Behind Her Façade

Arriving at the banquet hosted by the Yales were people of prestige, the elites and important socialites. Many luxury cars stopped at the entrance of the banquet hall with neon lights shinning everywhere. The interior of the hall was luxurious which portrayed the taste of the Yales. Inside was Mr David Yales, his wife Eldora Yales with their sons, Bryce and Xavier Yales together with their dates approaching some friends and business partners. Outside the reporters were taking photos of the guests coming in, not missing the chance to ask little questions. In less than an hour, two black Maybach made an opening for a second car, a luxurious version of a Rolls Royce, as well as two accompanying Mercedes Benz protecting the rear towards the entrance of the hall. It was impressive to say the least!! The moment the cars stopped at the entrance, it attracted the attention of the surrounding guests, causing then to whisper amongst themselves. "oh my god! isn't that the ride for Dawson Yales? Every single car is luxurious. He really is impressive." a reporter exclaimed "Dear, Mr Yales really does have outstanding sons." a lady said to her friend "Yes he does, why do you think my darling Dawson won't be outstanding." A lady clad in a red sequin body con dinner gown with blonde hair walked towards them saying. "So, Miss Smith does this mean the both of you are together?" a reporter asked. "Instead of talking why don't I prove that to you." Chaya Smith answered proudly. However, in the next second, a few bodyguards in black suits got off the Mercedes Benz, and one of them respectfully opened the door of the Rolls Royce. As the guests in the scene were looking forward to this moment, Dawson Yales who was wearing a black suit got down from the car. As soon as he got down, the atmosphere at the entrance of the banquet hall became tense. His eyes were sharp, and his lips were thin. This was a face favored by God. Seeing that Dawson has alighted from the car, Chaya Smith ran up to Dawson grabbing his hands to prove to the reporters that they were together. "Dawson you're here" Chaya Smith said smiling but Dawson just shoved her hands and extended his hands towards the car for a certain person to get hold off. Everyone's jaw dropped when they saw a lady with a stunning appearance and a graceful figure walking out of the car with the help of Dawson's extended hands. Though she was clad in a swath of vibrant red form-fitting dress like a flame against the night sky, her face was so beautiful it made people wonder if she was a celestial being who had descended to earth. Her hazel eyes were catlike, but more wide-setted with a hint of coldness. Her eyes were as bright as the sun in the morning, as they sparkled with intelligence and interest. Her skin was fair and rosy, and her long curly hair cascading down her waist added a sense of distance, making people feel that she could only be admired from afar and not touched. Her necks and ears were adorned with rare diamonds. Chaya felt threaten. She was always confident in her appearance. Although she couldn't compare to top stars, she could still stand out among others. But when she saw the lady in front of her, she suddenly felt that she was just average. When did Dawson have such a stunning beauty with him?! Not only Chaya Smith, but everyone was stunned and no one spoke for a long time. A reporter whispered to his colleagues, "Who is she? I've never heard of her before." A reporter said "She might be a foreigner, but didn't Chaya Smith say they were together". "You should know she was just being arrogant. I have never seen Dawson Yales smile at her once." a fellow reporter replied with mockery. "Look at her dress!!" Someone exclaimed Everyone looked at the lady's dress. In their mind...... they were stunned even more. "....This....could it be....the only dress design that the famous foreign designer Bry made this year." "Yes it is." A reporter replied this question Everyone:"....." Damn it. It's really the dress!! A lady hesitated for a while before asking, "How can this lady have it? I heard it's so expensive that even if the royal family wanted it, they won't have access to it." "Then how come it's on her?. Or is she influencial than the royal family." "I don't know but if you are talking about influence, then the Ceo of Makdews sure has enough influence more than the royal family." The whispers continued "Take a look at the diamonds on her neck and ears. I saw those design as the lastest and only customized ones in a magazine." "Yeah I also saw them. They were made by Hal." "Wait do you mean the mysterious jewelry craftsman?" "Yes of course, who else would be able to make such captivating design." Hearing all these whispers, it was as if Chaya's hope were shattered. Chaya cleared