Encounter

As Stella Cruze entered the room, all eyes immediately fixated on her stunning appearance. Her backless stiletto heels clicked against the floor, drawing attention to her slender feet. The gown she wore was a masterpiece; its silver off-shoulder design revealed a vast expanse of cleavage, tantalizingly hinting at what lay beneath. The fitted design hugged her curves, drawing focus to her hourglass figure, while the slit thigh added an extra dash of allure. Her perfectly coiffed braided messy bun accentuated her flawless chestnut skin, and her full lips were perfectly painted with a flattering nude lipstick.

The room fell into a hush as all eyes shifted to Stella Cruze and her red-haired companion, Margaret. Margaret sashayed in wearing a form-fitting pink satin dress, the slit in the skirt showing off her cut-out heels, adding an extra dose of allure. The dress highlighted her voluptuous figure and flawless golden skin, turning every head as they proceeded into the room. Her wavy reddish-brown hair cascaded over her shoulders, framing her face perfectly. She wore cat-like eyeliner and rosy pink lipstick, enhancing her natural beauty. The two women exuded sensuality, drawing admiring glances from every angle.

"We definitely made quite an entrance," Stella smiled, her eyes scanning the room. "But I can't help but feel a bit uncomfortable with all the attention," she whispered to Margret.

Margret's snorted. "Take a look at your dress," she retorted, nodding at Stella's revealing attire. "You're practically seducing everyone here."

"And as if you're any better," Margaret chuckled, glancing at her own figure-hugging dress.

The eyes of the two young Dunn brothers widened as they took in the sight of Stella Cruze and Margaret, who had just entered the room. Aaron let out a smirk and commented, "Looks like Stella Cruze is here." Apollo merely nodded, seemingly amused, and walked away. Aaron, in turn, found himself unable to tear his gaze away from the two ladies, his eyes particularly drawn to Margret. She was beautiful, and he couldn't wait to approach her. Stella and Margret then stepped in front of Aaron, ready to make their introductions.

Margret had long admired Apollo's attractive appearance, but as she looked at Aaron, she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pull towards him. His gaze was intense, locking onto hers, seemingly taking in every detail of her face. She found herself unable to look away from him, her eyes tracing his features. His grass green eyes, framed by dark hair that was perfectly slicked back added to his handsome appearance. The modern blue suit he wore hugged his muscular physique, leaving nothing to the imagination. Feeling quite flustered, Margret quickly averted her gaze, her cheeks turning a deep shade of pink.

Stella glanced at both of them, her gaze shifting between Aaron and Margret. Her mind couldn't help but dwell on the thought of love, causing her to feel somewhat uneasy. With a forced smile, she addressed Aaron, breaking the silence, "Mr. Aaron, hello."

Aaron, seemingly caught off guard by Margret's presence, struggled to hold her gaze. Clearing his throat, he managed to say, "You actually came."

Stella responded with a light-hearted tone, "In the flesh," while her eyes darted to Margret for a brief moment, silently gauging her reaction.

Aaron, finally managing to tear his eyes away from Margret, replied, "I see you came with a guest."

"Indeed," Stella responded, a hint of playfulness in her voice. "And quite an attractive one, I might add."

Margret shifted awkwardly under their gazes, her eyes flickering between Stella and Aaron.

"Hi," Margret replied, a pink hue gracing her cheeks. Her voice turned sultry as she spoke, causing Stella to raise her eyebrows in surprise.

"Allow me to introduce you," Stella said, gesturing towards Aaron. "This is my friend, Margret. Margret this is Aaron my...uh ..."

Aaron chimed in, "And I'm her business partner-to-be."

"Haha, very funny," Stella rolled her eyes at Aaron's comment.

Aaron extended his hand towards Margret, his intense gaze still fixated on her. She blushed furiously as she placed her hand, adorned with golden nail polish, in his.

Stella crossed her arms and cleared her throat, then asked, "So, why did you invite me here, exactly?"

"I require your presence to accompany me," Aaron replied, a smirk of satisfaction on his lips. "I'm meeting some business partners, and I need you to be my guest."

"And what about Margaret?" Stella inquired.

Margret spoke up with a cheerful note, "I'm fine here. The party is quite enjoyable, and I'll find something to keep me occupied. Just don't take too long."

Aaron winked at Margret, adding playfully, "Don't worry, princess."

Stella rolled her eyes in response, placing her hand onto Aaron's arm.

Margret felt a jolt of electricity coursing through her body after the wink, leaving her blushing uncontrollably. She managed to force a smile, watching as the two of them departed and her heart thumped in her chest. Stella then turned to her, mouth silently mouthing, "What is going on?"

Margret simply shrugged, her cheeks burning with even more intensity.
