On the side of the Sky Bar, The part where the wall was built was deliberately made dark and covered with several large pots containing plants by Caspar, so that Sky Bar visitors would not peek at the penthouse side.
Aleksis looked around and saw that in the middle of the Sky Bar, by the high glass wall, visitors were enjoying foods and drinks while enjoying the view of Singapore from the top of the building.
The festive atmosphere was clearly visible, and people seemed to be really enjoying the party. Nobody paid any attention to Aleksis.
"Alright... I can jump now..." Aleksis murmured.
She managed to lift herself up against the wall and prepared to jump when suddenly a voice called that shocked her and caused her to lose balance.
"Who's there?!!"
"Aaaarrggghhhhh...!!!"
Aleksis' body slammed toward the ground and almost hit the large potted plant made of hard marble when suddenly a strong body moved so quickly to block her fall. Finally, their bodies collided on the floor beside the large pot.
"Ohhh... I'm sorry..." Aleksis tried to get up. Her body did not feel any pain from the fall thanks to the person who blocked her fall in a split second.
She could imagine that that person was surely experiencing extreme pain due to the impact of Aleksis' body weight the impact from the hard floor below. She tried to help the person up while rubbing her hands. "Please forgive me..."
The man held his aching forehead and slowly rose. His eyes glittered in anger as he stared at the careless girl who just knocked him down.
"What are you doing here, sneaking up like this? Are you a thief?" When his eyes stared at Aleksis' face, who was bending down from feeling guilty, his gleaming glance suddenly turned into fascination.
Aleksis was indeed very, very pretty if she didn't intentionally look like a shabby nerd with big glasses and shabby clothes. The man's voice turned soft, "Uhm... are you alright?"
Aleksis nodded, "Yes, I'm fine... Thank you for helping me..."
"Hmm..." The man then wiped his dirty clothes. "What were you doing on the wall?"
Aleksis realized that she had been caught. She had to fabricate a plausible excuse.
"Uhm... I'm late for work. If I go through the front door, my boss will know that I'm late. That's why I jumped over the wall..." she said as she pretended to feel sad. She bent her face down as if she was super worried of losing her job. "Please don't report me... I can't be fired, I really need this job..."
The man watched Aleksis closely and after a while he finally nodded. "Hmm... so you are a waiter in this Sky Bar?"
"Right, Sir. Are you from Rhionen Industries?" Aleksis asked him. "Do you want me to get you a drink?"
"Hmm... please bring red wine," said the man.
Aleksis nodded. Before leaving, she raised her face and tried to observe his face and appearance carefully. Later she should not give the drink to the wrong person.
Aleksis felt that this man was quite friendly and might be able to provide much of the information she needed. She just needed to be nice.
"Eh...?" She was suddenly stunned when her eyes fell upon the man's face.
This person had no face!!!
That was, the person had a face, but half of it was covered by a black leather mask that hid his eyes and nose. His long hair was tied with a red ribbon.
He wore a formal outfit in the form of a thin dark blue shirt and black pants that showed off his tall and sturdy body shape. His mask made him look like a mysterious character in novels.
Was this a masquerade party? Aleksis thought to herself. She glanced at the other guests in the room.
Nobody wore any masks.
The man smiled at Aleksis' surprised expression. "You want to make sure that you don't mistakenly give my red wine to others, right? Don't worry, I'm the only one wearing a mask at this party."
"I... I'm sorry if I was presumptuous." Aleksis hurriedly bowed her head. "I thought this was a masquerade party or something..."
"No problem. I'm wearing this mask because my disfigured face is too scary to see. I don't want to scare people," The man shrugged nonchalantly. "I will wait here."
He then walked casually to the nearest chair then sat and closed his eyes. Aleksis was fascinated by his gestures. They were so confident and commanding, and for a moment she almost forgot that she was now disguised as a waiter and the person had asked her to bring him a glass of red wine.
Who was this person really? thought Aleksis, moving lightly to the bar to get a bottle of red wine and a glass.
