I ate almost half of the chocolates and which tasted great, I checked the time and it was some minutes to 5.
Our gala night will be starting by 7:00 P.M, so I have close to two hours to Dress.
I jumped down from the bed and got into the bathroom.
I got under the shower and bath scrubbing my skin gently, Have washed my hair already in the morning, so no need for it.
I got out of the shower and walked over to my luggage. I brought out the delivery box where my clothes and shoes were.
I did my make-up first, it was a light one though. It was neutral and I loved it that way.
I opened the box and brought out the dress. It was a long blue gown which had some shines on It. It will surely expose my back fully.
I wore it and looked at my appearance in a standing mirror in the room.
I was so speechless.
It's damn beautiful! I thought within me.
The dress fitted in the right places on my body.
I brought out the glass heels and put them on.
I packed my hair neatly into a ponytail and swayed in front of the mirror.
Feeling satisfied with my looks, I took
Purse and added more lipstick on my lips popping it gently the way I usually do.
I heard a knock on the door, I breathed lightly and went over to the door and opened it.
"Are you....." Drake was about to ask a question till his eyes landed on me.
"What?" I said smirking.
His face was so emotional, I could see a lot in his eyes.
"You look so stunning Amanda." He said his eyes still on me.
"And beautiful as always." He said wondering off.
I love the way he shows how much I have affected him.
"You look great too," I said as I adjusted his bow.
He was wearing a black tuxedo that fitted him, making him look hot.
Then I decided to show him my back to
See his expression.
"Amanda." He called out his voice husky.
And I turned around to face him a little smirk forming on my lips.
"Yes," I answered innocently.
He came closer to me and pulled me to his body as he crashed his lips on mine.
He almost suffocated me as his hands roam through my bareback.
I wrapped my hands around his neck, as his tongue found its way to mine.
My legs were getting weak but he held me tightly as I moaned a little into his mouth.
I broke the kiss after some minutes.
"My lipstick," I said laughing as I rubbed my thumbs on his lips.
He stared into my face while I smiled back at him.
"You are mine only, Amanda." He said possessively.
I smiled and peck him while I went over to where I kept my makeups and brought out the lipstick and rubbed them gently on my lips.
"Amanda put your hair down," Drake whispered in my ears as he wrapped his hands around my waist.
"No," I said firmly with a smirk.
"You gonna make me eat you right here." He said seductively as he traced his hands to my butt.
I gasped and turned around him immediately.
"We have a gala night in thirty minutes," I said as I moved back.
"We still have more time." He said with a smirk and moved closer to me.
"No, we don't," I said immediately and got out of the room.
I walked quickly down the stairs and bumped into Angela who seems she just got out of her room.
"Well well look who is here." She said with a smirk, her eyes eye on my dress.
"You look good," She said walking away.
She wore a purplish long gown which was split from her right thigh down.
She looked elegant as she let her hair down.
"Shall we," Drake said as he whispered into my ears and took my hands in his.
Angela saw us both and came over to us.
"You look great Drake," She said smiling brightly at him.
"You too also," Drake said and led the way out.
We followed suit behind him as we went over to where the black limousine s.
It was a bit different from the one we brought in here.
It was the latest black Limousine Benz which was glittering.
We all got in, and it was amazing inside.
The driver started the car immediately and started driving.
The ride was silent all through, I prayed there's no paparazzi.
I always hated one.
"In case there's paparazzi, No one should answer any questions asked except it's about our company." He said authoritatively.
How does he know what's in my mind, I thought within me.
I glanced towards him and he gave me that dirty look with a smirk on his lips.
I glanced away and stare out through the windows.
An hour later.
The driver halted the car and I breathed heavily as I saw flashes of light everywhere.
"Let's go," Drake said as he opened the door.
He stepped out, so did Angela.
"C'mon not like anyone gonna bites," Angela said as she waited for me to come out.
I nodded and came out of the car and was almost blinded by the flashes of the light camera.
The place was really beautiful as it was sparkling.
"Sir, Is there any relationship going on with you and the castles?" A reporter asked Drake.
He didn't say anything while Angela wanted to talk but he glared at her making her shut her mouth.
"Are you dating your Assistant?" Another one asked.
These reporters can get on someone's nerve, I thought within me.
"Please we would like our personal lives to be private," Drake said frustratedly and we managed to get ourselves into the building.
People stared at us especially men, who gazed at me while Drake glared at them pulling me closer to him.
"Always possessive," Angela said rolling her eyes.
"Yeah, I don't Joke with my properties," Drake said with a smirk.
Angela rolled her eyes and went ahead of us.
Drake still holding me we went along until we entered the main hall where
The gala-night will be held.
We got in and I was almost chocked with the beauty which they used in decorating the hall.
The hall looked like fairy tales in my eyes.
I followed Drake to greet some executives that also own a lot of big companies that are well known and popular, most of them were still young, I think they will be in their mid-thirties.
All eyes were on me and I lowered my head timidly until one finally decided to talk.
"Who's this great beauty here?" He asked his eyes fixed on me.
"More than a personal assistant," Drake said with a smirk drawing me by the waist closer to him making me gasp.
He's such a dickhead, I thought within me.
"So don't try mingling with her," Drake said possessively as he glared at the former who talked earlier while I rolled my eyes.
"Calm down, not like I have anything to do with her." He said chuckling and the rest laughed along.
Drake nodded and we moved away from them.
We sat around one of the tables while
I played with my fingers.
"What's up?" Drake asked whispering in my ears.
"Nothing," I said smiling.
"Or you are thinking about tonight?" He asked whispering in my ears and I gasped.
"What do you mean by tonight?" I asked raising a brow at him.
"You will get tonight," He said with a smirk.
I looked at him suspiciously, while he smirked evilly.
"Son dear," A lady squealed from behind.
"Mum," Drake said as he stood immediately he stood up and hugged her.
"Have missed you, darling," His mum said.
"Me too mum," Drake said as he smiled at her.
"OMG is this, not your Assistant?" She said smiling and came over to me.
"Nice to meet you again ma," I said as I stood up to hug her but she hugged me tighter.
"Have missed you too Amanda, especially this pretty face of yours." She said patting my back like a little girl.
"Thank you ma," I said as she left me.
"Where's Dad?" Drake asked.
"He is with his friends over there." She said.
"Hope Castle is not there?" He asked as he turned around in search of his dad.
"No dear, he couldn't make it here." She said as she sat on one of the seats around our table and I did the same too.
"I'll be right back." He said as he walked away.
"How have you been darling?" Drake's mum asked me.
"Am good," I said smiling.
"Hope Drake is not giving you problems, he could be stubborn at times." She chuckled and I laughed.
"Not really," I said amusingly.
"You like him, don't you?" She asked
My heart raced and I bit my lips as I played with my fingernails.
"I do, " I confessed.
"Am happy you do darling." She said as she took my hands in hers.
I stared a bit at her surprised.
"Am happy he met someone like you," she said gazing at me and I smiled.
"He changed a lot and that's because of you, I finally get to hug him all this while after 17 years, he always feels too big and arrogant to hug his parent." She said sniffing.
"It's okay now," I said reassuring her and she smiled.
Drake is such a scummbag, I thought within me as I smiled.
