Desperately into you

CHAPTER 30

"And for the final touch!" The professional makeup artist Olivia the gay says in a high-pitched voice and he's with his assistant Luna. They were here once again to do my makeup and we were almost done as I see myself in the mirror well fashionable while floating in this pale blue color nightgown with a deep neckline and a mid-thigh slit on both sides.

The makeup they apply was waterproof so it won't be messy if ever I get to sweat or something.

I was silently looking at myself in the mirror while they are doing their busy checking me.

I'm just sixteen years old but I don't look like one. Like I said.

And I don't know but I feel like something's changed about me? I still remember that I don't like dressing up like other socialite girls my age do. But here I am right now, very willing to wear something very stylish and to look good that anyone else in the event. I rolled my eyes secretly when the voice in my head said that I just want to impress someone.

"Oh my God dear! stunning!" Olivia claps in glee.

" She's beautiful even without makeup though, but you are ten times beautiful with makeup on, young lady." I slyly smile with Luna's complement.

They came here early to fix me up, 'cause we will be leaving after a while and we need to be on time, especially my father. He's very time conscious.

I saw Luna open the box where a new expensive soft blue silk satin flawlessly fit my feet and complement the nightgown I'm wearing.

I was sitting here while Olivia and luna were putting on my crystal design earrings since they were done with the makeup.

I reached for my phone from the near table.

I opened it and I got a text from Crisha and... Well... if Viel unblocked me and reply to my messages instead.

I sigh and look at my phone, of course, he won't do that. That frosty is too snob and stiff, though, he doesn't know it was me texting him but I doubt if there would be changes if he will know it was me? he won't I know that.

By just looking at him, I know he's an inactive texter and probably finds that just a waste of time.

But anyway... I'll be seeing him today so, I'm more focused on that.

''Whose bracelet is this, Oliver?" I heard Luna ask.

I was busy with my phone and trying to search for Viel but I can't see find the information that I want. Other websites for the elite were private though, I don't have access to that. I only found

the information that I already knew, that he's the only successor of all their properties and business, Viel Conrad Bandini. 24 years old. An aeronautical engineer who will replace the president and director of

the AeroFlit MCPRLI. That's all the information I've got, other than that, non...

And our families are Business associates.

I Lift my head when I heard Olivia gasp,

" Oh my goodness, Luna!" He exclaimed scandalously as he flip his invisible long hair since he was not wearing a wig. I caught him rolling his eyes at his assistant before he continued.

"How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me Oliver!" He snaps at her irritatingly.

Well, that high-pitched voice is kinda sharp and irritating.

"Alright, alright. Olivia, it is." Luna raised her both hands as if surrendering and the latter just giving her a dagger look.

What's with the name anyway?

" So? Whose this?" She asked again.

Olivia told me to stand first before he answered his assistant question.

I looked at the bracelet on her hand as she shows it to Olivia who's the owner of it.

I just shrugged and busied myself looking at myself in the mirror. But I can hear these two here talking since we're just in one room.

"Ohh!.. I think that's Bella's bracelet, I saw her take that off. I think she forgot about that since she's so excited about the party..." I heard them talking.

I don't pay much attention to them, maybe they are talking about another client.

A knock interrupts as I saw Melinda peek her head in, not fully penetrating...

" Young Lady," Melinda looked at me and those two as she smile.

''Your parents are waiting downstairs young lady," she implied in a polite voice.

" Aye, Mr. and Mrs. Tyson are waiting for their only princess. Vàmonos!" He claps his hand and looks as he angled the way so I would go first.

the three followed on my back as we make our way to where my parents are. The hem of my gown smoothly grazed my satin as I took every step.

When we reached our Living room where Dad was busy talking to someone on the phone and my Mom was holding a fashion magazine while they are dressed sophisticatedly.

My Dad is wearing a black suit, which I have already gotten used to seeing him like that, and my mom looks beautiful in her dusty green shoulders with a designer bag in her arms.

"Let's go." When Dad notice our presence they stood up together.

After we got in the limo that was waiting in front of our mansion, Mom and Dad did a formal goodbye and I did too with Olivia and Luna before we depart ways.

They also went to their car as they rode it out of our premises.

I was resting my back on my seat. Limousin is very spacious for us three, and this is always what my parents prefer to use if we are all going somewhere.

We will be using our private jet though, Jet off from here to Seattle just like the last time 'cause it was their business anniversary we are going to attend. and we are heading to the land strip where the jet is ready and Pilots are waiting.

