The Game Is On

Chapter 5

"That was exhausting," she finally breathes out as soon as they got to the main hall,

"You know, this is part of the job, getting used to the camera?" He added in sort of a subtle way,

"I know that it's just that.." 

"Mr. Yoshida, what a pleasant surprise!" He cut her short walking away, to greet a certain old man whom she guess has much influence as he does in the business world,

Feeling bad, she turned, everyone was busy with a certain someone but she was lost, this was not her kind of setting, not at all,

"That's a pretty rude way to cut a lady short." A voice spoke behind her, she turned abruptly to see who spoke, and was certain it wasn't her Boss,

"Hi," she gave a small smile giving away her attractive dimples,

"Hi, you're?" He looked at her for a while,

"Amelia Earhart. You probably do not know that name." She stated,

"Hmm, nice. I'm Dave Ramsey. A representative of the Benjaminz Cooperation." Hearing the word Benjaminz cooperation, her ears clicked, is this the guy she was to haunt down? He seemed too nice to have an issue, then her sixth sense told her,

"He said, representative." She gave a small smile, " why isn't the boss here with you?" Looking at her Innocence, Dave could guess she was one of his die-hard fans, if he knew he was totally wrong and Amelia was the last thing Henry would need but fate decided to play along with his games.

"He's resting and won't be able to join us until tomorrow after the first session." He explained she jots down her memory, just then as she was about to extend her hand to end the conversation, Greg sighted her from afar, a small smirk more evilly appears on his face,

"She's good." He muttered to himself, the. Face the table filled with boring old men from his father's days.

Alright, then I'll catch you later," he says to her, she gives a small nod with a warming smile.

"Bye," watching him walk away, the loneliness consumed her again, she looked over at the table Greg was at, he was immersed in whatever they discussed, this was not her place, walking over to the counter, she ordered a cup of apple juice, she was not ready to ruin this night with her super low tolerance for alcohol, taking the drink with her she walks away clutching her purse to herself, she went over to the side of the room only to find a couple making out, 

"So sorry," she walked away feeling embarrassed, with a drink in her hands, she found her way to the back, where a few houses where sim guests had stayed, the environment gave a calming moment,

"What's a beautiful lady doing here?" A man walked through the dark" She was unable to decipher who was, but from his voice, she could tell it was a man,

"Who are you? She asked clutching her drink ready to pour if there was a foul attempt.

"Relax ok? Nothing's happening," he says in-between laughs, for some reason, she felt she had heard that voice somewhere, and when he drew close, the cologne he had on hit her, 

She knew this same person,

"Don't be ridiculous, he's not the only one who uses this same cologne." Her subconscious mind tried to defend her thoughts,

Though it was dark, she was able to see his chisel chest and muscular build. He was sexy just by looking at his silhouette.

"Can I join you?" He asked, she nodded absentmindedly,

"Sorry, I feel like I've met you somewhere?" She couldn't hold it any longer,

"Me? I doubt it." He responded calmly, but her mind was in chaos right now before she could utter another word, her cell phone rang, it was Greg calling, she immediately picked it up,

"Where the heck are you?" He sounded upset,

"Sorry, I just went out to get fresh air," she stuttered the abruptly stood up turning to the guy she is yet to see his face,

"We'll talk later," she then left, shortly Dave walked,

"And who was that?" Dave's face with a smile,

"Someone that reminds me of her," she stated still with a smile,

"Ok ok, I doubt if she matches the lady from later" he added, Henry turned to him,

"Dave?"

"I'll feed you the news later, the announcement is about to begin"

Seeing Greg with his brows arched in a form like he'd hit her any moment, if not this was a public space, his displeasure was instantly noted,

She stood next to him, the host climbed the podium,

"Welcome you all to this annual seminar, hosted by credible sponsors from all over, and it's with great pleasure to announce that there are ten companies and their representatives present on the ground and I'll like to call them for a proper accolade."

"Representatives from the kool aids are present here," everyone clapped as the chairman stood up,

"Representatives from the Huna Group are here,"

And finally one of our sponsors and representative present, Mr. Henry Benjaminz CEO of Benjaminz Cooperation!!!" The crowd clapped as he stood up walking to the podium, at one glance, she finally remembered the face of the one person that ruined her life, what the hell was he doing there, the sour look on Greg's face did not go noticed by her, then he said her,

"That is the man," fury filled her eyes, this was the same man she had been cooking her revenge plan, 

"The same man?" She looked at him, with contempt, never in her life had she had this type of silver lining to take in both revenge and wealth at the same time. Seeing him stick out his head with many egos made her hate him the more, she was going to show she was not the weak 19-year-old he tossed under the bus three years ago with this new plan, she turned to Greg,

"The Game is on," a wild smirk appeared on her face, making Greg wonder what was with the sudden drive, but he was loving this.
