EMMA POV
Finally! I am ready for the party. I must say whoever chosen this dress have a great sense in picking.
The dress is backless with sweet neckline and a long slit running down from the mid-thigh. What I love the most in the dress is its colour which is purplish-white mixed with a light shade of pink.
Just wow!
But the suspicious thing is that it fits me perfectly. How he or the designer came to know my measurements.
This question is continuously eating my brain. I mean it's just not a coincidence or maybe be it is?
So confusing!!
Ding dong!
My chain of thoughts were broken down by the ringing of the doorbell.
Look like Mr Knight's driver is here to pick me up.
I opened the door and saw a familiar figure standing in front of me with his back facing towards me.
Umm... Mr Knight??
I cleared my throat to gain the attention of the figure.
And guess what I was right.
Mr Knight was standing right in front of me with all his glory. Looking so handsome just like a model walking down from the cover page of a magazine. He was wearing a black tuxedo which was perfectly fitting on his sculpted Greek-like body, his hair was pulled backwards with the help of the gel and his hands were inside in both pockets.
What the hell! I was ogling at my arrogant boss. I averted my eyes intended not to be caught.
God! He was already caught me ogling at him so many times not now, please!!
I looked at him he was looking at me without blinking his eyes lost in his thoughts.
Maybe I was looking not good enough so he was regretting his decision to take me with him. This thought makes me so nervous.
"Sir" I called him softly
No response
"Sir" a little loud this time
No response
"Mr Knight "
Again silence!!
Ugh!!!
"Mr Kight!!!" This time I just shouted on his face.
He blinked his eyes rapidly looking here and there.
Phew..!!!
Finally, he is out of his la land.
"Did you just shouted on me Miss Miller?" he said narrowing his eyes in a slit.
Seriously!!
"Mr Knight......
"I don't have time to waste here Miss Miller. We are already getting late " he said arrogantly while cutting me off in the middle of my sentence.
He has a very bad habit of cutting off others in between.
I am telling you!!
I gave him my best fake smile. " Sure just a minute I need to get my cell and clutch form the room," I said and rushed inside the room to grab my things and saw myself last time in the mirror to ensure that I was looking ok.
When I returned I saw him looking at the wall which is full of photographs which were hanging on it and his eyes were stuck on the picture of mine with Mike.
"Let's go, Mr Knight, I think we are already getting late" With this, I gave him a tight-lipped smile. He gave me an irritated look and started to walk towards the exit.
Take that man!!
Soon we reached to his car which is a limo. Mark his driver opened the door me to settle in. Then he moved towards him to do the!same task.
What a gentleman, Mr Knight needs to learn something from him. Arrogant jerk!!
Now I getting nervous about my look. My confidence is getting down as the time pass. This is my first appearance in a high-class party. What if I slipped? How I can face media over there?
"Miss Miller no need to get nervous when I am here with you. Just stay by my side and no need to talk any man present there. They are just old perverts and dirty-minded people." He said while his words give me strength and the little part of my nervousness went away.
"Miss Miller..... Ummm...You are looking beautiful" He said nervously while scratching his neck.
Did he just get nervous or right in front of me! Wow!!!
"Thank you Mr. Knight" I replied to him shyly smiling.
This statement rise that measurement question again in my mind.
Should I ask or not?
Let's ask ..... No.......
Let's ask....... No........
Come Emma you are a brave girl.....
"Ok let's do it"
"Umm... Mr Knig-----
"We reached here," he said with this limo stops. Again my question remains unanswered.
I let out a tired sign and come out of the limo. I move towards Mr Knight and stand beside him.
Now all the nervousness is coming back to attack me. There are lots of cameras whose flashes are making me blind.
God, I am such a kitten. I want to hide somewhere right now. Please I don't want to go inside.
"Don't even think about this Miss Miller" with this he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me towards him. I stiffened in his arm.
"Don't be nervous Miss Miller just smile towards the camera" he bends down and whispered in my ear his hot breath was hitting my neck and I felt goosebumps on the exposed part this leads to the shiver in my spine.
I relaxed under his arms and give my best smile to the flashing cameras and walk inside with Mr Knight.
Within seconds we reached inside the main hall and that was so beautiful and extraordinary with the golden colour dominating in it.
I looked at the surroundings all the people were wearing expensive clothes. Men are in a tuxedo and the women are wearing expensive gowns. All their faces were with heavy makeup looking so beautiful and elegant like the model. But one thing just left me in confusion that why are most of them glaring at me. Did I do something to them?
What nonsense things you are thinking Emma? Of course, you didn't do anything wrong to them how could you don't even know them.
"Alexander how are you doing my child" an old man approached towards us
"I am good Mr. Jones," he said while shaking his hands with him. Then he looks towards me. " and how about this beautiful lady ?"
"I am his---
"She is my girlfriend Mr Jones" he cut me off tightening his hold around me and lead me to a shocking state from his words.
What the hell he just said !!!....me his girlfriend!!!...NOO...
"Mr Knight---
"It's ok sweetheart let's open it about as we are about to get married. So there is no need to get formal in front of others" he said sweetly while rubbing my arms and I was just looking at him with the wide eyes.
What's going on here? Can anyone please tell me!!...
"I will explain to you everything after this party but in front of them just behave like my girlfriend" he whispered quickly while tugging my hair behind my left ear.
"Ok baby," he said sweetly while patting my left cheek and I just nodded smiling awkwardly at him.
Now I have two questions in my mind to ask the first one is about the measurements and the second one is about this stunt which he just pulled in front of Mr Jones.
Mr Jones was eyeing me with his not so happy look and looking a little pissed off with this piece of information.
Congratulations Alex, Um... Now please excuse me I need to attend other guests also. He said leave us alone not before glaring at me.
Why he was looking at me like that? Huh! Did I do something to him? Why he was upset with me?
"Miss Miller let's go we need to meet more people," he said while dragging me with him.
Right now he was talking to his business partner about projects and I standing right beside him listening to their conversations carefully as his assistant it's my duty. But I am a little uncomfortable because a man I think who is in his early thirties was standing right in front of me eyeing me continuously.
Now enough! I excused myself and move away from there towards my first love.
FOOD...TASTY AND YUMMY FOOD........
