisher say before the screen went blank. Everyone was discussing what they just heard and how big of an opportunity it was.

The Fisher company was known as a one-man company. It doesn't partner with any other company to carry out its cause, making it one of the most respectable companies in LA and America at large.

Mr.Sylvester knew this was the breakthrough his company needs to enter the top ten companies in LA, to be able to rub shoulders with the top men in LA, and to be one of the most respected businesses in the country. There was absolutely no way he won't be a part of that project and he knows he will get the contract– by hook or by crook.

Diana didn't out what was happening, but she was completely mesmerized by the deep and masculine voice she heard on the screen. No one would doubt Mr. Fisher wasn't an old crippled man because the outline of his upper body which was the only thing recorded, definitely didn't belong to an old man but to a young man who spent most of his time in the gym. 

Diana was alone at the moment as the twins went to meet their parents who arrived a little late just before Mr. Fisher gave his speech. He said his name was Skylar, she thought to herself as she continued daydreaming about someone whose face she has not seen. 

Just then another guy walked up to Diana, introducing himself as Jordan Will.

"Diana Garcia," Diana said as she gave the man her audience. The man was not that handsome, he gave Diana this nerdy vibe. He started by listing all the achievements he has made in his life, and the kind of wealthy family he came from. He seemed like a dictator and perfectionist. He then moved to talk about what happened just moments ago, the news of the business partnership Fisher Corp is offering. 

"I have so many ideas that could help my father get this contract, brilliant ideas just keep popping into my head." The Jordan guy said. Diana nodded her head as she listened to all his rambling.

She looked around to see if the twins were done with their parents, but it seems not as it looked like a serious discussion is going on, particularly about the contract and business-related stuff. 

The twins worked in their father's design company, one of the best in LA.

Diana was getting frustrated at the moment and Jordan noticed. "Am I boring you with my talks?" he asked as he scratched his head. 

"No no" Diana quickly said as she tried not to make him feel bad. Just then he picked a glass of wine from a waiter passing by.

"Why don't we try something different," Jordan said as he handed her the glass of wine. 

"I don't drink alcohol," Diana tried to refuse politely.

"Why not, don't tell me you're not woman enough to handle just a glass of wine," Jordan joked but Diana took it seriously. With determination, Diana collected the glass of wine and downed half of the content in one go. 

"That's the spirit!" Jordan said excitedly as he gulped his remaining wine as well. Diana smiled at this, 'he's not so bad anyway' she thought.

The night went by with Jordan feeding her more wine while cracking jokes that almost broke her ribs. He was a proud guy but funny as well. He told her most of his high school and college experiences and how he always failed to woo a girl.

Talking to him, Diana discovered that it was his father who pushed him to man up and talk to her. He just wanted to be friends and Diana had no problem with it. 

By this time, Diana had already drunk more wine than her body could handle and she was tipsy. "Please excuse me I need to use the restroom," Diana said as she excused herself. Jordan was worried as she looked drunk but he shrugged the feeling off as he continued drinking.

Diana kept on walking aimlessly as she searched for the restroom. Her legs took her to room 402 and she wondered how she got there. "Maybe I can ask for directions to the rest room" she muttered before knocking noisily on the door.

Skylar just came out of the bathroom and a towel was the only clothing he had hung tightly around his waist. He was about to apply some lotion when suddenly,

Bang! bang!! bang!!!

The person knocked so loudly that Skylar just had to open the door but not before putting on a bathrobe. Normally he wouldn't have responded because he was sure it wasn't Clark but the banging was too much. He opened the door slightly and saw Diana sitting on the floor while still banging. He forcefully opened the door, this time much wider and it sent Diana crashing to the floor, half of her body in his room. 

"Ouch" Diana whined as she stood up and walked zig-zag into the room.

"Anybody here?" she asked while searching the room. 

Skylar just watched her do her thing as he stood motionlessly beside the door watching the intruder look for him. 

"I saw you mister why are you hiding from me, I don't bite, I only want to know where the restroom is, I want to pee," Diana slurred.

Skylar kept on watching her slurring and saying gibberish as she fell only to stand up again. He did nothing to help her, he found her movements somewhat cute.

He had never really seen her this up close before, just pictures. She was pretty in the pictures, but she was prettier up close. Doe eyes, her most attractive features, an oval face giving her a dignified jawline whilst making her face look smaller, her heart-shaped lips and high bridged nose were sculptured perfectly on her face. She was a blonde and her dark hair contrasted her skin color. Everything about her physical appearance screamed perfection including her hourglass body. The gown she wore did no justice in hiding her perfect body from one's eyes. The gown was a see-through net type of gown. 

Skylar shook his head as he could not believe he was looking at this girl in many ways he shouldn't.

"I've found it" Diana giggled as she walked into the toilet to do her business. Once she was done she did not bother to flush nor did she bother to get her hands clean. She just walked out of the bathroom while staggering.

"Oh, there you are," Diana said as she grabbed onto Skylar who had left the door to sit on the bed. Diana held onto his shoulder as she looked him in the eye. 

"I borrowed your bathroom for a minute mister" she slurred, "hope you don't mind".

Skyler didn't say anything, rather he was disgusted by the alcohol stench that came out of her mouth.

To make matters worse; Diana kept pulling his cheeks. "You are so hand..."

*purrrrrrr*

"What the...."
