Chapter 7 - 7. Can’t Escape From Me… (2/2)

”Hello Uncle and Auntie. How are you?” Vero asked them.

”Oh my God. You are looking so beautiful my girl.” Mrs. Smith exclaimed.

”Gosh!! You are lucky James that you got such a amazing daughter.” Mr. Smith said enviously.

”Ha ha ha. That's true Logan. I'm indeed lucky.” James said proudly.

As they were chatting, Logan's assistant came to him and murmured something in his ear. He also nodded back to him and excused himself from them.

When everyone was busy trying to make bond with other businessmen, a pair of eyes was looking intently at someone. Wherever the figure is going or whatever the person was doing, everything was being noticed by him. The man was entranced by the girl's beauty as he remembered that she hardly changed in all these five years except she became more graceful and mature.

As he was drinking his champagne, some businessmen tried to curry some favor from him through sweet talks but he was never giving them any attention instead his focus was lingering on one girl.

As he finally decided to go to the girl for their first face to face meeting after five years, his assistant called him.

”Boss, there is a bad news. Your grandmother has been hospitalized due to high blood pressure.” The assistant informed.

Alonzo sighed, ”Okay, I understand. Arrange my private plane to take off as soon as possible. I'm coming in half an hour.”

Cutting the call he once again looked at the figure and his jaw tightened in fury.

”Though we couldn't meet today, but that day is not too far, my darling. And then, you can't escape from me.” Saying this Alonzo left the hotel.
