Athena was shocked at his words, “wha-what?”
“Come on, Athena, let’s get you out of that cloth first,” he offered.Athena quickly clutched on her dress, she gulped and looked away from him, “I’m sorry about that night, that shouldn’t have happened. I was drunk, you were too, we didn’t know what we were doing, so let’s never talk about it, it was nothing but a mistake.”Due to the fact that she had her eyes lowered, she missed the glint that flashed in his hazel eyes, he didn’t linger to it and spoke almost immediately, “I never do what I don’t want to do, whether drunk or not, but if it will make you feel better, then we will not talk about it and address it as a mistake, hmm?”She looked up at him then, not believing he had actually agreed to that, did he really? It was almost impossible for Frank to agree to anything she says at first, she would have to go on about it forAthena heaved a sigh, ready to meet the person waiting for her, when she placed her hand on the door knob; she sucked in a deep breath and let it out through the mouth before opening the door. She stopped short when she saw the man in the room, wait? He is a man? But it’s was not what she expected. He was dressed in a white shirt with three buttons open, a blue blazer on top it and then a blue pants with white shoes. He had make-up on and he hung his hand in the hair with a little flair of exquisiteness that she had never seen before.He looked at her, his eyes were aqua blue and she had every reason to believe that he was wearing contacts for it was too bright, his eye make-up made him look like Cleopatra. “Hmm, what do we have here?” He shook his head softly as he assessed her from head to toe, then he cat-walked to her. He stopped before her, she had stepped out of the bathroom by then and he waved his beautifully manicured fingers on her face, “hmm,
Everybody was busy dancing or talking with their partners or in a group, listening to their topic of discussion, one will realize that they almost talked about the same thing: the politics, the top models, the best actress or actor. The top designer, the caret of gold they were wearing, the number of zeros for the gowns they were putting on. How much the diamonds on their necks cost and so on.Waiters served the drinks and everywhere was in merriment until someone gasped, getting everyone’s attention to the double stairs with golden handrails, the stairs was a beauty but its beauty was not to be compared to the two people standing on it, the man in black including his shoes and the lady in Augustus Hawke’s Black seductress that was released few months ago. People were momentarily frozen by the thought that it took a long time for them to show any reaction. The man was easily recognized as the CEO of Brand’s entertainment, Sean Brand but who was the woman, an i
Frank heaved a deep sigh and answered, “Yes sir.”“If it doesn’t have those three things, then I am afraid you have failed, because those three words describe a woman and I want her to wear it, designed only by you,” Sean smiled.“I will be honored, sir,” Frank smiled, if care was not taking, his lips are going to stretch to his forehead at how hard he was smiling.“Great, that is settled then,” Sean turned to Simon, “anything I can do for you?”Simon laughed, “I was only looking for you to introduce our newest designer to you and you have already given him and important task, what else can I want?”“Oh, that’s nothing; I just love telling her how beautiful she looks by what she wears since she won’t believe my words.”Simon looked at Athena who still had her head down, “I’m sure you have said it to her so much that she found it hard believi
No words were exchanged as Sean led Athena through another dark staircase and when they finally came out to a bright hallway, she was surprised, it wasn’t the same hall that led to the dressing room, it was another one and this one looks more unique and beautiful. She looked at Sean, wanting to ask how many hallways the house have but decided against it, she didn’t want to sound inquisitive.Sean stopped in front of a door and she bumped into him while looking at the beautiful red drapes that hung on the windows, “oh, sorry,” she said.“Don’t bother, here,” he pushed open the double doors, “I hope you like blue,” he murmured before entering and she wondered why he would say that but when she stepped in, she knew why. The room should be named the blue room because the bedspread, the headboard, the curtains, the walls, the drapes, the chairs, everything was blue.Athena gasped, she has never seen so much blue, &ldquo
Athena couldn’t believe all that she heard but still, she went into the bathroom to take the shower. When she was done, TB helped her dress into a nice silky navy blue gown. He applied a light makeup on her and smiled at his handwork. “Sean is already downstairs, you would find him in the living room,” he said to her.She looked at him in shock, “um TB, how can I find there?”“You will have to girl, I need to clear this up,” he answered, pointing to his makeup bag and immediately got to work.“Then can you give me a direction?”“Sure, go out, down the hall, take the second door, go downstairs, take the left door and then you take another right door. You will go down another stairs, take the first right door and then another right and you will find yourself in the living room.”Athena was frozen with her jaw on the floor, “so many doors to get to the living room?”“Girl,
Sean smiled when he saw the look in Athena’s eyes, “you think you are up to the task to be tutored by me?”“Em, I don’t know, I can’t possibly tell. You don’t look like you would be strict.”His smile broadened, “don’t be mistaken, Athena, I can be very strict, you can ask Tobias if you doubt it,” he withdrew back but rather than pick another slice of bread, he picked up a napkin and started wiping his hand, “we will begin by changing your wardrobe, you can join Tobias when he would be going to the spa with his models, let him handle you and he can also pick up the best creams for you. He mentioned those last night.” He picked up his phone and stood up, “I will see you in the afternoon, I have a meeting to attend to now.”“Oh,” Athena whispered, she wasn’t expecting that he would leave her alone in the big house, well there is TB, so she is not actually alone.
Frank looked at the way Athena left and was glad she ran away, he turned to Sean and smiled, “I am very sorry about that Mr. Brand, I never wanted you to see that and neither am I like that as well. It’s just that I figured I should be hard on her for her to let me go. You see, I met her a few days ago and I offered her some cash but she had refused to let me go since then. She follows me around, everywhere I go, she even attended your party last night but I asked her to leave and I also made her understand that it can never work between us, who would have expected that she would stalk me to here again? I figured I had to be extremely hard for her to get the picture.”Sean said nothing, all that was going through his mind was how he could easily end the man’s career with just a phone call, he just needs to call Leo and ask him to fire him and the man would be jobless in the next ten minutes but what would be the point of that? That would just be the quic
Sean stepped out from his car right after Athena had gotten down, he stared at the puddle he had stepped into and sighed, but rather than show a scowl on his face, he took another step and stepped away from the car and the puddle. “Oh my heavens, how could someone live here?” TB asked as he got to his side and Sean glared at him and he immediately shut up.Athena sighed and tucked her hair behind her ear, “I’m sorry TB but I live here, and I have done so all my life.”TB felt bad for the way he had spoken, “I’m sorry I reacted like that, it’s just…”“It’s okay,” Athena smiled, “you have lived in luxury all your life, so I understand if it’s your first time stepping into a slum.”TB didn’t say anything and looked at Sean who was glaring at him, he pouted and looked down at his feet, although he hates where he was standing but he didn’t make another comment.
