Took you long enough,” she said, her eyes glinting with amusement. Lily’s gaze flicked to Noah, who stood beside Lilian. “Did she tell you? She’s the mistress of Moses, the owner of L&L Company. You shouldn’t let her fool you,” Lily said, her voice loud enough for those nearby to hear. Noah raised an eyebrow but said nothing, his expression unreadable.

she grumbled. Vanessa exchanged glances with me and we burst into laughter while Brooke grumbled some more. "Sorry Brooke. It's not my fault they look nice," I said between laughs. "Well, Brooke isn't completely wrong," Vanny put in. I raised an eyebrow in question. "Let me explain," Brooke said. "Unfortunately, I can't remember the names of the security guy, the gardener and the cleaner but they both look good though the gateman looks like he could have a family. Your cook, what did you say her name is again? Your cook is very lovely. In fact, she's beautiful and also looks like a married woman. If her husband is as fine as she is, then her children must be drop dead gorgeous."

She was standing in front of a huge mirror wearing a black ball gown, with that perfectly sits on her curves, the gown has thin golden vines around it, glittered that shines whenever any light reflects on it.
