50 minutes of facial torture and Xain was done
"Done"
He said dropping the brush
"Thank God" I sighed
"X that was a lot faster than the last time
Not that I am complaining or anything I am just.............."
I said turning to face the mirror
"Wow........."
I said in total shock as I couldn't believe the person staring back at me
"Cat got your tongue missy" he said smiling proudly to himself
"How did you......
In such a short time........"
I shuttered away still in shock
"Well the last event was to a night cl
"Good evening Ms Perez I am Mr Harrison and I am going your chauffeur for tonight" I was greeted downstairs by a middle aged man opening the back door of black sleek limo that screamed money to anyone at a 5 degree radius around it “Good evening Mr Harrison I hope I did not keeping you waiting for too long?” I asked him as I looked back one more time to Xain giving me a thumbs up, mouthing “You got this” as he got into his car “Not at all Ms Perez Shall we?” He asked again “Yes we shall And please just call me Valera&n
The next few minutes literally flashed between my eyes as I was been bombarded with flashes coming from all direction leaving me stuck as I tried to take them all in while at the same time trying to find my supposed date instead I was greeting at the entrance by a blonde guy who appeared to be his early 20s dressed smartly in a suit with a huge smile on his face“Good evening Ms PerezI would be escorting to your date this lovely night” He said extending his arms“OhOkay”I said taking his arms while trying to hide my disappointed look“So I just got to askYou didn’t ask for an invite neither did I see you peeking at a book so how do you know who I am or that I even suppose to be here tonight?”
Once i walked in and the doors were closed I noticed little candles on a stand on both side of the hallway all the way down but somehow it was still a bit dark and I could hardly make out anything, the sweet savory smell of lavender mixed with musk filled the air which is a weird combination was surprisingly really calming, what was even more surprising was the fact that I was able to recognize the smell, I guess all the perfume sample testing Xain bribed me into going was finally paying off in a strange way "Lavender with a little bit is Musk not bad at all" I picked up my phone contemplating sending a text to Xain "Focus you are not here for this but still it smells really nice Vee!!!!!!.............." "Darling honestly I wouldn't blame you Somethings are just a lot harder to resist" A voice said interrupting me "Who is there?" I asked opening my purse in search for my phone while still trying to make out the person but it was so dim that all I could see was a huge frame in
A petite middle aged woman with shiny black hair dressed in an elegant blue gown approached us "Good day to you Mrs Garwood" My date greeted her looking all uptight and rigid, he looked nothing like the guy that was arguing with me few minutes ago I had no idea it was that easy for someone's whole demeanor to switch "I knew I recognized your voice And how many times do I have to tell you to just call me Emily" She said but all that kept ringing in my head has they spoke was the name I heard her mention Enzo"So sorry about that I will try to make it stick this time" He said as he went in to peck her"Robert wasn't sure you were going to make itHe is going to be happy to see youHow is your brother?Can you..................""I am so sorry You are going to have to forgive me wife's manner she is just a bit too excited Enzo aren't you going to introduce us to the beautiful lady with you" A man in his late 4os who I assumed to be her husband interrupted her "Mr Garwood Goo
It took a minute for me to realize the question was meant for me, I closed my phone placed it down then looked up to meet the face behind that alluring voice and I was not at all disappointed It looks to me like this party is meant for only beautifully sculpted man because the guy standing in-front of me was so damn handsome I was tempted to check his back to be certain he doesn’t have a wing hiding there "Hmm...Sorry come again" I said trying badly not to make obvious I was captivated by his beauty as I almost drowning in his baby blue eyes "I think I will get the answer to my question in due time until then How are you enjoying the party so far?"He asked smiling charmingly at me has he placing his glass on our table getting comfortable, ignoring his previous question which in turn made me wonder what it was that he asked earlier on"It is nice I have not really gotten the chance to meet people as I just got here but this hall is definitely something different It is so

