Chapters 12.
"Miss Claire, Mr. Raven,” heard a voice of a woman calling them from behind.
Spontaneously, Claire and Raven turned their bodies around, looking at Caroline who was already behind them. Beside her, stood a beautiful woman in a sexy dress that made her look graceful.
“Include, this is Miss Vanessa, the singer who will sing for our hotel tonight,” Caroline introduces the person who is beside her. “And this is Miss Claire and Mr. Raven, the owner and director of this company,” Caroline pointed to Claire and Raven both staring at Vanessa.
“How are you?” Vanessa extends her hand to Claire. Claire welcomes Vanessa's hand.
“Good,” answer. Then Vanessa's hand moved to Raven. Raven greeted him and they mentioned each other's names.
“Thank you for coming to fill out the event at our hotel. I'm so happy to meet you in person, a very talented singer. I think the real person is more interesting than on television,”, Raven said.
Vanessa seemed blushed praised thus.
Claire chimed, “I agree with Raven's opinion, we're both your admirers. Raven always buys every new album from you.”
“Thank you for the attention,” Vanessa humbled. Inadvertently his eyes met Raven's eyes, and somehow his face suddenly turned sullen.
“It looks like the new show will start at seven in the evening. You still have time to get ready for a while,” Claire said as she resuscitated Vanessa.
It would be bad if Vanessa and Raven continued to hold such views. Moreover, he had never seen Raven staring at a woman with such a gaze.
“Okey, then I will go to the dressing room for a bit,” Vanessa said.
“Excuse me..,” he told Claire, Raven, and Caroline.
After Vanessa left, Claire said, “It turns out Vanessa was friendly and not arrogant, huh? She is a very famous singer.”
“It appears Mr. Raven is interested in Miss Vanessa,” Caroline joked.
Raven glanced at Claire for a moment then quickly turned her face away, avoiding the inquisitive gaze of Claire.
He doesn't know what to answer. To overcome his salting sense, he pretended to ask Caroline, “Has everything been well prepared and perfect, Caroline?”
“Already, Sir,” replied Caroline sure. “I have advised our employees to treat all guests who come as well as possible. There should not be any uncomfortable and unsatisfied feeling from the invitees at our company's anniversary event today.”
“Alright then,” Raven nodded, then invited Claire to greet the guests who started arriving.
They seemed to greet the known invitees and chatted for a moment while laughing, then moved on to another invitation.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere of the ballroom where the party was held that had been arranged so nicely and impressed luxurious it began to look crowded and lively by the guests who came, who came, but it all did not detract from their comfort, because the large ballroom was cooled by a blow of AC
After the ballroom was filled with invitations who came, the MC went up to the stage to give a welcome word, followed by Claire, Raven, and Caroline.
After that MC invited the invitations to enjoy the dish and entertained by the singer and dance.
When the atmosphere began to heat up, Vanessa also appeared on stage.
Of course the sudden presence of Vanessa made the invitees flabbergasted and spontaneously turned their eyes to the stage action of the famous singer.
His stunning voice and powerful singing technique, as if hypnotizing the audience not to stop looking at him. Vanessa is a really talented singer.
In one corner of the ballroom, Vanessa seemed to be serving a number of fans who were huddling her to ask for autographs and photos together.
Friendly, patient, and smiling, Vanessa served their request, not seeming the slightest bit tired on her face. He felt excited because the party event he was in was very lively and made him satisfied.
After the guests disbanded, and Vanessa's fans left, there were dozens of hotel employees who seemed to clean up everything in the ballroom where the party was held.
The atmosphere was a bit quiet, not as crowded as before. Raven walked up to Vanessa who was getting ready to return to the dressing room. Maybe to replace her stage costume with regular clothes.
“Hai..!” greet Raven.
Vanessa looked at him, smiled and for a while did not leave.
“Hai,” reply.
“Your show was really interesting,” praise Raven who stood in front of him.
“Thank you,” Vanessa replied.
“That's thanks to the services of the committee that has managed to organize this event. Otherwise, I certainly will not perform well,” he said low.
“You won't be leaving tomorrow right?” ask Raven.
“Not yet,” replied Vanessa. “I've been paid to fill events at this hotel for a week. I feel happy, because filling the event at this hotel is not so tiring for me, compared to the tour everywhere that lately very busy me. Counting for a week here, I can take a little rest.”
“Thank God then,” says Raven.
“I think tomorrow we'll meet again. I'd love to be able to exchange ideas with you during this week. Do you mind?”
“Of course not,” replied Vanessa.
“Then I was acquainted with you, I've assumed you were a friend. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go to the dressing room for a while,” Vanessa said goodbye with a friendly smile.
“Please,” Raven gave way and stared at the departure of Vanessa who had made her curious since.
“You don't want to go home yet?” ask Claire who knows when she's been near Raven.
Raven looked surprised to be addressed like that, yet she nodded as well,
“Already,” answer. “We are both yes?”
Claire nodded.
“Where is Kyle? I haven't seen him since?” raven asked as she and Claire walked side by side to get out of the hotel and into the car park.
“Kyle has been home since,” Claire replied. “I told him to go home first, because I said I would come home with you later,”.
