Chapter 86 An Animated Party 1
After leaving the mall Jake and Eva had to return home as a car would be sent there to get the two for Clara.
After getting into the business car it was very beautiful they went to the hotel where the party would be held.
As it was a party where the guests were mostly busy people, the place chosen was a 5-star hotel that was in a better location in Miami.
As it was Clara and Tiffany who chose the hotel together, they chose one that had a large ballroom where they could perform the dances and also the dinner, in addition, the ballroom was also near a beautiful field and pool where the cocktail party could be held.
The songs that were played were suitable for dancing at a slow pace, yet it happened several times that these celebratory dinners passed without anyone having the courage to perform for dancing.
Only those closest to the companies would be at the dinner tables, the other guests would just get some snacks and go get a drink by the pool.
Clara had reserved a table next to hers for Jake and Eva so they would not have doubts about what to do.
As soon as Jake and Eva arrived many people turned to look, although Jake was wearing a simpler suit matched well with it, for a more handsome man with Jake was even a simple suit it brought some elegance.
But who most caught the eye in this situation in this situation was Eva, Jake chose for her one of the best dresses in the store and also she had taken very good care of her skin and hair in the SPA and beauty salon, as Eve was too beautiful, to begin with, and so drew more attention.
As they did not recognize Eve and Jake's people began to divert attention when they realized that the place where they sat as close to where the closest Clara and Tiffany were.
After settling at the table, Jake and Eve stood to greet Clara and Tiffany who were sitting at the same table, along with them was an older man who seemed to be about the age of Matthew who was also sitting at another table.
"Jake thank you so much for coming to our party, it's a very important day for me and I'm glad to see you here, and Eva too, you look very beautiful today, I think you could dress more like this,"
Clara said with a smile.
"Thank you, Clara, you look very beautiful today, Tiffany is beautiful too, congratulations to the success of your company," Eva replied happily.
"Congratulations, I think my mother should dress more like that," Jake told Clara and Tiffany.
"It was thanks to you also Jake that the company can grow fast so its appearance helped a lot to develop the market of our companies in Miami."
"That may be so, but if you did not have a good product and a good preparation for increased sales none of this would have happened."
So the two greeted each other and praised as they were always done on occasions like this, the difference here was that the compliments were sincere and heartfelt.
"Let me introduce you two to my side for you, Jake, this man here is my father who is also an investor in my company with 10 percent of her, and this other is my husband who is also an investor with 10 percent."
Clara's father when introduced waved the mug to Jake, as he had heard that this young man was special, he had liked it, especially when he knew the good advertisements Jake had made for his daughter's company.
But Clara's husband did not even care to look at Jake's face, he simply treated as if he had not heard, after that the mood on the table was strange, Jake could see that something was happening between Clara and her husband and the father of Clara as well as Tiffany looked upon him with disapproval as if his attitude were expected.
Feeling this, Jake waved goodbye and turned to go back to his table with his mother, but before returning he decided to pass by Matthew's table that was Joseph's grandfather sitting alone at a nearby table.
"Hi, Jake boy, you did not have to come to my table to party or mine."
"Hahaha you can only be kidding, it's normal for us to say hello to friends."
"I'm glad to hear that, it was very good for Joseph to have met you, he's much better now."
"Your grandson helped me a lot too, I've never been too much to have friends and me and him get along."
"That's good, you can go back to your table now, soon dinner will begin."
So Jake and Eva said good-bye and went back to their table.
And just as Matthew said after a while the dinner began, someone soon came up on a discreet stage that was near the dance hall and began some speeches and thanks, it seemed that he was an employee of the company.
After Clara, Tiffany and Clara's father climbed onto the stage and made some small speeches, but Clara's husband did not even look at the stage when it happened.
It seemed that in addition to him and Clara having problems in my marriage he also had problems with the success of the companies of Clara and Tiffany, this was what Jake did not understand, he did not have 10 percent of Clara's company as well? Because that meant that if Clara's company succeeded, it would also make more money.
After that, some of the people went to the cocktail party and some of the people were chatting at the tables, Jake and his mother ate too and talked cheerfully for much of the party.
But no one had gone to the salon to start dancing with someone, which was normal even at parties, despite having good music. Until one time the music that Jake knew was his mother's favorite started playing and he took Eva to the dance floor.
Eva followed her son, she had already become accustomed to his impulsive way and also Eva was very fond of this song, besides, she had made a lot of arrangements for this party and even chose a shoe that was beautiful and could also be used to dance.
So since her son wanted to dance she could also show off a little more of her beautiful dress that Eva did not know when she could wear it again.
While they danced Tiffany, Clara, and Matthew, everyone who knew Jake smiled to see him with his mother dancing, this party was not so discouraged and it was not that nobody wanted to dance, but what happened that no one had the courage to be the first and they knew Jake was not the type to be ashamed in these situations.
After Jake started several people also had the courage and pulled their peers to dance, so dozens of couples were dancing a few songs later.
After three songs Jake brought his mother to his desk, he had noticed that his shoe was starting to hurt and did not need to exaggerate, but even after Jake left the couples continued to enter the hall to dance.
So Jake looked at Clara's desk and saw her grinning at her ignorant husband, it was clear that Clara wanted to dance as a hostess too, but her husband did not seem to be willing.
After a while, Tiffany went to Jake's desk and called him to dance with her too, so one of the hostesses could dance and Tiffany could not pick anyone then called Jake.
Jake did not want to go in for shame, but Tiffany sent him a look as if to say that he was to blame for starting dancing, so he took courage and went.
As Jake was a young man who had come with his mother and also looked close to Tiffany and Clara everyone just smiled when they saw him and Jake heading for the dance floor.
Seeing this, Clara was more relieved to avoid embarrassment but still looked grudgingly at her husband who refused to help her as if it had nothing to do with him.
Clara knew that her husband did not like her and that she was not satisfied with this arranged marriage, but she was in the same situation and not even so cold with him, not to mention that they had been married for years and this situation only seemed to get worse.
Meanwhile, Jake and Tiffany who danced together were quiet and without any subjects to talk, Jake never talked much alone with Tiffany and now they were dancing together forced by the situation.
"You're strange, are not You? Clara's situation with her husband."
Jake really was curious about this situation, but this matter was not directly related to him and his experience said that it was good not to get too involved in the personal problems of others.
Especially if these problems involve your bosses or your superiors because when you know about the situation better you end up indirectly getting involved in it.
