At the other side of the party, Amanda was introducing Lisa and Matt to her celebrity friends. The two people were very excited as they met a lot of their favorite celebrities in one night.

Lisa kept drinking a lot and after a point Matt stopped drinking as he had to take care of Lisa.

​​

Unlike the party at Daniel's place, here there were a lot of strangers so he had to take care of Lisa and therefore he was being protective of her.

After a while, they asked Amanda to have fun with her friends and not bother with them. Amanda decided to let them be.

Lisa and Matthew then explored all the places where this party was happening. They went to the pool side, then they visited a few sculptures there.

Lisa kept drinking and was loosening herself.

"Matt, click a picture of mine with this statue, pleaseeee" She cutely pouted at him and made a request.

Matt couldn't help but smile at her cute gestures.

He gave in to all her requests and clicked her photos wherever she wanted.

After roaming around the whole place, they stopped at the food counter, where Lisa was telling Matt how much fun she was asking.

"You know what, Matt?" Lisa widened her eyes and asked Matt.

"What, Lisa?" He acted along with her.

"This is the best party of my life" Lisa loudly shouted attracting the attention of the few people around her.

The music here was not that loud, so everyone could hear when Lisa shouted in her drunken state.

Matt laughed hard as he was enjoying spending time with this fun Lisa. They took a few snacks and found a nice spot to enjoy their food.

"I never thought I would get to attend a party thrown by great Jack Nolan" Matt exclaimed.

"And I never thought the great Amanda Jones would be my friend," Lisa added.

The two people laughed and were eating their snacks, when someone interrupted them.

"Hi, may I join you two?" A hoarse voice was heard.

Matt and Lisa looked in the direction of the voice they heard. They saw one handsome, young man but they didn't recognize him as they never ever saw him before in their lives.

"Sorry, who are you?" Matthew asked him, alerted as he didn't feel it right to be approached by a stranger.

"I am her admirer" The man declared and sat next to Lisa.

"Hi, I am Ray" The man forwarded his hand towards Lisa.

"Hi Ray I am Lisa" Lisa brightly smiled and shook hands with him.

Matt didn't like this a bit and he shouted at Ray, "Hey, we don't care who you are, just leave and don't bother us"

"Are you her bodyguard?" Ray questioned Matt and ignored him, looking at Lisa, he said, "You are a beautiful woman. Did anyone ever tell you that?"

"No, no one ever told me" Lisa pouted and honestly replied to him.

On one hand Matt was pissed as a total stranger forcefully approached them and was flirting with Lisa but on the other hand, he couldn't help but smile as Lisa was cutely and honestly answering this stranger.

"What the hell, how can no one ever tell you how beautiful you are?" Ray asked her, looking astonished.

Matthew could see this guy was overacting, and he knows such men very well but when he heard Lisa's reply, he felt his heart wrench in pain.

"Haha, that's because my elder sister is more beautiful than me. If you see her, you too won't compliment me. She is ten times more beautiful than me" Lisa explained with a smile on her face and there was no sadness or envy towards Emily when she answered this stranger, which twisted Matt's heart harder as he realized she completely accepted this thing as a truth and believed it.

But before Matt could tell her how wrong she is, Ray spoke up, "I don't think your elder sister is more beautiful. You are the prettiest of all." He said seriously.

Matt was pissed at this guy but Lisa's laughter interrupted him before he could shoo away this guy.

"What a liar, you are." Lisa again laughed and looked at Matt, "Please tell him, he is a bad liar" Lisa couldn't stop laughing as if she heard a joke.

Matt suddenly held Lisa's face between his hands and made her look at him.

"I hate to accept this, but he is not lying. You are indeed more beautiful than any woman in this world" Matthew seriously said, looking straight into her eyes.

This time Lisa couldn't laugh it away like earlier as she could see sincerity in Matt's eyes unlike Ray's.

She was right, Matthew was indeed being honest. In his eyes, Lisa was indeed the most beautiful woman. He never understood how Steve didn't fall for her in spite of spending so many years with her.

Lisa felt like something weird was happening to her when she looked into Matt's deep eyes. She was not sure what it was and her mind was not in the state to understand or process anything, so she stayed still and kept looking into Matt's eyes, blinking her eyes in between.

"Umm, excuse me?" Ray tried to get Lisa's attention as she got distracted.

"Leave" Matt shouted at the Ray guy.

"Why should I? This is not your personal property" Ray fought back and stayed there, he then looked at Lisa, whose attention was back on him.

"Would you like to dance with me?" He forwarded his hand towards her.

"Sure" Lisa was about to hold his hand when Matt pulled her back and made her stand behind him, as if he was protecting her.

Ray was annoyed with Matthew, "Dude, what is your problem? Why are you meddling between us?" Ray questioned him, in frustration.

"I am her boyfriend" Matthew lied to get rid of this guy.

"No, he is not" Lisa answered Ray, from behind.
