It was exactly five thirty when the seven cars entered the hotel's garage.
No sooner had they stepped out of the cars than a man in his early thirties approached, he bowed " you're welcome "
Emil acknowledged with a nod and looked at his brother, Daniel seeing his brother's meaningful look asked,
" Is everything set?, And..... " Daniel looked around "where's the manager? "
" He's..... "
" Am here boss" a smartly dressed man spoke as he approached in large strides. He looked very handsome in his neatly ironed suit. His smile so warm that it made some of the maids hearts skip beats.
Assistant Karl frowned at the man standing beside him. He was unhappy that the maids were drooling over the manager and not him.
' I was here first alright?! '
" This way please " the manager spoke and gestured with his hand, he then lead the way to the inside of the hotel.
The hotel was indeed a very fabulous and very unique. It was one of the many hotels owned by the Tang's and also the most eventful amongst all the others.
The manager called two workers and instructed them each to take the servants and Aunt Phillis and Madam Clauidia to their various rooms.
Yvonne and Lina were taken to their room, they both shared a room. Likewise, Emil and Daniel also shared a room.
Not that there weren't enough rooms for them, they just chose to stay together.
"Sir... I mean brother Daniel, if you're in need of something, just give me a call. I will go down to make sure nothing is amiss" Daniel's assistant (Karl) spoke as he gazed fixedly on the ground. He couldn't bare to look at his boss's cold gaze.
' why did I have to address him as sir?!' the assistant chided himself.
" Don't you dare call me as sir, addressing me as brother will be enough !"
Those were exactly the words his boss had told him the first time he addressed him as sir.
The assistant turned and left in a flash.
" tsk tsk, I wonder what those reporters will write about you if they could see you right now. At least, my name being ranked as the number fearsome and cold CEO will be replaced !" Emil chuckled teasingly and left to the bathroom.
Daniel "...." ' Alright, he admit that he over reacted earlier. But what should he do with this assistant of his?! '
Yvonne stared at the box that sat on the table before her and felt flattered. She had lived such extravagant life before, but that was many years ago. And even then, she was just a kid, at that time, there wasn't anything as being nervous at all. All she, little Yvonne had wanted was to quickly blow on the candle, cut the cake so she could devour all of it.
Children love to eat sweet things, so the little her could never pretend in the face of sweets.
But the Yvonne now was a lady who know what shyness and being nervous means.
She just can't pretend not to be anxious. Her stomach kept churning repeatedly. But one thing was clear, she was extremely happy !
"Hurry up and change into the dress. Time isn't on our side" Lina spoke as she unsealed the box that sat on the table before Yvonne.
" Oh my! Just like a Pandora's box !"Lina exclaimed when she saw the inside of the box.
There were another five boxes inside the box. Two of them contained shoes, two contained dresses and the last one was a jewelry box.
Yvonne blinked when she looked at the things contained in the box. She was sincerely surprise since this was also her first time seeing the things.
Indeed, she had received the box days earlier, but she didn't open it although she curious to know what was inside. It could be due to fear or nervousness.
Just as they were about to open the boxes, the door bell rang.
'...'
" Are you expecting someone? "
" Are you expecting someone? "
They simultaneously looked at each other as they spoke.
....., the door bell rang for the second time before Lina rushed and opened.
" Hi"
"Hi"
"How may I help you? "
" Help me?!, No. I help others to bring out their hidden beauty. "
" Oh! " Lina exclaimed with her mouth slightly opened
" Am a make up artist sent by CEO Tang. And she's my assistant " The beautiful lady pointed to a girl beside her.
Twenty minutes later, Yvonne and Lina took the elevator to where the party was being held. When they got there, the whole place was dark, and not even the lowest of sound could be heard.
They stood fixedly at the entrance, refusing to move any further hence they bump into something.
" I think this isn't the place" Yvonne held Lina's hand and said
" But the manager told us to go straight right?! "
"RI... ght"
Just as they decided to turn and go, the loud bursts of balloons scared them and they almost screamed.
The lights turned on and soft melodious music was being played. The words in the music were a mixture of the happy birthday song and a special dedicated words to the birthday celebrant.
The voice of the singer sounded familiar to Yvonne, she gazed sharply at a guy who stood among the people. He looked dashing with his simple design white shirt paired with a blue black pant.
Yvonne's heart skip a beat.
Emil couldn't control his beating heart as their gaze got fixed.
Yvonne wore white gown paired with high heels.Her necklace, bangles and ear rings were a set. They were simply made, just that they had tiny diamonds around them. They were grey blue in colour and matched perfectly with her dress.
Emil was hypnotised by her breathtakingly beauty. He didn't even blink, he was afraid she will disappear the moment he blinks.
They gazed at each other forgetting that, there were other people beside them in there.
They seem to be in their own world.
