The music played and all the couples moved with the rhythm.
She wasn't looking in the man's eyes or face but her head was bowed down.
"You look pretty tonight..." the second she heard the familiar and magnificent voice of the man, she raised her head quickly to see he was very own... "Stig..." she murmured and he smiled at her.
He was so handsome... she remembered she has seen him somewhere, he was perfection.
"What are you doing here?" she asked and he asked back, "What are you doing here?"

Amelia stood in front of the door of the suite as she waited patiently after ringing the doorbell.The person opened the door,his face astonished as ever."Can we talk?" she asked in a decent tone and the man was quiet for a whole second."What do you want? I don't want any troubles, now. I've been told to leave this city and New York, too," he said as he got seated on the sofa, opposite to her was the little girl."Mr Figaro... I have no money to go back to New York. And the people I came here with... betrayed me..." Amelia was just speaking when Figaro interrupted her by asking, "So, do you want me to lend you some money?""No. I want you to ask someone to give me a job in a night club.""As?" he crossed his legs, knee over the knee as he took a sip of his drink."As a waitress, of course," she replied positively."Why don't you ask Mr Valentino or Mr Black.

Thank her from my side..." with that she held her bag and walked to the door."Where are you going?" Hope asked and she paused, then spoke, "Out.''Amelia walked to the receptionist and asked for a cab while she waited in the lobby... she saw the Valenti
