Ellie rolled her eyes . "Cheyenne, I told you . I'm not married . I am just lucky to have Henry as a family friend who wanted to look after me . He is extremely generous and kind to have me in his home . I don't want to give anyone the wrong impression . Would I have a wedding and not invite you guys, my tried and true friends? Of course not . That would be not right on so many levels . "

Advertis.e.m.e.ntHenry shook his head, "I envy who is married to Ellie Chen, unfortunately I am not him . "

Olga looked from one to the other . "I'm sure a lot of people would want to be married to either of you . I hear Mr . Wong that you are on the list of New York's most eligible bachelors . You're so out of our leagues, a cold high society man is what they call you . " The blush on her cheeks was rapidly changing from a soft rose to a deeper red .

Henry was happy to see so many people in a house that had been empty for such a long time . He wondered if he could turn Wong Manor into a retirement home or a house for orphans . It would be nice to have children running around here again . But such arrangements would have to wait a bit . Henry stood . "I can see this is quite the girls club and I don't want to spoil your fun . I'll have Michael send up some finger food and have the bar opened if you'd like to try anything we have in stock . "

He turned, he knew that women were complicated . But he felt now that he had been in close quarters with one for so long, he had started to feel comfortable with the differing sociality . Ellie could bond to any person in her vicinity by being genuine and truthful . It was a trait that he envied that she was such a social b.u.t.terfly and could make bonds that had taken him years to establish .

He was sure some social scientist had often said that humans were social creatures . He had never felt the need himself, Henry was only social when need be . He preferred to live quietly when he wasn't doing business . He wished he could interact with people so casually as Ellie could -- people usually were just interested in his net worth .

"I can't stop shaking . . . " Olga commented lightly as she continued to roll her dice with her predatory eyes on Henry's retreating figure .

Ellie looked at her hands and saw the money was sliding out of hands . Her vision swam in front of her and she turned to her friends who were playing idly like nothing was wrong . She started to shapes dip in and out of existence and she realized it probably was past the point she should have guests .

The room around her spun upside down and she wondered what what time it was . She knew Henry had come to visit her excitedly and he had smiled until the presence of other people had wiped the expression off of his face . Why was he smiling? Why had he come?
