Davina's Pov:-
I was angry, as I slammed my fist on my desk in anger while biting my lower lip, I pushed my hair back and lowered my head while I tried to control myself. I took deep breaths and closed my eyes, "Darcy" I called out, and walked to my chair and sat down.
"Yes, Miss. Ellis" she walked in, I gestured her to sit down, she obeyed and sat in front of me and waited patiently for me to talk.
"Mr. Spencer wants me to handle the party which he was holding in his place, we need to go to his place and take care of everything meanwhile ask Jenna to take care of everything in my absence," I said, she nodded her head and walked out of my office.
You need to calm down and work patiently Davina, I said to myself while I took a deep breath and stood up from my chair. I took my things and began walking out of my office. As I stepped out and took a turn, "Miss. Ellis," I heard Darcy's voice calling me from behind. I turned around and saw her walking toward me hurriedly.
"Mr. Spencer said that his driver will drop us at his place and we are allowed to take help of his staff," she said while stopping in front of me.
"Okay," I said while nodding my head and turning back, She followed me behind and we stepped inside the elevator and reached the ground floor. As we reached the parking lot, I saw a man in a black suit standing near a black Suv with his hands folded over his chest.
As we walked closer to him, I noticed how attractive this guy was, he had a perfect stubble beard which made his high cheekbones and jawline look good and he wore a white shirt underneath a black blazer and his brown hair was neatly combed back. Overall, he was very attractive.
"Spencer is definitely good at picking his staff," I heard Darcy mumble behind me which made me look at her, she immediately lowered her head, "Sorry," She said and stood beside me.
As I looked at the guy, he turned to us and spoke something and I realised he had an earpiece inside his left ear, "Yes Boss," he replied and opened the passenger door, "Hello Miss. Ellis, Miss. Smith, My name is Coop Long, You may call me Coop," he smiled at us.
I returned a smile, "Nice meeting you, Coop," I said and climbed in, Darcy followed in and Coop walked to the driver seat and climbed in. The drive to Spencer's mansion was quiet, no one spoke anything and I just stared at the busy roads of new york city.
After a long ride, we reached a big black double gate, they were huge, while we entered through them and when my eyes landed on the two-story mansion my jaw literally dropped. It was huge with a very big garden on it either side of the driveway and in the middle was a huge water fountain. It was so beautiful, at the top of the fountain had a big fire bowl, the fire was still on and was dancing beautifully. On either side of the pillar which was holding the bowl had beautifully sculpted women who were standing in some kind of dance pose.
The water was flowing down from the top of the pillar which was holding the fire bowl, it was so beautiful to look at and I'm sure it would look even more beautiful at night.
Besides the huge fountain had a classical architecture with huge pillars on either side of the driveway leading underneath it, Coop drove the car inside and the driveway had tall trees on either side of it and there was one more small water fountain.
Coop drove the car around and stopped in front of a few stairs leading us to the huge main door of the mansion.
"Wow!" Said darcy looking at the mansion with her mouth open,
"So beautiful," she continued, hearing her Coop chuckled and unbuckled his seat belt and stepped out of the car. He opened the car door for me and offered his hand and helped me step out of the car.
"Let me lead you inside," he said and walked ahead of us and we followed him.
He opened the door and gestured to us to come in, we stepped inside once again and the interior made my mouth hang open. I never in my entire life had seen this big living room and luxury furniture, beautiful interior, the stairs at the end of the living room were so big and shiny.
I followed Coop to the living room, he stopped and turned to us, "You may start your work Miss. Ellis, and our staff will help you, please don't hesitate to call me if you need anything," he said,
"Ava!" he called someone, and from the corner of my eye, I saw someone from my left was walking toward us. I turned my head and noticed the huge kitchen and dining table placed near the kitchen and My eyes moved to the woman walking towards us.
She walked towards us and stood in front of Coop, "Ava this is Miss. Davina Ellis and Miss. Darcy Smith..." he said, she turned to us and smiled before extending her hand to me, "Hello, My name is Ava Johnsen," she said, I took her hand and shook it with a smile on my face.
"Ava is head of the household staff here, she will help you," he said, I nodded my head at him and glanced at Ava to see her smiling at me. Leaving us with Ava, Coop walked away.
"Okay, let's begin," I said, turning to Ava, she asked everyone to meet me in the living room and when I saw the people who work here my eyes widened. There were so many, nearly 50 people work here apart from bodyguards and guards around the mansion. I took deep breaths and tried to control myself,
There many people to serve one guy! Oh my god.
I began to guide the staff on which work they had to do and Ava helped me by telling me what looks good in the living room and what Mr. Spencer likes. Darcy called a very popular party planner of New York city and when she said the party is in Mr. Spencer's mansion, they immediately agreed and came in just a few minutes.
I may be good in restaurant management but I know nothing about event planning, whenever there's any kind of event in the restaurant I ask darcy to contact event planners.
They began working and decorating the living room, I just helped them with decoration. I asked Darcy to prepare a drinks menu which will be served at the party, "Okay Ma'am," she said and called Jeena, "Jeena, I need you to..."
***
After a few hours.
"Miss. Ellis," Called darcy from my behind,
"Okay, just make sure everything is served at the time," I said to Ava and turned towards Darcy.
"Ma'am everything is done, Mr. Spencer had invited all his business partners and people who work for Neens and guests may arrive at 8 pm, it's 7 now," she said and I gasped.
"What!" I replied while looking around and noticed it was dark outside.
"Shit!" I cursed under my breath turning around,
"Miss. Ellis," Coop called out making me stop,
"Mr. Spencer want you both to get dressed in the guest rooms, your dresses and everything is set up in the room," he said,
"Ava," he called out and She walked towards us,
"Help them out," he said and walked away.
