Arya was taking a nap after working different part-time jobs for hours. She even had to work as a nanny, to her children were annoying but she knew just how to handle them and even though it was hard, she needed the money.
"Argh.... Who the hell is it" Arya groaned and stood up from her bed, she dragged her feet towards the door and opened it.
"That took you long enough,I thought you were already dead"
" Were you delighted?" Arya rolled her eyes.
" I can come in right? I'm here to remind you of something important" Katherine said and went in with her maid. Arya closed the door after her and went to meet her.
"How do you manage in this... this small place. Well, I don't care, it's probably in your blood" Katherine said and looked at her maid. The maid quickly brought out a handkerchief and cleaned the couch thoroughly before laying a cloth on it for Katherine to sit.
Arya scoffed and sat too. "Please, take a seat" Arya said to the woman standing behind Katherine but she refused.
Katherine put her hands out and the woman quickly put a file on it. Katherine passed it to Arya and smiled.
"I'm not signing the contract just yet"
" I know, that's the schedule for the dates you're going to"
" So you came here to give it to me? By yourself? " Arya scoffed.
Katherine stood up and the woman quickly took the cloth from the couch.
"No, I came here to remind you that you're going on that date as a member of Hill family, don't embarrass me in any way and that goes for your dress sense too, don't go to a date in a luxurious restaurant looking like a boatman. For once in your boring life, try to look beautiful. I'll give you a chance for the date tonight, if I'm not satisfied with how you look today, I'll come along tomorrow with dresses and accessories which you must wear. That's all I came to say, whether you agree or not... It's final. Anything that yous hear from him, even if you have no knowledge about it,play along." Katherine gave a fake smile and turned to leave.
"Just so you don't be disappointed later, make sure the guy isn't a pervert, I might get annoyed and beat him up if he messes up" Arya smirked.
" You won't dare. Even if he rubs your thigh and kisses it, you must let him do it. It's your duty as a daughter" Katherine eyed her spitefully.
" We'll see then. You'll be watching, right? Let's see how good of a daughter I can be. The door's right open" Arya picked the file up and went into her room.
She scoffed as she heard the door close. "What a despicable woman... Tonight by 8pm? It's almost time, I have little time to prepare. If she cares so much about her honor as the wife of the Hills why didn't she send me a car too"
Arya opened up her wooden wardrobe and was surprised. "Ugh.. what a sight" It was full of pants of different textures, colours and sizes, t-shirts and hoodies.
"Should I just wear anything? No, right? I might be denied access into the restaurant I'm going to" Arya talked to herself as she bent down, there was a box there so she dragged it out,in it were all her other clothes; skirts, gowns and other things she used to wear to work then because her boss insisted she dressed "normally".
She poured all the clothes in it out on her bed and began searching for something suitable.
"I should start wearing these once in a while" Arya said as she lifted a gown up and put it on her body, she looked at the standing mirror and laughed out loud.
"I look so ridiculous. Should I call Emma to help me? " Arya threw the gown back on her bed, she looked thoroughly and later found a gown Emma bought for her when they were in University together and decided to wear that.
Arya looked at the time and thirty minutes were gone already. She rushed to the bathroom and took a quick cold bath. She sat in front of the mirror and dried her hair gently, she packed it up in the best way that she could.
She looked at the length of her bangs. "Should I just cut it? It looks too long" She said and put it behind her ear, her hair was soft and curly so it ended up falling in front of her face again, so she decided to just pack the whole thing in a ponytail.
Arya put on a little bit of make up as Emma had taught her. "Shit, I'm late" She wore a coat and carried a small black bag before setting out. As she got out, a young man got out of the car and bowed his head.
"I received orders from Mr Hills to take you to your destination. Please get in" The man opened the door. Arya didn't hesitate and just entered.
As Katherine had said, it was a luxurious place. Soft music played there and people just minded their business and ate silently. She looked around for her date but didn't find him sitting anywhere and just when she decided to just take a table and settle there, a waiter came to her.
"Are you Miss Hills?"
"Yes, please. Do you know where the person I'm supposed to meet is?" Arya asked curiously.
" No, but you have a seat reserved already, please come with me, you can wait for your partner there" The waiter said with a smile and led Arya to the table. Arya thanked the waiter and sat down, getting more and more curious about the guy.
Arya looked towards the door and she was a man coming in. He was wearing a navy-blue business suit that fitted him perfectly, his face had soft features one could easily know he'd be a gentleman. He walked towards Arya majestically and smiled.
"Woah..." Arya said before realizing it.
