You are Invited

Austin was sitting in a corner, anxious and worried. Calum had gone to get Alora and this event could not continue if she wasn't around. Journalists, news reporters and photographers chased him all around the building, wanting to know where his girlfriend was. He ditched them and sat at a table, watching the door from a distance.

All of a sudden, the door swung open and a beautiful Chinese girl walked in. All the cameras turned to her and she slyly opened her hand fan and covered her face. Beside her, was Calum. Is that Alora? She walked gracefully and slowly, causing the photographere to take countless shots at her. She reached Austin's table and declared loudly, "Sorry, I'm late dear."

Following those words, were a round of noisy ovations. Food started going around and slow music began playing.

"Alora, you look amazing."

She snapped the fan shut. "Thank you but call me Miss Chen. If you want this act to work."

He nodded like an obedient child. Alora looked cute. Actually, she looked elegant.

"You know how much I like black." He complimented her appearance.

She placed her arm in his. "I know. Remember that I am still the shy blushy blonde that you know." Her voice changed to a thick Chinese accent and she opened the fan. "Why don't we say hello to our guests."

Austin walked past the guests and went to meet Julius, who was in the middle of a group of women. He noticed them and escaped from the crowd.

"Austin, who's this?" Julius examined the girl. Austin had told him that she was a blonde with blue eyes but the girl he brought was obviously Chinese. She had long black hair and black eyes.

"This is Miss Chen." He said with a satisfied smile. "My girlfriend."

Alora gave a slight smile and closed her fan.

"You told me she was a blonde." Jul argued.

"And she is. Chen, would you mind showing him?"

"Okay." She stepped forward and backed Jul. She lifted the wig a bit so he could see a strand of her blonde hair. She rearranged it and returned to Austin's side.

"Neat right?" Austin winked at him. "I have to keep off the paparazzi. Anyways, after this event, you are invited to the family house."

"That would be great." Jul smiled at Alora. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Always." She returned his smile.

Jul returned to the crowd of women and a voice echoed in the room.

"Can Austin Cannon and Miss Chen step onto the dance floor?"
