"Okay, okay, careful!", Emily exclaimed as it seemed like her dress was about to choke her. It was the same crystal encrusted dress which Lola had designed.
Emily knew and the rest of her team knew that even if the dress be so tight, Emily would still insist on wearing it.
Moments later, Emily's glam team had already been able to fit her into the dress which looked nothing but extravagant, their itchy hands eager to do her hair and makeup when Tessa came in.
"You haven't even started the make up!", Tessa shrieked entering the room, her complexion pale like she had just seen a ghost. " Why, what happened, you simply cannot rush beauty!", one of the team members said rolling his eyes.
"Ohh, we can't rush beauty right, you better rush it as we have less than fifty minutes to get to the event…!", Pausing to get the right effect she wanted, Tessa faced Emily, her hands crossed under her breast.
" Or don't you want a grand entrance?", Tessa asked, a loud gasp escaping Emily's lips, urging the glam team to get on with their job for the night, Tessa headed out of the hotel room to make arrangements for Emily's grand entrance.
In one of the master bedrooms in the Santos Mansion, Liam Santos was all dressed in his favorite designer suit, a big smile on his face as he was ready for the night.
The smile on his face was like every other smile on his face when he thought he had hatched the perfect plan to terminate Lucas Walton.
Earlier that day, he and his best guard who usually carried out all forms of dirty things for him hatched a plan, a plan they never thought they would stoop so low to use. Poison in his drink!.
Their plan was to monitor his drinking quantity and preference for the night, and when the guard thinks it is the right time to give him the poisoned drink, he would camouflage as every other waiter and serve him the drink.
Oblivious to plans to assassinate him and plans to impress him, Lucas was busy grinning as a result of the conversation he was having over the phone with Audrey.
Somehow, during their conversation, the kiss by the pool at the resort sparked and the couple had to talk about it.
"You kissed me first!", Audrey whispered into the phone as she didn't want Prisca to tease her that she was having that sort of conversation with Lucas.
"No, you kissed me first!", Lucas said, a huge grin plastered on his face. The love sick man honestly had no idea who kissed first but he was willing to continue the argument to lengthen his call with Audrey.
"But you grabbed me and caught me by surprise!!", Audrey said, thinking back to their time at the resort. " But you were far too tempting for me to resist!", Lucas said falling into the trap Audrey laid.
"Got you!!, you just admitted you kissed first!", Audrey whisper squealed because she had won the argument. " Fine, I kissed first!", Lucas agreed.
"Have you chosen a suit yet?", Audrey asked as Lucas had told her earlier that he was back home, done with all the errands he needed to attend to.
" Well, no, how easy it would be if you were here with me!", "no it won't, you still get to spend the night at my place, so don't complain that you miss me!", Audrey said, reading between the lines of Lucas's reply.
" Fine, I have picked a suit, and I'll be leaving together with Craig, he's my plus one for the night. Hey!, that reminds me, did you get the suitcase I asked Amber to drop?", Lucas asked, suddenly remembering to ask when Audrey reminded that he would be sleeping at her place.
"Yeah, yeah, I did get the suitcase, you want me to unpack when I get home?", " Do whatever you like to my suitcase babe!", Lucas said, leaving Audrey in a dilemma.
Just then, Criag approached Lucas in his living room, about to remind him that they had a soiree to get to. "Alright babe, Craig is here, I have to go now!", Lucas said, waiting for Audrey's reply before he cut the call.
" Okay babe, have fun!!", Audrey replied before she cut the call. Meeting the curious gaze of Prisca when she turned, Audrey had no choice but to spill the tea.
Lucas and Craig got ready for the event, getting ready in deep blue and olive green suits respectively, President and assistant headed to the soiree organized by Madam Petras.
Arriving in style, Lucas threw the keys to the valet, heading inside the building with Craig following one step behind him.

"We talked about this Tessa, I would do anything I want!!", Emily said in the car as they headed to the venue.
" Fine, fine, just don't drag yourself!", Tessa said, talking out of experience. She knew the extents to which a female can go to if she really loved someone.
Emily ignored Tessa's words, focusing her attention to the beautiful night ahead of her. As a model, she really had no ties to Madam Petras, no connections whatsoever.
However, she didn't know that a sizeable donation made to a charity organization owned by Madam Petras could get the woman to like her.
The donation for a good name which Madam Petras had considered a good deed had prompted her invitation.
She was pulled from her trance when the lights from a camera outside the window flashed, her eyes shutting and opening to adjust to the sudden change.
Taking a deep breath to school her facial expression, Emily's practiced smile appeared on her face when the valet opened the door for her.
Fully aware that the media's keen eyes followed her every action since the door was opened, Emily mouthed a thank you to the valet who stretched out his hand to help her out of the car.
Taking a few steps towards the red carpet, Emily oozed of nothing but charisma as the photographers rained multiple orders on how to get what they considered as the perfect pose.
"Emily, who designed your dress?", " Emily where are the diamonds from!?", "Who's your hair stylist for the night Emily?", " A little more to the right Emily!", "Flip your dress Emily!!".
The practiced smile still on her face as she stole the spotlight from the rest of the celebrities. One thing she was good at was looking exquisite, and that usually happened all because of her glam team.
