The party was very luxurious. Mr. Wesley has spared no expense because of the success of the business deal with Tristan.

Mrs. Wesley had ordered these wonderful flower arrangements and had them meticulously placed around the house to beautify and enhance the ambiance.

​​

She was a very clever and sensible woman, and it was reflected in the decor and food for the party. Being a top model in her younger years, she had always been stylish and classy.

Mr. Wesley loved and pampered his wife in all the years of their marriage, which made it possible for Ava and Sara to grow up in a warm and loving family.

Mrs. Wesley dressed elegantly, which made her look younger than her age. As they milled about together with their guests, one can see that this couple really complimented each other.

Tristan made sure to wear his best suit, so Ava would notice him, and as soon as he got to the party everyone's attention was on him.

Mr. Wesley welcomed him personally into their house, it was rare for him to have a representative of the Aristocratic families visit their household, so they made sure that Tristan was well cared for and entertained.

Mrs. Wesley told the servants to offer him some refreshments, but Tristan declined. He walked around and talked to Mr. Anderson and the other important businessmen that were invited, but his eyes were always searching for Ava. He wanted to get it over with, so he could be with her. She was the reason he came to this party anyway.

When he got a break from the conversations he went in search of her, not seeing her in the main areas of the house, he went upstairs and tried to look for her bedroom.

Ava was taking time to get ready because there were too many choices. She had her own walk-in closet that her mom had stocked with designer clothing, and she ended up choosing a pink lace dress that had a chiffon skirt. For her accessories, she chose to wear her diamond earrings and bracelet.

Tristan was walking down the hallway when Ava came out of her room. It had been several days since he'd seen her, and it felt like he was seeing her again for the first time. He was captivated by her beauty once again.

As she closed the door, she noticed him. "Tristan...you're finally here," she said happily as she walked towards him.

Tristan smiled, her pink dress made her look more delicate than before. It made her look like a life-sized doll, and the diamonds she wore sparkled just like she did.

When her black jet hair was behind her ears, the diamond earrings she wore looked like stars twinkling in the night sky.

"I was waiting for you," she said enthusiastically.

"You were?" Tristan questioned. He did not know that his little one was waiting for him. His heart skipped a beat, it meant a lot to him that she wanted him to be here tonight.

"Yes, I did very well in exams. All thanks for your concise explanation to answer all my questions. It was easy for me to answer all the questions in the exam," Ava declared.

"I knew you were going to perform well," Tristan said.

"Yeah, I am so intelligent right?" Ava self-boasted.

"Yes, you are," Tristan stared at her intently. He looked like he was going to say something else, but the look he gave her made her blush.

Tristan chuckled, and Ava blushed a little more.

"I helped you score very well in your exams, so how are you going to thank me?" Tristan asked. He was a capitalist and never missed an opportunity that would benefit him.

"I'm not sure. Tell me, what did you have in mind?" Ava said eagerly, she did not know what gift to give someone who was already rich that he could afford everything? Not having any idea, she just asked him directly,

"I want to take you out for a whole day," Tristan said.

"Oh yeah? Where are you taking me?" Ava asked. She did not mind going out with him because they've gone out several times, so she's gotten comfortable having him around.

"It's going to be a surprise," he said, not bothering to explain further. He thought that this would be a good time to confess since she was comfortable around him, and there was no time to waste.

She just finished her exams and would be having a holiday, so he planned everything perfectly. He planned to propose to Ava in a very impressive manner. She would be mesmerized and would agree to his proposal, and just thinking about it made him very happy.

"Okay, let's go down to the party, the guests are waiting," so they both went downstairs where the party was in full swing. Her parents introduced her to a few guests, but as usual, she felt very shy, so she stayed mostly on the sidelines. If Sara was here, they'd be mingling since she was usually the center of attention.

Tristan's attention was never far from Ava even though they went their separate ways, his eyes followed her wherever she went. What he really wanted was to have her beside him during the whole party but he knew that was not possible, not yet.

He decided that when he starts hosting parties after they get married, Ava will always be beside him.

On one the other side of the party, Mrs. Wesley and a few of her friends were gathered in the corner exchanging stories and the latest news.

"Mrs. Wesley, your youngest daughter looks very beautiful today, but I did not see Sara," said some businessman's wife.

"Thank you! Sara is busy with her photoshoots and she said she won't be here until next month," Mrs. Wesley said. She felt proud when other people praised her daughters, after all, they were her pride and joy.

When she was younger everyone praised her for her good looks, and with god's grace, both her daughters turned out to be very beautiful.

"That's good. I saw Sara's latest ad on tv."

"Oh but she needs to be careful, the entertainment industry can have its bad side."

Each of them had something to say.

"My Sara works hard and knows how to take care of herself, she will be okay, thank you for your concern," Mrs. Wesley replied but deep inside Mrs. Wesley was also worried about Sara. Her daughter was very brave, but sometimes very rash as well, she usually forgets her manners when she gets angry and just speaks her mind.

She never failed to call her daughter to ask about her wellbeing and her whereabouts, her only complaint was that Sara rarely comes home.

"By the way, what is your younger daughter Ava going to pursue after college?" someone asked.

"Ava has not decided, but we will be okay with whatever she chooses," Mrs. Wesley said.

Her husband wanted their oldest daughter Sara to join the business, but she instead became a model. They know Ava cannot handle the business since she was not outgoing and assertive like Sara, she would not be able to survive in the business industry. So it will fall on Sara's shoulder to take care of their business or it could be their future son-in-law when they get married.

Ava had always been pampered since she was a kid, and they were okay with whatever she wanted to do.
