The next day...........Camille's office. “There's a party tomorrow tonight,” Tiffany handed over the invitation to Camille who collected it.Camille shrugged, “Is it necessary I attend?”“Yes it is, and you are going with a date.” Tiffany muttered."A date? Come on that's hilarious." Camille eyed her. "Oh, you think I made it up. Well, it's bodly written on the invitation card. You can check it yourself." Tiffany shrugged picking up some files. "I'll send this over to Sofia," she said the files in her hand. “When are you leaving?” Camille asked.“In thirty minutes. I wonder who would request specially for me.” she muttered.“You can't find out unless you go.” Camille murmured her eyes fixed on the computer.Tiffany and Sofia worked on the necessary design, twenty minutes later, Tiffany left.*****Tiffany put on her delivery cloth, “This is the last time I'm literally doing this.” she sneered.She checked the address again to be certain, “Why do I feel like I'm going to hate this?
Tiffany eyes narrowed, “But why? What's in it?” “Take a look.”She gave him a suspicious look, he was standing in front of her. He nodded with a smile urging her to keep opening the package. She tore it open completely and behold it was a lovely dress, costly at that.“But why? I…I…don't understand.” she stuttered trying to make sense of the whole situation.“It's my first gift to you, Tiffany. I don't know how to explain this, but I'm in love with you.” He struggled to spit out the words. The words came out like they were fighting in his mouth.Tiffany smiled warmly, and looked up to him, she folded the dress back and returned it to Ethan." I'm sorry, but I can't accept this." she sighed looking apologetic. “ Why? Is something wrong with the dress? You don't like it?" he asked.Tiffany shook her head,”Of course not. The problem is not the dress, it's me.” she mumbled.“You don't love me.” Ethan's gaze turned downward as he said in a low tone.“It's not that, Ethan. Of course, I do
“Huh, did you see me bully the child? He took my scarf at first and refused to give it back, what's wrong about me trying to take back what's mine?” she pouted, staring at him.“Alright, my baby never did wrong. The child deserves to be punished more. I saw you hit your head, does it still hurts?” Ethan placed his palm on her head. When he touched a spot, she winced slightly."Good thing we are at the hospital. Come let's go see the doctor.“ Tiffany smiled secretly at how he swept her off her feet. She flinched seeing him carry her in a hasty manner."Hey, you don't have to do this much. People are looking.” she whispered the last part. Her head hidden in his chest as they got to a group of nurses.“It's an emergency, please I need someone to check on my wife.” he said at the verge of tears. Tiffany could not help but let out a small inaudible laugh.The nurses heard someone laugh, their eyes on Ethan.Ethan felt awkward by their stares, "I said it's an emergency.“ he said again slow
“He was betrayed once. We were so scared he would even die, he became extremely sick and refused to talk to anyone. He destroyed anything at sight, at some point he began to hallucinate. He nearly loosed his mental sense, anyone he saw was her. Grandma was terrified, and she would run into a heart attack most times.”Camille listened inventively as he spoke. “What did she do?”Ethan chuckled dryly. “On the day he was to propose to her, she gave him a location and when he went there. He was met with naked women doing all sort of things you can imagine. Some had five naked men all over them. Six men were all over her and Sean was made to watch the scene. We couldn't find him for three days. And when we did, he could barely remember a thing.”“Why did she do that?”Ethan shrugged, “She's a spy and was sent to Spy on Sean but nobody knows who sent her. It's been six years now, we've not seen or heard of her. Sean, loved her. She was there with him when his parents died and became a reason
They lay on the lush green grass, the soft blades tickling their skin as they gazed up at the night sky. Sean's eyes were fixed on the stars, while Camille rested her head on his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart."Camille," he whispered, his voice barely audible over the crickets' gentle chirping. "Look at the stars. They're beautiful tonight."Camille shifted, lying beside him, her eyes following his gaze upwards. The stars shined brightly like diamonds against the dark blue sky. "They are beautiful," she murmured, a soft smile spreading across her face."Just like you," Sean added, his voice low and his eyes locked on hers. Camille's heart skipped a beat as she turned to meet his gaze, lost in each other. Finally, they broke apart, Camille sitting up, as her cheeks flushed with a gentle blush.Sean stood up, his hands extended towards her, helping her to her feet. "Come, there's something I want to show you," he said, a smile on his lips. Camille raised an eyebrow lo
The red carpet was abuzz with activity as cameras clicked and reporters clamored for attention, all vying for a glimpse of the A-list celebrities arriving at the exclusive event. The air was filled with anticipation, the smell of designer perfumes and freshly polished leather filling the air as everyone waited to see their favourite celebrities. "That's Mr. Smith and his daughter!" a reporter screamed, dashing towards them with camera in hand, as the guards swiftly cleared a path through the throng of journalists. "Please, ma'am, just a word!" they chorused, desperate for a soundbite.Sophie smiled brightly, posing for the cameras. She had a hard time pleading with her dad to let her come along with him. She whined pouting her lips as she offered to be his date. Mr. Smith had no choice, she is his sweet daughter he can hardly resist. She always knows how to cajole him into getting whatever she wants so he reluctantly agreed. She squealed happily leaving the room after planting kisses
"If it isn't Camille Riley, CEO of gracious fashion industry. It's finally nice to meet.“ A man with a mustache approached where Camille and Sean stood.Camille looked at the man, his face looked familiar, but she could not quite place where she has seen him before. Perhaps it was when she was still a teen or so. "And you must be Sean Rodriguez, it's an honor to finally meet both of you.” He stood in front of them, looking from Sean to Camille, smiling.“It's an honor to meet you too.” Sean offered a handshake. “And you must be?””Ah—I'm Mr. Sam. A businessman, I had a share in your father's company while he was still alive.“ he said. ”It's fine if you don't recognize me, you were still little then.“ he laughed and Sean smiled a little.”See you around Mr. Sam. It was a pleasure meeting you.“ Sean gently said politely.”Oh, it's no problem. Here is my card.“ he brought out a business card from his pocket giving it to Sean. ”Let's have a drink sometime and have a little chat.“Sean nod
Ethan held Tiffany's arm as they walked on the red carpet, his boss was invited but was unable to come and asked Ethan to take his place.They walked inside the party while Tiffany looked around nervously. She tries to call Camille, but she wasn't picking.“Perhaps where she's at is noisy. We would find her for sure. Wait here while I go get us something to drink.” Ethan said and left.Tiffany was on a short strapless black gown, her dress was simple yet alluring. She was on a light make up and her skin glowed in the room. She tapped her finger on her purse nervously.“Hey sweetie.” A young man approached her, he wasn't bad looking, but he reeked of alcohol. He stood beside her, his hand on her back. Tiffany could not help but scrunch her nose as he moved closer.“Is something wrong pretty?” She shook her head, watching as his hands went to her back.“Oh, do not worry. I mean no harm.” he smiled, but Tiffany was not buying it, her expression was stern.“You should smile a little, don'
