Truth be told, Daniel had been half asleep in the car that has escorted him to the event since he was only just coming down from his jet-lag. As a CEO he had certain responsibilities that kept him bouncing around from one management area of his company, to other, reassuring various shareholders, and generally just sucking the joy out of his day. So, events like this were rare escapes for Daniel where he could just kick back and relax. Relaxation, of course, being in the form of a hard drink, or three, and the company of someone that neither recognized him nor cared who he was. One of the few reasons he made a point of attending any masquerade ball that he could when he went globe-trotting. It did help that it was so wickedly fun to tease someone when there was nothing but anonymity on the table.<br/><br/>The car had pulled up and instead of exiting from the main door, Daniel stepped out from the driver’s seat and tossed his keys to a valet. About a mile or two from the mansion Daniel had given his driver a mask, and put him in the back, and told him to enjoy himself tonight. It wasn’t out of kindness, it just meant that his driver would serve as a nice distraction, detracting from him. After all nobody would care what mask the driver was wearing, but whoever stepped out the backseat of the black Cadillac would cause a few people to pay attention. Daniel was having none of that.<br/><br/>He left his driver to bask in the lime-light while he made a quick retreat through the various crowds of people chattering amongst themselves. He wandered around the entrance for a while, looking for someone, or something, exciting. Eventually he was about to give up his search and decide to look elsewhere when a certain red-dressed beauty arrived. Her arrival in the limo had peaked some of his curiosity, and the gold mask bejeweled with various gems certainly drew his attention. Now she, was a real catch. Just the type of person that someone like him wanted to get close to and seduce under the guise of amenity. It was probably not fair that he’d paid special attention to her because she came out of the limo, but then again for all he knew someone was playing the same trick as him. It didn’t change the fact that whoever had come out of the limo was stunning, and his type, and completely worthy of being pursued.<br/><br/>Which was why, even though Daniel had stood there watching her saunter off, he soon quickly made up his mind to follow her. He watched as she made her way through the crowd, various people, mingling and meeting before she finally grabbed at the first champagne glass that had passed her and downed it. The scene caused him to smile before he soon fetched down the waiter, taking two glasses from him as he made his way over to the spinning damsel. He touched the glass in his left hand against the back of her shoulder, the cool glass against her skin, before walking around to face her, if she didn’t turn slightly towards the foreign touch. The glass hand extended towards her as a slight smile decorated his lips. <strong>"It seems like you’re going to need another."</strong> Behind that white mask his blue eyes stared down at her, a little gleam of mischief hidden away in that ocean of blue but it didn’t change the fact that he was looking at her intently not unlike a prospector having finally found a vein of gold. </span>
