XLIX

I look at myself in the mirror, my eyes trailing on every inch of my body, my face contorted in a questionable expression as I looked at what I adorned myself in.

"You look amazing!" San said in awe as he looked at me from top to bottom.

"Thanks, are you sure this will work though?" I asked him and he he nodded subtly before giving two thumbs ups.

"You will look extravagant tonight!" San smiled as he fixed his tuxedo.

"Where are we going again?" I asked him as we walked out of the dressing room and towards the antique car, well for me.

"Tonight is the masquerade ball hosted by the richest man in New York! But we need an invitation to get in there without scaring the guests," San explained as we hopped in his speedy car.

"Do we have an invitation?" I asked him and he gave me a small grin before burying his hand in his pocket and taking out a white envelope.

"Thank Yongbok, his sister is the wife of a very rich man, he got the chance for an invitation thanks to her," San said as he pulled out from the driveway, the silence welcoming us again as we let the cold breeze of air caress our faces.

I looked down on my attire once again, my bare thighs were exposed and I never wore something so... skimpy in since forever.

I wore a white sequin dress with some lace patterns embroided, it was a long gown and reached down to my ankles. My cleavage was exposed since I was wearing nothing in my sleeves area and I wore matching white heels with my white purse and white glittery mask to wear. I also wore white gloves to match my long gown. And my hair was twisted into a nice bun with a curled portion of my hair was left on both sides of my face.

San wore a simple navy blue tuxedo with a white button-up and a black bowtie. He wore matching blue jeans and black shoes and his black hair was slicked back.

After a few minutes, San entered an open gate and my eyes widened at what was displayed infront of me.

There was a huge fountain, and there were trees that stood around the huge mansion that was painted in white and there were little swirls decorating it. There were floors stacked above each other and lights were shining through the huge windows. I could already hear the clinking of wineglasses from here as I looked at the wide door that was waiting for us to open.

"I'll be at the parking lot. Remember, it's all on you. Yongbok told me that the culprit is somewhere in this venue, just run over here if you need some help," San told me as he handed me the invitation.

I just realised we only have one invitation.

"Then what are you gonna do in that parking lot?" I asked him and he grinned at me.

"I'll keep watch and stay as your driver, you go there and find that person!" San told me and I nodded before clicking my heels towards the front door, wobbling a bit because I don't wear any heels often.

"Invitation no entry," a guy told me as he towered over me with his large frame.

"Here," I said as I handed him the invitation, he took it and checked it carefully before nodding to himself.

"Enjoy the party ma'am," he smiled and I nodded at him before walking inside the party.

And I could say it was a party. The huge chandelier was covering us and there were long tables of food surrounding the ballroom. The people smelled rich and power, they were dressed in the most luxurious night gowns, and each of them had beautiful eye masks on their faces, and some were being served glasses of wine.

You could probably smell the delicious food from your phone, but too bad.

I looked around, my eyes trailing to each person who had an eye mask on their face, some men were even handsome and presentable, chatting with other guys or talking with a woman.

"Champagne, madam?" A waiter asked as he approached me with a tray full of champagne.

"No thank you, I'll pass," I said as I looked at the waiter before cracking him a small smile.

"No problem, ma'am," he gave me a short smile before walking past me and attending to the other guests.

"Okay guys! It's time for the music to roll! We're going on a time spree so makes sure every person in this room finds a pair to begin with," the host said as he grabbed the microphone and placed it against his lips, saying his speech.

"Okay, now in the count of three, everyone find a partner,

Three...

...two..

....one...!"

All the women and men started to scramble in the room, finding a random partner for this favor the host was asking for.

"We have 15 seconds!" The host announced as he looked at the time.

Most of the people now have partners, while I was just excusing myself so I won't get bumped into some running people, my mind was running with different thoughts as I looked at the people running, searching for the missing culprit.

I walked away to go to the side since I don't have any plan to join the event whasoever.

But suddenly, a hand pulled me.

My body moved forward and I crashed into something hard.

I quickly pushed my body back and I came face-to-face with a figure.

Who had a black eye mask shielding his face.

He had black and curly hair, and he wore a black laced embroided suit with different patterns, and a black button-up underneath and some black pants.

"Time's up!"

"May I have this dance?" He asked me as he extended his hand towards me.

I looked at the people who were already with their partners and I looked at this man who had a black mask shielding his eyes, a small smile on his face.

Then, the music started playin and everyone was swaying to the soft music playing in the background.

I slowly placed my hand on his open palm, and he naturally wrapped his long fingers around my hand, placing it on his shoulder while he slides his hands on the side of my waist and he takes my other hand before holding it in his, not letting go.

As the music played, I stepped forward while he stepped backward, his eyes piercing a stare at mine as I stared back at him.

"Who are you?"
