E L I O
Manhattan had never looked brighter. Even this late into the night, it
seemed to Elio that everything was sparkling and giving off light
in a special sort of way that never happened during daylight hours.
He was watching the party from a little nook he had found for himself in the
penthouse suite. Floor-to-ceiling windows looked out across the city, lights
everywhere far below, mirroring the stars above. And inside was just as
glittering. Crystal glasses shone as people sipped their drinks, diamond
rings and pearl necklaces reflecting the soft lights from above. Even guests’
smiles seemed to be shining as they talked, ate, drank and laughed in a
dizzying blur of golden luxury.
Elio stayed in his partially private nook, wishing he could go home. More
accurately, if he was going to be working — and this party definitely
counted as work — he at least wanted to be at the office instead of here. At
least then he could be productive. He could look over the latest international
supply contracts that had come through or prepare for the meeting he had
with his advertising team later in the week. That would be useful. That
would, at the very least, be interesting.
Unfortunately, it was his party for his company, so there was an obligation
to be there. His work might be his life, but he didn’t enjoy this side of it.
Showing up, smiling, doing the rounds of handshakes and kisses on cheeks.
It felt unproductive. His product could speak for itself; organically grown
grapes from the heart of Italy, distilled and matured to perfection and
poured into wine glasses for his guests. He’d named this newest incarnation
Oro — Italian for gold — because that’s exactly what it was. It was the
best. But there were expectations, the main one being that he actually
showed up, looked halfway enthused and gave a speech and a toast.
The smell of wine was dizzying, glasses full of rich, red liquid in
everyone’s hand. Despite the itch to leave and be alone for a while, Elio
found himself smiling, just a little. It was satisfying to finally see the
product in people’s hands, delighting everyone’s taste buds. There were
plenty of wineries around the world with an innumerable number of wines
at everyone’s fingertips, but it was something special to be one of the best.
Elio split his time between New York and Italy, not only running the
business side of things but also making sure to be at the vineyards in person
to make sure the product was perfect.
No matter how much he tried to hide in plain sight, it wasn’t easy for Elio
to fade into the background. He was taller than most people, and oliveskinned thanks to the Italian blood in his veins. Along with his dark hair and
ice-blue eyes, he cut a striking figure, especially at a party wearing a
custom pinstripe suit.
Already he’d had several women approach him this
evening, looking for who knew what. A date? A relationship? A bit of
attention?
