I turned and saw a guy around our age leaning to the wall beside me, he has light brown messy hairs, broad shoulders with slight tan musculine physique. I could only see his side view as he was not facing me but was looking at the sky.

He was wearing a white shirt and denim jeans. Overall he was looking good.

The guy noticed my stare and turned towards me. I noticed his facial features. He has refined jawline and dark grey eyes.

I don't know what to say so I said the first thing which came in my mind.

"Do you also like to do star gazing to calm yourself?"

He studied my face for a moment than smirked with some amusement filled in his eyes.

"I think we both have something in common." He replied indirectly.

He continued to stare at me. And now I was feeling awkward so I cleared my throat but he was still looking at my face as if enjoying my tensed state.

"Soo do we have met before cause I haven't seen you before?" I asked as I was confused, last time I remember he was not in our college or high school.

He looked at me for a moment and said-"I am Dimitri Martinez." He said while extending his hand.

I think I have heard this name before but where?

I shook his hand gently and spoke"Hi, I am Aveliene Lawrence".

"You have a nice name Aveliene." He said as if tasting my name on his tongue.

"Thanks ",I paused and spoke again" I think I have heard your name before do we have met earlier?" I said again still confused.

He smirked and said"No we haven't 'cause I would have remembered such a beautiful lady's face."

Hearing this heat rushed to my face.

"Have you heard about Mar Chains of hotels?". He asked.

I have heard about it on internet and newspapers. They are one of the most popular and expensive chains of hotels.

So I nodded.

"I am the sole owner of that chains of hotels and the Mar stands for Martinez." He said.

I was a little embarrassed as I didn't know him as he is also an elite but what could I say, my father don't involve me in business until this marraige and I was also not much interested in it at the first place.

"Please don't mind, I didn't recognize you"I said hesitantly.

"Never mind, now we have met personally and have become friends, so it's not a problem" He said in a smooth casual tone.

"Friends?" I asked.

"Oh look you know my name and I know yours, and even I know your father's as he have used my hotels for various business parties.And-" He paused and I nodded him to continue while giving a smile as he was stating a good point.

"And we both like watching the sky to relax ourselves,I think thatsall is necessary for starting a friendship, right?" He asked with a smile

"Yeah right, by the way . You could really convince someone without being impolite." I said at how easily he convinced me.

He came close to my ear and spoke in a low deep voice-

"Its a secret, but if you want to be at the top in business you need to have this trait, Miss Aveliene". He then shifted back while smirking. At my now tensed state.

We then went silent.

Suddenly! a voice broke the silence.

"I think you both have already met but still let me do my honors as the host." Ashton came and stood beside Dimitri.

"Dimitri, she is Ave my high school friend" He said while referring towards me.

"And Ave he is my cousin Dimitri" he said while referring towards Dimitri.

So he is a relative of Ashton that's why he is here but why haven't I have seen him before.

Ashton noticed my confused expression and spoke.

"Dimitri mostly travels due to business so he visits rarely and he just came yesterday only so I invited him" He said to which Dimitri nodded in agreement.

"Well intially I thought that all your friends are idiots but after meeting her I think some are interesting." Dimitri said while smirking with mischief in my direction. And I just averted my gaze as I could feel my cheeks heat up again.

Thankfully, Ashton spoke up breaking the awkward silence.

"Come on now, I am going to cut my favorite chocolate cake." Ashton said in a cheering tone. And left towards the cake where already everyone was gathered.

I laughed at his over excitement while Dimitri shook his head and spoke while looking in Ashton's direction" Don't mind but he is kind of a obsessed with chocolate"

"I could see" I replied while smiling.

Dimitri than turned towards me and spoke with mischief-

"let's go before he came back and dragged us." He then stepped aside and said "Ladies first" showing his chivalry and I nodded with a smile and then we went towards the cake.
