Chapter thirty four
If you lay a hand on her you'll die .
Emily got out from the hot shower and moved around the room to get a hair dryer. The beautiful chandelier in her suite room shone brightly, giving the room a diamond glitter.
"Now let's see how to stop this girls from bugging me. " She spoke loudly to herself.
Ever since they had arrived yesterday, the thought of not going to the birthday party was getting more and more appealing. Especially after she went with the others to greet the celebrant and his family.
Alfred, the birthday celebrant that looked around Micheal's age was pretty shocked at the mention of girlfriends. But he masked his expression with a huge grin and did as if nothing was amiss
Mrs Winters almost squeezed Emily to pulp in her tight embrace, expressing how delighted she was to have them there and asked about Micheal and the others. Mr to winters wasn't at home and so they weren't able to exchange any pleasantries with him.
And just as Emily has suspected, she was smiling stiffly and trying to look all natural while answering all the question directed at her .
And that Alfred or whatever his name was , was staring too lustily at her little exposed cleavage. Emily's hand itched to scratch his eyes out of their sockets.
Motherfvcker!
"I think I'll just plead a headache. " She grabbed the cotton dress that she brought with her and sat on the huge bed that was covered with a white silky linen . The bed felt like thousands of soft feathers on her back, when she slept on it yesterday.
She had been expecting Micheal to come into the room since yesterday but she didn't see anyone that even looked like him and she assumed that he wasn't here yet.
She grabbed her phone and punched a number, she cleared her throat in readiness to sound as pitiful and meek as ever.
"Hello ?? " She breathed softly into the phone.
"Emily is that you ?? " Mera asked unsure of whom the voice belonged to.
"Yes it's me " she replied meekly and smiled smugly. If only Mera was here ,she would praise Emily for her top notch acting skill
"What happened to your voice? What happened to you?? " She questioned worriedly.
"I'm having a slight cold. But mostly I'm having headache"
"Should I come over to your room ? " Mera asked with concern dripping from her voice.
Emily panicked. No, she couldn't come else her cover would be blown.
"No , I mean it's not necessary I've sent the room service to get me some medicine" she spoke hurriedly, lest Mera began to notice do something suspicious.
"Well , then take care. The party is going to start soon . And babe , you'll be missing a lot . This place is hella beautiful. " Mera said with a dreamy voice .
Emily scoffed and rolled her eyes .
"I'll just take a rest and see if I can come . I wouldn't want to miss out on anything. " She knew it was a white cute little lie . She wouldn't come no matter what .
She had readied her phone for a movie and she would soon order for some fried chicken and the fruit wine that she had yesterday.
She hung the phone and flounced herself to the feather like bed and squealed.
"Let start with some facial care and hmm what else perhaps some manicure? " She mused.
She stood up and went into the bathroom to prepare her facial mask , her home made facial mask and some other nonsense.
After some combination of either relevant or irrelevant ingredients,she was finally able to come up with a black sheen mask that looked dry and somehow crumpled.
She held the thin sheet up for a better view , after a few shakes and tweak ,she decides to wear it like that .
"What could possibly go wrong ?? " She burst into laughter after remembering the hilarious pimple incident.
"Well some things could go wrong but who cares. It's time to look err glamorous" she flung her hands up in the air and pretended as if she was on the runway.
Waving to the imaginary people,and blowing kisses to the thin air .
"Thank you, thank you . " She bowed stiffly and wave .
After a few minutes of roaming aimlessly around the room , she sat down on the sofa and stretched her legs.
"Now it's time for some beauty treatment. " She grabbed the Telecom on the table and called the receptionist.
"Hi ma'am , this is winters luxury hotel . How may I help you ? " The voice said politely.
Emily cleared her throat and resume to talk like the sophisticated woman that she was , wasn't .
"Hi , this is suite 1567. I would like to order for some fried chicken and fruit wine and cheese. Perhaps some popcorn and orange too. " She ticked off her fingers as she named her demands.
"Yes ma'am. We'll get them to you in ten minutes. Hope you enjoy your stay at Winters hotel . " The line went off.
And within a few minutes, her orders had arrived and Emily smiled and opened the door wide for the trolley to enter.
The porter bowed and went out of the room .
Now , Emily settled to devour her meal and she connected the 72 inches television to her phone for a better view .
Halfway through the meal, some chicken wings had gone , half of the orange and half of the popcorn, everything was scattered all over the floor and she still had her face mask on.
God only knows how she remain thin and doesn't gain weight after all the enormous food that she eats.
The door bell rang , and she answered muffled. With a chicken drumstick in her mouth.
"Dhoo, ish daart??" She spoke as loud as the drumstick would allow..
