Chapter 10 - Preparing for the party

Talia panicked and rushed downwards with her handbag. Arriving at the first floor, she got a strong smell of smoke. She went out of the elevator and followed the scent. Then when she arrived at the source of it, she stared in disbelief.

"What is going on here? Are you guys insane? You guys clearly know that it's forbidden to smoke in the hospital. But you still decided to go against me because I am too kind with you, right?" she asked but none of them dared to respond.

"Firstly, smoking here may increase one of the patient's sickness. Secondly, the fire alarm may give heart attack to patients and cause useless commotion and panicking. In addition, you are are bad influence to the patients giving them a wrong example. Moreover smoking will destroy your lungs but you guys can continue smoking out of the hospital, because I don't care if you live or die." she said again imposing her superiority on them.

"So, just do it far away from here and out of my sight! You guys can go back to your respective homes and don't come back again!" she concluded dominantly. They stared at her in disbelief because, they had being fired just like that. They were too afraid to go against her orders and went away in a rush. She sighed and decided to go back home too.

At Hamilton house,

Lieing on her bed, Amber stared at the ceiling for some time as she was lost in a daze. 'He said he will come. Should I trust him? But he has never broken his promises since that day. What should I do if he doesn't make it tomorrow at the party?' she thought again and again.

Since last 2 weeks, their relationship had greatly improved. They would meet 4 times a week and date again. Amber already felt a liking towards him. She blushed every time when she remembered how their first kiss was. It was on a Saturday afternoon.

A week ago,

They sat in a park cuddling while enjoying the breeze and the songs of birds. Jason stared at her with intense lust. Then he caressed her lower lip with his thumb, before pecking her. He pecked her several times but couldn't get enough even after prolonging the duration of each peck.

Then he started poking her lips with his tongue till she parted it, welcoming his tongue inside. He first teased her with his tongue before he started playing with it. They intertwined and released. He sucked her lips and licked it. They were too sweet. He could not get enough of it.

After several minutes, he finally let go of her lips. She was damn seducing with those sore peach lips exuding heavy breathings and her red face from the experience. After the intense kissing session, they cuddled again for few minutes before heading back.

Present time,

Amber smiled when she recalled about the event. It was so amazing. She decided to prepare what she was going to use on the next day for the party. She chose a royal blue mermaid off shoulder dress with a pair of black stilettos. She then dozed off excitedly.

The next day, she woke up happily and decided to do her usual morning yoga. Then she got prepared and went for breakfast. After breakfast, she went to Amy's house with her outfit so that she could prepare herself with her friend.

Amy and Amber had a great time together. Amy called her personal makeup artist for the occasion. She wanted them to be the center of attention. Her makeup artist, Madison, started with their nails. She did a great canvas and choice of colors.

Then she proceeded with their hair. She made a messy sock bun to Amy and a beach weavy hair to Amber. Finally she went on their faces. Carefully applying them light makeup as they were natural beauties. Then they went to wear their dresses directly as it was already 5:30 pm.

Then they texted their respective partners, informing them that they were ready. What amused Amber was that Jason and Oliver knew each other since childhood. They were best friends. It was just that Jason was too busy to meet the wife of his friend.

They met at the amusement park when they were on different dates and later on decided to do a joined date. Amber and Amy decided to organise a joined date 2 times a month. They were soo grateful to have them as their partners. Amber still did not know if she loved Jason or not but she was sure of one thing, she couldn't live without him.

At Groove's mansion

Talia sighed as she already regretted accepting Asher's proposal. She was still tired and still had work to do. She refused to be like Amber and go out to party leaving behind piles of unfinished work. Amber was so incompetent.

But again, a promise is a debt. She did not regret that much on giving her promise to Asher that she will be his date tonight. She intended to use it to gain his trust. As the saying goes, 'Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking.' She grinned and decided to get herself prepared.

At the Joe's mansion,

Stella was standing at the entrance to welcome the guests. She was so excited of the humiliation she would give to Amber, Amy and Talia. The three girls always stole her limelight and boyfriends, because all of them was always in love with at least one of them.

Some years ago

Talia used to bully her since they started kindergarden till they ended high school. At first, she blessed her mother for sending her in an Art University. When she finally thought that she had escaped the three girls, she saw Amber and Talia attending her last competition before graduation.

She did not understand why they would come until she saw Amy catwalking directly after her. And the worst was that she was so professional and outstanding. The winner of the competition would be signed by a reputable company and would be awarded many resources at their debut. She did not understand how Amy managed to participate when she did not even study in their domain but instead decided to study at a science school.

She was angry and jealous. Amy was pretty, well-mannered and amazing, if she managed to make it, then her career would be over without even starting. But again as she predicted, Amy won and had all the resources and signed the one of the best entertainment company in the country. She got signed too but didn't get to have as many resources as Amy had. She was lucky enough to have her father as one of the shareholders of the company that signed Amy. But she hated the fact that she was always treated as Amy's substitute.

Present time

At her spot, she could see a black limousine parking at the entrance. And she immediately knew who it was because there was only four people left to come which were Amy, Amber, Talia and Asher. She thought of Jason and Oliver but she knew better. They would never attend this kind of parties as usual.

She stared in anticipation while preparing the reporters in case it was one of the witches' car. But unexpectedly she got disappointed by the result. It was the famous handsome CEOs, Jason Willow and Oliver Brown. But what surprised her more was that their partners were 2 of the witches.

How could Amber and Amy hook up with the hotties she had always dreamed of but could never have? Then she suddenly recalled of the message she received this afternoon, the message only said that Amber had a relationship with Jason but it never said anything about Amy being married to Oliver.

Just now, Stella did not realize the gravity of her mistake. The reporters she called on inorder to humiliate them were instead praising them. And in the split of a second, she froze. If she remembered correctly, Oliver was the CEO of Mermaid Entertainment Company. And it was the company in which Amy and her signed.

She shook her head in denial. After all the sufferings she had gone through, she had to suffer again. She just realized how much of a fool she made herself. Her hand balled in a fist, she inhaled sharply and went in.

After passing through a set of questions, the pair of couples finally joined the others at the party. Inside, Amber and Amy went to hug Jace and gave a kiss on Milli's cheek. Milli smiled as the girls had always being good to her since she started working for Jace. She had never seen him smiling nor frowning.

He was neither cold nor hot. He was the neutral and impassive one. But the only time she sees he smile is when he is with his family and close friends. Jace looked at her dazed look and sighed. She looked so innocent and cute, but he did not want to let his guards down and trust her.

"Amy, has Tally arrived already?" Jace asked as he was yet to see her. "No Bunny, I didn't see her but I will give her a call to know her position." She was in a rush and couldn't say more because her husband was calling for her so as to introduce her to some important people.

A yellow Mercedes arrived at the entrance of the Joe's mansion, which also held many other flashy cars. Inside the car was Talia and Asher. He asked if she was ready and she breathed in some fresh air before nodding and going out of the car.
