~EVA’S POV~
“Stay confident honey, today is your day,” Brenda said making me smile.
” The day I will finally pay the last price for your mistake or the day that I just started paying the price, ” I asked still smiling.
” You will never forgive me, would you? Anyways. I wish you happiness today, as your best friend” she chuckled. Her dress was shabby.
“Are going to appear at my engagement with this shabby dress? I asked with concern.
” No” she asserted abruptly. “I will wear one of my best friend’s dresses.
” You better be dreaming, except for the red dress I will be putting on this evening, my other clothes are out to be dry cleaned” she scampered to my wardrobe. She picked a black short gown, silver long heels, and a silver purse.
“Well, since this doesn’t belong to you, I might never return them”. She placed them on my bed. The clothes and accessories are automatically hers. That’s how she steals every of my cloth that she loved.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
” less I forget. Lucy is waiting for you in the dressing room” she chuckled. I left her and went to meet Lucy. I have already taken my bath 30 minutes ago and took a nap afterward before Brenda came to wake me.
She dressed me exactly the way she did yesterday, in the red long gown. The only thing I didn’t like about the long cocktail red dress was the cut on the leg that was so open that it left no for fantasy. Brenda appeared in my black short gown. It suits her well like it was originally hers.
“Are we good to go? ” she asked. She seems to be a lot more happier than me. We both entered the back seat of my dad’s latest black Ferrari.
“So finally you got a boyfriend, I used to think you will give up your inheritance and join the nuns ” I burst out in laughter, how could she be thinking that I will ever be a nun? I remember the previous years when we were still in high school.
” Why aren’t you getting a boyfriend already? It’s time Eva…” I could only stare at Chloe and smile at her remark to only get arched brows from my three high school friends.
” I don’t know yet… I guess because I haven’t found someone yet” I had said and focused on my backpack to get money for our favorite snacks.
” You do realize you have never had a boyfriend or you are still hoping that Olive will…” Brenda chirped in. I was fast to cut her off.
“He is off the plate. I’m sure that I am not thinking about him. You guys know what my father does to anyone that is interested in me or I am interested in… so it’s difficult to find someone that is sincere” I was really still thinking about olive. He was my first boyfriend. When my dad found out we were dating after two weeks of our relationship, he sent him to Italy on scholarship. I was hoping he would neglect the money and choose me but Nah, I was wrong. He left on the next day’s first flight.
” We are here already,” Brenda said excitedly snapping me out of my thought as we got to Sandros’ most exquisite hotel. The driver opened the door for us and we marched to the hotel premises.
I got in to notice a big dining area. Some were sitting while others were standing. Seeing that they were not too many audiences was a relief but everyone present seem important and close to either chairman Huxley or Mr. Alexandros. I saw people from the office. My personal secretary was looking around my father’s side. I guess she is looking for me. I couldn’t see Damien anywhere around his family or mine.
I intended to walk with Brenda but I didn’t know why I was still staring at the audience. The best thing I know, I was staring at Damien, it looked like he is walking towards me. His eyes, his Aura, and his shaved face suited him well. Realizing I was staring a lot at him, I shifted my gaze to the other people in the room. I felt his presence beside me and that got a chill ran down my spine before I heard ” Follow me”.
I was shaken badly the moment I felt one of his hands on mine and the other holding my waist. I followed him and was very much relieved when he gave a handshake to one of the guests letting go of my waist….
” Welcome,” The same golden brown-eyed punk said and sat on a white Sofa and made me sit beside him. He was acting all cool and lovely. Hmm lovely my foot. I was still mumbling when I felt a hand pressing mine.
” You look so beautiful,” A pretty young girl said. She bent and hugged me.
“You look lovely too” I hugged her back and massages her head.
” She is my trouble-packed little sister, Camilla” Damien explained. He seems to be very fond of her.
“You look so innocent and pretty” I commented on her looks. She smiled happily and snares at her brother before walking away.
My father already arrived before me. He was exchanging pleasantries with his guests.
Brenda surfaced before us with a nice-looking man. I feel I have seen him somewhere. She smiled when he saw Damien
” Nice to meet you, Damien, I am Brenda, Eva’s best friend. You can regard me as your only sister-in-law. Damien shook her hand in return.
” Won’t you introduce your man to me? ” I entreated with a serious gaze… She clenched her hands tightly on his hands.
“Promise me you won’t be shocked ”
” I won’t”
” This is Micheal your… My… I mean our blind date. ” she said anxiously. I knew his face was familiar.
” So you both came here. Do you know you are the reason I am in this situation, Michael? Did you bring him to apologize or… Wait you guys are a couple now”
” Yh” Brenda closed her eyes and nodded.
