Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law Chapter 107
Advertisement
The launching was held at a private Hall which was strictly by invitation. It was designed to host not more than fifty people so if one was not a part of the top 1% of the rich families, then it was only a dream that they could wish coming true because there wasn't another way if they wanted to attend.
Everyone who knew Janice Yun knew she was a great perfectionist and always wanted everything to be perfect. This was the reason why the launching itself was held at her private jewelry gala studio at the Southeast of City X.
The jewelry gala studio which was where she displayed all her other works was neatly decorated according to her unique taste since she had an eye for interior decor. She chose a light brown color for the inside and this blended in very well with the lightning in the room. The room were divided into different seats. Four chairs to a table in a roundabout manner which maximised space.
From the curtains to the clothes on the tables, everything looked perfect and neat. On each table was a small vase containing a type of moon flower which increased and purified the air in the room.
Soon, it was almost time for the launching and the invited guests were starting to arrive. The highly trained and professional waiters attended to each guests with great work etiquettes and mannerisms.
Since the tables were divided, each guest had written in thier invite the table table that they were supposed to seat on. This was perfectly done by Janice Yun herself to prevent anyone from sitting at a place they are not meant to.
Director An who had with him a special invite from Mimi arrived very early. Even though he was considered a big shot in the entertainment industry, he was nothing to Janice Yun since she wasn't familiar with him. He was excited and couldn't wait to be there hence he had gone all the way out to even get himself a new suit and pants. He had dressed up for the occasion.
Director An was just 38 years and still very healthy and considered handsome among the rest of the director's which were over 40 and beyond.
Andrew (full name of Director An) was walked into the gala by a waiter whom he found quite pleasing but he didn't want to do anything else today. After all, he had a perfect meal prepared for him later on. He found his lower body starting to react when he imagined how the night was going to be. He couldn't wait to see his woman for the night.

Outside the gala hall, Lucy and Matt had arrived first. Since he was the main security manager, he had come early to make sure that there were no threats. Lucy had insisted on coming with him to help out and he couldn't say no to her.
After they inspected the entire building, they returned to the front of the gala hall. Matt looked at Lucy and smiled, "let's go and get you changed into something else"
"Huh" Lucy looked at him shyly. Even though they were almost three months into their relationship, the only thing they had done was hold hands and kiss.
"I prepared a beautiful dress for you, come with me" he said and held her hand.
"That little slut" Anita said when she got down from Dindin's car and saw Matt and Lucy walking away.
"I told you to forget of them" Dindin said, standing beside her.
"I hate seeing them together. I fell for him first. I found out about his family first but why is she the one dating him now?" Anita humped and walked away, holding her designer clutch bag tightly against her gown.
It could be said that those two really dressed up for the occasion. They had gone for shopping for this gala. They didn't want to fall behind with their dressing. Dindin had spent about 25K in buying the golden silver dress which had shiny glistening crystals all around it.
Since Anita couldn't afford such luxury, she went for a lesser 15K dress which was also decent enough.
A van pulled over as they started to walk inside. Dindin turned first and when she saw Mimi coming out of the van, she became excited.
"Mimi" Dindin went forward to hug Mimi.
"Hi, Dindin. How are you?" Mimi hugged her back carefully. She didn't want to wrinkle the dress she had spent a million dollars getting it customised just for her. Mimi smiled and felt that even the universe was on her side. She needed Dindin for her plans to work tonight and here she was.
"Mimi, you already know my friend, right? She is Anita" Dindin quickly introduced.
"I know her, of course. Anita, how are you?"
"I'm doing well" Anita said excitedly.
"Let's go inside. Dindin, I will need you for something later on"

