Chapter 45Lucien was aware of the masks as he was the one who ordered the president to allow the use of them if he wanted him to be present at his show.Had it been the woman never invited him, the man would have coldly rejected the president but had to yield the request with the use of a mask.By the time they got inside the event had started and people had their gaze focused on the stage where the models were showcasing their works.Avery brought out the invitation in her hand to check her seat number, her eyes almost popped out of the socket when she saw her seat number was sixty-nine.“What the heck!” She almost screamed out as she instantly used her eyes to scan the whole area and was rendered speechless when she saw she wouldn't be able to see anything going on the stage.“Well, I'm not here for her anyway, I'm here for food!” She thought of replacing the shock expression with a broad smile.“Since you followed me to this event, I'll be nice and give you my seat number!” She sa
Chapter 46“What a big-time disgusting celebrity,” He muttered with an irritated expression as he seemed to find the acts disgusting.“Excuse me, Mr Holman, did you just say something?” The man narrowed his gaze dangerously at the man making him feel shivers run down his spine.“Ah, Mr. Lucien, I was talking about the lady over there who was stuffing all the pastries inside her mouth like a hungry starved cow,” Mr. Holman said, quickly clearing up the air as he thought Lucien might have thought he was using the word disgusting for him.Of course, the man had no idea the person he had just cursed with heavy words happened to be the man's wife he had no idea maybe because he had his mask on and had a little bit of struggle to see clearly.“Oh!” The man coldly said feeling more than annoyed even though he could see the man wasn't aware of who Eileen was to him.The president's secretary who was at the man's right hand quickly whispered something into the man's ears which made him spring
Chapter 47Avery struggled hard to unlink their arms and walked to the other side of the table checking out the delicacies trying to avoid unnecessarily linking arms together but as expected she kept following her everywhere.“Eileen, Why are you eating so much tonight? It won't be good for your image to add unnecessary weight,” She said and eventually linked their arms together.“Ah, Can you just free me, please? I want to breathe!” She could only think of the words inside her head, she was unable to say those words out.Avery was on the brink of losing her patience, exasperated by her choice of words and how she kept following her around every single minute like a lost puppy. She bit her tongue trying to hold back the words that were just bubbling up inside her.Avery just couldn't understand why Sophia was persistent and always wanted to be close to her when they were together but thinking about it, they've been childhood friends and it was quite unexpected but Avery found it a li
Chapter 48Avery tried reading the lady's expression and could see her being fearful over the word's surprise but she couldn't bring herself to ask why she was like that. Avery thought surprises were bound to make people happy but seeing her facial expressions she thought otherwise.“Believe me, Sophia, you'll love it!” Avery calmly said.Even though she didn't know the reason for her moody expression she was still sure Sophia would love the surprise she prepared.One wouldn't blame Avery for being confident in her surprise as she has given the same surprise to others and they always had a satisfied expression which signifies her surprise is tangible.The two ladies made their way out of the event, Avery was on her way to the car while Sophia had to follow her when she knew her bestie came for her.The walk outside was boring and silent as Avery was busy strolling through her phone, all her attention was taken by what she was doing on her own, Sophia didn't want to disturb her much an
Chapter 49Avery watched her retreating figure going back inside the event and didn't know when her heart felt heavy, the more she was going the more they kept weaving at each other as if they wouldn't be seeing each other till eternity.She realized the pain from being betrayed by someone dear to her heart made her like that. After being hurt like that she made up her mind not to see a single soul as her friend.Even though it was a bit hard to tell she could see the lady see Eileen as a friend genuinely but seemed Eileen was the one making use of their so-called friendship.Realized Eileen and Isabella lived the same lifestyle but that Eileen kept her dignity well so they were a little bit different from each other, just their mentality and behaviors seemed the same.“I'll treat her right, she's a dear friend to the owner of the body and seemed a little bit different from her,” Avery thought to herself as Sophia's retreating figure was finally out of sight.“Hey, are you gonna stay
Chapter 50“What are you two doing there!” The guard yelled as he flashed out his light at the two people who had been in that position for close to fifty minutes and yet they didn't move.The guard had been watching them through the CCTV till his eyes became sore, he had thought they were statues as the darkness surrounding them was making them look like a couple of statues.The sudden beam of light pierced through the two people's faces distracting their attention. They turned around to see the guard standing afar while flashing his light in their direction. The brightness of the light almost blurred their sight.“What are you doing?” The man demanded. The two people froze their hearts pounding heavily as if they had just stolen something.The guard started taking each step towards them but Lucien was fast enough to reach out for the woman's hand, pulling her towards their car which was waiting for them at the parking lot.The holding of hands before the two people was so natural th
Chapter 51Butler Lee had his mouth opened in thorough surprise, he didn't seem to believe that he wasn't dreaming when he saw the couples running towards the car while holding hands, it was so natural that one could easily mistake the act as what real couples do.The pleasure on each of their faces knew no bounds, the man could tell they were having fun while running towards the car, especially his master.The man has been with Lucien for quite a period and has never seen the man smile and be in a good state and have enough fun. He has been used to being alone and smoking endlessly for the few years he has worked under the man.Almost immediately, the man quickly unlocked the car's door making it easier for them to enter at any time they were ready to hop inside the car.“Ah,” Butler Lee rasped loudly, his heart thumping in his chest as he watched the man narrowly escape bumping by the car. Even though the car wasn't on emotion, it was still a situation where anyone would have been s
Chapter 52“Get seated, I'm aware of every little detail about you.”“Is it how your boyfriend broke your heart and you went to the club to get drunk to end up having a ninightstandith a lady of your gender when you're straight,”“Is it how you're automatically changed from straight to lesbian?” Leah said laughing hysterically with confidence.“You must have read a lot of details about me, Miss, I didn't know I had become popular to that extent,” Lily said, trying to be polite as much as she could. At least for the honor of the fact she and Mia dated each other before.“Yes, I did,”“I did check on who was able to capture my girlfriend's heart but …….” Lilly interrupted her before she could finish her words” Ex-girlfriend, not girlfriend, please try to differentiate between the two” Lilly said with a broad smile.Cut!~~~~~The director yelled with a broad smile, just like he expected the acting of the two ladies was so amazing that an ordinary director wouldn't be able to know the o
