Chapter 222: The celebration tonight (1)

At the vertex corps

Elaina and Mia entered the building, and asked the receptionist at the front desk about their appointment, the receptionist looked into the appointment list, greeted Elaina, and then said in Russian, "The C.E.O. Is still in another important meeting. Please wait for some time, you will be notified when he is free. Thank you."

Elaina and Mia looked at each other, and Mia said, "I will call his secretary," and Elaina nodded as she decided to scroll in her mobile. Mia excused herself to make a call and after five minutes when she returned, both she and Elaina spotted someone rushing towards them.

The man was in formal clothes and looked anxious. The receptionist who noticed the man immediately bowed and then said, "Good Morning, Mr. Borisovich," in Russian again.

The man nodded, giving the receptionist an anxious expression, but unfortunately, the receptionist failed to catch the meaning behind the expression. The man then turned towards Elaina and Mia, bowing, he said, in Chinese, "Good morning, Miss Song. I am David Borisovich, the head secretary. We are very sorry for not welcoming you appropriately. I apologize."

"It's ok," Elaina said as she still was expressionless as ever. The mysterious aura around her intensified.

The head secretary then said, "Please come this way," as he led Elaina and Mia towards the VIP elevator. The receptionist was dumbfounded at the scene that unfolded in front of her, the head secretory seldom came to welcome any guest like this, and from this, it looks like those were some very important guests.

The elevator took Elaina and Mia to the office-like room, which was luxurious and one wall of the room was transparent, it was made with glass, which allowed the person to see the beautiful scenery of the city, from so high.

The head secretary led them to the room, and then said, "This is the meeting room. The C.E.O. Will be done soon, he will see you in some moments. While waiting, here are some refreshments. Please enjoy," as a woman in formal clothes entered the room, holding the tray in which come refreshments were kept, they looked appetizing.

Soon the head secretary left the room, leaving only Mia and Elaina in the room. Elaina sighed, as she relaxed, the aura around had dropped, but her guard was still up.

"Can we just go home?" Elaina yawned, which surprised Mia, who said, "You are the one who wanted to come here, so now endure it."

Elaina looked at Mia and then said, "Do I look like I have another choice, Secretary Mia?"

In another room in Vertex Corps

In the room sat three people, at one side were two men and on the other side, there was another man. Out of the two men, one of them standing, while another one was standing. The atmosphere in the room was pleasant but at the same time, it was heavy.

"Mr. Erik, I am travelled all the way to Russia to personally present you these terms. It would be a dissapointment if I go back without signing the deal," a young man said in Russian but there was still a Chinese accent in his tone.

The person whom he referred to as 'Mr. Erik' said, "Mr. Li, I am very well aware of what you just said. I am pleased to have you here, the conditions that you have presented, are indeed impressive," after which he paused and then looked at the file in front of him.

After a moment he said, "Disappointing you was never my intention, thus, I accept the deal," and taking the file in front of him, with a pen, he signed the paper.

Seeing this, Mr. Li, said, "I hope we have a peaceful and pleasant collaboration, Mr. Erik."

Mr. Erik nodded and then with a smile, he said, "I too hope for the same, Mr. Li. Also, on the humble occasion, I would like to invite the C.E.O. Of the Li Corporation to the celebration of my twenty-fifth marriage anniversary, which will be tonight."

"Happy marriage anniversary, Mr. Erik. And sure, it will be an honor for me to join you at the celebration," C.E.O. Of the Li Corporation, aka, Li Wei said as he stood up to shake hands with Mr. Erik.

KNOCK

KNOCK

"Enter," Erik said.

Opening the door, the head secretary entered, he greeted Li Wei, and then, coming close to Erik, he said in the least audible sound, "Sir, Miss Song, from Song Industries is here."

"I am coming in a minute," Erik said as he excused the head secretary.

"Looks like I have another guest waiting for me. I will have to take my leave from here, Mr. Li. I will see you tonight, at the party," Mr. Erik said, as Li Wei nodded and then said, "Sure, Mr. Erik."

Li Wei, Mu Shufen, and Mr. Erik exited the room, all together. On the way, Erik parted from the group as he entered the room that came in the way. Li Wei and Mu Shufen were the ones to pass from the room when they heard a voice of a female.

Li Wei stopped in his tracks on feeling that the voice was familiar, to which Mu Shufen questioned.

"What happened, C.E.O.?"

"Nothing," Li Wei said after a moment, as he dismissed the thought and then started to walk again.

In the room, where Elaina and Mia were sitting, soon, Erik entered the room, knocking on the door. As he did, Elaina took off her sunglasses and then said, "Good morning, Mr. Erik."

"Good Morning, Miss Song. I am sorry, that you had to wait. Please take a seat," Mr. Erik said, as he shook hands with Elaina after which they both sat.

After an hour...

"Mr. Erik, you know, I traveled all the way to Moscow, just to sign this deal. It would be a dissapointment if I went back without gaining anything," Elaina said with a cold voice.

Mr. Erik by the sentence was taken aback, and he said, "It is amusing how, a client, from China, said the same thing to me, an hour ago. I think you both have the same way of choosing words."

"I will take it as a compliment, Mr. Erik. Now, if we can hear your thoughts regarding this deal," Elaina said to which Mr. Erik replied, "I am very pleased to sign this deal, with the Song Industries."

Listening to this, Elaina's lips curled into a smile, and she said, "Same here, Mr. Erik."

"At this, I would like to invite, Miss Song to the celebration of my twenty-fifth marriage anniversary, tonight. It would also be an occasion to celebrate our collaboration," Mr. Erik said.

Elaina said, "I would surely come to wish you and your wife a happy marriage anniversary. Now then, I will be taking my leave."

"Sure," Mr. Erik said, as he walked Elaina and Mia to the elevator, after which they were led by the head secretary.

After getting out of the Vertex Corporation, Elaina and Mia get into their car. "I don't have a dress, let's buy a dress for ourselves," Elaina said, after which they drove to a boutique that came under Song industries, managed by Iris.

Before getting out of the car, that had already reached the destination, Elaina made a call to Iris. After the call got connected, Elaina said, "Get me a dress, I need to go to a marriage anniversary party, the C.E.O. Invited me. I am currently at your boutique in XXX street, in Moscow."

"Wow! I thought you want to sign a business deal, looks like you are really enjoying yourself? Leave everything to me," Iris said, as she disconnected the call.

"Let's go," Elaina said to Mia, as they got out of the car, and then proceeded inside the boutique.

As they entered the boutique, they were welcomed by the manager and the other receptionist, it seemed like Iris had asked them to pay special attention to her. Elaina was lowkey impressed by the speed of Iris, and how she arranged the things.

"Good evening, Miss Elaina. Miss Iris had already told us about your arrival. She is on call and waiting for you in the VIP room. Please allow me to show the way," the manager said as she led Elaina and Mia towards the VIP room.

As they entered the VIP room, Iris appeared on the T.V. In the room, it seemed that Iris on a video call.

Entering it, Elaina said, "Oh my, I have been graced by Miss John's presence," with a smug laugh.

"Be grateful, that I am not there. Or else, I would have welcomed you personally, but don't worry, my subordinates will help you get ready," Iris said, as an evil grin came upon her face, and from that Elaina knew that she had made a mistake by asking Iris to help her get ready. 

Thus started the run for getting Elaina ready for the party.