We arrived smoothly and another limousin waiting for us as we strode down the stair of our Jet. The butler will probably drive us to Bandini's mansion.

" Get in Cassidy," My Dad commanded when he caught me roaming my eyes in the place, This is a private airport and unlike last time, we went here.

I nodded and obeyed my dad.

We're on the road and I was entertained by the surroundings.

After a couple of minutes, we stopped in front of a grand hotel with a very appealing facade,

My forehead creased as I observe the place, I thought we are going to the Bandini's mansion since there will be a party? I look at my parents.

they are relaxed and stoic.

The driver finally parked the car and the butler opened the door for us.

I can't help but ask.

" Mom? I thought it was going to be in Viel's mansion?-- I mean their mansion?" I asked hesitantly.

I saw my Dad answer a phone call again and signal us to go first...He's so busy as usual.

"Hmm? you didn't see it in the invitation sweetheart... This is the venue of the party, come on, Cassidy. your dad will follow." she said.

This is an enormous classy hotel, Bandini's owned this too? perhaps.

"But they are all here right?" I asked my mom as we walk to the spacious hall.

''Yes, of course, this is a grand party after all... all subordinates and business associates will be here and other elite in the business industry.

"Viel.. too?" I asked and I tried to sound casual, I just want to know, I came here for him anyway.

I stopped for a while and looked at speculating something.. she lift her arched brows and narrow her eyes at me.

" Why are you asking anyway?" she asked me.

I bit my lips and looked at her confidently.

" Well as you said, we're friends. you know?" I raised my brows trying to prove a point too.

" Hm," She responds languidly as she starts walking there the staff of this hotel guides and greets every guest as they guide her to where the party will be held.

I learned that this is a grand party hotel and everyone was beautifully dressed up... sporting their luxurious accessories and designers' bag.

socialites...

Well, we're part of them too but I'm not really into this but I have to be here since I have my reasons.

I think I felt dizzy when I just found myself surrounded by another elite woman who was chattering with my mother.

" Alora..gorgeous as ever darling, " Another woman greeted her, looking like same as her age too.

" Sonya! nice seeing you again, by the way, this is my daughter, Karina Cassidy.." she held both arms as she introduced me.

The woman stared at me for a while then she smiled.

" You're so lucky to have a very beautiful daughter, Alora," she said as she smile at me.

I smile timidly feeling unease about her stares just like the other women earlier when my mom introduced me to them, they praised me but because I have a very huge problem with trusting so I don't pay much attention to it. I always know that people can always say good things about you, compliment you and be good to you. They can say all of that in front of you. it's just that... you're oblivious about what they think about you behind your back.

" I appreciate that thanks," I replied.

We were now at our table after the exhausting period of standing and meet almost all of these people.

"I'm sorry honey, I took so long." I heard the fierce voice of my father as he took the seat.

I can't help but wonder sometimes. My dad was also a strict and serious man is that why my mother fell in love with him? because I'm turned on all about Viel, he's strict and serious too. Oh, like mother like daughter..!

And also not to mention that my father has the looks and so my mother.. something that I should be grateful for because I am their perfect combination.

you're gorgeous Karina!..

I shook myself, I'm not full of myself though, praising yourself is self-love.

"Cassidy. are you listening?" I heard the voice of my mom and that's when I'm pulled back to my senses. Im spacing out!

"Ah, yes..yes Mom" I answered as I smile cutely.

I saw that my dad wasn't at our table and I saw him talking with some the businessman

I know we're just sitting here for ten minutes with our desserts and drinks on the table.. but I keep on looking around.

what makes him so long? I can't see him anywhere.

" Sweetheart, you should learn to socialize,"

"Mom, that doesn't interest me" I answered stubbornly as I have a taste of this sweet dessert in front of me which was unfamiliar but it taste good, though I don't know its name.

While my mom was busy doing something on her Ipad, I didn't notice she brought it, it's either she was reading and checking financial reports or it was related to new stylish dresses. That's usual though.

I almost finished the dessert on my plate, good thing that my mom was busy and she didn't notice it. I don't really like her exaggerating reactions to sweets.

The clamor caused by the guests turns into silence for a moment when Mr. Boromeo Bandini finally showed up and went in front to leave a message.

I felt alive when I saw Viel's father the President of their company, a successful businessman just like my father, well they were best friends after all and Associates.

I keep looking around to see someone, the reason why I'm here, is because if he won't be here then-- oh let's not think about that KC

Focus on the bright side. the voice of my mind reminded.

My lips protruded, I think I'm going insane!..
