Ellena was still biting her lower lip. Trying to regain consciousness. She started her monologue.
"Has he lost his mind?"
"What is he thinking?"
"Sleep with him?"
"Hey!" Elena let out a breath while putting her hands on her hips.
I know he's very seductive, but…
"BUT WHAT WAS I THINKING?? Oh my gosh, it's going to be terrible if I don't carry out his orders!"
Elena immediately panicked. He immediately took out his cell phone and made a call.
*Phone conversation
"Hello, Diamond Hotel? On behalf of Mr. Victor Stoner. Please prepare the best room yes! president Suite, Mr. Victor wants to stay there tonight. Don't forget the Lavender-scented mini spa. By the way, do you guys have any wine?"
"FINISHED? How did you guys run out of wine?"
"Oh my God! Well that's that then! Just provide what I said earlier. Mr. Victor is already on his way."
-tit-
Ellena squeezed her phone in a panic. I was thinking of the next way.
"Hotels, check! Best spa and rooms, check! That means just wine and… DRESS???"
Ellena swept her hair up in frustration.
"Gosh! Where should I look for a dress at this time of night! Oh God!"
Huuuuhhhh. Ellena let out a long breath with her mouth rounded as if she had finished her meditation.
"Calm down Elle, you will definitely get through this. Mother please help me!"
***
Ellena left the room while running a little, one hand holding a bag. He tilted his head to hold the phone to his ear.
Phone conversation.
"Come on Garry, I really need you. You know how Mr. Victor. He couldn't compromise. Please!"
"YES!!! Thanks Garry! You are the best!"
-End Called-
***
-Garry Salon and Boutique-
"Ulalala. Just the last few touches, and you are the most beautiful in the whole universe."
"The Universe? Are you comparing me to a ghost?"
"ha ha ha ha. Dear Elle, of course you are a little prettier than a ghost!"
"You evil!"
"Ha ha ha ha. Besides, what event do you have to dress up in the middle of the night like this? Didn't you say yesterday was Mr. Victor Stoner will end no later than 9pm?" said Garry, designer and close friend of Ellena. His behavior maybe a little softer than men in general, and his body is a little bulky. His skin was smooth and white, almost beating that of a woman. But Garry is the best confidant.
"I don't know he suddenly took me to the hotel and told me to make a pretty dress!"
"WHATTTT???"
"Yes, Yes, Yes! Surprised Garry. My expression was the same as yours when I heard that." Ellena supported her chin while raising an eyebrow.
"Ha ha ha ha."
"You're a little more excited than usual Garry!"
"All this time I thought he was gay. You yourself said he was never close to women. Turns out he's wanted you all along. WOW! The hottest gossip!"
"Haiisshhh!!! You're not helping at all."
"Ehm… Ehm… Sorry." Garry cleared his throat and turned Ellena's face back into the mirror. He grabbed Ellena's jaw and straightened her face. "Look, you are very beautiful Elle. Naturally, the semi-perfect man's eyes finally opened. Who can resist this angel? Beautiful, smart, independent and kind."
Elena smiled shyly. "You compliment me too much."
"So, what are you going to do?"
"Obviously he didn't get me that easily."
"Woohh, are you really not interested in him at all? Don't tell me you?"
"I'm still normal Gerry!"
"Ha ha ha. Think about it, he is very handsome, athletic body, successful, a man you rarely meet."
"Hmmm. And not the kind of guy I can consider the future."
"Why?"
"The degree is too high. Compared to him, I'm just a piece of paper."
"No, No, No! You underestimate yourself too dear Elle...."
"Obviously I won't be that easy to do what she wants."
"Ok, ok, then you will come there. Saying you don't want to sleep with him? You're fired! Your career is over! And goodbye to all the brilliant careers."
"He's not going to fire me. I have a little plan."
"Ok, beautiful lady! Hold on to your plan. Come on, let's try on a dress that suits you."
***
Elle headed to the dressing room at Gerry's boutique. Gerry picked out some clothes for her.
