"By the way, tomorrow's party theme is masquerade. It is a sudden surprise I planned" Jasper chuckled. 

But, this made Biyu froze. 

Masquerade….??

She remember very properly. Her dress, she designed few years back, which she will be wearing for banquet….she had actually designed a face mask for it as well.  

But when Linda left her the jewelry and dress, she didn't leave a face mask along with it. 

Instead of it, she wrote in the letter that she has another gift prepared for her. She even told that she will be attending the banquet. 

When Biyu read it, she was really ecstatic thinking that there will be at least some chances for her to find out who Linda is…

However, if it is masquerade….then the chances are almost zero. 

"I planned it masquerade all in a sudden. When you said that you wanted to attend, I thought that it is better not to show yourself more to the outer world. Who knows what kind of surprises Linda had hidden before she died. It is still not time to disclose your face." Jasper said as he caressed her cheeks. 

Alex might have already announced Linda's come back, however, the information about the press conference will never spread as fast as a hot topics of a banquet of biggest companies.  

So, for now, many people knows about her come back but not everyone. 

"Moreover, I want to dance with you Eve. Our first dance" Jasper whispered in her ear. "I don't want to miss it but at the same time I don't want others to find out about us. It will disrupt your revenge plan and probably place you in danger too. As I will be changing my dress after the speech, no one can suspect that it is the CEO who is dancing with you" Jasper chuckled as he deposited her on the bed. 

Tucking her in his bed he went inside the washroom to freshen up. He already asked maids to s.h.i.+ft Biyu's things into his room. 

Meanwhile, Biyu thought about it. Yes, even she want to dance with Jasper. But if others see his face while he gives the speech, he will become the center of attention and his mysterious ident.i.ty will be revealed. And, if that happens he can't ask for the dance. 

It will give her an exposure not only in this country but other countries too. 

And, this might cause Linda's enemies to find her or realize the relations.h.i.+p between her and Jasper. 

Who knows what Linda has hidden for them….

More importantly, Jasper's enemies are not yet aware that he has a girlfriend who is his weakest and soft spot. And, Jasper would never expose her to any danger again. 

After some time, Jasper came out in his black t s.h.i.+rt and black night pants. He is totally handsome and exceptionally enchanting in black. 

This made Biyu drool. But she of course didn't show it to Jasper. He will tease her for sure…  

"You didn't sleep yet?" Jasper asked as he laid down beside her under the same duvet, wrapping his arm around her waist. 

Biyu instantly snuggled in, her head on his chest and her arms wrapped around his waist. "I wanted to wait for you" she yawned. 

She is mentally exhausted because of Linda and the shocks she has been giving her.  

"Hmm…..I am here. Don't worry about nightmares.  Sleep now, Ms. Clingy" Jasper teased. 

Biyu couldn't help but pout. "Am I being clingy?" she deliberately  puppy eyed making Jasper melt right away. 

He laughed and pinched her cheeks. Their faces are just an inch away from each other and they can feel their heart beat in their ears. "But I love it when you stick to me like this" he said in deep voice. 

It is extremely calm that they can even hear their haggard breath. The impact they have on each other is totally intense and sensitive. 

It just take a word to trigger the love and compa.s.sion for each other. Without knowing to each other, their lips involuntarily clashed with each others and their kiss deepened. 

Biyu want him to take it further and she knew that she is ready for it. Even Jasper realized it but he want to propose to her before indulging into something that would tie them up together forever by soul, heart and body 

After kissing to their heart content, Jasper sighed. He want to make Biyu his, in every means but he should wait for it. 

This is not the right time yet. 

"Love, it's already four in morning. I have made you some appointments with the stylists and makeup artists. I even prepared the mask for you. At first, I thought of preparing you a dress as well but Alex told me that you went to meet Stan. So, I haven't prepared one" Jasper said. 

Biyu sweetly smiled. He is very, very busy in many aspects yet he thought about everything related to her. It was enough to make her happy. 

"It's fine. I love Stan's work. Hmm…..let's sleep, I am already tired" Biyu yawned a little and snuggled like a little kitten. 

Jasper smiled and kissed her forehead before pecking her lips. "Good night love" he whispered into her ear. 

But his eyes are fixed on her left hand, mainly her ring finger which is empty. 

After the banquet, he is going to propose to her in such a way that she would never forget it.
