Charlus saw everyone clapping for him. He saw the girl was frightened. Charlus put the girl down and decided he had to leave.

"I am very sorry, but I am going to have to leave."

Charlus walked away from the cast, ignoring the calls of the director. He did not want to do any more stuff that would get him into complicated business. Why did he need that much attention?

Charlus turned a corner and then started picking up speed. He was going to a store to get his clothes. He told Denise that he would go with her to the gala but he didn't bring proper clothes much less a suit.. So he had to go buy them.

Charlus went to a huge store that seemed very fancy. He went to an attendant.

"Excuse me? Could you help me choose a suit?"

Charlus walked out with a bag in his hand. He was going back to the mansion. He was going to get ready and then escort Denise. He was pretty sure the person bugging her would come straight to her house if he was very serious.

Charlus reached the mansion after around 8 hours after leaving. It was around 4 PM when he reached the mansion. 

Charlus entered and greeted Denise who was watching TV on the couch in the living room.

"Don't you have any movies to act in?" Charlus asked her.

"I don't. I'm on a break." Denise replied. "And you don't have to come with me today." She told Charlus.

Charlus showed Denise his bag.

"Well, too late. I'll go and take a bath. When are we leaving?"

"6 PM." Denise turned back to the television. She had a facial mask but nothing for her eyes. Charlus went to one of the many bathrooms in the huge mansion to get ready.

Charlus got out of the bathroom with a fresh towel and went to his room from there. He was wiping his body with the towel on the way. He had spent a little too much time in the shower and needed to shower.

Charlus went to his room and started dressing. He needed to get ready for this 'gala'. He quickly put on the suit he got. It was a pretty ballsy suit and if this wasn't a formal event, Charlus would be in the centre of attraction, but Charlus was willing to take the risk.

Charlus went downstairs at around 5:45 once he was completely ready. He sat down on the couch and started writing important notes on his phone - strategies to increase levelling speed.

Suddenly, he heard something. He looked up and saw Denise come down the stairs. He smiled. She was very beautiful.

Denise was in a long sleeveless red gown that brought attention to her. As for himself, he was wearing a white suit, because what colour wouldn't white go with? Charlus handed his hand to her when she got down.

"Ready to go?" Charlus asked Denise. Denise nodded. Charlus helped Denise get outside the mansion. She was in heels and a very long gown - it is hard to walk in those. 

Charlus saw a limousine parked outside the mansion. He was unaware that they would be going in a limousine but looking at Denise's dress, he understood why. 

They made their way to this gala while Denise took something out from her handbag.

"Here. It's a masked gala." She handed Charlus a mask that covered just his eyes. Charlus took it and put it over his face. He was using masks a lot it was time he got an actual well-crafted mask. That was Charlus' next thing on the list.

Charlus waited for almost an hour until they came to a stop. Charlus stopped Denise from getting ready to go.

"Just one question. Maybe two. One is this a dinner thing?"

"No." Denise shook her head.

"Okay. So no eating too much. Got it. Then two - is this like a ball type? Like with dancing?"

Denise laughed. "No. Think of it as a family event with everyone there knowing everyone else. And you are my boyfriend who I am going to introduce to my family."

Charlus laughed. "Hardly. I'm just a friend. I don't think I can have a serious relationship as a 17-year-old."

Denise suddenly tensed.

"You're 17? Not even 18? That means you're not even an adult!"

Charlus ignored Denise and opened the door to the Gala. He was expecting to see at least a few photographers but there wasn't a single person in sight at the entrance.

"Did I scare everyone away?" Charlus asked Denise.

"This is a very private event. I am not even attending this as an actress - just as my father's daughter. And you are my good friend who agreed to accompany me. Happy?"

Denise huffed. She then took Charlus' arm and proceeded to enter the huge hall in front of them. Charlus looked around and saw that this hall was looking solid but built in the middle of nowhere. Charlus saw a couple of mansion-like houses nearby and golf courses but that was where it ended. 

Hence Charlus assumed that he was in a sort of residential area or a recreational area for very rich people. The hall was perhaps their source of recreation. Charlus sighed - he felt out of place.

Charlus entered alongside Denise. He looked at the entrance which was adorned with flowers. He looked ahead and saw a huge area filled with tables and a stage with a podium. Everyone was walking around the space between the tables and talking to each other. 

Denise walked very slowly, looking for someone. Meanwhile, Charlus was observing everyone there to see if there was anyone dangerous. Charlus was first looked at the young people there who were all below Lvl 50. They weren't a threat to him. 

He wanted to look at them first because they were most likely to suddenly feel like going after him. After all, he was out of place there. Charlus then observed the middle-aged and old guys.

Denise, meanwhile, found who she was looking for.
