Finally, the day she had been waiting for is here, no the day everyone in the company was waiting for is here. She made no mistakes where made while the preparations take place.
And then also, her first plan is going to be executed that night. Sophia had called to inform her that their predator had invited her to be his date to the gala.
Assane and his crew took care of the food and everything that has to do with feeding while through the help of Sophia, she was able get through the best interior designer to design the venue.
Then Sophia came through with a gala gown for her. She had never felt so happy like she did that day. The gala was meant to be small but her father went against it and made sure to invite almost all the business people in New York City. She didn't go against that, she had no problem about that because she is going to brag about the company achievement under her care.
She made sure to send Gabriel all the essentials things he will need to know before the event. He will make a presentation of the new site.
"Do you prefer nude or glossy?" The make up artist she had booked for the day asked. She'd go with glossy but then she went with nude.
After she was helped in to her black embellished tulle floor length gown. The hand was shaped into a curl ball and pearl stones was used to adorned it. She really loved how Sophia made sure she brought out the details of the gown.
"You look pretty ma'am." The make up artist complimented. Rebecca muttered a thank you to her then she moved to look at herself in the mirror while she twirl.
Is this what she would look like in on her wedding day? She will definitely make sure Sophia sew the gown, She believed that Sophia is blessed naturally.
She went out to the garage with the help of her maids. Assane is going to be her date for the night, well for the time being before his fiancé will grace them with her appearance.
She met the driver dusting off the car, not because it was dirty. "Welcome ma'am, if I must say, you look gorgeous." The old man complimented and she couldn't stop the blush creeping up her face.
She entered the Benz and settled down. "We will first pick Assane from the restaurant." She instructed while she surfed through her phone.
SxE gala diner was trending. She knew it would, it has been long since the company held something that big. She couldn't deny the fact that she is beyond happy, she has been the CEO for two years now but she had never done something this big.
Gabriel made her proud, as her father had suggested she should give him a bonus pay because he deserves it as he did what she could never do. It was a mockery, she knew but at least Gabriel was under her, so she has nothing to worry about.
The door opened and Assane entered clad in his tuxedo. He looked dashing, that she couldn't deny but they were never meant to be so she buried the secret for the entire time.
"Mi lady, am I allowed to compliment you?" He joked.
She smiled, Assane and his almost lame jokes. "Yes Assane. You belong to me and I belong to you." She replied.
"Sure. You look pretty, you look dashing, you look beautiful. I hope you find your Prince Charming tonight." He prayed and she cringed her face at his last statement.
"I don't like all those rich brats of New York but we shall see what happens." She said, taking her mind off what he had said.
It was no lie that most of their business partners had showed interest in getting her off to their kids but then almost every rich kid of New York has a history of the bad life. She is not exclusive but no way she would hook up with their kids.
She would rather marry a poor contented man like Gabriel. Not that she is downgrading, but because she is telling the truth, what is in her heart.
They reached the venue and the place was screaming money while the loud beats of the music plays. The venue was trooping in and out with people that where invited.
With the help of Assane, she exited the car and stayed while the photographers did their work. "I told you, this is going to be a blast." Assane whispered in her ears.
"Well, let's see how it ends first." Came her reply.
They entered inside and she left Assane to greet some of her business colleagues that she might likes. She would flash some a smile while others gets nothing from her.
She is that type of girl, she would definitely show you when she hates you or like you. Her phone pinged and she checked. It was a message from Sophia telling her that she had arrived at the venue and they would soon enter as they were stopped by photographers.
She smiled, step one is done. She sighted her father with some of his old friends or rather their business partners. She gulped down a flute of champagne before heading to them.
At least she needs to pass her greetings to them, she is not that rude. "Ah, I see you have decided to come to meet me." Her father said but it almost came out as a snarl.
"I had to check in with the caterers father." She replied a little bit hesitant.
"Sure." Was his only reply but it was a sarcasm, she knows.
She watched as he conversed with his friends while her eyes roamed around the room looking for someone she is much familiar with. She will definitely kill her PA for taking her year leave at this time of the month.
She sighted Gabriel standing with a lady and she walked to him smiling. "Gabe, you came" She greeted.
"Yes Ma'am and this is my wife Claire." He introduced.
