Chapter 13: Chapter 13
Adrianna POV.
I had not moved any inch from where I was sitting. I looked and saw that it was Ivy.
"Why were you running? Do you know I thought that we were under attack," I told her and she chuckled.
"I am sorry if you were in an action mood," she said and I glared at her.
"We need to start ready right now," she said and I raised my eyebrows at her.
"We still have time," I complained.
"Time? We still have time, you say?" She asked angrily and I did not see what was making her angry. I know that she is eager to go to the party but not at the point to get angry about it. Therefore, I nodded my head since I did not know what to say.
"For goodness sake Adrianna be serious," she yelled and I glared at her. "Look what time it is."
When she said that, I told her my phone since I had already removed my wristwatch.
"What! How?" To say that I am shocked is really an understatement. It is 6:30 and we are supposed to be there by eight. And the drive is one hour. Therefore that means that we only got thirty minutes to prepare ourselves. Now I understand why she is so furious but at the same time I can't cause even if she has lost track of time.
"I don't know. Come on, let us get ready quickly before Victoria starts blowing up our phones," she said.
"Ooh. Let me get a shower. You will be doing my makeup," she said and left the room without even waiting for me to answer her. She is really a spoiled brat.
I walked into my closet and took out the outfit which I had bought. It was an off-shoulder dress, black at the top, white at the bottom and some of the bright colours ( red, pink, indigo, blue, purple) between the white and black. It was so between. I picked black lingerie and heels and a white purse. After placing what I needed on the bed, I walked into the bathroom. Honestly, I don't care whether we get late. They say better late than never for a reason. Since I did not want to make Ivy angrier than she is, I hastened. After a few minutes, I was done with the shower and tied a towel around my body to cover myself.
Ivy was already waiting for me at the makeup room. I walked towards her and picked all the necessary things I needed. She doesn't like a lot of makeup on her face. I did my magic on her face and also her hair. The hairstyle suited the dress she was wearing.
"Now leave. I also have to do my makeup," I told her and she showed me her tongue before leaving.
Since the dress that I was wearing had bright colours, I knew that I had to apply something dark. After I had done with my face, I curled my front hair a little and straightened the rest. When I was done with that, I wore the dress and heels. I looked so sexy. I decided to take a picture of myself before going. After that, I walked out of the room and walked downstairs. I saw Ivy already waiting for me. When we walked out of the penthouse we saw some of the Scott's men and sadly it happened that the Scott's had sent escorts and some cars. They have been waiting for us since six and I really feel bad for them.
"I am sorry but I do not know you so, we will drive our own cars," I told the one who was in charge.
"But ma'am. Sir said that all the cars should be the same and that is why he is sending his men to go for the guests," he explained and from the look on his face, I know that he was hoping that he could convince me otherwise. That made me chuckle internally but Ivy let hers out. I know that she knew that there was no way I was going to follow what they were saying.
"Again, I am really sorry but I won't and I'm sure you don't want to end up fighting me so be a good guard and just follow us behind," I said as I walked towards my white Lamborghini. I choose this just to show the Scots' that I don't follow orders. I think all cars will be black since all the cars his men were with were all black.
"Something is definitely fishy. Why would they send people to pick the guests? I wonder what they are really planning," I said.
"I honestly don't know but the good thing is that I was able to hack into their systems. I have made sure that my computer will notify me when something is about to happen," she said and I nodded my head.
Yes, she does that a lot. I don't know how but they always inform her. I knew that she gave them instructions.
"Did you carry your weapons?" I asked.
"Yes, I did," she said and I felt relieved.
I made sure to drive like a mad person. It was already eight and we still had a distance to cover.
"Why hasn't Victor called us yet? He hates lateness," I said and she smirked. I knew that she had something to do with that for sure.
"That bitch thinks that he can control us but nope. I am the best hacker," she said.
"What did you do?" I asked.
"Hacked into his phone, blocked our contacts and deleted them," she said.
"We both know that he can still get them from the others," I told her cause I did not understand why she was so happy about that.
"Who said that I didn't figure that out?" She said with a chuckle and I shifted my gaze to her.
"Tell me, What did you do," I said.
"Come on, cheetah. I sent a virus to their phones making all of them crash," she said while laughing.
She is really a lunatic when it comes to technology. What she did left me with no words to utter.
"Good that you know you should shut up," she said.
"Don't you dare," I said and turned on the music, making it loud enough.
"What the heck?" She asked and I rolled my eyes.
I drove twice the speed limit. When I looked at the side mirror, I saw that Scott's men were having a hard time driving at my pace and I really couldn't blame them. With the speed, we arrived within thirty minutes instead of an hour. It was already 8:30 and I could tell that most people had already arrived. I won't be shocked if we are the last to arrive.
I could tell the guards were shocked when they saw our car.
"I am sorry ma'am but it seems you are in the wrong place," he said instead of opening the gate.
"Who do you think you are to tell me? I am in the right place," I said as I pulled the window.
I saw that the men who were sent to come for us had arrived and were behind us. The guard walked away from me and went to them. They were talking and after a while, he came back.
"Sorry about that, you are really in the right place," he said with a smile on his face.
"Just open the gate already," Ivy shouted at him and he looked shocked. I rolled my eyes at his stupidity.
"Just open the fuxking door," I sneered when I saw that he had not yet left to go and do what he was told. He quickly walked away and opened it.
The mansion was so beautiful. I could say that I am in love with it but I knew better than doing that. We parked the car and we walked towards the front door. The guards who were stationed there opened the doors and we walked in. All the murmurs seemed to fade away the moment we walked in. I could see men looking at us hungrily, some women with adoration while others with hate. We smirked at that. From their faces, we knew that they had all heard it and I internally rolled my eyes. We spotted Victor and we walked in his way.
"Staring is rude, idiots," I said, making sure everyone heard it. Some men groaned because of the word idiots while others snickered. Good to know that they find it funny.
"Why were both of you late?" He asked as soon as we got where he was. He was talking to some men who I recognized as businessmen and still part of the mafia but they were not leaders.
"Business," Ivy and I said it in a cold voice, making him sigh because he knew that he wouldn't be able to fight with us.
I looked around and came to the conclusion that all the people present were in the underworld. I felt some eyes staring at me therefore I scanned the room until they landed on green eyes and I immediately recognized who it was.
"Adrianna!" I heard someone calling me.
"What!" I snapped as I looked back only to find Victor and his friends staring at me and I knew that Victor was the one calling me.
"Don't be rude. Greet them," he said and Ivy rolled her eyes.
"Oops. I am sorry, please forgive me for my lack of concentration," I said to the men.
"It is alright gorgeous," one of them said with a wink.
"But I am not in the mood for chit chats with you so if you may excuse me, I need a drink," I said and left them.
They were not pleased at my answer because they glared at me.
"Adrianna!" Victor called out but I still walked away.
Who does he think he is to control us!