“Your wish is my command my lady”He slighted bowed extending his arms towards me “I just realized something The time we spent the other night was mostly about me I am so sorry about thatWho knew tipsy me was a bit of conversation hoarder”I said slowly walking my through in as we walked down to the center of the floor“It is not a problem at allI enjoy listening to things from a different point of view and you definitely had a lot you wanted to get of your chest I was lucky to person to listen”He said drawing me in closer, gently placing his hands behind my back“Yeah sure I totally get that…….:”I stuttered shaking of the shiver I felt when he placed his hands on my back and trying to stay focused on the task ahead “But still I feel really bad that I didnt get to also see things from your point of view So tell me bit about you?”I finally asked the gold question hoping he would take the bait and fall for it“What do you want to know?”He asked and that was when I realized w

“I got bored…………”“You got bored?”I said, completely confused.“Mrs. Young left to go sort out our tour and there I was standing all by myself. Then I saw you had managed to get rid of your chauffeur, so I decided to come get you myself”.He said with a proud smile on“You got bored…..”I said as relief washed all over my face and I suddenly felt a lot lighter.“YesI just said thatSo is everything good?”.He asked“Yes…..”I said, wondering what he was talking about.“I mean at home.”He explained further, seeing my confusion.“Oh yeahEverything is good.Xain was just checking in”.I said vaguely, adjusting my purse to avoid eye contact with him.“OkayNow that we have that sorted out on to the next thing on our agendaCome on we have a lot of cover and little time to do so” .He said with a huge smile on his face.“I hear you, but I doubt Mrs. Young is done setting up, seeing as this is a last minute arrangement that you basically tricked her into doing.”I said”You say tricked
De Luca..........De Luca..........De Luca..........De Luca..........De Lu…..“DarlingAre you fine?You look really pale?Here is a glass of water.”Still in shock, I slowly collected the glass from him, nodding as I gulped it all down in one take, trying to get my brain to function, so I could sort it all out, but I guess I had finally broken my brain because I kept on hearing only De Luca like a mix player on loop.“AnytimeYou did not disappoint at all Mrs. Young as expected, and I had a really lovely time this evening.”“It is always a pleasure to have you around, Mr. De LucaWe hope you had a wonderful time, Ms. GomezWe will have the note added to the item and drop it by your driver.Let me leave you two alone.Enjoy the rest of the evening”She said with a polite smile and walked off.“I couldn’t have done any of these without your help.Thanks a lot………..”I knew he was talking to me and I had to reply, but I couldn’t.My head was still spinning and my brain just froze.“He
Well played Darling You are a fast learner............." He said smiling back at me which sent shiver down my spine for some reason but I just shrugged it off. This was my time not his and I wasn't going to let a stupid smirk get to me"I had a not so terrible teacher" I said returning the smirking back to him"And soon the student becomes the maste........" He said and we both laughed out loud when I got another idea, looking at him with a innocent face I asked him"Wouldn't it be nice for you to slip a little note before they wrap the painting up........You know to add a personal touch to it?" "That is not a bad idea at allI just need a little piece of paper" He said them signalled to the server by our left "Sir.........." The server a blonde lanky kid said moving to our table "Can you get me small piece of paper and a pen?" my date asked "Yes sir.........""And also tell your manager to hold on on wrapping my item for the night I want to add a little note to itFrom table 2

"Item 10............The Hollow" He said with his gaze still on the pamphlet as he read it out loud"Yes, so what do yoi think?" I asked hesitatedly a bit nervous hoping he would like it "Elle Gray..........This name sounds vaguely familiarI feel like I have heard it somewhere before but I can't quite remember" he said still staring at the list"She is a very popular artist, I am sure you would have seen some of her works around. One of her work is at the Hamsmith Art Gallery it was one of their showcase for last summer I think the name was.........Blue Light.........."I stuttered off not completely sure I got the name right but also silently thanking Sophie for been a Art lover. I remember her dragging me last summer when they opened with their new art pieces and I remember her been totally obsessed with Elle Gray. I don't think I have ever seen anyone be that obsessed over another person she would definitely write her biography if given the chance. That was also the reason i wen
