Chapter: Unexpected Reunions

The evening went on as the clock stroked 10 pm. Mandy was by Kaiba's side throughout the entire evening. She was use to this by now. This happens every time there was some 'important' conversation going on. Kaiba was too getting bored. Well actually, he was bored from the beginning.

Mandy glanced side to side as her eyes wandered around the grand ballroom. Suddenly, her eyes widen as she spotted something. Something that she feared… or was it someone?

As everyone was seated to their perspective arranged tables, Kaiba allowed his eyes to wander off as his eyes fell onto Mandy. His sapphire eyes glistened in curiosity as he examined Mandy. Her face seemed paler that before and she didn't seem to be pay attention to anything around her. Something was going on, however Kaiba couldn't figure it out. Who would? No one can understand her…

A middle aged man walked up to the stand and waited for silence. As soon as it was quiet, his voice boomed.



"Thank You for coming ladies and gentlemen! This is our 5th annual grand ball and I hope that you enjoy tonight's events!"

The audience clapped. The man on the stand cleared his throat and continued.

"Now tonight is a very special night. We have a new CEO from America who came here and host our wonderful evening here tonight. Please give a warm welcome to… Mrs. Annie Watson."

A middle aged women in her early forties appeared. The crowd clapped politely as Mrs. Watson entered the room and onto the stage. Her eyes darted to Kaiba's table as she eyed that direction with such mystery and wickedness. She watched the crowd as she made her way to the stand and began a speech.

"First of all, I would like to thank all of my workers of my company for such dedication and determination for my company. I would also like my family for all the support and love that you provide me when I have to work so hard to get to this very day. I want to thank my kids and my husband for everything. Last but not least, I want to thank you all for coming here today so enjoy the rest of the evening."

The audience clapped as she made her way off the stage.

Meanwhile, Mandy's hands clenched tightly and fear and anger. 'How dare she come back!?'

Mandy couldn't control it anymore and left the table and headed towards the balcony. Kaiba watched Mandy as he followed the same suit and pursued her.

Her hands gripped the railing as different thoughts and memories came flooding back to her mind.

"What do you think you are doing Henderson?"

Mandy turned around and found Kaiba facing her. His face faulted and glared at her. Mandy only turn around once again.

"I should never have came with you in the first place…" whispered Mandy.

Kaiba eyed her suspiciously and growled.

"What is wrong with you Henderson?!"

"Nothing that you should be concerned of Mr. Kaiba."

Kaiba was about to speak once again when he was interrupted by another voice.

"I'm not interrupting anything important am I?"

The voice came from the shadows and a human figure appeared. A young teen stepped out of the shadows and revealed himself. He smirked and spoke.

"Well, long time no see Mandy. It's been too long since we last saw."

Mandy turned away from the shadows and faced him. Kaiba however had no idea who this mysterious person was. The stranger looked quite young for a businessman. His hair was raven, brown and spiky. His sharp brown eyes made him look so familiar…

"What do you want Jake?" asked Mandy. She slowly turned her head to face them. Her eyes were dull and lifeless as well as full of hate and anger.

"What? No warm welcome? I'm hurt…" as Jake replied in a very sarcastic manner.

"Cut the jokes Jake. Now what do you want?" as Mandy said dangerously.

Jake smirked at her anger. He decided to take it to next level. This was going to be interesting…

"Well… you didn't introduce me to this gentlemen here…" as Jake looked at Kaiba's direction.

Mandy quickly gave a sharp answer. "Jake, This is Seto Kaiba. Seto Kaiba, This is Jake Watson. He is the son of Annie Watson." Mandy gritted at the last word.

"You forgot one more thing dear Mandy…" piped Jake.

Mandy glared at his direction. If looks could kill, Jake would be over 50 times dead before he could reach hell. Jake however turned his attention to Seto Kaiba.

"So you are the famous Seto Kaiba that I've heard much of you back in America."

Kaiba only glared in return. "What does it matter to me?"

"Well… I've heard many things about you and I barely believe half the things they say you do." challenged Jake.

Kaiba's glare only increased. Jake knew quite well of Kaiba's temperament. He was practically famous for his completive attitude. Jake smirked.

"I suppose that you and Mandy are together…?"

"No Jake. We aren't together in anyway that you're thinking…, he's only my boss since I work for him…" interrupted Mandy.

Jake frowned. "You still haven't found that special someone yet? Mandy dear, you know what's going to happen if you don't find him…"

"Don't call me that…" growled Mandy. "And we will discuss this later. Now is not the time."

Mandy dashed away furiously back into the ballroom. Kaiba looked to her direction confused as ever. Kaiba's gaze sharply turned to Jake as Jake stood there with a smug look on his face.

Jake slowly began to walk past Kaiba when Jake exchanged a few words with him. "Seto Kaiba, I suggest that you stay away from Mandy as far as possible…"spoke Jake.

Kaiba growled. "What gives you that right, Wilson?"

"It's Watson," replied Jake as he quietly growled, emphasizing Kaiba's mistake.

Jake continued, "And I have every right…" and then brushed past Kaiba, walking into the ballroom with a very satisfied grin.
