“Mr. Gold, do you want to have something? Some coffee, juice or something like that?” one of the girlish voice came from behind as they were doing my manicure and pedicure.
“No, I’m fine” Mr. Gold replied in his usual cold and hoarse voice.
“Oh ok, and is there anything you need Secretary Liam?” the same voice asked again.
“No no, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me, just get back to your work” he replied.
“Hihihi” the girl giggled softly “Please let me know if need anything.” She said in her girlish tone. And to be honest I don’t like her not even seeing her.
After a while they said my nails were done. They removed my facial mask and asked me to open my eyes. I opened it and look at my nails, they weren’t that bad or dirty before too but it looks like a hand of some princess now.
One of the looked at me for a while and then turned to Mr. Gold “What is she being ready for? Is it some special event? Party or something? I mean what kind of makeover should we give her?”the girl asked.
“No nothing special, just meeting a client. Don’t put so much makeup on her just make her look professional” Mr. Gold said not even lifting his face up to the girl. I was seeing hm through the mirror in front of me and he was busy in his phone.
“Well I guess we will change her dress too if it is not a problem” the girl asked for permission.
Oh my gosh, now she think I look unprofessional too. and who was such a big client for whom I need to get makeover and dress? I felt annoyed but all I can do was nothing.
“Do whatever you need to do” he said as he was still on his phone.
Then is phone rang and he got out of the shop to pick his phone up. The girl started to apply primer on my face and then some bb creams. While she was doing some eye shadows above my eyes, Mr. Gold came in and asked “How much time does it take now?” he asked.
“Maybe half an hour, not more than that” the girl said with a beautiful smile on her face.
“Make her ready when we came back. Liam you came with me…” he said as he turned around and left the room.
The girl finish my makeup. It was a no makeup look, so the makeup applied was so little and almost all of them were as of my face color. I looked at my own reflection in the mirror, and I looked beautiful. Not that I was not beautiful before but the girl on the mirror looked like better version of myself.
After the makeup was done, the girl gave me a mid-length skirt in pencil grey and white shirt along with a gray out coat. It was good but wasn’t my clothes the same? I thought in my head.
I wore the dress and she got me a high hill in black to wore with that dress. I looked at my own reflection in mirror. I felt the skirt a bit short and the shirt was hugging me a bit tightly. My hair was left carelessly on my shoulders and two strands were cut half on my each side of the face and i… I don’t look like me on the reflection.
Willis’s POV
I entered the parlor again and I stopped frozen at my place as I saw her. She looked… amazing. I can feel the excitement of Ray inside me. I remembered this morning, how she was in my arms this morning. I was holding her locking her in my arms. I gulped some water remembering the morning. “Mate looks beautiful” Ray said.
“shut up” I shook my head and tried t clear my thoughts away.
“Come out now” I said to Riley and I gave a card to the girl in the counter. She swipe the card and then returned it to me.
I took the card and walked out of there. I took her to another shop. She followed quietly behind.
“Take her size and send some good clothes to the address ” I said to one of the girl in there and she looked at me and she instantly recognized me.
“Mr. gold, please have a seat. I’ll do that right away” I went to a seat.
“Please you came here mam, this side” the girl took Riley inside a room. I gave the card and write her address in a paper and handed the card to the girl in the counter. In a while Riley came back following by the girl. From the facial expression Riley don’t look happy at all”
“Uhh sir, can I ask what kind of clothes should we deliver? Is there special prescriptions” she asked me.
I looked around the shop and all of them look beautiful. They must look good on her. I thought for a while.
“All the decent sized clothes, send one one piece whatever you have here. Remember not to send too revealing or short” I said and the girl nodded.
I came out of the and Riley also followed me with her head down.
“What is it?” I asked her.
She looked up and she didn’t look happy at all. She said in a soft voice “I’m working to clear my previous debt and now you are adding more to it. I can’t pay these dresses cost even if I work for the lifetime. One dress here costs double than my one month’s income” she said in a serious tone.
I chuckled at her words. Of course I wasn’t going to take the money for all these. “Do you think I’ll take money for all this? Do you think I need money?”
She looked up at me with pair of misty eyes “And do you think I want to have all those for free?” she said.
Phew, this girl. How could I forget she is a kind of girl who values self respect not money. “You can give those clothes back to me once you are not my assistant, for now I need my assistant a bit upgraded” I joked and look at her but she don’t seem to like the joke at all. I felt guilty and wanted to say sorry but before I could speak up she blurted out.
“Ok, boss” she looked up and she gave me a sarcastic smile before she ran out of the mall. I paced up my speed and went out of the mall. Liam was already waiting for me there and then Riley was a bit away from the car.
“Got in, we are late” I opened the car door and hopped at the back seat. She came to the car and then she opened the front seat and sat beside Liam. I looked at her in shock but she didn’t look back once. Instead I met Liam’s confused eyes in the rear-view mirror. He looked somewhere else and started the car.
They both were silent all the way. When they got near the Golden Company, Riley spoke all of the sudden “Please stop the car, I’ll go on my own from here.” She said. Liam looked at e in the rear-view mirror. I nodded at him and he stopped the car at a side. She got out of the car and walked towards the car. After she was gone, Liam looked back at me with questioning eyes.
“What? Its late already, please lets go”
I looked out of the car and Riley wasn’t nowhere to be seen. But my car wasn’t moving, not even a inch. I looked at Liam and he was looking at me too. He was still looking at me instead of driving.
“She had a condition when we made the deal, no one in office should know that we know each other out of the office too and we lived at the same building.” I said and then he nodded and moved the car towards the office.
When we reached the office, everyone in the office greeted us. I went in the elevator directly and liam followed behind.
“Make a contract for one month, this one month she’ll work without salary and her debt would be cleared. After that she can quit the job if she want but she need to inform a month before quiting. And I don’t have anything with her after that.” I said.
He kept silent for a while before asking “Is it all because she’s turning in this month? You want to be with her until the change, but what after that? she’ll know you…”
