As they stepped inside the castle, they could hear sweet and slow music being played in the background. Shawn was still holding Cat's hand in a tight grip like she was his girlfriend or wife. This made Cat blush every time he looked at her. She couldn't believe that they were holding hands in the middle of a royal party. They continued to walk till they reached a room filled with people. They continued to walk till they sat at an empty table on the furthest corner of the room. As expected Shawn pulled the chair for her to seat. He was making her feel shy every time he did this. She was nervous and happy at the same time. She was happy that they were at a royal event and nervous cause her boss was acting like she was his girlfriend.
"I love this place it feels like am in a movie", she states as she stares at the glass topped table with metal legs. Every table in the hall room was the same. She then glanced at the chandelier on top of her. The chandelier was oil rubbed bronze in a crystal beaded drum shade. Layers of cascading crystals drip from it as it supported its bulbs. The chain covered it at the top, as it shone its beauty from time to time.
"Yes believe that this is true. We are now in a royal party", Shawn mentioned. He wanted her to start acting like royal guests. He didn't like the way she was staring around the place like a lost sheep. He knew that she wasn't used to this kind of events cause where she comes from they rarely have parties.
"Of course will do that sir... aah... I mean Shawn", she corrected herself immediately. She knew what he was meaning by acting like a royal guest. She stopped staring all over and started staring at the table. She didn't want to start staring at Shawn cause she knew it will make her feel more anxious than she was.
"That's fine don't call me sir again ", he mentioned as he was staring at her. He couldn't believe that she was acting so shy yet she claimed to be a courageous woman.
"Catina", he called her. He wanted her to stare at him and nothing else. When she lifted her head to face him. The corners of his lips rose slightly as stared at her. This is what he wanted to be near her and this event made his dreams come true. He knew that Cat wasn't just any other girl. She was a special lady and he knew it. He could see the way she was acting around him. He could sense that she has never had a boyfriend before.
"Yes Shawn", this time she didn't call him sir like she always does at times. She called him by his name despite he being her boss. But he wanted her to be calling him that way even though she didn't get the reason. She heard Steve calling him sir and that made her wonder why he didn't call him by his name. The time to start serving themselves the delicacies had arrived. Since it was a buffet they all stood and headed to serve themselves. Shawn was behind Cat, after she was done serving herself they headed to their table.
"Wow it's super yummy", Cat couldn't continue to hide that she was mesmerized by the meal. It was delicious and she loved it.
"Yes it is and I love it", Shawn mentioned as he was consuming the meal. They continued to eat the meal as they were waiting for the event to start. Minutes later, the prince arrived wearing the custom made suit that Nelly made. He was wearing a black suit with an ankara tie. His sisters were wearing ankara gowns that made them look so beautiful.
"Wow they look dope", Cat mentioned referring to them. She wished that she was wearing the ankara gowns too.
"Yes they do but we look better than them", Shawn mentioned. Cat wasn't expecting him to say that. She thought that he would agree with her that they looked nice.
"Yes Shawn we look so much better", she just had to agree that they looked better than them. Even though he was the one who had made their clothes, he didn't accept that the prince looked better than him. The prince spoke and mentioned that they were celebrating the arrival of a new princess in the kingdom. He was introducing his fiancée to the world and wanted everyone to see her before the wedding. His fiancée joined him and stood beside him. She was so beautiful and everyone in the hall room was left in awe cause of her beauty. Afterwards, the time for dancing had finally arrived.
The guests started heading to the dance floor with their partners. Cat and Shawn were still sitting as the music became louder than before. Shawn stood and headed towards where Cat was sitting.
"Can we dance", he stretched his hands towards her direction, wanting her to join him on the dance floor. Adrenaline rushed into her body real quick. She couldn't believe that her boss was asking her to dance. She didn't think that he would ask her that. She stretched her hand and held his hand in a tight grip. She then followed him to the dance floor. He headed so close to her until she could feel his breath. He was making her feel anxious yet again. He took her hands and placed them on his shoulder. He then placed his hands on her waist and held her tightly. She couldn't stare at him like she was supposed to do. As they moved from side to side she was looking down. He understood that she was shy and he just decided to ignore it for a few minutes. He could see it in her eyes that she was struggling to stare at him. This made him happy cause he knew that she was starting to crush on him. Even though he wasn't sure, he hoped that she liked him too.
