Chapter 6 - Chapter 6

While I lay on my bed getting some rest, some pictures were sent to me by my informant. The pictures were taken while I led Mr Edwards in and out of my room. I checked the pictures and texted my informant to inform me of Mr Edwards whereabouts which he informed me. I got out of my bed and to get ready for the next action.

I grabbed a green short silk gown and got ready in it. Applied my make up and wore my cologne before leaving the room.

I left for a restaurant where I was informed that I will be meeting Mr Edwards. Mr Edwards was done with his meeting with a client. I quickly got out of my seat and signalled a waiter whom I paid for an act to come over to me. While Mr Edwards drew nearer to me, I gave the waiter a sign and made him drop a glass of wine on my dress right before Mr Edwards.

"My dress! You ruined it you lowlife! I yelled at the waiter.

"My apologies ma'am" the waiter said

"apologies? Does everything end with sorry you! I raised my hand.

"Hold on, are you going to hit him? Mr Edward said and stood up immediately.

"What do you mean by that?

" He already apologized for his mistake, so why try to hit him? He didn't do it on purpose"

"And my dress is already ruined. I'm to meet with someone important. How do I go about it? I barely know anywhere and my driver isn't around. I mean I was brought here by an Uber the hotel helped me get. I'm so frustrated right now"

" Hold on. Hey you go ahead" he asked the waiter to leave.

" Why should he leave? Hey! What did you just do?

"I'll help you out" Mr Edward offered.

"How? By insulting me, Mr grumpy old man"

" Please don't call me that. I'll take you to some boutique to get another outfit for your date"

" Date? I never said I'm here on a date. I'm... forget it. You won't get it"

" Okay. So shall we?

"Yes. Right after you"

"Ladies first. So after you"

"Yes" I smiled and left for his car .

Mr Edwards opened the door and I got in. My plan was successful. We drove off and arrived at some nice boutique and we went in. I had sent a text of where I was and was ready for action. Mr Edwards had his seat while I went through some clothes. I picked out a short gown and changed into it and appeared before him. My laps were visible and my cleavage was nice and noticeable.

I made a cough sound "Tell me, how is it?

Mr Edwards placed his phone beside him and looked up. I could swear he was charmed by my perfect beauty.

"How is it? I repeated.

" Looks good but isn't it too short for an official meeting? He complained.

"Yeah right? I'll try something else" I rolled my eyes.

"You can keep it maybe for some occasion"

" Wow! Quite generous. Mr grumpy old man is really generous. I'm pleased. I'll check out another outfit" I left to pick out another gown.

I changed into another gown but I needed to go extra mile to get his attention and get him to like me

An idea popped up in my head. To invite him to the dressing room and claim that my hand can't reach the zipper.

I smiled and popped my head out the door.

"Pss.. grumpy old man, grumpy old man" I called out to him in a low tone. He didn't hear. "Edward! I called out to him again and waved.

Thank goodness he noticed me.

"What? He asked.

"Come here. I need your help."

"Me? My help? For What? What have you done this time?

"I'm stuck. I need your help"

"Goodness". Me Edward placed the magazine on the couch.

Mr Edwards walked into the dressing room and I turned my back at him, placing my hair on my right shoulder making my back visible to him.

"what do you want from me, lady?

"Please help me zip up my gown. I can't seem to reach the zip. Please"

"Goodness. How did I run into you today?

"I'm nothing but good luck"

"More like bad luck. Fine I'll help you with the zip". Mr Edwards struggled to zip up the gown. Finally, he was able to zip the gown. He tried to leave but I turned immediately and grasped his hand.

"Sorry, I just wanted to say thank you and ask you if you like the outfit"

" Yes. This is better. Looks good on you. You don't have to go naked to impress someone"

"Goodness, the sermon from some ancient man" I muttered.

"Did you say something?

"Uh, not really. Just nothing. Thank you" I forced out a smile and requested we leave the dressing room.

Mr Edward left before me, while I packed up the gowns laying on the chair. I left to meet with him. I handed over the clothes to the sales girl who checked the price and calculated it. Mr Edwards made the payment and I was handed some shopping bags and we left.

'Thank you once again Mr.... grumpy...?

Mr Edward turned and glared at me.

"Hahaha, just kidding. Mr Edward. For real, I was kidding but I'll miss calling you that"

"I'm not a grumpy old man. I'm not even that old, I'm never grumpy"

"Yeah yeah. I get it. You don't have to sound like a broken record"

"Rude. That's rude. You're rude, miss rude.".

"Sapphire..."

"You're not a gem please".

"Funny. That's my name. I think we should do some introduction here, again. I'm Sapphire Daniels and you are?

"Mr Edward, for the tenth time"

"C'mon."

Mr Edwards opened the door while I got out. An. Idea popped up and I pretended to misstep and Mr Edwards was able to hold me from falling. He made me sit on the stairs , while I pretended to be in pains.
