My Little Sunshine

Chapter 273: The Dazzling Beauty In Black

Adam's awed expressions were soon replaced by a scowl as his eyes trailed down to her feet which were sporting a pair of low but thin, nude colored pump style heels. 

"What did I say about wearing heels?" He questioned her, clenching his jaw. The prominent veins on either side of his forehead were enough of a proof of his enraged state. 

"A big no-no." Stella replied to him meekly as she strutted closer to him. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she pulled his face down. "But these aren't even that high. They are barely three inches high." She pursed her lips together which were tinted with a dark maroon lip color. 

"You call three inches not that high?" He scoffed as he tried his best to not look at her face as she tried to look adorably pitiful. "What if you trip over? What if you slip? You do know that the entire hall is marbled. You even got them to polish it again to make it shine more." 

"You do have a point. But I know you will be there to catch me if any of that happens." She smiled at him before placing a light kiss on his lips. Before he could savour the feeling, she had already retracted her lips back. "No kisses for you until the event ends." She added with a wink. 

"Do I get just a kiss later on tonight?" His fingers which were resting on either side of her lower back, curled further, bringing her closer to himself as he questioned her. Long gone was his

"It depends how well behaved you act throughout the event." She replied to him, placing a kiss on his cheeks this time. "Let's go before we end up getting late for our own event." She grabbed his hand and started to drag him out of the room.

"Your event, not mine." He corrected her while letting her drag him out of the apartment. "I am just a measly little personal assistant." He added with a smirk. 

"Whatever!" She rolled her eyes at his remark, not bothering to turn around and grace him with an annoyed look. She only wished for the event to go well, without any unnecessary drama. But drama had its ways of finding her.

The see through cream and off-white sheets of fabric graced the walls of the hall as their lower ends were knotted together to form a pleated pattern along their entire length. Bunches of white lilies paired with blood red roses, sprayed with water droplets, rested in the crystal flower vases around each corner and at a distance of a couple of feet on wooden stands. 

One corner of the wide hall was occupied by a music band which was busy playing some light and mellow music for the guest's entertainment. Two huge golden chandeliers hung from the high ceiling, their droplet shaped crystals reflecting a golden glow in the surroundings, mixing with the white lights to provide a soothing atmosphere. Professionally dressed waiters were providing the arriving guests with the finest of German wines as they walked through the gathering people. 

Merely looking at how well organized everything was, one could presume that the amount of money spent to put this whole arrangement together was not a small figure. But who cared about the money being spent if the event belonged to one of the top conglomerates of Germany, Levinson's Corp. 

One after the other, high profile people came rushing in, including the finance minister of the country. Taking over an established company which dates back to a few decades, was no small deal even if the other company was in knee deep black waters. People knew that R&E Group of Companies would start doing much better once their operating system came under Levinson's Corp. Not only would it be good for the people working there, but for the economy of the country as well. 

Right before the entrance of the banquet, a large amount of people can be seen with cameras and microphones in their hands as they waited for the woman who has not only managed to run a business empire on her own, but was able to raise the value of the company's stock to the highest they had ever been. 

In between the flashes of camera and murmurs of people going around, a black Maybach came to a stop right before the entrance hall. A man got down the driver's seat and took a couple of steps back as he opened the door to the backseat with his head slightly bowed down and extended his hand other hand forward. A dainty leg came in view as the lady fixed it firmly on the ground, soon followed by the other. 

Taking the offered help, the lady got out of the car with her head held high. Even the blinding flashes couldn't make the woman flinch or even blink more than what was required. Shifting her eyes to the people who were getting eager to have a word with her, she gave them a polite smile along with a slight wave of her hand. 

The murmuring sounds dying out as she motioned them to stop. In her soft and tender voice, she began to speak. "It's good to have you all here. And I apologise that not every one of you could get an invite. The space inside is limited and the company could only bear to invite a few of the media houses. I will make sure that each and every single representative here will get a statement the company sent to your media houses by tomorrow morning. Thank you." With those words, the dazzling beauty in black walked away from the crowd which was held back by the security. 

Not wanting the event to be cramped up with people and the flashes of light, she had made sure to only put out an invite to the top media houses of the country, with the condition of no cameras or recorders allowed attached to it. They'd have to jolt down her every answer. And the rest of the people out here will be handled by the company's PR.
