Part 2

Seven years ago

Party is in full swing at that boarding house and the music bombarded their eardrums. He's there for the booze and one night shagging with college girls for free. He has the looks and he know how to use it well so when he saw a svelte and beautiful blonde leaning on a wall at the far end of hall, he didn't need to search his mind on what sweet words he needed to pick as a conversational starter

Grin. Loom. Lean one of your hand on the wall behind her, preferably as high as her temple. Say a word. "Hey sugar, it seems lonely here want to go find a room upstairs," he whispered in her ears

The blonde girl smiled seductively on his offer, "yeah but I'm waiting for my girl. Want to accompany me?"

"Is this girl open for sharing with you?" he teased

"As they said good things come to those who waits," the girl said as she teasingly run her sexy hands on his shirt.

Damn I'm one lucky man! He thought

"Hey man, I've been looking for you," a guy tapped on his shoulder. Liam, of course, his party pooper of a brother

He half turned on Liam, "Go away, can't you see I'm busy here?" Then he turned his face back to the blonde

"You have an audience waiting for you at the gathering hall. This is my scene not yours," Liam insisted. Liam studies in that university and he crashed on it thinking it was much better than those bored looking professors waiting for him at the gathering hall. He's about to make a speech before they give him an award as one of their brightest alumna

"Sorry sugar, I think I need to go," he said as he fished out his phone in his pocket, "but if you are still willing to give me a try, you can put your number on my phone."

The girl punched in her number in an instant. "I'll call you. Tell your girl she's also welcome," he said and the girl smiled seductively

They drove to the gathering hall after Liam forced him to get out of that heaven. He just had a few drinks so he knows he can handle spitting out some good sounded speech

He's a manufacturing magnate. His family own the largest consumer package food at Johnson but when he took the reign to his father four years ago, the family owned corporation expanded to electronics. Electronics tripled their revenue as everyone wants to have a new gadgets apparently. The rising population in the social media sites and gadget sales in their country is enough evidence. That's the reason why the university is giving him that prestigious award. The better businessman to award the better sponsor they can get

"Ladies and gentlemen, but normally I'll look at the ladies, sorry guys," he intro that made everyone laugh

The speech ended after five gruelling minutes. He can't stand flaunting his works and accolades in the industry for that longer. He planned to mingle with the people who presented him his award for just a few hours and head back to that party he left earlier. There's a lot of girls out there that needs his presence. He took some red wine to gulped down his hidden annoyance and pretend to lift it a little towards other familiar faces

"Excuse me, Mr. Roberts," a soft feminine voice tapped his shoulder from behind. He turned to see a gorgeously looking woman smiling shyly. The girl's sleepy eyes is hiding on a rimmed glasses but he can see the glint on her grey eyes and this is one heck of a bombshell in a fitting black turtle neck dress on a golden tresses. Better than the one he saw earlier at the party

"Well hello there," he loomed to see the tag name on her chest, "Tin, how can I help you." He grinned at the woman and she blushed for reply. Good, he might have still get lucky with this blonde.

"Ahm, your newly erected headquarters at the…." Did she said erected? He asked himself. "amazing" he caught that last word

"Yeah, it is, erected," he said bobbing his head

She lifted her eyebrow then continued, "Yes but that was last year"

"Last year, yes. You ahm, want erected buildings," he blurted. He didn't know what to say for the first time

"Well, I am, that's my work," she replied smiling shyly. God, the girl is beautiful. She clasps her two hands in her front with finesse

"You erect buildings?" he asked

She shook her head slowly, "No, I'm an architect. Well, I'm just started to be one"

"Wow, that's a glamorous profession I heard," he said as he drunk some of his wine

"Not all the time…. But I have a question regarding the building fenestration…." He almost threw all the taken wine at her statement, did she just said penetration? "Uhm, is there any problem Mr. Roberts?"

"A, well, you see I'm not really the one to ask regarding that kind of penetration," he uttered grinning

"Fenestration Mr. Roberts," the girl corrected

"Yeah fenestration. You can call me Luke by the way"

"Ok Mr. Luke"

"No, just Luke please," he said smiling and offered his hand, "I guess your whole name is Kristina?"

She shook her head politely and offered her hand, "I'm Christine, Christine Thomas"

"Nice hands," he said still inspecting and feeling the hand she offered, "smooth and soft"

"Thank you but can I have my hand back Luke?" she asked but forcefully pulled it instead of waiting for him to give it back. He instinctively curled that hand in a fist and took it on his mouth. Her scent lingered on his hand, lavander

He cleared his throat, "I'm sorry, how about we can talk about the building or anything over dinner?"

She looked at him, confused at his question, "You said you're not the one to talked about your building"

"Well, we can talk some things other than a building right?" he winked

She touched her glasses with her right hands and looked at his gaze, "I'm sorry I need to go Mr. Roberts excuse me"

"Wait!" he called and held her elbow to prevent her for turning, "I can set up a few calls on my architect so you can ask him about it"

"Really," she smiled widely at his statement, "I thought the architect is from Switzerland?"

"Yes, I could tell him that there's a young architect here in Johnson that's curious in his design."

"You can do that?" she inquired, "wait I don't think he will accomodate me I'm nobody"

"Of course he will, I'm his one heck of a magnate client he will never turn me down," he boasted

"Oh my….. thank you!" She exclaimed crossing her hands in front of him like praying

He grinned at the sight, "you can save you're number on my phone so I'll know which one to call"

She bobbed her beautiful head in excitement and took the phone he's offering
