Taming The Las Vegas Playboy

Chapter 168 - Plan For Love (2)

Stefan and Wirata walked into the banquet hall. Ben and James stood there waiting behind the door.

They bowed to their boss and his lady. Wirata smiled at them, she always thought that they were her good friends.

"How's everything?"

Stefan asked his bodyguards who were in charge in general for the company on this event.

"Everything's going well, boss. So far so good. The president and Madam are over there talking to important guests."

James answered.

"All the guests have arrived and are served. And you are on time, boss. In a bit, the opening speech will start as scheduled."

Ben took his turn to report to the boss.

Stefan looked at his father. He sat at the head of the VIP table. He wore an elegant dark suit, talking to a group of businessmen and acquaintances.

On the other end of the table, his mother was sitting there. She looked beautiful in a light blue evening dress her hair was bunned up professionally. She was talking with a group of women. And his parents sat facing each other. Reminding Stefan when they both were still together. They always stayed side by side hosting parties together countless times because of his father's growing business.

 Everyone turned to look when the tall, elegant and powerful man in a dark suit walked in with a slender lady in her golden evening dress, designed to nicely fit on her beautiful figure. 

Her face was stunning with her dark hair gathered up tidily. She looked calmed and confident with a friendly smile when she saw people she recognized. At one angle, she looked sweet and gentle. But another angle, she looked cool and strong with no nervousness shown.

Such a diverse personality, very interesting in the eyes of people. They could not determine which personality of this young lady was the most outstanding and was the real HER.

But most importantly, the big boss never looked away from her beautiful face for long. He kept on supporting her with his arm around her small waist.

On her left ring finger. there was a beautiful diamond ring on it. Therefore, there was no doubt about her relationship with the big boss.

Of course, the Las Vegas branch staff knew her. Because she worked there for one month before resigning many months ago. There were news and gossip going around about her being a woman of Stefan Mackenzie. So this event was the confirmation that she had become the most important lady for the boss. 

The slender body was walking alongside the big boss in a dignified manner, best suited to each other. The people looked with admiration when both passed by. They looked forward to hearing more about them tonight.

When the time came after the guests enjoyed their meal and drinks. On the stage, the opening ceremony started.

It was Stefan's duty to thank the staff for their brilliant performance throughout the year. It was a long speech, so many things to thank for.

And finally, he said thanks to his parents for coming. He invited his father to give the awards and certificates to the employees who had outstanding work performance. He then asked his dad to say something to the company employees as The President of Mackenzie Enterprise Group.

Then Stefan walked back to be with Wirata. They were sitting with his mother.

 "Thank you, everyone, for your hard work throughout the year which has made the Las Vegas branch won the outstanding performance award again for this year, and for many years in a row,"

The president said in his deep powerful voice. Everybody was listening intently.

"Today, standing here again, I can see the company's growth and continue growing in the right direction. Thank you all, for your loyalty and your belief in our company led by Stefan. Because of every one of you, today the Las Vegas branch has made the MC group proud by achieving the goal we have set to reach for this year. And for a father like me, there is nothing more proud than seeing my son, Stefan Mackenzie, as a successful businessman and I believe he also is a good leader as I haven't heard about any bullies or harassment at work. Unless you are afraid to report it to me."

His last statement made people laughed and loosened up as the president looked relaxed and had a smile on his attractive face.

"And apart from that, tonight is a very special night than every year. "

Michael said and then paused. He turned to look at Stefan who was sitting side by side with Wirata at the table.

"Tonight there is a special young lady who has come to make my son's life very special which is a wonderful thing a man ever wishes to happen in his life. For him to find the right person who he loves and she loves him back and wants to spend the rest of the life together. I would like to have the honor to announce that Stefan is engaged to Miss Wirata and there will be a wedding coming on the way very soon. From now on, I hope my son's life will be filled with extraordinary happiness with his beloved lady. Thank you all once again for your brilliant work and we will continue to grow together. We are family and we will succeed and reach our goals again and again in the years ahead as we always have."

Michael finished. Then the people began to applaud loudly and for a long moment. Stefan and Wirata smiled and bowed a little to thank for the congratulated reaction from the employees and guests.

The music began to play on cue. Stefan extended his left hand to Wirata. His handsome face lit up with a happy smile.

"May I have this dance, my lady?"

He asked and gave her a charming smile.

She smiled sweetly and put her hand on his palm, allowing him to lead her to the dance floor. He took her into his arms and started to dance to the beautiful slow music.

"I didn't know that your father would be the one to announce about us."

Wirata whispered to him with her soft tone. She put her arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms on her waist, leading her nicely along with the music.

Stefan smiled. He had talked to his father about this and he agreed to inform the great news to everyone willingly. Stefan was secretly surprised that his dad did not refuse and it seemed he liked Wirata already. Stefan did not know how the woman in his arms did it to make his father accepted her in a very short time like this.

"He easily accepted to do so. I think I haven't put any advertisements on you yet. What have you done to make him fall for your charm already? Normally, my father is a strong-minded person and believes his eyes the most. "

Stefan did not know that his father had seen her fought against the villain in front of his own eyes! And he probably saw the way she handled the problems in Mary's case. But no telling at this point as Wirata did not want to spoil the lovely moment right now.

 "Um, I haven't done anything. Just being myself "

She responded with a pretty smile. Stefan nodded and kissed on her forehead with the fond feelings he had toward her. Being herself was a good enough reason for anybody to like her. As she was a likable person in every aspect.

Stefan knew and was aware of how lucky he was to have her in his life. He cuddled her tight and they just dancing near the front of the stage. The guests were joining them on the dance floor as now the fun party had begun.  

Stefan looked at the VIP table. He saw his father went to sit on a chair near his mother. He sipped his whiskey and glanced at his Queen without saying anything. His mother was chatting to a lady on her left and ignored his father.

"Come on, father. Where is Ben right now?"

He muttered and looked around. Because Stefan had planned that after this song, the next one would be his parents' favorite song. And Ben was responsible for it to put it on as they had rehearsed.

 "He probably is in the control room. I just saw James went in there." Wirata whispered.

The control room was a small room at the side of the stage for the light and sound and the effects.

 When the song was over, the next song was played. Stefan saw his father suddenly paused his whiskey glass before it reached his mouth.

Michael frowned immediately. And Jacqueline also stopped talking then turned to look at the dance floor. This song reminded her of the old time.

Michael looked at Stefan who was embracing Wirata, dancing on the floor. The son gave a nod to him, signaling him to ask his mother to dance.

Michael sighed deeply thinking what silly thing his son was trying to do. However, he turned to look at Jacqueline. The elegant tall figure stood up and extended his hand in front of his wife.

"Please dance with me, Queen. It's our song."

The deep voice spoke. Jacqueline raised her face to look at the man who looked big and powerful in every moved he made. Many years had passed by and she had never been able to forget this face. She sighed softly and put her hand into his big hand. Michael was delighted that she did not refuse as he was afraid.

On the dance floor, the big hands wrapped around her waist. Jacqueline could feel her heart pounding. How long had it been that her heart had not been beating so strong and rapidly like this? Would it be equal to the amount of time that he and she had separated?
