As Julius sat back down, he stared at the flashing hologram on his smartwatch. Every message or call will be directly connected to his watch as it has been set. This watch was connected to the cell phone he put on the table, and the hologram with the mysterious design made him feel a headache. Julius exhaled quickly, "This is an invitation," he muttered, immediately pressing the hologram icon. Instantly, a dinner invitation appeared with a series of neat and respectable sentences. The venue and dress code details had already been determined, and Julius was obliged to attend tonight.It was an invitation for those already considered to be influential. Important figures would be in attendance, with all those with invitations required to wear masks as disguises. No one was allowed to miss it because, perhaps, something shockingly extraordinary would happen there.Julius closed the messaging application he had been using, "Now, everything has started," he muttered heavily. He remembers t
Julius entered the main room of the dinner party. The sound of whispers and graceful laughter from the women and men could be heard from every corner. Welcomed by the soft music played by the reliable violinists. Every friction produced was able to entertain every pair of ears. Julius took a glass of wine offered by the waiter. They wore neat black and white suits with bow ties. They circulate among the guests, offering drinks and snacks politely.The guests seemed to be enjoying the party. The chatter about business flowed effortlessly. Everyone was used to this party, despite not seeing each other's faces. A secretive aura surrounding them all created a mysterious and interesting atmosphere. Although some of them, who did know each other, raised their wine glasses in greeting.Julius gently swirled the red wine before taking his first sip. The man observed the surroundings with a sense of awe. The hotel was luxurious and had been transformed into a charming space. "This place excee
"Have you lost your mind?" snapped the woman in a rage. She walked away from Julius and approached the man she had been arguing with. She angrily shouted, "Can't you see that he's just trying to help me?"The man in all white glared, "But he touched you, and I don't like my lover being touched by others. Don't you feel ashamed for making out with another man in front of your own lover?"Their voices went back and forth, shouting at each other in high tones. The man seemed unwilling to budge, even though the woman had explained that what she saw was not what she was accused of.The woman massaged her throbbing head, "This is why I want us to break up! You're so rude and insolent!" The woman's breathing sounded ragged like she had been holding in her emotions for so long.The man walked over, making her step back, "He touched you! Do you really like being treated like that by all men? You're my lover!" The woman didn't want to continue talking to this man, "I don't care what you say. I
Harris was already feeling humiliated by now. He gave Julius and Taylor a judgmental look, "You two are so insolent! This guy, he must be your lover, right?!" Hearing what Haris said, Julius was, of course, shocked. All of a sudden, he was accused of having an affair. In fact, this was the first time he had met the two of them in his life."You cheating woman! You're already in a relationship with me, but you're still dating another man! I really love you." Harris held his chest, acting like someone who was hurt. He even looked down in a hurt fashion.Now, Haris' face looked up, staring at Julius with hatred, "How could you have an affair with my girlfriend! You must just be taking advantage of her wealth and beauty, right? I know you're not sincere!"Julius winced, disgusted by this man's words. How could she possibly want to date a drama-filled man like him? Julius pulled Taylor a little so she would back away and keep her distance from her ex-boyfriend.Harris was getting angry, b
Julius and Taylor stood on the veranda for a long time. The air was getting colder, with the wind blowing so hard that the woman's long hair moved over her mask. Taylor was naturally annoyed, so she smoothed her appearance and faced the party's direction to block out the wind."I think we should go in," the woman said. Her eyes gazed inside, where people were beginning to gather in one spot. It was like they were waiting for something big to happen. Taylor remembered that there was a stage in the center of the room. And it seemed like they were all headed there.Julius turned around and looked where Taylor was looking. The guests moved like magnets, and Julius thought it was an excellent time to mingle again. After all, the air was also getting stale. Taylor was seen rubbing her exposed arms because of the dress the woman was wearing, which had a variation of thin and transparent fabric but was elegant at the same time.So, Julius nodded and followed where Taylor went. The two of them
Finally, Julius walked out of the luxury hotel. The show of wealth under the guise of a dinner party he had attended was over. Julius hurried back to his car. As it turned out, Jeff was already waiting for him, who had just opened the door so the Master could immediately sit in the car while resting.Julius pressed his stiff nape, massaging it a few times while closing his eyes. It was pretty tiring meeting so many people at once. Not to mention the small quarrels he was involved in, even though they didn't lead to his identity being revealed. Still, it was a bit draining for her. Moreover, the party lasted well into the night.Jeff looked through the windshield and started driving, "Did Master Julius enjoy the party?" he asked without any respect. The Royce Rover left the hotel courtyard, entering the highway with other vehicles without stopping tonight.Julius nodded. The man leaned against the back of the car seat before replying, "Yeah, not too bad."Jeff smiled a little, "I hope
Julius quickly turned around and found a short-haired woman standing behind him. She had beautiful emerald green eyes with a dazzlingly sharp nose. She was only up to Julius' ears in height, with dark hair framing her small face.Her knee-length dress was covered by a black leather jacket, with white medium-heeled shoes. The woman could briefly be said to be very beautiful. "No need. I'll get my wallet that I left behind." Julius tried to hold back and paid for it himself. But instead, the woman shook her head and paid for Julius' drink."Just one, ma'am," he said, accepting the item. The woman walked away with a bag filled with several things Julius hadn't seen.The cashier handed Julius his drink, and he walked over to the woman who had helped him. The woman walked out of the supermarket, her shoes tapping loudly in the quiet of the night.Jeff saw Julius coming out with the woman. He had to open the window slightly to confirm his vision, and Jeff didn't recognize her, "Who's out wi
The sky was evident today. Several birds can be seen perched on the branches of a shady tree that stands firmly near the lake. Sunlight bounced off the water, spreading like shining Gold. A few small birds flew over, creating a picture of a black past that flashed quickly.Julius walked with Jeff, feeling the cool breeze, whipping his black hair that was the color of night and making Julius feel the warmth of the ongoing summer. Pharae was quite remarkable, with a temperature of twenty-two degrees today.Julius paused for a moment and gazed at the calm water reflecting the mesmerizing blue of the sky. The clouds that walked together looked like a procession heading somewhere far away. Julius was still enjoying the serenity of the lake until Jeff spoke up first, "Master, what you said about the project from the clients has come to fruition." The man stood behind Julius obediently and respectfully. His appearance was still the same as before: a shirt, suit, and material pants. The man
