And just when theirl-ips were about to t©uçh, she felt something sharp pierce her by the side.

Harold noticed her movement suddenly st©pped and he could hear her gr0@neven throu-gh the music.

“What’s wrong?” He panicked looking into her dull eyes.

“I..i ” She swallowed h@rd and started breathing fast.

“Irene” Harold j£rked her.

He was glad no one seems to notice what was going on.

“I’m fine” Irene said.

“Should we go home?” He asked and she shook her head.

Her eyes were still looking so dull, like she’s in pains.

“What happened?” Harold asked worriedly.

He held her ti-ghtly,afraid she might fall.

“I..i think someone hit me by the side” Irene lied. Someone hadn’t hit her, she had been to

pierced with a very sharp object and now she could feel she was bleeding from the side.

She thanked her stars she was putting on a red go-wn.

She couldn’t let Harold know or he would make them leave the p@rty immediately.

“Let go sit” Harold said and she quic-kly nodded.

She was starting to feel weak and she held her side ti-ghtly as Harold gently led her to their seat.

She wondered if someone had deliberately pierced her side.

Had it been a mistake? Or probably one of the pins on the ladies cloth had struck her by the side.

The piercing had just felt like it was a nee-dle piercing but it affected her badly.

“Can i get water?” She asked Harold, trying to make her voice steady.

Harold gr@bb£d a gl@ss cup from the tray and poured some water for her.

She gulped it down her throat and the pains relieved her a bit..

She asked for more and Harold gladly poured more for her.

“Are you sure you’re fine? We can go home if you’re not feeling so well” Harold said.

“No, I’m fine” Irene smiled.

She felt relieved after gulping the water.

She t©uçhed her side and almost winced in pain.

It’s hurting badly.

“You can return to the dancefloor, any lady would gladly dance with you” Irene said.

She can’t deny him of enjoyment just because she was feeling down.

“No, I’m fine here with you” Harold said.

“No, you c@m£ to this p@rty to have fun, i can’t kill that fun just because I’m not feeling too well. Just go enjoy yourself” Irene said.

“I’m fine here with you Irene” Harold said.

“No, it’s ma-king me feel guilty for depriving you of your fun”

“I don’t…” Harold was saying.

“You want me to feel guilty?” Irene interrupted him.

“No” Harold said.

“Then go dance, plea-se” Irene insisted.

“And i even wanna visit the restroom” Irene added.

She nee-ded to was off the blood by her side.

“I actually don’t feel like dancing anymore, it doesn’t mean I’m not having fun. I am, merely looking at those on the dancefloor” Harold said and Irene sighed.

“Don’t feel guilty okay?” He said and she nodded.

“So, where’s the way to the restroom.” Irene wondered looking around.

“I’ll come with you” Harold said.

“Huh?” Irene asked.

“I mean I’ll show you the way” Harold said.

“Ohh… okay” She said and they both stood up.

“You’ve been there before?” Irene asked as Harold knowingly led the way.

“Yeah, I’ve been here for several businesss meetings” Harold said.

“Ohh…” Irene said,glad Harold was walking ahead of her.

She got the chance to peep at her side and she could see how soa-ked her dress was.

“Wow” she mumbled to herself.

“Thank you” She said to Harold when he showed her the restroom.

She walked in and shut the door after her.

Her next move was looking at her reflection in the mirror.

She glanced at her side and shook her head.

She never thought she’ll leave this p@rty with a wound.

She slowly pu-ll-ed her go-wn and finally had a clear look at her side.

The wound is so tiny, and it looks de-ep..

Definitely it hadn’t been an accident!

If it was, it would have just been a scratch but this is so de-ep which clearly shows that someone had indeed pierced a sharp object in her side.

Could it have been Ethan’s b©dyguards?

No, she saw no b©dyguard with him.

Could it have been Ethan himself.

And what was she about to do with Harold before the incidence?

Gosh!

What the hell is going on with her?

**

Irene walked out of the restroom after she was done, she glanced around for Harold but couldn’t find him.

She saw a lady resting on the wall beside the restroom,she was surprised cause she hadn’t even noticed the lady who was standing so close to her.

Her dinner go-wn was black with silver glitters all over it, her make up looks pretry heavy just like the other ladies in the p@rty.

Their gazes locked and Irene could tell she looks familiar.

Why’s she standing here alone?

Well…she might be waiting for someone.

Irene turned to walk away when the lady spoke up.

“Hey!” She said and Irene turned back to her.

“What?” Irene asked.

“I’m Tanya, the owner of the biggest fashion store in the city” The lady said proudly.

“Ohh…” Irene smiled, no wonder her face looked familiar. She had seen her on countless fashion magazines.

Only the rich patronizes her cause her wears are damn expensive.

Irene do hope to have a fashion store as big as Tanya’s one day but she’ll make sure the less privileged can afford her wears.

“W..what can i do for you?” Irene asked.

“I made most of the dresses the ladies are putting on right now”

“So?” Irene asked.

“How dare you come into this p@rty to show off your cheap wear!” Tanya said furiously.

“Excuse me!” Irene said.

“What are you saying? I should have come to the p@rty n@ked?” She asked Tanya.

“That isn’t what i mean! If you dare attract my customers with this cheap wear of yours, i swear down I’m gonna ruin you. Getting pierced by the side is just a warning” Tanya seethe.

Irene

looked shocked as she watched Tanya walk away.

“Oh..no” She mumbled after some seconds.

She was trying to get the words into her head when Harold appeared.

“Are you okay?” He asked and she nodded, still in shock though.

“Ohh..you must have been waiting for me, i also visited the restroom” Harold said.

“Ohh.. okay” Irene said slowly.

“Are you okay?” Harold asked again.

“Sure” Irene said.

___

They were on their way home by two am.

Irene relaxed in the limo with Harold beside her.

“Thanks for coming with me” Harold said.

“My plea-sure” Irene smiled

“I hope you had fun?” Harold asked.

“Yeah, so much fun” Irene said.

She couldn’t tell Harold she was threatened .

And he didn’t even know about the wound by her side.

It’s hurting terribly, she’ll nee-d to visit the hospital tomorrow.

“Your dress is so beautiful, you’re one of the best fashion designer i know. Why didn’t you showcase this gift of yours? You would have made hvge amounts of money,most Ladies love beautiful things” Harold said.

“Well… since my father’s death, i didn’t even make any move to continue sewing and designing clothes and i sold the only machine we had. I don’t even know how to go about the ladies i gave my contact to” Irene sighed.

Remembering Tanya’s words brou-ght a ache to her heart.

“We’ll know how to go about it okay, don’t bother about that” Harold said, having his plan alre-ady.

“Okay”

There was silence afterwards and they both stole glances at each other.

“I’m sorry, couldn’t resist anymore” Harold said and the next second, hisl-ips were tou-ching Irene’s.
