You...

Krizzia's POV

I couldn't go back to sleep no matter how many times I tried. It has been an hour since those loyal guards of him left our house. I wonder, did he receive my message? If he does, what is his possible reaction?

At that thought, I couldn't hinder myself but giggled. Must be better if he's annoyed and pissed. He deserves it after all. A proud man like him should be ignored. If it's not about the smallest grudge from him... I will never make myself lower from him.

I am not that certain, maybe because I returned the favor he has shown to me these days? Lol, we just met two times and his color went out? What an unfair disgusting dude.

I did nothing rather than lying myself here on my bed while I had those thoughts in mind. Not until five in the afternoon strikes. Time to get moving for the latest task of the night. After all, I missed dancing shamelessly.

Speaking of which, I never had the timing to practice. I hope I will not be screwed later.

Going out of bed and readying for my departure at work. Today is the day, I can't be late. This is the opportunity that I've been waiting for. I moved precisely and got done just in time. Before leaving...

"Mama, I'll be gone to work again. Dad will come home soon, so please restrain yourself from going out of the house okay?" I hugged her and kissed her as well. She was busy piling the clothes so I did not bother her more.

"Stop worrying about this old woman, Krizzia. I can take care of myself." However, she's being stubborn again. I just sighed and did not argue more before heading out.

I hailed a motorcycle and asked to deliver me at the certain place I used to drop by.

While I'm on my way...

"Is Mr Reid really going to this party?"

"Well, that's what I heard. Maybe he will and I hope he'll definitely attend."

"Me too. I want to see him in person, real bad."

Many guests are talking about the mysterious Mr Reid. And that surname seems to make me remember about my employer Mr Reid. Is it him they are talking about?

If it is him... I should be careful to not be caught or else I'll lose my job as well. I forgot, the Reid clan is quite popular in terms of business and power.

I also remembered them when I once attended a promotional ball that was held in one of their hotels and that was when our family wasn't framed. I was still a minor at that time and had major changes today... maybe that's the reason they cannot familiarize me.

Well, that's not the case here. As well as things are different now. I am not the Alastair which the world knows before.

I'm just a normal citizen who lives her life in a peaceful community dealing with several circumstances on behalf of a certain problem which the world has brought her.

"Hi, are you Kriz?"

I was doing my makeup when a colleague approached me. I look at her through the mirror. "Yes, I am. Is something the matter? How may I help?" and I asked her right away.

She shook her hands as well as her head. Like a kid who doesn't love the choices of food being shown.

I frowned.

"No no, I just want to introduce myself and I also hope that we can be friends?" I thought something else was the matter. It alerted me somehow

But, I guess this colleague isn't bad at being friends at all

"Sure, we can." I answered and gave her an assuring smile. I have a lot of friends, but they ended only as titles. Some were gone somewhere, and some didn't acknowledge it at all.

These friends who remained by my side were Zach and his cousins. I admit, they are sometimes rude yet a caring person in times of crisis.

"Thank you, Kriz. By the way, I'm Anna. I'm so pleased to meet you!" She said but hurry to step back because the manager came and called Anna.

"Will be going to see you later after the performance!" She said and ran towards the dressing room's exit. To perform of course.

I finish my thing and chill out for a bit

Hunt's POV

I'm here at my office, working at my main Franchise building in Manila. Currently busy signing with the papers for the new upcoming projects this year to be launch in the country.

I'm wearing an eye glasses, with a coffee and a bunch of papers piling over my desk. It's been a week since I came back and became hands on with my business her in the country. I was not able to give time with my family who doesn't know that I am home already. I love being hectic, I love working and my business is the only treasure that I could embrace.

The door flew open, and without looking at the person who just entered, I already know who it was. It's my secretary. She's a middle age lady, which I prefer to hire. Girls obsession nowadays is a pain in the ass. More than a pain with these papers piling over my desk.

"Sir, I just want to remind you about your appointment later with Mr. Vincent Louie Saavedra. It will be later at nine in the evening."

