Chapter 22: Chapter 22

+-+-+-+-++++--+-+++++-+++-+++-+--+-+--+-+-

I was busy up to the lunch break when I got the news that Mr Jensen has left the building and to attend the big event our shift is going to end soon!

He didn't say a word, he didn't call me, he didn't direct anything to Shawn.

Is this dangerous or I am just thinking too much as always?

I have no idea what's inside Mr Blake Jensen. Did he forget how to act like a human?

Anyways, as the shift ended I determine to meet Amelia so that she can help me out to find a suitable dress.

After yesterday's incident, she told me it was all her mistake to think that I could find a suitable date for me in that venue, and I at the same time made it clear to her that it wasn't her blunder.

My life has always been like this and it doesn't matter anymore because I have grown to tolerate everything to a certain matter.

Shawn made it clear to everyone that we should be present on time at the venue, wearing whatever good we have in our lives and doesn't say a word to Mr Jensen, not even a flow of wind could tell him anything.

Which made me even more stagnant to know what is going to happen in there?

Does Mr Jensen is secretly going to reveal that he is not a human?

Or he is an alien straight away from the planet mars?

Whatever it is?

The reality is that- this night is going to be very important for me and for Mr Jensen too.

I grabbed my bag and made my way to the elevator while avoiding everyone's glare on me, their eyes were too hard to recognize so I didn't give a damn about any outcome.

Amelia asked me to meet ahead of the New York City big mall that was situated in the centre of the society.

As I said this event is going to be the biggest in my life. All the employees will be going to be audacious from head to toe and I have to stand out against the whole crowd.

Because I know if I didn't? Mr Blake Jensen would find it against me and then he will bark at me with his lost temper about how I don't have any etiquette for big events, and I, Ashley Brooke is just a fool in the name of the employee on the Jensen Industries.

And I don't want to give up not yet! So I took a cab and reached the mall, I had my credit card with me, so for the first time in my life, I can get whatever I want instead of just lurking at it!

"So are you sure about this?" She raised one of her eyebrows when concern was written on her face.

Maybe she is anxious for me more than I was for myself.

Yes, my heart was thumping in my chest, yes, I was paranoid for my life, yes, I have been devastated! But maybe this is the way! This is the way to all the questions.

Time has come to change what was hidden inside me, "positively," I smiled at her while landing my foot inside the entry door.

New York City has its perks, it's bright in the daylight and even more shiny at the twilight.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the interior. I have never been here before, only saw it from a far distance because I knew I would never in my life be able to grab the opportunity to be inside it, to try all the clothes which only rich people wear. And now I am here to buy the perfect outfit for me!

I want to do a little happy dance, want to tell everyone that I, Ashely Brooke is not only going to be that girl who used to daydream about anything as her dreams are finally becoming true.

"Look, that store, all the rich people are buying their outfits from there, let's go!" She grabbed my hand and then we started walking ignoring all the eyes that were on us, they must be wondering what girls like us are doing in here with too assorted ordinary clothes.

Well, to be honest, the dress I was wearing already is in shame as this store was only occupied by the rich models.

I was lost in myself that I didn't realise when I got bumped into someone.

"What a bitch you are! Can't you see me?"

She was the blonde girl, and by the looks, she was giving me she must be a top model as she was covered in branded items from head to toe. A smirk was on her face, as she was proud of her existence as everything here is working because of her, as she was the goddess of the entire earth.

Goddess my foot!

She raised one of her eyebrows critically and eyed me from head to toe, "who are you? And what are you doing here?" The smirk plastered on her face even more, which made me grit my teeth in anger.

Was she trying to put me down ahead of everyone?

"I don't think we need to introduce ourselves," Amelia chimed in to calm my nerves so I can think what does she even want to do with us!

"Don't interrupt me you poor slag!" She bickerer at Amelia and I wanted to slap hard on her face at that time.

What a psychopath she is!

She thinks she owns the world just like Mr Jensen.

But before I could slap her hard her boyfriend chimes in," baby we are getting late!" He was a businessman and to gain even more attention she started whispering so closely to his ears that he almost kissed her plump lips inside the store.

That's a straightforward PDA!

Anyways, it's better that she decided to leave. otherwise, I could have even killed her for her behaviour towards us.

I pity that guy who is going to marry this devil in the name of a woman.

We reached the stack of clothes and started exploring soon, after trying everything, point to be noted- I only tried one outfit as that was too much to exhaust my soul in it.

My heart started pondering when I saw the perfect Red dress just like Louisa wore in me before you.

Oh my, tonight you are going to shine Brooke!

Damn! My inner voice was quirking too much as I tried that dress on my body, it fitted perfectly well. All the curves I had was on the frame.

Maybe this night, I could enjoy my life for the very first without any worry.

We packed the dress then bought all the belongings matching it until it was the time of evening. Amelia argued she would help me to get ready, so I was in her place like that time in the process of the whole makeover.

She straightens my hair so that they look neat and clean, cleaned my skin with whatever she had in the name of cosmetic products then applied everything to my eyes to make them more appealing. Whether it was a brush of eye-shadow, a coat of mascara!

Then she applied dark red lipstick on my full lips, making them even more vibrant.

As I saw the time. I realised it was already 7'o clock. Mr Steward is going to be here soon to pick me up.. So. I saw the image of my reflection to only realise maybe for the first time I thought I was looking gorgeous in my life.

This night is going to be great for sure.
