The Secret Admiral (#2 The Secret Series)
Chapter 24
Daniel enters a Victorian house that is transformed into a party place of the top superpowers. The brilliance of the lights made the magnificent house look even more magnificent, the reporters crowded behind chains that bound them with the guests, he said, the organizers even held a red carpet to honor the guests who could not be said to be mediocre, they came with their best clothes, he said, make Daniel a little think this is a charity party or a show off their wealth?
Not minding the screams of the few reporters who asked questions about him he kept walking over to the crowd, his eyes looking for the figure from earlier made him worried. A few people who recognized him invited him to a conversation and only in the name of politeness did he speak a little trite talk with them but his eyes still combed the room and finally he could breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the girl the red-haired man who looks very pretty in his red dress is not far from him accompanied by his best friend Gerard who also looks handsome in a dark blue suit, a white shirt and a striped blue tie. After saying goodbye to the people who had invited him to talk, Daniel immediately approached Kerelyn who immediately looked relieved when he saw her.
“Oh thank goodness, you have come,” Kerelyn said as she kissed Daniel's cheek who also kissed him.
“I'm sorry, I came as fast as I could,” he replied with a smile, he then turned his gaze towards his best friend and instantly his eyes turned serious, “Gerard, what are you doing here, he said, did Alex not tell you?” daniel asked in a whispering voice, to be honest he was surprised to see his best friend was here considering Alex had warned Dylan and Theo not to come to the charity party tonight, and he didn't think Gerard would be invited to the party.
“My company got an invitation and I was appointed as a representative, so this is where I am and Alex didn't tell me anything? I met him and he was like eating me alive when I saw me,” said Gerard who made Daniel take a heavy breath, he was about to open his mouth to explain his current condition when a glasses girl approached them.
“Daniel, how are you? Nice to see you again, it's been a long time since we met,” said the girl with a big smile as she shook Daniel's hand looking very surprised to see Sarah there, he looked at Gerard with glaring eyes but only responded to his friend with a sinless smile.
“Sarah, what are you doing here?” daniel asked with a smile trying to cover up his shock
.
“Well, Gerard asked me to accompany him tonight, so.. here I am,” Sarah said as she looked at Gerard happily, what made Daniel could only nod with a stiff smile until Kerelyn finally cleared her throat and regained consciousness.
“Oh, I'm sorry, I almost forgot.. Sarah this is Kerelyn Howard.. Kerelyn, she was Sarah Smith, our friend when college first.”
Kerelyn smiled as she shook Sarah's widened hand when she realized who was in front of her.
“Yes God, are you that Kerelyn Howard?” the question was in disbelief, which made Kerelyn laugh.
“Iya, I'm Kerelyn Howard, that one,” she replied that made Sarah sparkle.
“You are much prettier than on television.”
“Thanks,” says Kerelyn briefly.
“Gerard, can I talk to you for a minute?” daniel said it was more of an order than a question, which immediately got the approval of the bespectacled man. They walked away a few steps, with eyes still watching the two women who were seen only smiling stiffly at each other, Daniel began to whisper explaining the current conditions that made Gerard curse.
“Sial! Why didn't you tell me?” gerard asked a little disappointed that he was not involved in the matter this time.
“We only found out last night and we didn't think you'd come here..
“I believe I would not have brought her here if I had known what was going on,” Gerard said with a smile as he realized Sarah was staring at them.
“What are you guys dating?” asked Daniel was curious about his best friend's current status, Gerard is a very attractive man physically equipped with genius, his glasses only add value to the man's charm, the man's charm, his sturdy jaw made him look right in with his slightly shaggy hair.
“Now, yesterday we had lunch together, only it was no more.”
Daniel nodded in understanding the condition of his best friend's relationship and they had just decided to return to Kerelyn and Sarah when suddenly Alex was confronted with a face full of anger.
“What the two of them are doing here!” Whisper Alex with a growling voice that makes Daniel and Gerard look at each other.
“If you mean me and Sarah, I don't know if it's like this and you don't even tell me,” said Gerard with a little emotion because Alex was like blaming himself for being there.
Alex looked at Gerard for a moment before he finally shook his head, “Not you guys, but they!” alex exclaimed in a whisper while giving a sign with his head that made Daniel and Gerard turn his gaze to the other side and immediately both cursed.
“What the two of them are doing here!” this time Daniel was growling and his eyes could not be separated staring at his sister and cousin who looked beautiful in their respective dresses.
“Listen, I leave them to the two of you, get out of here as soon as the show starts... leave secretly or find any reason.... do you understand?”
Daniel and Gerard nodded in understanding the intervention Alex gave before the now sexy and dangerous man with a sideburn covering his jaw and his long hair neatly pigtailed with sharp eyes left both because of him didn't want the host to find him talking to them.
“You stay with Kerelyn and Sarah. I will bring the two brats here,” said Daniel as he walked over to Alexa and Raina who were laughing because they listened to jokes from men who daritadi tease them.
“Daniel, what are you doing here?” alexa asked as she hugged her sister then whispered, “You have to save us, the joke is terrible.”
“Of course I came because I got an invitation..Excuse me gentlemen may I borrow my sisters for a moment?” ask Daniel who inevitably agrees with the men Daniel knows as rising young executives.
“Thank God you came, we will die of boredom because of their jokes,” Alexa said after they walked away from the men.
“How can you two be here?” daniel asked as he continued walking towards Gerard and the others.
“Well, do you remember my friend Caroline? The model I introduced to Alex a while ago?” Daniel nodded in response, “He got the invitation, but he went to Milan this morning so he gave the invitation to me,” explained Alexa casually, in contrast to Daniel who could only waste a heavy breath because he realized how many coincidences made them gather here.
“What are you guys doing here?” gerard asked impassively after the three of them joined him.
“Cooking,” Raina replied briefly which made Gerard frown.
“Do you work side by side in the section ketering?” his curious question made Daniel roll his eyeballs.
“Man, that's right, do you think they're working on the top of the line with clothes like that?!”
Gerard realizes her stupidity after staring at the two of them from top to bottom, Raina looks sexy in her red long dress that has a sabrina neck piece that shows her smooth shoulders, alexa also looks beautiful with black sleeveless dress with shanghai neck shape.
“You look amazing tonight,” praise Kerelyn after noticing the appearance of the two girls.
“Thank you, you also look very beautiful,” praise Alexa with a smile.
A waiter in a white uniform with a silver tray came up to them to offer them a drink that everyone immediately welcomed. Daniel and Gerard looked on alert looking around, while the women who knew nothing looked relaxed late in the conversation.
“So you guys just came together?” Kerelyn asked who answered the mysterious smiles of Alexa and Raina.
“Iya, of course, we are planning to find a date here, I heard this party is realized by great people, who knows we found a soul mate among them.”
“You do not be fooled, they can only look successful but not necessarily good,” said Daniel while watching the figure of Simon Javier who was traveling to greet the invited guests.
“Yeah, you're right, but I'm sure there's someone in this room who will meet our taste buds, right Rain?”
“You are right, just don't be Superman,” said Raina who makes everything look confused why he suddenly called Superman.
“Of course.. don't be Superman,” Alexa said while nodding seriously.
Gerard was about to open his mouth when suddenly someone came up to them all and made Daniel immediately stand beside Kerelyn possessively.
