C12 Her Preparations

"Shit!" I cursed under my breath turning around,

"Miss. Ellis," Coop called out making me stop,

"Mr. Spencer wants you both to get dressed in the guest rooms, your dresses and everything is set up in the room," he said,

"Ava," he called out and She walked towards us,

"Help them out," he said and walked away.

"Follow me," she turned around, led us towards the stairs, we climbed them and turned to our right and walked through the hallway. There were many rooms one after the other and we stopped near one in the middle,

"Miss Smith, this is your room," she said while opening the door.

"Thank you," Darcy said while stepping in and closing the door.

"Please," she gestured to me to follow her, I nodded my head and walked behind her. We stopped in front of a room which was beside the room Darcy had taken. I watched while Ava unlocked the door and gestured to me to go inside, I nodded my head and smiled at her.

I stepped inside and closed the door behind me, and when I turned around, I gasped,

"Oh my god," the room was big and had a queen size bed placed in the middle and sofas on the left side, near the window. The room was Chocolate and white colour coordinated, even the furniture too.

It had a big LED tv on the wall in front of the sofa and couch, and to the right side were two doors one at each corner. I walked to the left side door and pushed it in. It was a big walk-in closet and I guessed that the right side door must be a washroom.

I walked towards the bed and saw a few bags placed neatly on it, I opened them and saw a dress in one bag and jewellery and heels in the other two. I quickly walked towards the bathroom, I didn't have time to look at how big the bathroom was as I was in a rush.

I immediately slipped inside the shower and took a quick hot shower, I wrapped a fluffy pink towel around my body and rushed out. I walked inside the walk-in closet and pulled out a drawer to find all kinds of undergarments. I hurriedly took the pair of white undergarments and wore them and rushed out.

I opened the bag which had the dress in it, I pulled it out, it was a white off-shoulder Beaded Slit White Prom Dress and it had a low v-neck. It was so beautiful. I quickly wore it and zipped it, As I took another bag I heard a knock on the door. I walked towards the door and opened it,

"Miss. Ellis, Ava asked me to help you get ready," A woman with black hair and blue eyes stood in front of me with a smile on her face.

"Okay, come in," I said and moved aside, she walked in and closed the door behind me.

"Please sit down," she said, taking me to the walk-in closet. She placed a chair in front of the big mirror and I sat down. I watched her quietly while she did my hair and makeup. She pulled the jewellery box out and opened it. I gasped when I saw the necklace, it was so beautiful and looked very expensive.

She put it on me and took the earrings out of the box, they were simple pearl earrings which looked beautiful on me. I stood up and looked at my reflection and smiled. I looked beautiful, It had been so long since I got dressed this way. The eye shadow she applied made my eye pop out and the red lipstick made me look complete.

"You are looking beautiful, Miss Ellis," She said pushing a strand of my hair behind my ear,

"Thanks to you," I smiled, while she helped me put on my silver heels, I heard a knock on the door,

"Come in," I said and Darcy walked in dressed in a light blue dress that looked beautiful on her.

"Miss. Ellis, You look so beautiful in this dress," she said smiling at me,

"You look beautiful too, that dress suited you, Darcy," I smiled back,

"Thank you, Guests are arriving one by one, We need to go now, Miss. Ellis"

"Okay," I said and turned towards the woman behind me, "Thank you so much for helping me," I said while hugging her, she hugged me back and smiled in return.

I turned around and walked out of the room, Darcy followed me behind, and I reached the stairs and walked down. I noticed the living room was filled with people and many are walking inside, I didn't know Arthur had invited this many people. I have to take care of the drinks and other things because we thought it was just a casual party but I doubt it now.

I ignored all the looks I was getting while I climbed down the stairs and walked straight towards Jeena, who was talking to the bartender standing behind the bar and helping him with the drinks.

"Jeena," I called while walking to her, she turned around and I noticed her eyes moving down to my dress and back to my face.

"Miss. Ellis, You look so beautiful," She grinned,

"Thank you," I simply said and looked at the drinks placed in the bar.

"Jeena, We need more. Guests are many, call Mac and ask him to come, take his help and call me if you have any problems," I said and turned around.

"Darcy," I called while I walked towards the main door, "I need you to take care of guests with the help of Ava, don't make any mistakes," I said,

"Okay, Ma'am," She replied and walked towards Ava.

"Coop," I called while walking to him, who was walking inside, hearing me he turned and walked to me.

"Yes, Miss. Ellis," he replied, stopping in front of me.

"Where is Mr. Spencer," I asked, he looked around, "There," he said pointing his finger to my right, I turned and my eyes locked with his blue/ green eyes. I can't ignore the fact that he looked extremely hot in that outfit.

He was wearing a white shirt underneath and a black coat with a red tie, his black hair was neatly combed back and he was surrounded by men in black suits who looked his age. I shook my head and walked towards him,

"Mr. Spencer," he excused himself and stepped towards me, his eyes moving on my face and I shivered to be under his intimidating stare. I tried not to make eye contact with him and tried to control myself,

"Eve...Everything is done, an...and I think...guests have ar....arrived, you should start the party," I said and quickly turned around and rushed from there while breathing hard. I could feel his eyes boring into my back but I controlled myself and tried hard not to look back.

After a few minutes, Mr. Spencer started the party by giving a speech and telling everyone how happy he was when he bought the company. He ended his speech by promising that he will make the restaurants more popular and successful.

The songs began playing and everyone started dancing happily I was sitting at the bar, listening to Jeena and Darcy talk.

"Miss. Ellis," came Coop's voice from my behind, I turned and saw him walk towards me.

"There's someone waiting for you in the room you dressed up in earlier," he said and before I could ask who, he walked away. I stood up and began walking to the room.

Who can it be? Maybe the woman who helped me dress up? I thought and climbed the stairs, I slowly walked through the hallway and reached the room. I knocked on it but no one answered,

Why isn't anyone answering? I thought and slowly pushed the door. I stopped inside and the room was empty,

"Hello," I spoke while walking in and abruptly the lights turned off making me jump in fear.
