Chapter five

                               Grace's POV 

  "What is written in there?" Lisa asked as she stretched out hand for the card but I was faster.

  I shred the little paper in multiple pieces before she was able to snatch it from. 

  "what did you do that for ?! she yelled at me  annoyed that she wasn't able to read the cheeky note. 

  "it not relevant" I replied as I walked into the room with the dress.

  "put it on" Lisa said from behind me as I stood before the mirror.

 Wordlessly I slip the soft material on. 

  Despite my doubts about the dress, it fits me perfectly well with no hitch. 

  How did he know my size! It very strange. 

  "baby, you look fascinating!" Lisa commented as I stood frozen in the front of the mirror. 

  This is too beautiful..

   "Are you sure? I asked.

  This isn't like me, I will spend the rest of night feeling like a Barbie.

 "Yeah,  you look like you are ready to walk down the alter" she replied bashfully.

   Lisa gave me a full makeover and I'm starting to grow impatient with how long it takes to get some makeup on. 

  My back is stiff from sitting in the same position for an hour. 

    "Done!" I heard Lisa exclaimed excitedly beside me making curious about my look.

  Careful I opened my eyes and I'm shocked by my reflection in the mirror. 

 "I look like a princess going for a royal party" I said quietly not quite sure how I feel about the look.

   "Let go, you have fifteenth minutes left" Lisa said beside me worsening my composure. 

 Lisa decided to be my chauffeur tonight, solely because she doesn't want me to ruin my look.

  I really don't care about ruining my dress because I don't give a fuck about it but I don't want to embarrass Mr Hyde at the party.

  I walk slowly behind Lisa in my heels and I can already feel blisters forming on my poor foot.

  This is going to be a long night! 

   "Ma'am,  please follow me"  a young man bow slightly before me, with a hand gesturing towards a Maybach parked feets away from us. 

  "who... Are you? I asked confused. 

  "I was asked to escort you" he replied in a calm voice.

  "Mr Hyde asked me to bring you" he said again answering my silent question.

   

  Lisa blew me a kiss as the car roared to life  and drove away from the house.

  

 It took us ten minutes to reach our destination, from inside the car I can see the elegantly decorated building. Rows of expensive luxury vehicles lined up outside, the way people are dressed make me realize that I wasn't no where near extravagantly dressed  as I earlier thought I was dressed. 

 My palm became sweaty as my escort opens the door for me to come out of the car. 

  I took a deep breath and gather my dress, with uncertainty written on my face I step out of the car and to my horror camera started flashing at me as reporters took pictures of me. 

  This is bad! 

   Bravely I walk down the short red carpet hoping I don't trip on my dress and kiss the floor.

  I thought I was supposed to be here as someone representative not as a princess. 

   I successfully made it inside without embarrassing myself, eyes turned towards me and curious gazes were thrown at me. 

     

  "You need some help young lady ?" a sexy voice said behind me. I turned around to see a cute guy with a charming smile looking at me.  

  He is slightly taller than me thanks to my heels, his eyes the deepest shade of green I have ever seen. 

   "Hello? He said waving at me with a one lifted Sandy brow. 

  "oh, I'm sorry..

  "I.. was.. Lost in thought" I replied embarrassed for spacing out. 

  "I haven't seen you before, what is your name?" he ask smiling cutely. 

  "Grace" I replied curtly. 

  "Grace? He asked giving me a confused look. 

  "my name is Grace" I replied. 

  "oh! I'm sorry for that. I'm Daniel"

  "Well,  Grace is dressed gracefully" he said in his sexy voice.

  I laughed out nervously drawing a few strange look toward us. 

  

   "let sit down" he said gesturing towards the nearest seat.

      

   "I don't think that will be necessary" a voice said behind me startling me. 

  Am I hearing things now! 

    "Mr Hyde!, i never thought I would see you here tonight!" Daniel said beside me.

  I turned to face the  man that made me dress up like this tonight because he claimed to be out on a business trip. 

  We stare at each other for a few minutes making the atmosphere awkward. 

  "Excuse me" Daniel said softly as he left us alone. 

  "I thought you were supposed to be at Utah?" I asked through gritted teeth as he walked  closer to me.

"I finished early than I expected" he replied in his hoarse voice. 

"so are you telling me  that I wear this dress and had my foot in a cage just for nothing!?" I ask feeling annoyed for the trouble I went through to achieve this look.

  "You look beautiful dressed like that ,  you always look beautiful but you look more beautiful tonight" he replied shamelessly rendering me speechless, I became as red as a tomato. 

  "If your foot is  aching I can give you a massage after the party" he whispered huskily in my ear and he is still able to keep a straight face when I'm crimson red.

  

  The boring party has been going for about three hours and I'm bored out of my mind. 

  I always thought events like this is always interesting and full of fun but I'm here sitting wanting to go home. 

  "What are you doing!?" I gasped as I felt a warm hand on my thigh.

 "Giving you mini massage" he replied as his hand pressed slightly against my skin. 

Embarrassed I removed his hand and he gave me a look as if I have grown a horn. 

  "No, I don't need it" I replied trying to remove his hand from my lap. 

   "I promised to give you a massage and I decided to start now" he said smoothly with the slightest change in his expression. 

"I thought you said you don't mix work with pleasure" I asked slightly flustered.