"Just call me if you need me"
Mimi nodded and they went inside the hall. Mimi's assistant found her seat and directed her there. When she sat down, she turned and shared a meaningful gaze with Andrew before looking away immediately.
Natalie arrived a little later than them. She wore a simple cream colored dress which had the design of a wild flower in it. It might look simple but anyone with good designer eyes would know that it was hand knitted and had the famous V shape of the Mona Lisa symbol which was from a famous foreign designer known for hand knitting her clothes. Her heels and small almost unnoticeable bag were from the latest collection of a particular designer whose bags and shoes were only opened to people who were ready to spend.
Of course, this was ordered by Mikael for her but it still didn't compare to the one she had prepared herself to wear during the time of her speech.
Natalie felt that this was an opportunity she was blessed with and didn't want to take it lightly. She was here solely for one reason. To build a good rapport for herself and also interact with a lot of the people she couldn't have gotten a chance to in her daily life.
She believed that creating a good friendship with some if these people would be of great help to her in the future. In fact, she could see Janice Jewelry becoming hers in the near future.
Natalie knew it was very grandeur of her to have such big dreams but she didn't want to give up now that she had a dream, a goal to work towards. She didn't want to get distracted.
Natalie entered the hall alone. Mikael was supposed to come with her but he got a call from his mother and had to go. He was scheduled to arrive later on.
Like honey to a bee, the moment Natalie entered inside, the lighting illuminated her dressing. Her slightly tanned natural skin made her stand out in the creamy knee level dress. Everyone turned to look at her.
Natalie scanned the hall until her gaze landed on Lucy who looked excited to see her. Lucy waved and Natalie waved back and started walking towards her and Matt.
"Elder sister, you finally arrived" a voice spoke when she was about to pass it. Mimi's soft tone made everyone looked upon her like a gentle flower that was incapable of doing harm to anyone.
Natalie stopped in her strides and turned to face Mimi with a smile. This was contrary to her previous behavior were she would turn aggressive each time Mimi referred to her as her elder sister.
Mimi was slightly taken aback but she recovered immediately. She didn't know what Natalie was up to, playing along with her so well. But, she smiled and moved out of her chair.
"You look so beautiful elder sister. My parents would be here later on, let's have dinner together after the launching. Even though you are no longer staying with us, we missed you"
"Okay, my little sister. I will do that. Let's have dinner together after this" Natalie said politely and nodded her head before going over to Lucy's table.
"I heard she is the first child from her first marriage?" One lady said behind Natalie's table after witnessing what happened.
"But, isn't she the elder sister of Alice Jun? She came out to say it herself" another asked back.
"Alice Jun is her sister from her father's second marriage. I heard she didn't get along well with the Song family in the past"
"That must have been a rumour. Look, they even plan to have dinner together after here"
Natalie's gaze turned cold the more she heard the two women talking about her so openly. But she didn't do anything.
"Natalie, are you alright" Lucy asked.
"Mm, I'm fine"
"What was that about, anyway?"
"It was just as you saw it. She wanted attention and I gave it to her"
"That little..." Lucy was about to cuss and stopped when she noticed Matt's gaze on her.

The Helena Chronicles
Espers are really no different than humans; they look like any normal human and in general behave like any normal human. However, there are a few key differences. The max life expectancy of espers ranges from forty-five to fifty. They naturally have a knack for mathematics and are extremely intelligent in general, this is because their abilities rely on the subconscious and conscious calculations. They also have a mysterious energy source they call Focus that is generated naturally by all espers. The continent of Elestveeve is populated by three major factions, each a governing force. On the west of the continent, there is the Noble Houses that subscribe to the Deity Faith. The Houses ruling with the Deity Faith as council since the religion's founding four-hundred years previous. Controlling most of the northeast is WITCH, an organization ruled by powerful espers; claiming the mysterious Genesis as their capital, they are a whispered myth among much of the continent's less technically advanced residents. In the southeast you have Tech City, a towering monolith of a capital with four sky layers and metropolis' leveled deep underground; it is a city brimming with technical advancement and cyber integration.

She must determine how she got there and how to get back to where she came from.
