From Fake to Forever

CHAPTER 5

Daisy

“So have you gotten your outfit for tomorrow?” Ethan asked as we ate our lunch.

“Ohh....I ...I forgot?... again,” I said and Ethan chuckled.

“Have you gotten yours?” I asked.

“Yea... kind of,” He said scratching his head.

“Kind of?” I laughed.

“Yeah”.

“Okay, I’ll get mine today after work, if I go early”.

“We’re closing by 3 today, there’ll be plenty of time”.

“That’s if your boss lets me go on time, I left by 6pm yesterday,” I said.

“Really? That’s so mean, I’m sorry about that,” he said.

“Yeah, thanks”.

We finished our lunch and went back to our offices.

The day went like a blur, I made sure I had sent off all the invitations, and everything was set for tomorrow, it was finally 3pm, I took a deep breath and knocked on Mr. Alexander’s office door to let him know I’m about to leave.

“Sir, it’s closing time, I came to inform you that I’m leaving now,” I said after I had entered the office .

“Why? What did I tell you yesterday?” He asked angrily.

“Why is he always angry “ I thought.

“I know Sir, but I need to get my outfit for tomorrow, I went home late yesterday,” I explained .

“Fine, make sure you dress smartly and not scantily, our partners, investors and associates will be there” He grumbled.

Soo rude.

“With all due respect, I’m not that kind of person Sir,” I said trying to curtail my anger , turned on my heels and left.

I hated shopping alone, but I had to cos Jessie was busy and I didn’t want to disturb her.

I walked round the store for like an hour looking for the perfect dress till I found one.

It was a wine color body fitted maxi dress and I loved it.

I went home, cooked, brought Jay food in the hospital and went back home.

By now it was 6pm, I decided to call Mr. Alexander to make sure his outfit was ready for tomorrow.

“Hello Sir, sorry to bother, I just wanted make sure your outfit is ready for tomorrow,” I said.

“Yea, it is, Pablo helped with that (his PA) thanks,” he said.

“Okay Sir,” I said and ended the call .

I had already eaten with Jay so I slept off.

The next morning, I woke up early in order to prepare early, the event starts by 3pm but as the CEO’s assistant I needed to be there early enough.

My phone rang and it was Jessica.

“Hey Jess, good morning, how was your event?”

“It went perfectly well, I would tell you all about that but I’m coming to your house right away,” She said hurriedly.

“Why?” I asked.

“Cos I need to help with your hair, makeup and nails, pls tell me you’ve got a dress,” She said panicking.

“I havee,” I said laughing.

“Thank God”.

By the time, Jessie has gotten to my house I had already taken a shower.

“Let me see the dress ,” She said.

“Here,” I said handing her the dress, I really hope she’ll approve.

“Hmm,” she said judging the dress, I narrowed my eyes at her.

“It’s beautiful,” She said and I let out a breath of relief.

She did my nails first , we kept it simple and short, it was patterned wine color to match my gown and white.

Just then my phone rang, “it’s my boss,” I said.

“Well, pick up”.

“Hello Sir,” I greeted.

“Hello, I need you to come to the company on time, I’ll send a driver to pick you up by 1:30,* he said.

“Okay Sir “.

“Yea, see you there”.

The phone was on speaker so Jessie heard everything, “well, we still have time,” She said.

She did my hair, she did a side -swept curl hairstyle for me. Next was my makeup, we kept it very simple and light .

Finally I wore my gown, it was an ‘off the shoulder’ long , body fitted wine colored dress with a very long side slit which almost reached up to my waist.

I couldn’t go around dressed like that, so I wore a black hose.

“Woww, beautiful, so pretty, I wanna cry,” Jessie said dramatically.

I looked at myself in the mirror, I did look very pretty.

“Mr. Alexander is gonna be smitten when he sees you, same with the paparazzi and all the men there,” Jessica said excited.

“Mr. Alexander has a Fiancé,” I reminded her.

To complete my look, I wore a white sleek pair of high heels and took a black purse.

I put my phone, cash, card, lip gloss and everything I need in my purse, we took pictures and videos.

At exactly 1:30 the driver blew the car horn, “Alright, I’ll see you later, thank you so much Jessie,” I said.

“Anytime baby girl, go and rock,” She said excited.
