“When are you leaving?” Oriana asked in a calmer tone.
I’ll be leaving soon.”
“So fast?… Then you need to get some rest, so you wouldn’t be tired.”
“Is that all you have to say?” Deacon queried with furrowed brows.
Oriana pondered for a while. She really didn’t have anything else to say, she nodded affirmatively, “Yes, that’s all.”
Deacon grabbed her carpus and pulled it gently. Oriana’s body stumbled directly into his embrace.
Oriana quickly disengaged from the unplanned hug. “What are you doing?”
Before she could finish speaking, he dragged her little hand and placed it on his waist.
Her soft palms touched his strong muscles through the thin fabric. She hastily wanted to retract her hands.
But Deacon held unto her and did not allow her retreat. “Is this what you want?” Deacon deep voice sounded in her ears.
Oriana knew that he was acting according to what he heard, and she even felt more embarrassed. “Mr. Armstead, we were just kidding. Let me go!”
A knock was heard on the door, Henry respectfully said from outside. “Young Master, your private jet is ready. It’s time to leave.”
Deacon released her hand, “Don’t stare at there next time. If you have any problems that you can’t solve, just give me a call.”
With that. Deacon left.
Oriana showered and went to bed. She took her phone and changed the topic of the conversation with North.
North finally sent a message to her, “Don’t worry, although I have to continue shooting a while at abroad. I’ve already had someone dig up Monica’s old juicy history. It will take some time for she’s not so stupid to let anyone find them out. Later, I’ll come back and we’ll tear that bitch Pamela up together!”
Oriana bade her goodnight and needed to sleep. But Oriana couldn’t sleep, when she shut her eyes, all she saw were flashes of Deacon pulling her into his arms and touching his waist with her hands.
She thought of what he implied by “Don’t stare at there next time.”
She didn’t think too much of it as she remembered his last sentence, “If you have any problem that you can’t solve. just give me a call.”
Oriana closed her eyes and suddenly felt at peace as she drifted off to sleep.
Oriana was awoken by the ringing of her phone. She opened her eyes and grabbed her phone which laid on the pillow beside her.
“Hello.” She said into the phone as she let out a yawn.
“Hello, Oriana, it’s me. Sorry to disturb your rest.” Monica’s voice sounded over the other end. Oriana could hear a wave of resentment in her tone, but she ignored it and asked innocently, “Ma, is there anything I can help you with?” “Oriana, Today’s Gabriella’s birthday. We’re throwing a party for her. We’re inviting you, if you’ll be free tonight.” “Oh, sure. Just send me the address. I’ll attend if I’m less busy.” Oriana responded, thinking she couldn’t let her look. down at herself.
“Great! The party will be held at Royal star hotel.”
“Royal star hotel?”
“Yes, Oriana the Royal star hotel is the best in Los Angeles. Only celebrities and prominent people can afford to be here. You just returned from the orphanage, I’m certain you’ve never heard of it.”
Oriana smiled. She knew Monica had called her just to brag.
On the day Oriana returned to Los Angeles, she had seen the hotel. It was located at the most beautiful part in LA. The design were extravagant and stunning.
Oriana wondered the amount that was splashed by Patrick just so the birthday could be held there.
“I’ll take this chance to check out the Royal star hotel. I’ll see you tonight.” Oriana hung up the call and closed her eyes.
It was evening. Oriana had stayed all day in the room. She sluggishly stood from the bed and headed to the storage.
She was informed by Old. Mrs Samantha that there was a storage in the room which contained all the types of clothing that she needed.
Oriana turned on the door knob and was stunned. The racks dazzled with big brand dresses, shoes, and bags of all types.”
This was undeniably every woman’s dream.
Oriana face lit joyously. She wondered if Deacon had prepared the room.
Oriana hastily grabbed a beautiful red dress and a silver heels and silver bag. She changed into the outfit and headed. for Royal star hotel.
Oriana entered into the hotel and was about taking the elevator upstairs, but she sighted
Pearl walking towards her.
“Oriana, so you’re here? Take a look, this is the Royal star hotel. If it weren’t for
Gabriella’s birthday you would have never be able to set your feet here your entire life!”
Pearl said with a spiteful laugh.
Oriana pressed the elevator button and sighed, “Whose pug is this? It ain’t locked in chains. Where’s the owner of the pug?”
“How dare you!” Pearl’s expression had changed drastically, Pearl noticed the red lace dress that Oriana wore. She swiftly asked, “This is from the global luxury brand,
LUMINOUS. This is their newest design. Where did you get it from?”
Pearl was a true LUMINOUS fan. All the high–class ladies would give an arm just to be able to purchase from the brand. And anymore who buys from them, didn’t hesitate to show off.
Now seeing Oriana clothed in the world most prestigious brand, it made her about to blow up.
Of course Oriana was aware of the brand that was putting on. She contemplated on what her reaction would be, if she found out that she didn’t just have one but dozens of it.
Looking at Pearl’s envious face, Oriana moved into the elevator and smiled lightly. “Do you really want to know how I got it? Nay, I ain’t gonna tell you.”
Pearls mood was completely ruined. She really abhorred Oriana. Especially with Oriana’s beautiful body doing justice to the dress, she felt like ripping it off her skin.
Pearl rushed into the elevator before it closed. She tugged on Oriana’s dress and tore it with force.
Oriana face suddenly turned cold, “Pearl, why the heck did you just tear my dress?
Pearl smile confidently, “Oriana, I really don’t understand what you speak off. If you’re saying I tore your dress, then bring the proof?”
Oriana stepped forward and grabbed the edge of Pearl’s dress and also tore it.
“Oriana!” Pearl gasped. She didn’t expect that Oriana who was eloquent could also retaliate.
Oriana sneered, “No one ever reasons with a mad dog. The best thing to do is to pick a stick and hit the dog. mercilessly!”
Pearl was about exploding!
The elevator door opened. Monica who was awaiting her quickly noticed her torn dress.
“Oriana, what happened to your dress? Why are you attending a birthday party with a torn dress? Come with me, I think we got some spare dresses. You can choose from there.”
Oriana trailed her into the room. There were beautiful dresses hanging in the wardrobe.
Oriana glanced at it. The dress in the maid’s hands was a pink princess dress, laced with diamonds. It was also from
LUMINOUS.
Oriana picked up another dress “I don’t like that one. I’ll wear this instead.”
The maid said anxiously. “Miss Oriana, this dress is much better than the one you picked.
You should go for this.
Oriana looked at the maid and said, “It’s just a dress right? Why are you worried about?”
When Oriana stared at her, she felt a little guilty. Oriana’s eyes were so pure and pretty.
“I’m not worried miss, I just want you to dress beautifully to the party. “The maid replied with a smile.
“Thanks, let me have it. I’ll just go on and change, could you please wait outside?”
At the party. Patrick had really spent a lot of money into the event. He invited most of
LA’s celebrities and CEOS. Gabriella was surrounded by her friends. When she saw Monica descending the stairs, she moved to her and asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter? Did she wear the dress?”
