A white Limousin pulled over at the entrance of the party causing everyone to stare in awe. It was the limited edition and only two are available in the world. To see it show up this night caused everyone to turn breathless.

The media personnels and paparazzi all took their positions too capture whoever that own this beauty.

A pencil leather black high heeled show made from finest leather from her brand that reaches just below her knees, came out from the car causing everyone to gasp.

Looking further up, a brown tight fitting mini dress made from the best silk of high quality that showed her exquisite shape that stopped just above her knees glimmered in the light.

On her left hand, was a bag worth over five million US dollar which complimented her dress. Her hair was dropped down in the wavy style that touches her back.

She wore dark shades and on her face was simple yet professional and alluring makeup that defined her face in a very unique way. Her skin flawless and her lips tempting to look at.

She glanced around and smiled in satisfaction.

It was no other than, Laura Smith, the charismatic lady boss who could send New York crazy with one snap of her fingers. Her presence and aura send chilling feeling to anyone who comes in contact with her.

Just behind her, standing respectfully was Mark Williams, her P.A and secretary. He handed her her mobile.

"How many hours is this party?", Laura asked while glancing through her phone. They were still standing at the entrance of the party. Meanwhile, the media and paparazzi were already taking photographs of her.

"The main occasion is starting in the next ten minutes and it's going to continue till the next two hours. After that, there will be an after-party which will go on till late night.", Mark answered in one breath.

"Uhm, okay ", she replied, then turned to look at him "Let's go", she said and started moving.

Flash, flash. The media and paparazzi were still taking pictures. Just then, someone screamed, turning everyone including Laura who was still on the red run path to pause and look at where the noise was coming from.

A black Limousin, same edition as Laura's pulled up. It was the second Limo of that edition. Laura looked curious to know who owns the other car which made her wait.

A black shining shoe made out of crocodile's skin stepped down from the Limo.

A man putting on black suit with brown shirt inside that has two buttons left undone showing a bit of his fine hard structure chest that was white like snow, hands in pockets alighted fully from the Limo.

The once noisy entrance had now become silent like a graveyard.

Everyone was taking in details of this man in their head excluding Laura who just smirked in mockery and left for the hall.

Unknown to her, the man - Adam Drew, had already seen the mockery smug on her face and he also smirked causing the media to gasp.

"Who's he". Flash, flash.

"I've never seen him before"

"Is he from NYC"

"OMG, he's so handsome. I really need to take a picture"

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the most awaited event of the year, the GLAMOUR AWARDS. We'll like everyone to come on in now as we'll kick off in five" , a clear and booming voice rang through the speaker.

Adam, along with his secretary, Jane Harper, took long strides as he entered the hall.

"Mr Drew?" , a short chubby man called out making Adam glance at his direction as the chubby man walked over to meet him.

"Mr. Paige", Adam brought his hand forward for a handshake which the short man gladly accepted.

"What a pleasant surprise. I'd never expected to see you her.", Mr. Paige said.

"Well, I am here now." Adam answered nonchalantly.

"Come, let me show you your seat.", Mr. Paige said and Adam followed him.

On getting to the front row, Mr. Paige showed him his seat.

"Hmm, Mark. These designs are nice but they lack expression. I mean, when the designs are not portraying the actual theme, then it's not worth showcasing. Tell them to make another set of designs and it should be ready on my desk first thing Monday morning.

Laura said to Mark after checking the designs sent to her from the Art Department.

She was already starting to feel irritated when she looked up and saw Mr. Paige. She stood up.

"Mr. Paige", she greeted. She just greeted him as a sign of respect as he was his father's friend.

"Miss Smith, you look radiant. I didn't expect you to show up. Anyway, thanks for coming. Meet Mr. Drew."

Laura glanced at the man standing beside Mr. Paige. He was very tall , his face was well projected, his jaw sharp that it looked like it could actually cut someone. His eyes were small and dilated. His nose chiseled and his lips thin and red. He looked a bit skinny but one would know that there was more than what the eyes can see as his chest were showing a bit from the two buttons left undone.

"Not bad but definitely my kind of guy ",she said to herself.

"Mr. Drew, meet Miss Smith.", Mr. Paige said to Adam.

Adam looked at the woman before him. She was tall but not up to his height. Her skin so white and flawless. Her legs long and attractive. Her dress made her shape well defined. Her face was oval in shape. Her make-up simple yet professional. Her eyes pointed, her lips cherry like.

She wore a diamond ears turds and matching diamond necklace. A mere look and you'll definitely respect her. "Not bad, but not my type of woman.", he thought.

"Hello, and nice meeting you.", She said, her hands out for a handshake.

Adam regained focus and put on an indifferent expression.

"Nice meeting you too.", he took her hands, and surprisely her hand shook firmly with his like that of a successful business woman, which made him curious about her profession.

"You guys, sit and be comfortable. I'll go check on other guests", Mr Paige said and left.

"Hello, once again and welcome to Glamour Awards. As we all know, Glamour Awards takes place once every year. We give the prestigious awards to persons who deserves them. One of the reason why this award ceremony was inculcated is to help improve ourselves and give us a reason to make room for improvement.", a slim petite lady said as she spoke through the microphone. "For the best actress of the year, I'd like to call on Miss Anderson Brown to award the nominee.", Grace, the petite woman spoke.

A woman of average height walked up to the stage.

"The best actress of the year goes to," Miss Anderson looked round the hall, smiled and continued "Jenny Danwhite."

A round of applause rang through the hall, a slim young lady of about twenty years of age came up on stage.Her face was full of smiles.

"Thank you everyone. It's such an honor to receive this award. I can't use words to describe my joy right now. I'd like to say thank you to the award committee and everyone present here including my fans. I'm really grateful." Jenny said after receiving the award.

"Next on the list...", Grace continued and the vevent went on.

Laura was not paying attention as she was busy sorting out designs.

"Is she here?" Grace asked after calling Laura on stage.

"You should be Laura. You're being called upon."Adam nulged at Laura who liked startled.

"Ma'am, you're next." Mark said to Laura.

"Can I have Laura Smith and Adam Drew up here with me?" Grace called again

As if on cue, Adam and Laura stood up together and left for the stage to award the nominees.
