Chapter 7 A party?
“We’ll discuss about your punishment later, prepare yourself, you’ll be escorting me as my personal assistant to a business party this evening.”
He announced.
“A party?”
Emily asked, her heart beating faster in her chest.
“Yes Emily, a party.”
Niguel repeated, taking his eyes off her and concentrating on his computer.
Emily on the other hand was nervous and scared as hell.
She didn’t expect she would be escorting Niguel to a party so soon and she knew it wouldn’t be a small party which was exactly the problem.
All or almost all her clothes had faded and weren’t even fit for a date talkless of a business party. And worst of it all, she didn’t even have any money to buy one.
An idea suddenly popped up in her mind and leaving the office she quickly dialled a number.
“Please pick the call Olive, please pick the damn call.”
She prayed.
Her prayers were answered immediately the rings came to an end and a female voice boomed from the other end of the line.
“Emily!”
The voice squealed happily making Emily close her ears for some seconds.
“Yeah, it’s me Olive, how have you been doing?”
Emily asked, releasing the breathe she didn’t know she had been holding for a while now.
“Oh you suddenly asking me how I’m doing? You fucking stop calling me Em.”
The voice yelled from the other end and by the sound of it Emily could tell she was pretty angry.
“I’m sorry Olive, I… I… I’m sorry.”
She shuttered.
“I need your help Olive.”
She added almost immediately.

“You had what??”
A voice yelled and Emily couldn’t help but to cover her mouth with her hands to prevent her from shouting any further.
“Shhhh Olivia, it was a mistake.”
Emily shushed, talking very quietly, her voice barely coming out in whispers.
“You had sex with your new boss who is the C. E. O of cloudrevel Company?”
The lady known as Olivia asked, her voice quieter than before.
“Yes Olive and it was a mistake, we were both drunk.”
Emily emphasized.
“Oh my gosh Emily, I’m so proud of you.”
Olivia muttered, making Emily roll her eyes in disbelief.
“And I’m so happy you’re done with Jaiden, I never liked him anyway.”
She added, earning a stare from Emily.
Olivia had always been her best friend right from high school even though she was in a higher class far more than hers.
Her dad was a business tycoon while her mother was running some of her dad’s companies, they were one of the richest family in America and you can imagine how suprised Emily was when Olivia had told her “hi” in school that day. Of course there was no way she could afford the school fees but fortunately for her she got a scholarship and that was how she was able to attend one of the most biggest school in town and also had one of the richest kids as her best friend. But unfortunately for her, Olivia had to travel to the states immediately they finished their high school and just returned months ago.
“So tell me about this your new boss Em, is it the same handsome, hot, super-rich Mr Niguel always shown on TV’s and on magazines?”
Olivia asked staring at Emily with her shiny emerald eyes. She was such a great talker.
“Yes Olivia.”
Emily replied frustratedly.
“It’s the same, old, Mr Niguel.”
She added.
“Haaaa… This is great news Em, my baby has finally grown up.”
Olivia squealed happily, hugging Emily like she just won a game of lottery.
“This calls for a celebration girl.”
She declared.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Maybe some other time Olive, That was not the reason I invited you here.”
Emily muttered, trying to switch to the important topic.
“Oh, I almost forgot about that, so after deciding not to call for months why did you suddenly have to call out of the blues?”
Olivia asked making Emily roll her eyes.
Such a drama queen.
“I’ll be attending a business party with Mr Niguel this evening Olive and you know, I kinda don’t have what to wear.”
Emily finally dropped the bombshell.
“Oh my gosh, that’s bad news Emily.”
Olivia muttered, her eyes widening in shock and then smiled.
“And bad news have to be taken care of, let’s go shopping baby girl.”
She suddenly announced, standing up from her seat and grabbed her car keys while walking towards the door.
“You aren’t being serious right?”
Emily asked, staring at Olivia who didn’t look like she was joking at all.
“You know I’m damn serious Em.”
She replied and Emily couldn’t help but to sigh loudly.
What else was she expecting from her rich crazy best friend?
Emily was about standing up when a knock on the door halted her movements.
“Did you invite anyone else over?”
Olivia asked also halting on her steps.
“Nope, did you?”
Emily asked.
“You know I wouldn’t dare.”
She replied.
Having no other option, Emily slowly walked towards the door and upon opening it saw a delivery man with a big box in his hands.
“Are you Emily martins? I was asked to deliver this to you.”
The delivery man announced, giving her the big box in his hands which Emily carefully took.
“To me? By who?”
Emily asked, wondering who could have sent her the present.
“By Mr Niguel, please sign here miss.”
The delivery man replied and after Emily signed bade her goodbye and left.
Emily took the big box into her room and carefully placed the big box on her small bed and upon opening couldn’t help but to be awed at the beautiful sight that welcomed her.
It was an exquisite, black ball gown which was adorned with lots of crystal Stones making it shine brightly and so beautifully.
Emily was still in daze staring at the beautiful gown when a text message popped on her phone screen and it read, “Get ready before 7pm, I’ll pick you up, don’t keep me waiting.”
No one needed to tell her who it was before realizing it was none other than her new hot boss, Mr Niguel.
“New plan Olive, make me beautiful this night.”
She suddenly announced.
