"I am making progress" Martha said looking at Vincent.
"You had better be quick and make sure you get me my information" Princess said sternly.
"Yeah,okay,alright" Martha said and cut the call.
"Who's that?" Vincent asked Martha.
"Are you invading my privacy now?"
"I saw you looking at me when you said you are making progress. Making progress on what?"
"Nothing,not your business" Martha said her eyes darting around.
"Ohh,we are here" Vincent said and stepped out of the elevator.
"Woww" Martha exclaimed as she got out of the elevator.
They were in a sector filled with clothes alone,it was so big.
"Is this the headquarters? It's so big" Martha asked looking around.
Vincent frowned and looked at her.
"This is the smallest branch"
"Really?"
"This place is owned by DBAMS,it's headquarter can never be this small,it will be disgraceful and will spoil it's image"
"Are all people allowed here?"
"At the first floor,yes. Here,no"
"Who are those allowed here?" Martha asked as she followed him through a door.
"Staffs in DBAMS,rich men,very rich men actually" Vincent said and then snapped his finger.
Thinking he was calling her attention,Martha looked at him and then realised he was snapping at an employee.
'We are here as a staff in DBAMS and his girlfriend,that's slightly understandable but it's still a big deal'
"I guess staffs enjoy a lot" Martha soliloquized and then looked at Vincent.
Vincent was whispering something into the lady's ear and she was giggling and blushing until he stopped talking.
When he was done,she would speak into his ear and he will also smile. This went on for a short while and when they were done,she bowed and walked away.
"Mmm mm mm" Martha cleared her throat.
"What is it?" Vincent asked her.
"What was that about?"
"Nothing,not your business" Vincent said,crossing his legs.
Martha was about to speak but then noticed two women coming towards her.
"Mam,please come with us?" One of them said.
Martha looked at Vincent. He looked back at her and said;
"Go with them"
"To where?" Martha asked feeling insecure.
"Just go with them" Vincent said waving her off.
"Let's go mam" The woman repeated.
Martha gently went with them and left Vincent seating there.
~~~~~
Martha was taken to an enormous room.
There was a king-sized bed,a restroom,a large curtain,two sofas and that was all.
"Please sit" The woman said again,signalling to the king-sized bed.
Martha gently sat and tried to act unfazed,so as not to embarrass Vincent.
"I hope Mr Vincent is good to you mam" The woman suddenly said.
Martha's eyes widened.
'Who is Vincent? The guy? But what if it is someone else? What should i do?' She thought.
"Yes,he's loving" Martha smiled.
The woman smiled and nodded to the colleague.
The colleague went out and came back in very quickly. She came wheeling a large cart of gowns into the room.
"We will have to try each of this mam"
Martha's eyes widened looking at the clothes.
'All?' She asked herself.
'Oh no,i feel these clothes will be weird on me,i have never worn them' She thought.
"Mam,you don't have to act modest or rich,we know you have not being here. You will be fine,i assure you that" The silent woman spoke.
"What's your name?" Martha asked.
"We are not allowed to disclose that mam" She answered.
"Okay then" Martha nodded. She didn't bother asking for the reason,she knew the rich's way of life was completely different from what she had ever seen.
"Let's start with this one" The other woman said as she brought out an armless red sparkling gown with a big bow behind it.
It had the actual gown reaching knee length and the net over it was reaching her ankles.
"Okay" She said and collected the gown. She was heading to the curtain when the woman suddenly asked:
"Do you need us to dress you?"
"No" Martha answered immediately as she turned in shock.
~~~~~
Vincent was waiting patiently and received a phone call from Blake.
"Did our babe pick you up?" Vincent asked.
"Dude,have you heard?"
"Heard what?"
"There is big problem"
"Why?"
"They shifted the fucking party" Blake said at the other side.
Vincent sprang up.
"Hold on.Which party?"
"The rich men party"
"To when?"
"Tomorrow night" Blake said,worry vivid in his tone.
"Arrgghh. Is this that man's plan?"
"I don't think he is responsible for it. I think it is Mark,the one that wants to get your father's company instead of you"
"Mark? That asshole"
"What will you do?"
"I will figure something out,i will speed things up,nothing must go wrong" Vincent said with determination.
"Okay,let me leave you to it" Blake said and then ended the call.
Vincent dropped the phone and began to pace back and fort. He thought of what to do and then headed to the room Martha was taken to.
~~~~
Martha was exhausted. She had worn and changed twenty dresses already but the woman said they were not suitable. How were supposed to be suitable? She never wore them,they probably looked weird on her.
She came out again,wearing an armless green gown when Vincent suddenly entered.
"What if i was naked?" Martha panicked.
"You wouldn't,that's why the curtains there. Sweet,let me see you" Vincent said and then walked back out.
The silent woman followed him out.
'Oh,she is sweet. That's a pretty name' Martha thought.
