Augusta's Pov:
I went down to the entrance , while the bulter was leading me in the front . I can see from the main door , that a Handsome man who's smiling at me in the black suit waiting for me in front of a Black ferrari.
I thought he would be pissed off by my behavior earlier. Doesn't he have pride ? or else is he trying to look like a lovely couple with me ? No , he has a mistress , why would he do that? it's useless for me to think anyway.
I stood in front of him , he seems to be spacing out. I waved my hand in from of him.
"Are you there?" I tilted my head and looked at him. He snapped back to the reality and opened the car door for me and sat beside me .
As soon he sat beside me I can smell his cologne ; Is he wearing it , because I said the smell was nice ? For real . What is he trying to do ? I don't want to see his face , so I turned my face to outside . But I can feel his stare on me.
"What are you looking at ?" I said without seeing his face . He smirked slightly , which can be only heard if you're close to one who's talking .
"It's just you are so beautiful , I can't take off my eyes from you " he whispered in my ears in his husky voice . It was so sudden.
"What? " I jumped away from him , as I reacted in the moment . I placed my hands on my ear and looked at him. Why the hell he is looking at me mischievously ? Has he finally gone crazy?
"Why are blabbering about something that you doesn't mean ?" I said to him by narrowing my eyes . I don't want a compliment from him . I'm not his mistress to enjoy this. Wait , why I'm thinking of her?
"What do you mean by that , Augusta ?" he said in a sweet voice , which made my body hairs to stand up .
"You...Did you eat something wrong today ?" I asked him while raising my brow in suspicion.
He suddenly put his hand on my bare back and pulled me closer and leaned near my shoulders . He smells nice . His smell makes me feel safe . He suddenly started to whisper .
" What are talking about? didn't you wear this dress just to seduce me ?", he sliden my back with his finger tips and placed his hand near my bottom. I immediately put my hair back , so It can cover my bare back because of his words.
"You pervert , Don't touch me with your dirty hands." I said and took his hand from my back . He furrowed his brows and grabbed my face with his left hand ; then again pulled me closer to him with his right hand in my waist.
"Don't act so pure , when you have done everything with your ex- boyfriend ", he looked straight through my eyes to see my reaction ; even though he gripped me lightly , I can't break from his hand with my strength alone.
What is he mean by my ex-boyfriend ? does he check my personal matters . How can he treat me like this ? does he think I'm a characterless girl in his mind? I have never crossed my limits ; How dare he judge me like this ?
" You jerk , How dare you to pry into my personal matters ? Why are you so disrespectful towards me? " I yelled at him , but I can feel my tears are filling up in my eyes. I won't cry in front of him . I lowered my head and bit my lip . He loosened his grip from me and it was silent for a moment.
"I'm sorry , I just lost my mind." he said in a gentle voice and stroked my hair . I never thought he would react like this . I can feel my heart skipped a beat . By hearing his calming voice , my filled up tears fell down on my cheeks.
His took his hand from my face and wiped my tears gently ; He kissed my cheek and looked into my eyes.
"I'm sorry , I never meant to hurt you like this", he said as his eyes was so sad ; it means he really apologized to me. But ,why ? he's behaviour is completely opposite .I can hear my heart beat.
(ba thumph , thumph*)
I actually didn't feel disgusted by his kiss on my cheek . What the hell , is he doing any trick on me? I released from his hands and sat straight ; returned back to my normal position . He also went back to his normal poker face . The silence was so awkward . Then he started to talk .
" You , don't call me like you always do . Try to call me something different than 'you' like 'honey' , 'sweetheart' ." Even though he's saying in a serious face , I know he's controlling his laughter .
"Then , shall I call you 'daddy'? because you're an old man? I asked him to tease his age , but he was flustered for a moment and changed to his mischievous look .
"I prefer this way, if you use this word in our bedroom , though", he chuckled and I realised the meaning of the word just now ; I want to bury myself . He will think I said that to seduce him , how shameless .
"Don't laugh , you old man. " I yelled at him and turned my face to the outside. He stopped laughing as soon as he heard the word 'old man' .
"Who's old man ? I'm still in my twenties ", he is glaring at me like a child . How funny , this old man doesn't know how to act according to his age.
"You call me by my name ." he said stubbornly .
"I will respect my elders , how about 'Mister' ?" I giggled.
"Why ? you can just call me by my name", he again said the same thing with his dull voice .
"I think you prefer calling old man than Mister", I teased him by controlling my laughter.
" Mister is better ", he said in a loud voice and turned his face ; I think he's embrassed. Then , I think my mood got better ; even though I hate to admit it , I know it's because of him. He is not bad as I thought .
The car stopped at the entrance of seven star hotel , the reporters are rushing in front of the car and the bodyguards stepped in front of our car by clearing the reporters .
Arthur got off the car first and opened the door for me ; he extended his hand in front of me . I placed my hand in his hand and got off from the car. It was red carpet . Nothing less from my expectations.
Then he placed his hand on my waist and I lifted my head , but it was full of flashlight . We went inside the hotel , there wasn't a single people from media . I think this hotel doesn't allow the reporters .
The Hotel was majestic , the paintings and the chandelier itself is worth a million . It was shining all the way . We went to the 80th floor in the elevator . Suddenly this old man leaned towards me.
"Stick close to me and I will call you auggie here", he whispered and I glared at him. Only my family and close friends called me like using my nickname.
"Mister , I don't like the way you call me ", I narrowed my eyes and looking at him.
"I thought so too , you prefer wifey more than auggie. I shall call you then , Wifey!" he smiled in a mischievous look .I got tricked . Damn it.
(Ding*)
We entered the 80th floor , the floor is covered with black velvet carpet and the entire floor is decorated with flowers , lights and gemstones. All the people came here are corporate tycoons in their own line of work.
As soon we entered the hall , all the glances of the people fell over us . They sightly bowed to us .
Then , A old man in his sixties came towards us ; His walking is graceful for his age ; he has an aura around him even though he's physically weak. He slightly bowed his head in front of us.
"Welcome ,Mr and Mrs Howard . It's an honor to have you here." his words doesn't even contain a slight hint of mockery . He welcomed us , Then suddenly a girl in her twenties , wearing a light pink dress came towards us , maybe towards Arthur .
"Mr . Arthur , it's nice to have you here" , she said in a sweet voice and cute face ; she's completely ignored me .
Suddenly the old man cleared his throat ,"Lisa , don't be disrespectful towards our guests . Please be mindful of your behaviour towards a married man " he showed a scornful eyes towards his grand daughter.
"Yes , grandpa ." she bowed her towards me and went inside . I didn't have any intention to start a fight with her because I'm pleased with her grandfather behaviour.
"I'm sorry , Mrs . Howard . I'll make sure , it will doesn't happen again ." he bowed towards me politely.
"It's okay , Mr. Richard . I don't mind " , I smiled at him and he calmed down .
We moved to a private room , because Arthur hates crowded places. Then , I got bored soon and went outside the private room to the party hall .
I bumped into a drunken man on my way , he reeks of wine .
"Oh , I'm sorry ." he said and looked me closely .
"Isn't this my sister-in-law ?" he smirked.