"GERRY! Don't you have a dress that's a little more revealing?"
"You want to wear a closed shirt for the first night? No Way! Dress up sexy. Or whatever you plan to be Mr.Victor Stoner's suspicion from the start. He's not a fool Elle. And you know that. Show a little of your seriousness."
"Ok Fine!"
"Your body is beautiful! It's ok to show off a little. It's just…." Gerry came closer and touched Ellena's waist area. "You're a little fat! You better go on a diet after this! But I can cover this part!"
"I'm a secretary. Not Models! Isn't this skinny enough for you? I only weigh 48 Kilograms with a height of 163 cm!"
"Sorry… I'm just used to models. Now tell me your plan," said Gerry while fixing some parts of Elle's dress.
"You know? He is weakest with alcohol. Mr. Victor always maintains a healthy lifestyle. That's why his body is so good. He always makes me drink a lot of alcohol when I'm with clients. Of course I'm more resilient! And this time... he asked me to bring some wine. I'll get him drunk, and I'm out of there! END! Elena always wins!"
Gerry smiled proudly. "You are a genius. Have you got the wine?"
Elena immediately widened her eyes. "NOT YET!" said Elena, panicked. He looked at the clock on the wall in the room. "GOOD SINCE WHEN IS IT 11? I COULD DIE!"
"Sssstttt! Calm down Elle. I have a stash of wine, a gift from a Client."
"Is that true??!!"
Gerry held his nails. "But it's the best wine of 1995, and it's not cheap. I'm in need of the newest collection from paris and-"
"Message me however many times you want, I'll transfer tomorrow morning!"
'One of the best wines coming soon.'
"You're the best Gerry!"
"Of course honey!"
***
Gerry took out a bottle of wine from his special storage. "Here you go my Queen!"
"Thanks Gerry! I go!" said Ellena curtly, walking hastily
"Hey Elle! Careful! Don't ruin the dress!"
Ellena didn't answer and just showed her the thumbs up.
Gerry smiled while shaking his head, looking at Ellena, who left in a hurry. "We'll see Elle, can you refuse a man as hot as him? tsk! I can't wait for your story tomorrow."
***
Ellena hit the gas in her car, running after time.
Arriving at the hotel, Ellena even ran while carrying her heels. His breath hitched as he grabbed the receptionist's desk!
"Mr. Victor Stoner! In what room number?!"
"1707. This is the key, Miss Elle. Mr. Victor is waiting for you."
Ellena immediately snatched the electric key card from the servant's hand, thanking him curtly. I stared at the clock and ran with shoes and wine.
***
"Hurry up! HURRY UP! COME ON LIFT!" said Ellena, patting her feet nervously.
"In a hurry miss?" said a man from behind Elle.
Elle looked back. The man looked cute with a dimpled smile on his cheeks. He was carrying a white coat on his arm. Elle accidentally saw the business card hanging on her coat 'dr. Edward Liu'.
"Huh?"
Ting! The elevator door opened.
Seeing this, the man extended his hand forward. Let Elena enter first.
"Thank you," Elle said with a short smile.
Only the two of them were in the elevator. The man smiled slightly at seeing Elle with bare feet and hands full of bags, wine, and shoes.
"The floor is cold. Better put on your shoes, miss."
"Oh no problem." Ellena smiled awkwardly, then immediately looked back at the front.
"Let me help."
"Huh?"
The man took the shoe from Elle's hand and looked down.
"Eh! No need!" interrupted Elena.
But the man continued to lift Elle's feet and put on her shoes. "This is better." He looked up at Elena with a smile.
Elle blushed. He looked down, tucking his hair to his ear. "Thank you."
Ting! The elevator opens on Floor 16.
"I'm getting off here."
"Ah, yes," replied Elena, looking down slightly.
The man got out of the elevator. Ellena looked at the man's back, then shrugged.
"Not bad. Thank you foreign man! At least you saved me a minute when I had to put my shoes on. I won't be late! Lucky for me!"
Ellena was still in the elevator waiting for the 'Ting!' next.