"Follow me," she turned around, led us towards the stairs, we climbed them and turned to our right and walked through the hallway. There were many rooms one after the other and we stopped near one in the middle,
"Miss Smith, this is your room," she said while opening the door.
"Thank you," Darcy said while stepping in and closing the door.
"Please," she gestured to me to follow her, I nodded my head and walked behind her. We stopped in front of a room which was beside the room Darcy took. I watched while Ava unlocked the door and gestured to me to go inside, I nodded my head and smiled at her.
I stepped inside and closed the door behind, and when I turned around, I gasped,
"Oh my god," the room was big and had a queen size bed placed in the middle and sofas on the left side, near the window. The room was Chocolate and white colour coordinated, even furniture too.
It had a big LED tv to the wall in front of the sofa and couch, and to the right side were two doors one at each corner. I walked to the left side door and pushed it in. It was a big walk-in closet and I guessed that the right side door must be a washroom.
I walked towards the bed and saw a few bags placed neatly on it, I opened them and saw a dress in one bag and jewellery and heels in the other two. I quickly walked towards the bathroom, I didn't have time to look at how big the bathroom was as I was in a rush.
I immediately slipped inside the shower and took a quick hot shower, I wrapped a fluffy pink towel around my body and rushed out. I walked inside the walk-in closet and pulled a drawer to find all kinds of undergarments. I hurriedly took the pair of white undergarments and wore them and rushed out.
I opened the bag which had the dress in it, I pulled it out, it was a white off-shoulder Beaded Slit White Prom Dress and it had a low v-neck. It was so beautiful. I quickly wore it and zipped it, As I took another bag I heard a knock on the door. I walked towards the door and opened it,
"Miss. Ellis, Ava asked me to help you get ready," A woman with black hair and blue eyes stood in front of me with a smile on her face.
"Okay, come in," I said and moved aside, she walked in and closed the door behind me.
"Please sit down," she said, taking me to the walk-in closet. She placed a chair in front of the big mirror and I sat down. I watched her quietly while she did my hair and makeup. She pulled the jewellery box out and opened it. I gasped when I saw the necklace, it was so beautiful and looked very expensive.
She put it on me and took the earrings out of the box, they were simple pearl earrings which looked beautiful on me. I stood up and looked at my reflection and smiled. I looked beautiful, It had been so long that I got dressed this way. The eye shadow she applied made my eye pop out and red lipstick made me look complete.
"You are looking beautiful, Miss Ellis," She said pushing a strand of my hair behind my ear,
"Thanks to you," I smiled, while she helped me put on my silver heels, I heard a knock on the door,
"Come in," I said and Darcy walked in dressed in a light blue dress that looked beautiful on her.
"Miss. Ellis, You look so beautiful in this dress," she said smiling at me,
"You look beautiful too, that dress suited you, Darcy," I smiled back,
"Thank you, Guests are arriving one by one, We need to go now, Miss. Ellis"
"Okay," I said and turned towards the woman behind me, "Thank you so much for helping me," I said while hugging her, she hugged me back and smiled in return.
I turned around and walked out of the room, Darcy followed me behind, I reached the stairs and walked down. I noticed the living room was filled with people and many are walking inside, I didn't know Arthur had invited this many people. I have to take care of the drinks and other things because we thought it was just a casual party but I doubt it now.
I ignored all the looks I was getting while I climbed down the stairs and walked straight towards Jeena, who was talking to the bartender standing behind the bar and helping him with the drinks.
"Jeena," I called while walking to her, she turned around and I noticed her eyes moving down to my dress and back to my face.
"Miss. Ellis, You look so beautiful," She grinned,
"Thank you," I simply said and looked at the drinks placed in the bar.
"Jeena, We need more. Guests are many, call Mac and ask him to come, take his help and call me if you have any problems," I said and turned around.
"Darcy," I called while I walked towards the main door, "I need you to take care of guests with the help of Ava, don't make any mistakes," I said,
"Okay, Ma'am," She replied and walked towards Ava.
"Coop," I called while walking to him, who was walking inside, hearing me he turned and walked to me.
"Yes, Miss. Ellis," he replied, stopping in front of me.
"Where is Mr. Spencer," I asked, he looked around, "There," he said pointing his finger to my right, I turned and my eyes locked with his blue/ green eyes. I can't ignore the fact that he looked extremely hot in that outfit.
He was wearing a white shirt underneath and a black coat with a red tie, his black hair was neatly combed back and he was surrounded by men in black suits and looked his age. I shook my head and walked towards him,
"Mr. Spencer," he excused himself and stepped towards me, his eyes moving on my face and I shivered to be under his intimidating stare. I tried not to make eye contact with him and tried to control myself,
"Eve...Everything is done, an...and I think...guests have ar....arrived, you should start the party," I said and quickly turned around and rushed from there while breathing hard. I could feel his eyes boring on my back but I controlled myself and tried hard not to look back.
After a few minutes, Mr. Spencer started the party by giving a speech and telling everyone how happy he was when he bought the company. He ended his speech by promising that he will make the restaurants more popular and successful.
The songs began playing and everyone started dancing happily and I was sitting at the bar, listening to Jeena and Darcy's talk.
"Miss. Ellis," came Coop's voice from my behind, I turned and saw him walk to me.
"There's someone waiting for you in the room you dressed up earlier," he said and before I could ask who, he walked away. I stood up and began walking to the room.
Who can it be? Maybe the woman who helped me dress up? I thought and climbed the stairs, I slowly walked through the hallway and reached the room. I knocked on it but no one answered,
Why isn't anyone answering? I thought and slowly pushed the door. I stopped inside and the room was empty,
"Hello," I spoke while walking in and abruptly the lights turned off making me jump in fear.