I nod at her. "Alright. You may leave now." I stated and sign the paper I'm currently holding. It's already eight in the evening. I have to go home and change too. I don't want to leave work until midnight, however... I couldn't reject that punk's request. Today is his birthday, he's being nosy since earlier, reminding me to come over to his bar.

I stood up and leave. Turning off the lights and locking the door. I walk towards the silent hall way of my floor, and since its dismissal time... It's also expected that the entire building is silent. I hop in my car right after I arrived at my exclusive parking.

Narration:

Kriz grace herself up to the stage with a mask on her face. Only her eyes are covered. Her pointed nose and her soft thin lips can be seen. She prefer to wear one just to ease her nervousness, and that she could perform well. This is a different stadium with big shot guests and in order to protect herself from these people who will soon to admire her.

She's beautiful and she's confident at that.

Her milky and delicate skin is in a full show, as she is in her sparkly silver rhinestones bodysuit feather hips leotard outfit. It hugs her attractive curves, and her body figure. Her stomach is peeking, through the transparent silk. Her arms and her legs is making the men drool over her.

The spotlight was pointed to her the moment she reached the stage. The very familiar crowd and the spotlight is making her feel more excited. The sea of guests at that infrastructure is inviting. It's new to her to see the bar being filled by many people. She smiled as she can see those men waiting for her performance. They are cheering for her, saying lewd words and such. They looked at her with desire. But she doesn't care at all. She's just there to dance and to do her job.

The smoke from cigarettes, the smell from liquors is giving her the courage to move and begin dancing. She stretch her long arms upwards crossing it to each other, as her hips swayed seductively. She tilted her head and closed her eyes to feel the rhythm of her body, she also bit her lower lip in anticipation and grind it. As she is doing it again and again before changing steps, grinding her hips and turn around. She event lye herself on the floor, rolled and do seductive actions.

She dance like she's at herself only. She felt like she's alone at that stage and that no one is there to watch her. She rolled and stretch her body to the side and twirl it. She then touch her neck, eyes closed, licking her bottom lips as her touch run down to the valley of her breast. She bend on her knees, spreading her legs, showing her v-spot and closing it after like a snap.

She walk towards the pole, holding it and walk around it before jumping to snake in at that slippery pole.

At that time, Hunt just arrived. He was greeted by the people who knew him. Mostly, businessman, models and artist who's looking forward of seeing him right there at that event.

"Good evening, Mr. Reid! It's nice to see you again." Czar Montefalco one of the biggest shareholder of his company, extended his hand on him.

"Same as you do, Mr. Montefalco." They shake hands before entertaining the others.

"How have you been, Hunt? It's been ages!"

"I know, good to see you again Mrs. Agape Ave." They then hugged each other, it ended quick.

"Since when did you arrive at the country, Hunt?"

He smirked, when he get to see Tyrone. "Just last week, bro." As usual they do the bro code gestures that they used to do way back in highschool.

"I thought you wouldn't come!" It's Liliana, Drake's little sister and his friend Tyrone's girlfriend. He didn't expect for the two be ended up with each other tho. Liliana and Tyrone was like, cats and dogs. "I missed you, cold prince!" And because of what Liliana said, Tyrone butt in, stopping his girlfriend to hug Hunt.

"Are you trying to pick on a fight with me again, babe?" Hunt just excused himself from the two, to avoid being involved to the two's quarrel.

Bouncers helped him to cross over the sea of guest which blocks his way towards Vincent. When Vincent noticed him, he left his group and approach Hunt with wide smile. Offering a fist-to-fist bump which Hunt accepts. "Glad that you came, bud!"

Hunt walk towards the couch, as Vincent followed him. "As if you'll stop bugging me, brute." He stated and asked for a drink.

"My dear, Reid! How's life men?!" It was Logan, his womanizer friend.

He sneezed. "What do you expect to a boring person like me, Logan? Naturally, its the usual!"

But then Logan sat behind him. "Its not boring bro! You're just the one who make your life boring! You see, girls like you. Why can't you have some fun and rock instead?"

Hunt slapped Logan's face away from his ears. "You haven't change, Logan. Still the nosy dimwit!" He cussed as Logan just laugh at him.