After asking again and not receiving no response, she got up and went to open the door.
The drumstick flew out of her mouth and her eyes widened in shock .
Micheal stood outside the door ,with his arms crossed against his broad chest and a bemused expression on his face.
" I can see how this headache is seriously affecting you. " He spoke in voice full of mirth and was about to burst into laughter. He was simply holding himself back judging from the look on his face.
Then Emily remembered the face mask and how much of a clown she must look like now . With sauce all over her mouth and the bath robe she was wearing coupled with her face mask .
"Will you let me in now , huh ?? " He said with a playful smirk .
"Ah , yes . Come in " she answered embarrassed.
"Wow , this place is neat . " He spoke sarcastically as he eyed the whole messy room.
Then he suprised her again . He held out a box that Emily had no idea he was holding and handed it to the opened mouthed girl .
"Check it . And since I'm guessing your headache has dissipated, you could come to the party now ?? You need to be there. There are some things I need to do . I'll take a shower and you can get changed. " With that he proceed to move to the bathroom.
Emily couldn't be more suprised,when she opened the box and came in contact with a beautiful pristine white dress. She held out the dress and felt the silky texture.
It was a sleeveless dress, that had a breast cup made on it and was shining or rather glittering in the presence of the chandelier.
Thousands of gem was stuck to it and it was slit up to the calf.
"This is pretty . " She cooed.
And there was an equally stunning silver heels that was paired with it .
She checked the price tag and her eyes almost fall out of their socket..
"Holy gooseneck!! " The number of zeros on it made her throat dry and her mouth water at the same time.
"Trust Micheal to always be flaunting his wealth. "
A few coral Pearl that looked real , no they were real and a diamond necklace was in the box.
"Now , this , this is glamorous!! " She spoke loudly in shock .
She got dressed and arranged her hairs in curl sticking the pearl in them . She paired it with them heel and the necklace and the earrings too. The overall result was stunning. She looked so beautiful and sophisticated.
"Now the problem is with me , not falling flat on my face with this heels. "
"Do you like it ?? I picked it up myself. " Micheal spoke from behind startling Emily. She turned her head to meet him looking so extraordinary handsome and gorgeous with his wear.
He wore a black retro suit ,a shade that looked as dark as the night , that has a silver lining to it . It glinted in cold luster.
"I love it . This is beautiful. And we're kinda complementing. " She pointed out. The silvery lining made them look like they were a couple with a matching clothes.
But truly micheal was a sight to behold. His sexy jaw and lips were on full display with his hair slicked backwards exposing his forehead. All in all he was the perfect definition of "coming straight out of a woman fantasy. "
"Shall we ?? " He broke the silence that stretched between them by offering his hand for her to take.
"Now there are some thing you'll need to know. The first one being , do not drink anything except the one I give to you. I might be touching or hugging you intimately, you'll have to forgive me for that . And lastly make sure that you're not alone . Okay ?? " He spoke lowly to her.
"Understood. " And with that they held hand and moved out of the room.
***************.
The waltz music was playing softly and they audience were dancing in pairs.
Emily stiffle a giggle when she saw how uncomfortable Mera bad Hana were dancing . She pitied Gabriel and Samuel's leg, she was very sure that their leg would be bruised now.
Michael led her to a table , that was at the center of the beautiful hall. Just like Mera had describe, the hall was indeed beautiful. Much more than she had imagined.
But she has no time to ogle at the beautiful hall when she noticed the hostile and hard stares that they ladies were passing to her.
Some had a curious look on their face and others pretended to be uninterested while they were itching to know what was going on.
Emily decided to be Petty , she clung to Micheal and held a contact with a woman in a red beautiful dress , that looked all dolled up .
She tucked her hair behind her ears and gently tap Micheal.
"Can you bend to my level honey ?? Hmm?? " She spoke in a low sultry voice .
Even Micheal looked confused, but he bent anyways.
She leaned over to his ear and said some useless nonsense while giggling like a school girl . She saw the woman in red clenching her hand together.
Serves her right.
They got to the table where the men were seated with their girlfriends or wives.
Micheal pulled out a chair for her. All eyes on the table turned to them and Emily smiled.
"Whats up bro ?? Its been a long time. " Theman with a huge beard said in a husky voice . He stretched his hand out for a shake.
"Your wife ?? " Another man asked
"Not yet Samson. But soon. " Micheal replied
Alfred came to join the table .
"Birthday boy . " The man with beard whose name Emily learned was Santos spoke loudly .
Alfred sat down and exchange pleasantries with them. His gaze found Emily and he let it roamed around her body . Emily couldn't feel more disgusted .
They got into talk.
