There was a commotion downstairs when Country Y’s general commander arrived.
When he met with Anabelle’s husband, the two saluted each other before everyone else saluted him.
Everyone who came to the party believed that the guy was present because he was his fellow general commander, although they served different countries.
“Welcome sir,” Octavius said coldly as he wasn’t used to smiling outside.
Hearing his voice, the guy stared at him for a while before sizing him up then nodded in approval.
“I didn’t find any flaws today but that doesn’t mean that I won’t in the future,” he replied to Octavius making everyone confused Antoni looked at the man wondering what was happening as it seemed that he knew his son.
He shot Octavius a questioning gaze but the latter shook his head indicating that he had never met with the commander.
“Commander Shawn please come in,” Antonio said as he led the party into the party but just as they had entered the hall, they had another person who had walked into the hotel premises making them look behind.
“Country B’s attorney general Mr David Hill has arrived,” the introduction made the attenders freeze while Antonio and Octavius apologized to Mr Shawn leaving him in Anabelle’s husband’s care before walking to the entrance.
“Sir,” they greeted him.
The attorney general was no different from Mr Shawn as he sized Octavius up but unlike the latter, he just nodded his head before following them in.
At that moment, Shawn was taken to the Andersons brothers as Anabelle’s brother was supposed to help in welcoming guests.
“Shawn,” David called.
“David,” Shawn greeted the latter with a hug surprising everyone as they wondered how the two knew each other while they were in different countries.
Even though they were curious no one dared to ask other than the old men in the Rodrigues and Anderson family who had sharp eyes to tell that the two didn’t just know each other as they looked like they knew each other.
Just as they were about to ask, they heard:
“Our vice president, Mr Brandon West has arrived and is about to enter!”
That shook the guests and even the Rodrigues and Andersons looked at Antonio as they wondered what was going on.
“That asshole really came instead of being in the meeting,” Shawn murmured but the people around him heard.
Antonio who was about to leave them heard too and halted. He looked at both Shawn and David and realized that they had to be from the Dragon Organisation if they knew Mr. Brandon and had a close friendship with them.
He was once amazed by how many Organizations had a lot of people mostly people with power and not just small power.
“Mr West, my family is humbled to welcome you,” he said as he met the vice president who chuckled when he heard his words.
“Oh Mr Rodrigues, I am the honored one here,” Brandon said as he greeted him.
“Mr Hayes, long time no see,” Brandon said as he looked at Anabelle’s husband who saluted him.
“Sir,” he called out.
“It's okay,” Brandon replied with a smile as he had always admired the guy for his achievements.
“And you are?” he asked Octavius pretending not to know Octavius.
Since they had already walked into the hall and everyone was watching both David and Shawn chuckled as they knew that Brandon wasn’t easy to get along with as he portrayed and the fact that Octavius had married their young miss made things worse.
Although Antonio would have introduced Octavius, he looked at Octavius wondering what he was going to say or do.
“My name is Octavius Rodrigues,” Octavius introduced himself while he stood straight like a soldier surprising the the three men.
“just because…”
“Cut it, Brandon. Don’t make things hard for my boy,” Mary said as he walked into the hall.
He was worried that Brandon would make things difficult for Octavius and hurriedly walked to the hall when she heard that he had arrived.
“Aaah Mary protective of him instead of me,” Brandon said as he pretended to be hurt but Mary rolled his eyes.
“Nanny Mary,” Octavius said in relief as he could tell from Brandon’s sharp eyes that the man didn’t like it and was there to make things hard for him.
Although he was confused as to why the three men didn’t seem to like him, he knew that he couldn’t ask them directly as it wasn’t good for their families.
“Octavius, how are you? Have you eaten?” Mary asked Octavius with a smile as he patted his hair.
“Can you please stop ruining my hairstyle?” he asked as he pouted.
Because they stayed together, he had gotten close to Mary and regarded her as his mother-in-law as she was the mother figure in Rhiannon’s life.
Antonio’s eyes turned shape than before when he heard how Octavius addressed Mary and knew she was Rhiannon’s nanny. He started thinking carefully and felt that Mary must be from the Dragons and that’s why she knew the vice president and seemed to be in a close relationship.
He concluded that maybe Rhiannon wasn’t an organization member but her nanny was and that’s why she had access to most things the members in that organization got.
“You are welcome. I have prepared delicious meals for our vice president to enjoy,” Mary said winning respect as if she wasn’t the one who had just reprimanded Brandon.
Brandon rolled his eyes but didn’t say anything.
“At least you knew that I was the most important one and this is my country and had to get the last entrance,” Brandon said to both Shawn and David who rolled their eyes but didn’t refute him as that was what they were supposed to.
“The next time you come to my country I won’t be the one welcoming you as you didn’t even welcome me in your country,” David said making people think that the two of them knew each other because he was the one who was given the responsibility to take care of Country’s C vice president when he went to Country B.
“From the Royal palace, the second prince Ernest Young.”
