Chapter 45: Persona created
The cream satin and silver lace and spangle wasn’t what she had in mind.
Neither was the silver heels, or the diamond necklace.
But it was by far, the most prettiest gown she had ever owned.
It fitted her snugly, without being revealing or obscene. It scooped up her waist, hugging her curves tightly.
Her hair was left in a cascade of black silk, a sharp contrast to her gown.
She glanced at herself in the mirror and her painted pink lips curved into a smile.
She grabbed the bag from the dressing table and headed out of her room. She already had a persona created for tonight.
Mysterious and intriguing, aloof yet not rude. That should do.
Another surprise that almost made her heart burst out of her ribcage was the twins, clasped in black tuxedos. With bow ties and their unruly hairs brushed and slicked back, her heart melted from how cute they looked.
The twins weren’t the only one present though. Ezekiel stood with them, his intense scrutiny of her, made her face heat up. And so did the slight nod of satisfaction.
Lu Chen whistled.
