They were both passing each other, both stopped to gaze at the same thing, and both noticed their gaze was directed to the same object; The Rhinestone Kings Crown.
The man gives the lady a look of suspicion, in return, she gives the same look, And with that, they both glare at each other. The man knows ''All too well'' as to why the lady came and is determined to prevent it.
The lady takes a side step in front of a man holding a tray of champagne and takes one off Still looking at the man as she takes a sip. The man; coming forward meets her as she continues to down the drink while looking at him through the glasses' brim. Swallowing slowly she lowers it down to stare at him, then gives a faint smile.
"Hello," she greets. The man looks around before returning his attention to her.
"Good evening," he said, taking in her appearance.
"Can you believe the prince is about to become the next king?" The lady asked trying to create a decent topic to buy herself some time. She can tell he's on to her and could tell he's not quite the type to uphold a conversation.
"Well...I can tell you're not buying my act, so why spend my time trying?" She says with a kind smile. She takes another sip and inhales deeply, sighing as she moves closer to him, waiting for his reply. When she notices him lift his brow, she tilts her head and murmurs,
"I'm willing to bet you're underpaid?" "And you're in serious need of a real paying wedge?" she speculated, leaning back and observing his look.
Seeing him remain motionless with a frozen expression, she giggles.
"What if I said I could give you a nice return out of the strategy I'm putting in place?" She offers, reaching out a hand and placing a half-drunk glass of champagne on the tray of a passing waiter. He studies her, taking in the way she's so relaxed. and determined to bargain freely. Clever as she is he sees the way she's urgent to gain his partnership.
He cracks a smile. "Well. . .That's quite a bargain your promoting, you sure you could live up to it?" He questions, taking her hand in his as the dance-tunes start. She follows suit, following his lead she rests her hand on his shoulder.
"I think I could manage," She prompts allowing him to swing her along the dance floor with others.
His eyes fixed on hers, finding they're going to need to come to a real option about the bargain; and if they don't? he'll be forced to alert the others about the scheming plot she's letting on so carelessly.
"Well. . .Let's say. Theoretically speaking. I do agree to follow up on the offer you promote? How much are you willing to split. . .Mhm. . .or will you just expect me to accept and allow you to lead me on, and at the end of it, take it all for yourself?" His eyes twinkle with flames, finding he's caught her off-guard with this accusation of his.
But before she can even bluff herself out of it, he's twirling her in a circle, then bringing her into a position that takes her out in a spiraling twist and back into his arms, then dropping her halfway and looking into her eyes teasingly at the hit of the melody.
His arm stabilizes her lower back and slowly pulls her up.
"Fine!" She hisses, followed by, "If you don't believe me, how about I reveal my true identity? So if I don't fall in line with the bargain, you can use it against me." She makes an acrimonious proposal.
He straightens up just as the music stops. "I've already got it," He grinned, "from when you put it on the sign-in list." She squints at him stupidly. "I'm going to pretend you didn't say that." She rolled her eyes. His brow furrows in perplexity. "And why is that?" He enquired. She gives him a long, hard look. "Who do you think I am?" She expressed her resentment. "Don't you know I'm not the one to just write down my real name, don't you even know why I'm here?" she accuses.
He grunts, knowing better now, and wonders why he ever thought he had her there for a moment. "Then tell me what it really is," he said dismissively. She gives a shaky nod. "Not in the open for everyone to hear." Then she takes his hand and leads him through an open area near a door, looks around, and pushes both herself and him into the room, then closes it behind her.