her throat before asking, "Dawson who's this lady and why is she holding your hands." "Am I obliged to tell you about my private life?" Dawson answered coldly. "But..."Chaya continued but was interrupted by the lady. "Dawson, who's this?" the lady beside Dawson asked. Her voice was like a violin, so calm. "She's nobody." He replied curtly as he smiled dottingly at her. Anne Garner could feel the awkwardness, so she got a hold of Chaya's hands glancing at the couple in front of her before asking. "Chaya who's this lady, I thought you said Mr Yales is your date today that's why you decline Nathan Sullivan." "Despicable." the lady beside Dawson commented as she slowly made her way towards the banquet hall with Dawson beside her. Recovering from their shock, the reporters approached Dawson blocking their way towards the banquet. "Mr Dawson, who's this damsel with you?" a reporter asked "Dawson Yales looking from this pretty lady attire, is she from a royal family?" another asked "Is she your girlfriend Mr Dawson?" "She's Emmy and she's dear to me." Dawson Yales replied "And of cause, she has royal blood running in her veins." He continued smiling at the lady beside him. His words got the reporters confused. Which of the royal family was she from that she could get access of both Bry and Hal's designs? This was the next question the reporters wanted to asked but Dawson beat them to it. "Excuse me." Dawson said making the reporters give way. Looking at the couple going inside the hall Chaya's face flushed with anger. Getting inside the hall the couple garnerd the attention of the guests causing whispers at every corner of the hall. "Who's that with Dawson,she doesn't look like Chaya Smith" a lady in her mid-thirties could be seen asking her husband. Her daughter replied, "Oh oh I think Chaya just made a fool out of herself." "That dress on the lady looks familiar don't you think?" her friend asked "Yeah, but I can't remember where I saw it but it's speaking luxury." "That's the lastest design of Bry called Flame." Cecile Yales the cousin of Dawson interrupted. Another lady smirked crossing her arms with Cecile's as she said, "I don't think Chaya Smith can stand up to her." Eldoris Hopkins, also a cousin of Cecile. "You're right. Come on let's go meet Celest." Cecile said dragging her cousin with her. Listening to the whispers from the guests Dawson Yales made his way towards some business partners holding Emmy in his hands.Approaching the men they turned towards him looking lustfully at the lady beside Dawson. "Good evening gentlemen" Dawson greeted "Good evening Dawson, it's nice to see you" one of them said not breaking eye contact from the lady in front of him. "Pleasure meeting you Dawson" the other said nudging at his friend to compose himself. "Pleasure is all mine Mr Dimitri"Dawson replied "Looks like Mr Fernando is distracted" he continued looking coldly at the man in front of him. "That's not it Mr Dawson, am just captivated by the beauty in front of me." Fernando shameless answered "May I know your name young lady?" Mr Fernando continued "She's Emmy, Mr Fernando and I would advice staying clear if you still want your eyes attached to your head." Dawson replied coldly "Nice to meet you Miss Emmy." Mr Dimitri said trying to ease the tension. "Hello Mr Dimitri."Emmy replied "Hi Mr Fernando, pleasure meeting you both. Hope Mr Fernando isn't angry, Dawson tends to be protective of me." she said clinging to Dawson's hand "It alright D, Mr Dimitri was just trying to compliment me" she smiled as she pecked Dawson on his cheeks. "Yeah, Dawson. That's exactly what I intended to do." Fernando quickly agreed with the lady in front. He didn't know why, but there was something about her smile that he couldn't place his hands on. But he had it in the back of his mind that he shouldn't get this young lady angry. "You see, he wasn't flirting." Emmy continued looking straight at Mr Fernando "Mr Dawson, about the collaboration of our company, I think...." "This is a party Mr Dimitri we shouldn't dive too much into business." Dawson cut him off before he could continue "If you don't mind, I want to introduce Emmy to some other people." Dawson didn't wait for them to reply him before he left them going towards other people. "You shouldn't collaborate with them." "And why is that?"Dawson asked as he looked at the lady besides him. "Tricky."she said as her gaze turned cold Those were the only words she said but Dawson knew what she meant. He was surprised that she knew what kind of people Dimitri and Fernando were. "Hmm." He replied "We should probably go and meet the rest of them." She smiled as she nodded toward some men not far from where they were standing. Dawson was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses"Yeah, you're right."