"Logan's gone from his mind. Girls are not toys, just want to remind you!" It was Phoenix, the saint among their group. Sitting at the single sofa ahead them, with its legs crossed and drinking wine.

Flynn groaned, waving its hand on Phoenix. Completely disagreeing his friend. "You got it wrong, Nix. Girls are assholes!" Hunt nodded, he's one among those womanhater after all.

His heartbreak made him see that way.

"You're right there, Flynn. Salute!" Vaughn agreed and carry his glass for a toast.

"Cheers everyone!" Hunt may be unknowledgeable about Vaughn's sudden change of perception towards women, but he's glad that he transfer to his team.

Hunt clink his wine glass to his friend's glasses before drinking it. He roam his eyes around and was also caught by the woman performing in stage. She looks unfamiliar yet he felt like he knew her. Why was he feeling this way?

"Hey, lover boy." A girl approached him. Straddle on his lap, and allure him. However his eyes were like being glued over that girl on stage. With the way how she grind, sway and stretch her seductive body. It made him ache for that girl's attention. An exclusive performance from her. She's a real seductress!

He never been attracted to a girl like how he's eyes being attached to her now. Even if she's wearing a mask, Hunt can tell... This girl is a fvcking beauty!

"You like her?" Somehow Flynn noticed his hot gazes towards the girl who performs on stage. He licked his bottom lips.

"Who is she?" Flynn made a face. Looking amused at his response. Fortunately, he doesn't care about Flynn. All he cares for now is how will he get to know that girl.

"She's my employee." Vincent butted in. Holding a bottle of wine and refill his glass. "Do you want her, bud?"

Hunt did not answer. He just keep on staring at her. Afraid to lose track of her, even though she's just there. Dancing, and pleasing every men's eyes at that bar.

"You know, you can invite her personally. Just in case, if you really want to. But basing on how the way you looked at her, there's no doubt bud..."

"I even like that woman too. Perfect curves, perfect long and average legs, big t'ts, and that red lips. I want to bite, nipped and lick it!"

"Same here."

"Well, if you don't like. I'll ask that lady masquerade later. I'm sure, she's good in bed too. Damn with that ass she grind good!"

"Shvt up, Ace. I will be having that girl."

Ace groaned. "Nah-uh, I like her more than you do Lee."

KRIZZIA could feel an intense look at from the crowd. She couldn't tell, but she can feel her body burned. While dancing, she roamed her eyes around.

But then, her eyes met that captivating gray eyes. The man looks dangerous, yet gorgeous and appealing. She swallowed hard by the procedure of his gazes towering over her flesh. Her knees wobbles. Sh't, what's happening to her? She curse silently, and bit her bottom lips before grinding her hips in a circular motion.

She avoid gazes, and give her all to dancing. Not minding that one hottie guy on crowd. Until the music is done and is able to get off of the stage, safe.

But wait! That guy looks familiar! When she gets to rewind her previous activities, Hunt's face makes her gasped!

No way...

She's catching her breathe as she accepted the water that Sir Matt offers. "You look tensed."

She just nod, she almost consume the water because she felt drained. It's not like her. Every performance she accomplished, she's calm. But tonight, it's different. And that was because of that guy's sticky gazes. She knows that every men at that spot has desire over her. She was even used to that kind of look already. But, that man... It's different and it bothers her. It affects her. She could remember her beat went rampant, her stomach felt like being twisted! And her body, it reacts to that simple glimpse!

"Were you, nervous?" Matt asked again.

She closed the water bottle, and shook her head. "Maybe it's just the ambiance, Sir. Anyways, thank you for the water. I'll get change now." She hates it when she's being questioned. Especially when she's still not comfortable.

She stride the path towards the dressing room. When she gets there, she stood in front of the mirror. Staring herself, intently.

It's not like that guy will be part of her night. He's just an audience. A guests. So after this night, she'll be able to forget about him too.

She's there, alone. While her colleagues are now on stage. She took her mask off, and was about to enter the bathroom, when...

"May I talk to you, lady?"

Krizzia pause from going and turn around to see the owner of that voice. Confirming it and saw Hunt.

"You..."

What is he doing here?!
