Chapitre 12: What a crazy night

Devanta stood outside of the ball room petrified. What is up today? First the sudden kiss with Andrew then Jackson's sudden confession. She sighed heavily. It's going to be a very long and awkward night.

Slowly she walked back into the room. She tried to look for grandpa and Mr. Scott but bumped into a back.

"Uff I'm sorry." She bowed and tried to walk past the person but someone called her back."

"Hey you! Don't you know who you bumped into? Apologize properly."

Devanta turned around to face the person who had called her. To her surprise it was no one else then Luca, one of the twins who she trained with. Luca didn't recognize her after such a long time and continued with his scolding.

"Why are you just standing there? Apologize to our boss right now!"

Hearing that Devanta smirked, "I already apologized so why should I do that again. Your are unreasonable Luca." Luca heard her calling his name and widened his eye in surprise.

"How do you know my name? Who are you?" He looked closely at the woman before him, his gaze fixed on her face until his eyes widened even more in surprise. "You... you are the traitor Devanta. Hoooo I never expect you to be here. How dare you to appear here before us. Did Jackson already see you? I guess he did judging by his expression." Luca looked across the room to the bar where Jackson was downing his who-knows-how-much-he-already-had drink. Beside him stood someone else who also was drowning drink after drink. That person was no one else then Andrew.

"Anyways what are you doing here?", Luca continued.

"As you can see I'm attending this charity gala. I'm sure Mr. Machiavelli knows why I'm here." Devanta looked past Luca at her father who was just standing there observing her.

"Then it's true? You're really with that Scott guy? You betrayed your own family for someone like him. You're now nothing more than a slave for the Scott's."

"Enough." Francesco Machiavelli interrupted Luca. "Luca you are too hot headed. Beware we're not alone here. I don't care what this girl does. We have no connection with each other. You guys should keep a close watch to your young master." With that he walked past Devanta. Luca grumbled something incoherent and followed him.

Devanta sighed once again heavily. Remembering that she wanted to look for grandpa and Mr. Scott. She looked around the room. Her gaze stopped at the sight of Andrew and Jackson. Both were still downing drink after drink but now were staring after every shot at each other fiercely. She wanted to ignore the two idiots and continue look for grandpa and Mr. Scott but then she heard glass shattering and someone shout. She looked back only to see both idiots punching each other.

A few security guards tried to stop them but neither Andrew or Jackson could be stopped. They just pushed the men aside and stormed at each other. A few more men came and also tried to help their colleagues but they also got pushed aside.

Devanta sighed again. What a wonderful night. (Please note the sarcasm here.) She walked through the crowd that had gathered around the two and soon reached them.

Jackson was trying to land another punch on Andrew's face, before he could do that Devanta stepped in between and caught his fist in his hand. Andrew saw the chance to land a punch instead. Devanta saw it coming and pushed her elbow back to his stomach. The impact held Andrew back but in the mean time Jackson released his first out of Devanta's hand and tried to kick Andrew. Devanta tried to block his kick and stretched her foot out. Her heel met his foot which caused Jackson to whince in pain. Before even one of them could react Devanta grabbed Jackson's arm and pinned it at his back and then she headlocked Andrew who was holding his stomach from her punch. With both under control she spoke, "You two idiots quit this nonsense. Everyone is watching. You guys are CEOs. You can't do that."

The crowd around them laughed. Seeing two young men getting held back by a girl was truly a sight they won't forget so fast.

"He hit me first", Andrew scoffed.

"What are you saying? You provoked me", Jackson retorted.

Devanta tightened her grip on Jackson's back and on Andrew's head.

"Quit it already. You are behaving like little kids. You both come with me sober up." She pulled both of then with her.

Everyone looked at her in amazement. When the trio left the room everyone was talking about what happened. Some were disappointed that they weren't that fast to film the whole incident. Some of them had managed to take photos but when they wanted to share this a few security men stepped before them and deleted all photos and files.
