Part 3

Angel's Pov

"Kate this is the tenth store we are walking in, I told you I can wear something from my closet, it's just an office party, please I'm tired" my plea was hitting on a deaf wall known for Kate's ears.

Why did I even come with her in the first place? Told you don't ever go shopping with her, it's the tenth shop we are walking and tried more than fifty dresses and still she didn't find the right dress, why does it need to be special in the first place?

"Kate, are you even listening? Urgh Kate, it's not like I'm a bride and meeting my groom at the party? Why are you so hyper?" I was frustrated and sat on the floor.

Yes you heard right sit on the floor in the middle of the store.

What? Don't blame me, my feet are ready to die. you must be wondering that why I'm blubbering stupid things, and what party and all.

Let me take you back in time, from where it all started.

Flashback

Today is my first day in the company as william enterprise so I reach the office at 7:50am, it's better early than late.

As usually I sit in my small cabin and start to work on schedule and business calls, I also need to understand the work pattern for william enterprise.

My intercon beeped, "Miss Hughes, If you are in cabin then present yourself in my office in ten seconds"

What ten seconds? I quickly put the work on the desk and rushed to his office and knocked.

Only after hearing a come in, I entered. There sat Mr William and Benny William.

"G-Good m-morning sir and ma'am" I said and they only nodded in return.

"Well Angel, as you know we have so many branches of our company, so this will be one of them and here we work for two things that is textiles and clothing, I'll be the CEO for now until my son able to take the position, and here Benny will be the COO to handle the clothing line, and you'll be the assistant for us both." He started and then proceeded to make me understand all the work.

"So that's all and you can call me Christian and her Benny but Angel again does your work with perfection" Mr William I mean Christian said with a warm smile. I nodded and left to my cabin.

_____________

At 7pm I was leaving the building when I saw Christian and Benny in the lobby, but decided to not disturb him.

"You don't speak much," Christian said, stopping me.

"And I thought you are one of those girls" Benny commented with guilty eyes. Why is she guilty?

"I'm sorry for my bad behaviour that day, it was just he seemed very familiar" I said with my red face and she nodded "it's okay".

"So angel, do you live with your family?" Christian asked, breaking my heart.

"Uhm sir..I. I live with my best friend, Kate," I said looking down.

"And your family?" He asked again.

"I..uhm ..Kate is my family and I have a mom but she has been in a coma for 5 years" I said with a sad tone.

"Oh I'm sorry, what's your mother's name?" He asked again,

Is it only me or does it seem like he is asking these questions for a purpose. "Layla Hughes" I said.

"Okey dear, do tell me if you ever need any help" He said, giving me a very charming smile.

He is really handsome even in his fifties. "Take care and Angel, don't forget tomorrow night is the party to celebrate William enterprise success and I need you to recheck all arrangements for it and come 1 hour earlier to check decorations, catering and etcs" Benny said handing me the folder.

I smiled and walked to my apartment it's only a fifteen minutes walk. Kate was home as I reached so without wasting time I told her everything. Not because I'm happy but because I'm dreaded.

"God Angel you always make a fuss whenever I ask you for a party and here you are partying with your new bosses" she pouted.

"Urgh Kate I also don't want to go but I need to be there to check all the arrangements, and don't forget I'm their personal assistant."

"Okay fine, so what are you wearing? I'll prepare you for the party, it'll be your first time so you should have the best experience." She giggled and started to talk about how she would make me ready.

I rolled my eyes and walked to the kitchen for dinner and then just skipped to my room to save myself from Kate's rant.

I'm dead tired so I'll just sleep now, goodnight.

_____________________

In the morning I got ready at exactly 11am.

I needed to check some documents and then at 2pm decide to get ready and reach the venue early, they must have started so I'll just keep my eyes on everything.

I wore my white jeans and matched it with white button down shirt and lastly red coat, yes I'm ready for today.

Just as Kate saw me with my attire her mouth sag open. "What in god's name are you wearing?" She shrieked like she saw a ghost.

"Duh. Clothes'' I said with a shrug and started to take my love my coffee, ummm I love the smell of- "Ahhhhh"

I screamed just as the coffee was thrown on my clothes and mind you on my white clothes. "Kate why did you do that?"

"You missy are not going to wear this in party, let's go shopping I'll find a perfect dress for you"

"What noooo, I don't have time I have to check the decorations and you know the traffic of new York, I'll be late"

"No.. no today I'll not listen to any excuses of yours"

Then she dragged me to the mall in my stained clothes.

And that threw me to the position I'm now at the floor of the mall, it's 5pm and I thought I would be there to check the decorations.

"Angel look I found the dress for you, try it try it try it" Urgh why is she so excited.

The dress was really beautiful. It was so simple, peach color dress with flowers decorations all over it.

It was not expensive so that's good for me.

It fitted me perfectly then I combed my hairs and decided to leave them open as they reach till my lower back knees, yes that's how long they are but I love my hairs and matched it with my white earrings.

Just as I walked out I found Kate with black heels and a make-up box. Wait what heels and make up box?

"Kate I'm so not going to wear any heels and going to get cake face" I said ready to make a fuss.

"Oh you are so going to wear them sweetie" she said with a glint in her eyes and I did the only thing that came to my mind.

I ran.
