Chapter 7: He Wasn't Supposed To Be Here

Everyone had looked at the woman who was looking so pleased in voicing out her thoughts. Hubert Graham had all of his attention to his daughter, his one and only biological child, with a conflicted yet embarrassed expression.

Eve didn't want to get the situation where she would find Molina behind bars for insubordination or public disturbance so she ends it with the last note.

" If you see me in the future, act as if Molina Sylvia is dead since that's how you have treated me and my mother, I hope you never regret your choice, Hubert Graham "

Molina turns to leave the room, family drama isn't her thing but it seems she would bump into such conflict.

Since Molina is a Villainess in her own life
Eve walks out of the room and when the door person, she sees a person she thought she would never be seen until three years from now. Her eyes widen seeing Ethan Millers, Diana's best friend and another childhood sweetheart, was standing there, but he isn't what's important for now. It's not just Ethan Miller, the brother of ML Company president who owns international airlines and their six-star hotel chain around multiple countries, no he isn't what's important but his older brother who's standing with him.

Gracing them with his presence was no other than Alexander Millers whose one of the youngest and richest businessmen of the decade, he who is the President of ML Company and was had been assigned aboard for years, had never appeared on Molina's memory during her early twenties in Molina's last life.

Ethan had dyed his hair silver and didn't care about company policies, he was tall but Alexander was obviously towering him just two head taller than his younger brother, Even could see how he is even taller than the two other bachelors.
While Ethan was a more go-with-the-flow kind of person, Alexander, on the other hand, was strict when it comes to company policy and was always uptight. His appearance and the way he presents himself makes it harder for people to approach him.

Alexander and Ethan's mother were Asian and had dark-colored hair, because of that, Alexander looks like Mrs. Miller with those sharp gaze and dark-colored eyes, yet he looks cold, unlike his mother who had a warm appearance. Ethan on the other hand got his looks from his father and look more western with his appearance.

Eve was busy staring at Alexander and their eyes met, there was a sudden chill on her spine.

Why now? How?

Eve wondered and had a slight internal conflict with herself.

Alexander was supposed to be at Molina's 28th birthday and would cause a commotion when Diana meets him officially.

" Fck " Eve whisper to herself then suddenly look back to Hubert Graham and glared at him. The older man couldn't believe as he saw how Molina who was smiling at one minute was now openly showing her animosity the next, he was taken aback.

You old dog, you didn't extend an invitation to Alexander before so why did you do it now--- now -- what is with this development?!! If I can, I would have strangled you to death!!!

She can't follow these late-comers inside anymore after her whole shit show and because she can't go inside again, she won't know what Alexander and Diana would talk about.

Eve despises Hubert Graham even more for throwing the relationship-is-over conversation first and she had entertained, now Eve can't eavesdrop anymore.

Oh God, is this my punishment for going out of character? She then mentally sighs.

Eve swallows the imaginary pain and then looks back to the Miller brothers and nodded at them in greeting. She was clearly on her guard, Ethan usually wouldn't look at her twice but the woman had looked too cautiously at his older brother.

Of course, Eve was going to look at Alexander cautiously, Molina doesn't bother speaking with them and hurriedly walks away as she opens her phone and dialed the driver.

With the appearance of Alexander, she was going to speed up her plans. It won't be a pain in the ass but it will keep her busy for some time, with Alexander meeting Diana, Molina is going to need to lay low for a few months.

" Alexander Miller is no joke " She listens to the ringing of the other line as she reminds herself. " He's Diana's strongest supporter and he would do everything for her, I need to leave this city quickly "That's right, it wasn't Dave Smith, Jonathan Rhodes nor Ethan Miller who she was worried about, heck, even Graham Hubert was an easy trash to handle. It was Alexander Miller who she should be worried about.

The person on the other line picks up and she told the driver her location, as she was waiting in the lobby for him. The call ended and she started to lean back on the sofa and sigh loudly, the lobby was empty of people and only the glass-panels would hear her concerns.

Ethan Miller had came to the party late as he drags his older brother in the hall, he wanted to introduce his childhood sweetheart to him and hope his older brother would help him with Hubert Graham. Ethan wanted to make an impression.

" You know we're late right?" A man's deep voice was heard in the quiet hallway, he sounded displeased.

"The event might have ended earlier? What were you thinking dragging me here? " Alexander looks at his brother disapprovingly, he never likes being tardy nor later, he also doesn't like to barge in a party where he doesn't have anyone he knows, his brother however says it wasn't a problem.

"This is what we call fashionably late--"

"The party started at 6 and now it's 8:58--" Alexander cuts in

"But we get the whole attention to ourselves, it's not like we had a role to do in this event, all we needed to do is sit and smile anyways. " Ethan tries to reason out but all Alexander could hear is his childish brother being immature.

Alexander doesn't bother with him anymore and straighten his black tie, he was wearing all black from his sleeves to the blazer to his tie and slacks, he was always seen wearing darker colored clothes in the company, it was easier to spot the president with that, and even his casual wear were dark-colored clothes.
Ethan was about to open the door when he paused and heard a familiar voice screaming inside, it was Hubert Graham first then Molina Sylvia.

The two had heard the whole ordeal and were surprised to see the door opened and a dark-haired woman appeared to happily exit the room, only for her to look at Alexander in surprise.

Alexander saw the change of expression and even noticed how she turns back to glare at her father.

Molina didn't look too happy when she laid eyes on Alexander and that made the older man raised his brow.

Molina left in a hurry and looked like she left without a care at whatever she had done inside the room.

Alexander looks at her retreating back. He curiously stared at the woman who was rumored to speak rudely at his younger brother and pick a fight at him at whatever chance she got. Her long ink-like colored hair perfectly sways as she hurriedly walks away and her eyes, as Alexander saw, were light-colored like honey. Alexander slightly smiles as he remembers how she looked like a small cautious cat with her fur standing as her eyes meet his.

Molina Sylvia.

He whispers her name, as he caught interest in the woman.

He stood there under the soft golden lights from the chandeliers, he stared for too long at the direction of where Molina had disappeared into, and not even realizing that Ethan had been calling for him.

"Brother" Ethan calls out for him again and finally got his attention.

"It seems like Molina had caused another trouble for Diana, I'm gonna go inside and see what happened. Aren't you going to follow? " Ethan looks at him and then saw his look at the room with an awkward atmosphere with a frown, his brother rejected his offer and shake his head, he wonders what this older man was thinking now.

" I'm going to head out and smoke, say my greetings to Mr.Graham for me " he doesn't listen to Ethan as he calls out to him, Alexander continues to walk to where Molina headed minutes ago.
