She slept comfortably on her bed, that morning she woke up late. She was supposed to resume by 8:00 am but she woke up 10 minutes after. She was so worried . This was going to be her first day in the film industry. She slept late yesterday and she was too tired. She hurriedly went to the bathroom to take her bath. She was in such a hurry that she almost forgot to brush her teeth. What was really wrong with her ? She thought to herself. She wore her clothes, greeted the maid and turned to leave. She stopped suddenly, she turned to the maid and asked " Where is the boss?".
"He left as early as 6:30am." Beatrice replied.
"Damn" She was supposed to leave by 6:00 that morning..
"What kind of a worker am I ? " this thought ran through her mind.
She knew some of her coworkers would want to make her day awful by nagging her. Few minutes later, she arrived at the industry. The traffic really troubled her. She got to there by 9:10am . She still looked very alluring even with messy hair. Lucian and some business clients were passing there at that time. When she saw Lucian she didn't know what to do. It was really embarrassing to her. She saw as Lucian looked his watch. " I'm in big trouble" she said to herself. Every company have their rules and regulations. And breaking them will warrant a penalty. Like in Starlight Film Industry, late coming would warrant a reduction in salary. She really needed the money. She has already budgeted herself. She walked to a small hall where she would act.
" What took you so long?" Alexa's voice was heard.
" I'm sorry, it won't happen again" Allison said meekly.
" Hmph" Alexa sighed and walked away.
Everything thing went so smoothly. The workers were also having a party that night. It was the company's idea. But she had a party to attend at home so she rejected the offer made by her female coworker.
Allison got back home, she was so stressed out. She better use this time to rest. She had seen Lucian later at home but he didn't ask her why she came late. It was his assistant that asked and later advice her to be punctual always. She knew that it was Lucian that had sent his assistant. But he knew she slept late. She packed her things into her bag. She wanted to prepare for the party.
When she got to her room, she took the black dress . It was 6pm at as that time. The party had already begun.
She heard a knock on the door. Beatrice came inside the room. She helped Allison dress up
.
" You have a Chinese name?" Beatrice asked.
" Yeah, Feng Yueying" Flora said.
" Okay ying ying "
Allison laughed. Beatrice calling her Chinese name in that funny accent was hilarious.
" Wow, ying ying you look so beautiful" Beatrice said with eyes opened. Allisonwas just so pretty especially with that red hair that looked like she was an outcast. Beatrice was happy that Allison was like a younger sister to her . She wanted her to stay longer in the house. At times she feels lonely and Allison had been her companion since she came into the house. She was 26 years this year but some times it feels like part of her memory isn't there. Though she was from a rich home she worked as a maid in Lucian's house . Her father had disowned her after she got pregnant at the age of 18 but unfortunately she lost the baby. She had told the doctor to show her the child's body but the doctor couldn't provide it .
" Beatrice, what happened? " Allison reached out to her .
" Nothing, ying ying " Beatrice said. She didn't want to disturb Allison with her problems.
" Let's hurry up" Beatrice pointed out.
Allison had a bad feeling that all was not okay with her new friend. She would find out later. Right now she has to concentrate on the party . The black dress hung beautifully on her body, her hair was curled and she let it down. She wore her shoes. It was a bit tight, so she changed the shoe to one of Beatrice shoe. It was a red color just like the handbag and it complimented her red hair.
" Should I wear a necklace?" Allison asked Beatrice.
"Yeah" Beatruce gave her a nod. Yueying walked towards her wardrobe, took out a necklace from a box.
At the sight of the necklace, Beatrice mouth dropped.
" Who gave this to you?" Beautrice asked with eyes wide open.
"My mom " that was all Yueying said.
" It was designed by a woman named Moon. After that, I heard she was shot during on my event ." Beatrice said
Aalison thought of her mother she had never seen before. She didn't know why she kept feeling restless after what Beatrice told her. Beatrice have seen so many jeweleries. She could tell a fake from an original. She quickly got dressed. She was wearing a light blue gown. It was extremely beautiful. She let down her hair just like Yueying but her's wasn't curly. She was blesseed with beautiful amber eyes. Allison had hazel eyes and it was very mesmerizing,
the two of them looked like goddesses.
Beatrice grabbed a white bag to match her gown. The duo walked out of the the room to the hall were the party had started 30 minutes ago .
Dan noticed Lucian has been checking his wristwatch for the past 30 minutes.
When Lucian turned to staircase to check on Allison, he's eyes fell on the most beautiful woman he has ever sighted. She walks with grace and an air of confidence. Beatrice was not bad either. Most of the men eyes were in them.
They were whispers everywhere in the hall
" Who is she? " a girl said
" That is the disowned daughter of the Woods family" someone replied Mei Chu .
" Not her, I mean the one on a black dress " Mei Chu said with an air of arrogance.
" I heard she works for Master Lucian . They are a bit close according to the rumors spreading everywhere " the same person replied again.
" Close ? " She wispered to herself
Mei Chu saw as Alllison walked to Lucian.
They were many noble guest. Allison saw different stars she always admired
Different men tired to approach her but because she was always at Lucian side they dare not. Her feet felt so heavy, she was so tired but she managed to pull through but Lucian sensed it.
" Go take a rest" he told Allison.
"Ally" he called out. Allison's heart was beating so fast. It sounded so alluring. She didn't know why her heart kept pounding. She tried to stabilize herself but her facial expression would not let her. She was blushing already
" OMG! What is wrong with me. Allison control yourself. He just called your name but... he's eyes. Why is he looking at me that way ?" Allison said
Or was she ..... drunk
She was a bit tipsy . Lucian walked her to her room. He used a towel soaked in cold water to clean her face
" Clean my legs and hands also " a drunk Allison said. He gave her a cold look.
" Shut up, " he said.
He did begin cleaning her hands . On reaching her legs he stopped. He was going call Beatrice but the network was failing.
" Damn " he cursed.
He took the towel to clean her legs when their eyes met. There was something like an anticipation in those hazel eyes.
He cleaned her gently. Her thighs were smooth. He couldn't help touching her thighs .
No this wasn't right. He was going to lose it if he continues. He has always been calm to stuff like this. What the hell was happening to him . He let go of her leg.
" Continue" Allison said in her half conscious state. Then he did something he did'nt expect, he bent down. He pushed her messy hair aside and he began kissing her lips. There was a knock on the door. Gu Ni walked in. She gave Allison hot soup to make her a bit sober as she had notice seeing her tipsy in the party.
**************
The next day , Beatrice explained what happened that night. She had actually seen Lucian kissing Yueying. She couldn't believe her eyes but she acted like she did'nt see anything.
" Ahh shut up Bea" Allison said ask she covered herself with the blanket. She too couldn't believe it. But she remembered a bit of what happened.
