1 BENJAMIN|| 01
The high-end music carried a calm atmosphere among the spectators in the darkened hall, and a slender female with some jade and smooth ivory-white skin was highlighted.
Her clear and wet black eyes send a hint of purity and natural softness with delicate delicate contours. With pink lips peeking down through a small slit the color of Crystal teeth.
She gathered her black hair in a bun decorated with a feather and even a short ballet skirt full of feathers at the edges and moved her soft cheekbones and pink fingertips protruding into her milky skin.
She looked like a swan in a sacred lake that no human dared to approach.
She was so pure that they were ashamed to court her and they couldn't help but watch from afar and see her spread her wings and pull their consciousness with a heavenly feeling.
Art and spontaneity ...
She was the embodiment of her name, Sophia Winthrop... The most famous ballerina in London is nicknamed the mute swan.
She couldn't talk, but she knew how to move them to a small space full of emotions and separated their minds from their bodies during three minutes of dancing.
It's like an addiction to escape from reality and the problems that strain its owner.
Pairs of eyes are fixed on her, her knees are bent deftly, and her little hands manipulate the air as if rubbing their hearts and sending an unintentional itch.
Ballet is the language of the soul and Sophia Winthrop has mastered speaking it with passion and creativity.
She Lowered her eyelashes casting soft shadows down her eyelids and arranged thin eyebrows. She ended her performance with a modest bow and a standing ovation from the audience, who was ecstatic with this fine art.
She gave a small smile with an air of purity and shyness, then moved, leaving the stage with light muffled steps.
When she walked backstage, she received the usual compliments and thanked them with small smiles and sincerely grateful eyes.
She changed her outfit for something more comfortable-a simple white skirt with loose arms with long brown boots that covered up to her swollen knees.
She wrapped her neck with a black scarf that covered half of her little face with a gray coat reaching mid-calf. She also left her black hair like ink wavy with a luscious luster.
After making sure that she was not exposed to the cold, she left the dressing room, heading for the door.
Some fans were still leaving the building but no one approached her and they just watched her and picked up their phones to take a few pictures.
It was like glass, so what if a crowd ran up to it and it was swallowed and broken?'
She continued her small steps towards the door with her hands hidden in the coat pocket.
The moment she stepped foot outside, a cool breeze of air flowed with the scent of flowers and she was not surprised when a large bouquet of red flowers completely covered her field of vision.
"This bouquet of flowers is for my little Swan"
The masculine voice made her face bloom with a smile as she stretched out her arms and tenderly held the bouquet of flowers.
The field of vision became clear and a man with a pair of brown eyes stood sleepy and calm by nature. With his white skin he etched a friendly smile and his curly brown hair touched his forehead.
He was a little thin and tall, but his shoulders were still moderate and his mature male body was pleasant to look at.
He wore a tuxedo with a coat and a perfume engraved with her memory emanated from it. He's been using it for years and it gives the impression that it's his natural scent.
"Then, beautiful dancer.."
When he spoke in a pleasant voice, he reached out to her to hold his hand naturally before bending his back and imprinting a kiss on her pale fingers.
"Your knight will take you home."
Her brother Wilbur watched her spread her pink lips and show small white teeth while laughing without a sound and the deer-like black eyes narrowed with a unique shine.
As if her smile is contagious, poke his heart and smile more.
He let go of her hand and they got in his car heading home. It was noon and the clouds were overcast in the sky with a dark but refreshing color.
It's the beginning of autumn in London and the brown leaves are gradually falling off the trees as the weather gets colder every day.
Sophia leaned her head against the window, the fingers of her rosy hands peeking out from under her coat and clutching a bouquet of red flowers.
"An invitation has been sent for the fifth Lumina Foundation ceremony. I have a business trip this evening so I can't go"
The word 'Lumina' made her breath falter and her heart beat so violently that it sent a tingling through her chest.
Hearing this jewelry brand is as if she hears the name Benjamin Atkinson.
She shrank her shoulders a little and tightened her fingers tightly over the bouquet of flowers to control the trembling of her body and prevent her emotions from leaking out and revealing what she feels for this man.
The CEO of the jewelry company Lumina and the richest man in London.
It was love at first sight and possessed her heart for two years, unable to get over it, and his image is etched in her memory like a tattoo.
