Chapter 10

The night was young and lively and I had a blast. It was
the first time it
in three years I had the opportunity to chat and drink as much
The first year of my
divorce, I was busy with the bodily changes I noticed and the second and third year, I was fully focused on work and becoming the best version of myself,
s much as I wanted.
I’d almost forgotten how kind and welcoming the people in this city were, they were all excited to see me and they welcomed me with open arms.
It only made me realise how much I have missed them.
Few hours into the party. Terry came to announce to me that the clients were already at the party and I went to welcome them.
They were impressed by the mansion and the party going on in the background and it only made them trust my ability the more.
Catering for their conference would give me the highest amount I’d ever catered so I was excited for it.
They got to taste the dishes we had on the menu for the party and they fell in love with most of it, finding it hard to pick between which, they ended up increasing their menu list to twenty dishes instead of fifteen.
It meant more money for me and it was all thanks to Terry.
Surviving in a competitive environment like this one would have been a pain in the neck
him for his assistance.
k if I d
didn’t have Terry by my side and I was truly grateful to
Soft music began to play in the background and the guests moved from side to side, some sang along while some just swayed, with their gazes fixed on the DJ.
Glad that everyone was enjoying their evening, 1 decided to excuse myself for a bit.
It’s been over
over a minute and I hadn’t set my eyes on
eyes on Moon. Lord knows where he would be by this time.
I knew he didn’t like crowd so he wasn’t going to be at the venue, he’d rather hang around in his room or in one of the rooms in the mansion but the mansion doors were locked, courtesy of Grandma Mira
She didn’t want people storming in and out of the mansion at will and she stated that that was how people’s things got lost in the past. I couldn’t convince her otherwise so I just let her be.
Now that the mansion was locked. Moon should be around but not within people’s gaze.
So I began my search around where few people were gathered like the back of the event ground, there were quite a handful of people but Moon was not there and so, my search continued.
I met Grandma Mira chatting with one of her friends and I whispered to her about Moon’s whereabouts but she looked confused and clueless.
I turned to leave but I saw Fleur, Quinn’s assistant and close friend staring at me with so much intensity that it made me think for a minute that there was something on my face,
His gaze was fixed on me and it followed me even when I walked towards him, I was sure that he didn’t even know I was walking towards him as his mouth was slightly opened in a daze while he stared.
“Hello Fleur.” I greeted when I got close enough to him and he cleared his throat vigorously, realizing that I had gotten so close to him and he had been lost staring at me
“H–hi Anastasia, such a beautiful party you have going on liere. He remarked and I smiled.
“Enjoy yourself then I said before walking away, not waiting for him to say any other word to me but why was Fleur at the party!
Maybe his boss sent him to come gather information about me
That was the feast of my problems anyways, but I knew that he would tell Quinn about the massive change he saw.
I’d taken my time and lots of mondas to work on my dressing, my posture and even the way I s
I speak.
You can call ut improvement, but 1 choose to call the act of evolving. I wasn’t the Anastasia anyone in New York knew.
