Attend the Party
Callista stared at the mirror; she was wearing a maroon-colored dress. The x-straps dress made her beautiful curves look perfect. Callista put on thin makeup; she curled her hair to make the long neck look so beautiful. She also wears diamond jewelry to make her look even more perfect, but not too much.
Today, Callista is forced to accompany Daniel. According to a request of Daniel Renaldy, who had trapped her. Yes, this made her unable to turn him down a request from the hospital owner where she worked, And it was Callista's first time going to a party with a man. Because of all this time, she has been attending parties with Jessica or with Olivia more often.
The ringing of the cellphone was heard; Callista picked up the cellphone on the table. She frowned when she saw the unknown number sending the message. Callista swiped the screen to open the message from the unknown number. Then, she read it right away.
I'm in your apartment lobby; I've only given you five minutes to get off. I don't like waiting. – Daniel R.
Callista grunts when she reads the message, apparently from an annoying man who forces her to join the party. She grabbed her bag on the table and stepped out of the apartment. If he hadn't owned the hospital, she would have hit the man who forced her.
In the lobby, Callista saw a black Bugatti Veyron car. She looked at the men's wear a tuxedo, making him so handsome. She had to admit that he was handsome and had a body that women liked. Callista walked towards Daniel, who was standing beside the car. Without she realized it, he smiled slightly at her appearance tonight.
"You're a minute late," said Daniel coldly when Callista was in front of him.
Callista grunts annoyance. "Don't you know I live on the eighth floor? Do you think I should jump from the eighth floor?"
Daniel held his laughter to hear this woman in front of him, grumbling. "You better come in. I don't want to be late."
Callista nodded. She got in the car. Seeing her coming in, Daniel also went straight into the car. He turned on the engine and stepped on the gas. Now Daniel's car starts walking away from Callista's apartment lobby.
"Mr. Daniel, you told me that your assistant would pick me up. Why did you pick me up?" Callista had been curious. Because the last time he said that the one who picked her up was his assistant. But now, it's Daniel who picked her up.
"Call me my name. I don't like you calling me, Mr," replied Daniel flatly. His gaze remains focused forward without even looking at Callista.
Callista took a rough breath. "I called you, sir, because you are the owner of the hospital where I worked. And I'm a doctor in your hospital!"
"Don't argue with me, Doctor Callista. Just call my name," emphasized Daniel. Don't want to be denied.
Callista sighed softly. "Okay, Daniel, now you have to answer my question why did you pick me up? Last time you told me your assistant would pick me up. " Callista asked again because she still didn't get an answer.
"I can do whatever I want," Daniel replied coldly.
Callista grunts; she immediately chose to turn her eyes out the window.
A short time later, Daniel's car starts to enter the Four Season Hotel parking lot. Callista was a little nervous because it's the first time she has gone to a party with a man. Daniel and Callista got out of the vehicle. She hugged Daniel's arm—they walked into the hotel lobby. But Callista's footsteps stopped when she remembered something.
"Daniel, wait," Callista restrained Daniel's arm so that the man would stop in his stepped.
Daniel turned his gaze and looked at Callista. "What happens?
"Is there be reporters at the party?" Callista asked carefully. Her face looked nervous and anxious.
"What's the problem?" Daniel frowned. He was staring confused at the woman standing beside him.
"I don't like being in the media spotlight," Callista replied, which was not entirely true. Apart from not liking the media spotlight, she also doesn't want her parents to see her going out with a man to a party.
"Take it easy; my business partners don't like it when the media cover their show," Daniel replied flatly.
Callista smiled with relief, this time calmer because there would be no camera beam. The thing she feared the most is when her dad sees her at this party. Moreover, She went to the party together with him. If Michael noticed, she was sure her dad would ask her a thousand questions.
Daniel and Callista continued their steps into the hotel. They headed to the hotel ballroom. A fancy engagement party was what Callista had in mind. With such a fantastic order. Sweetened lily flowers in every corner add to the accent of this party; it looks so beautiful. Not only that, it was the crystal decorations that made this party look so charming and classy.
Callista still to hold Daniel's arm. They now walk up to Daniel's engaged business partner.
"Mr. Daniel Renaldy," exclaimed Jonathan upon seeing Daniel in front of him.
"Mr. Jonathan, congratulations on your engagement." Daniel smiled thinly at Jonathan, who was now engaged.
"Yes, thank you, Sir; This is my fiancée, Anggy." Jonathan introduces his fiancée standing next to him.
Daniel nodded briefly. "And this is my girlfriend, Callista."
Callista was shocked. She stared at Daniel in disbelief. Her eyes rounded entirely when the man said she is his girlfriend.
"Your girlfriend is so beautiful," Jonathan praised Callista because, since then, Jonathan has not stopped staring at the brunette woman with blue irises along with Daniel.
Daniel flashed his smile. "I'm sorry I had to go see someone else."
"Yes, of course, Mr. Daniel. Thank you for coming. Enjoy the party, may you like it." Jonathan smiled.
Daniel nodded briefly, then hugged he was Callista's waist and left Jonathan.
Callista smiled stiffly. She didn't know what to say. It's not a matter of praise. But Callista still keeps thinking about Daniel's words saying she is the man's girlfriend. Oh, my God, a man named Daniel Renaldy made her lose her mind.
"Where are we going, Daniel?" Callista whispered in a low voice.
"We're going to my friend," replied Daniel briefly.
But when Callista was about to step up, she was surprised to see the same brunette figure like her. That woman is wearing a green colored dress. Callista stopped her move. She knew the woman's back very well.
"Daniel, I have to go to the toilet." Without waiting, Callista takes off her hand from Daniel's grasp. She walked straight to the toilet. Daniel was a little surprised to see Callista walk straight to the bathroom.
Seeing Callista walking towards the toilet, Daniel again steps closer towards Adam. Daniel sees Adam with a woman. He's sure the woman next to Adam is his best friend's girlfriend.
"Daniel, where's your girlfriend?" Adam smiled. The words implied mocking his best friend.
"Shut up! My girlfriend is in the toilet," replied Daniel coldly.
Adam shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "Well, I can't wait to see the woman you brought," said Adam, who couldn't wait to see the woman his best friend brought him. "Daniel, this is Jessica Hutomo, my girlfriend." he continued, introduced Jessica to Daniel.
Daniel nodded briefly. Jessica flashed a warm smile. The brunette is precisely the same as the woman he brought. It's just that Jessica has brown eyes.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Daniel Renaldy." Jessica greeted gracefully.
"Just call me Daniel," replied Daniel flatly.
On another side, Callista, who was inside the bathroom, locked the door tightly.
"Why are you here!" said Callista. She grew anxious and panicked when she saw Jessica at the party. It's silly; Callista can't meet Jessica because she doesn't want Jessica to ask much about herself and Daniel.
Callista adjusts her breath. She should have known from the beginning that Jessica would have come to this party. However, her family's company is lead by Jessica. Callista kept thinking about finding a reason to get out of the party. The smile on Callista's lips expands when she knows the way to get out of the party. Callista took her cell phone, and she texted Daniel.
My stomach was sick, I need to get back home. I'm waiting for you at the car park – Callista.
Callista smiles contentedly, and she returns to keep her phone inside the bag. Then she walked out of the toilet to the car park.
