“Excuse me” Regan said and took Diana away, the rich scion put his hand in his pocket, and sip the glass of wine in his hand, staring at Diana with mixed emotion.
Olivier was tensed, the moment he set his eyes on Regan “Duke, come over here, what took you so long” she said, exasperated, she walked briskly towards Regan, and grabbed his wrist, and steal him from Diana.
Diana glared at the back of her sister, her clenched her fist, and her nails dug into her palm, “excuse me…”
“Sorry” she apologized, and turned around, Philip was stun to see a pretty lady in the mansion.
She tried to get away quickly, the presence of Philip irritate her, Philip took interest in her, he reached out for her arm.
“Pardon my manners, I have never seen such a beauty like you…”
Diana cut in rudely “pardon me, Mr. Philip, today is your engagement party, and you are here, saying all these to me, what do you think your wife reaction will be, if she knew this”
Philip's face darkened, he would have lied but, he doesn't know who the young lady is, when, Diana finished speaking, she decided to walk away.
She exhaled in relief, Philip's assistant came to him “I want you to find out about that young lady” he instructed him, his assistant nodded and walked away, trailing Diana.
While Regan was with Olivier, she looked worried, “how did it go? I am just having little news about what I told you to do” she lamented, feeling frustrated.
Regan sighed heavily “Miss, I did what you asked me to do, I didn't know how they find out about it, I ran into Diana and the strange man” he responded.
Olivier face darkened, she was displeased “you can't even do a little thing like that, just create a scene,
and make sure she is roasted online, you made a mess of the whole thing, and even made her more popular” she lashed out at Regan.
The door opened, and a servant came in without knocking, “and who the fuck are you? That you refused to knock before badging in?” Diana reprimanded her furiously.
“I am sorry, Miss, your mother said I should bring you with immediate ala…”
Smack!
Olivier palm connected to her cheek, “idiot! Get out of here” she yelled at him, the servant quickly scurried away, wailing, Regan clenched her fist, and the thought of disgracing her, crept into his mind.
Olivier turned to Regan, with a fierce look, “what are you standing there for? Go get what I asked you to do, done, or, I am going to kick you out of the company” she threatened.
Regan bowed and walked out of the room, he sneaked out of the mansion, and emerged at the backyard, he went towards the fence, and transformed to a very handsome man.
He came out, and met a little social circle of six ladies, the moment they set their eyes on Regan, they gasped for breath.
Regan ignored them and walked towards where the party was going on, Diana was looking around, she was tired of telling her admirers to back off.
She pouted her lips, and the thought of going in to search for Regan cross her mind, “may I join you?” a voice said, close to her ear.
Her body tingled, and she felt butterflies in her tummy, her face blushed lightly, Regan sat on the empty chair.
Diana was surprise that Regan has transformed, wondering what the plan was.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to begin the party, you are welcome, the circles live on” the man announced and walked away.
Minutes later, the music been played in the background, was lowered, and the two couples came out, escorted with Mr. and Mrs. Hanson, the Orchard family also joined them.
Diana clenched her fist when he saw her grandfather, Westley, stood on the stage with them, with a big smile
“I am highly honored that all of you take out your time, to grace this important event by the Westley family” he said.
Diana and others stood on their feet, Regan leaned towards her “I will join you soon” he whispered, before walking away.
“I welcome you all, to my daughter's engagement party, my other daughter, Diana, ask me to send her heartfelt gratitude” he continued talking, Diana was angry after hearing that.
Regan hid a corner, and brought out bees from his dimension pocket, he chuckled, and sent it towards the people at the stage.
When the buzzing bees fly towards them, they were all in disarray, “what is that? How did the bees get in here?” the old man of the Westley was agitated at the sight of the bees, he has phobia for them.
The guards tried to look for a way to stop them, but it was too much, as they buzzed towards them in their numbers.
The old Westley had a heart attack, and slump, but Mr. Hanson grabbed him, preventing him from falling on the floor.
Diana's heart twitched “Dad!” she called out unwittingly, one of the young scion trying to court her, looked at her, he has heard of the Wrestvel flower, the daughter of the Westley.
But, he never believed that she could be breathtaking pretty, worry creased Diana's face, she wanted to go there and help the Old Westley.
Regan recalled the bees, “Dad, please, help!" Hansom shouted at the bodyguard standing close, they help take the old Westley out of the stage.
“Call the ambulance” Mr. Hanson yelled at his daughter, the party was in commotion, Philip sighted Diana, and tried to get away from the family.
Diana peered her head towards the direction of the Westleys, but, the number of bodies, covering her eyesight, prevented her to see what was going on.
She felt someone closing in on her, she turned around and saw Philip, to her surprise “here is my number, we will talk when you call me” he pushed in a complimentary card in her palm, and walked away briskly.