She didn't like going to VIP parties with her brother. But from the moment she saw Benjamin, her heart could not help but melt and she enthusiastically went to parties. She also waited impatiently for her brother to be invited to a party.
His appearance in newspapers is extremely rare, and he is absent in news channels. The only place she can see him is at VIP parties.
"Do you want to go?""
Wilbur's Voice pulled her out of her trance and she quickly took out her phone and moved her pale and slender fingers lightly.
'Yeah, I'd love that.'
It was a robotic female voice of artificial intelligence. Due to her current inability to communicate, she used an app to convert her words into sounds.... But he is still devoid of emotion and cold.
He turned his head for a moment and found that her black eyes flashed with an excited sparkle and her lips made a smile that could not retreat.
The sight of his sister melted his heart and he laughed before raising his hand and pinching her delicate cheek between his index and middle fingers.
"Look at the enthusiasm of the little Swan, you like to party."
She didn't like high-end parties, but she loved Benjamin, and she also couldn't refute Wilbur's words, so she closed her eyes tightly and opened them as a sign of approval.
Wilbur could not help and pressed with some force on her cheek, causing her to frown and hit his hand with her tender Palm.
It was a feather-like touch for him that made him laugh and he pushed his fingers away, leaving a faint red mark on her skin.
"Well then I'll tell William to give you a ride."
'No, I'll drive by myself.'
"But Sophia the party is in the evening"
In response, Wilbur frowned a little and his eyes seemed somewhat worried. He didn't like to drive a car and the sky was dark.
Even if she is careful to drive slowly, there are scum in society who do not pay attention to the road.
Sophia looked at his worried expression and sighed while lowering her head and slowly writing her words.
'I understand your concern, brother, but you know that I trust only my leadership and yours.'
"Yes, but still... "
He pursed his lips for a long time, then let out a helpless sigh, shook his head in agreement, but reaffirmed it.
"Drive slowly and pay attention to the road, it will be better if you go on foot"
He muttered at the end of his speech knowing that it was impossible, which made Sophia smile cheerfully.
In the midst of their conversation, Wilbur's car stopped in front of the house and he landed before turning around and opening the door as usual for her.
"I'm going to go to the company now, and be careful and close the doors tightly and don't leave the windows open if it rains, I won't be home today."
She nodded obediently to him while he stared for a while and then asked her again.
"Are you sure you want to drive in the evening?""
Sophia sighed, realizing his concern for her, so she stood on tiptoe, raised her head to automatically bow to her and printed a kiss on his cheek.
She was like a swan feather going through his skin and then she pushed his shoulder while pointing at the car with her head.
He couldn't help but give up and bent his back kissing her cold cheek vigorously.
"Come in, it's cold. Don't talk to strangers at the party and stay close to Credence. I send a text every hour to make sure you're okay when I'm in Paris.
If it rains while you're coming home, you'll park your car and call William to pick you up as usual. Bear it for me."
She shook her head obediently before the car door next to the driver opened and took out a black invitation that he offers her.
She smiled and waved to him, watching him get into his car, until she drove off and disappeared from her sight.
She Lowered her hand, then turned around and entered the House.
It was a large two-story building, where the first floor contained a circular open space with a staircase leading to the second floor. Immediately behind it is the living room and the dining table of the second half.
On the left hand side is an open kitchen and the second floor also contained the bedrooms. The house was based on the area of large rooms, and not on the number.
She walked up the stairs with wide steps and her lips never hung down. When I entered her room, it was simple with a bed, a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking a small balcony, and there were two doors, one for her shoe and clothes closet, and the second was the bathroom.
She put the bouquet of flowers on the bed and her fingers felt the invitation card and Benjamin's name inscribed in the corner.
Every time she reads the name her heart rushes out of her control. She could only slam her feet to the ground in a state of intense rush and enthusiasm without making a sound, before squatting down and hugging the invitation tightly.
Thick black hair tumbled over her shoulders and she bit her lower lip with a wide smile that cleaves her face to her ears and a pair of wide black deer eyes glow with happiness.
This is the first time his company's own party has been banned. How could it not be that her body trembles with enthusiasm to see him and hear his voice deliver his speech to the guests.... ؟
