Love At Last

Chapter 47

Shopping spree

Cayden

“… you might say I was almost fucked” here I was giving Lily hidden appreciation for deciding to come to New York with me even after he had vehemently said that she wasn’t going to come. I considered a lot of things I would admit, I had even considered calling any of my flings in New York to accompany me to the party, having a tag along and showing the clients at the part that I had an eye staggering second wheel in a partner at the diner was very important.

But I still jog my mind, as to why Lily would change her mind and come to New York with me, risking the competition and her shop for this. But I was wise enough to not dig any further, I felt I had known just about enough of it.

“I know you’re not one for saying thank you but I’ll say you’re welcome regardless… for the sake of my peace of mind” our eyes meet and rather than break the link, we both smile at each other and he lets out a little carbon dioxide.

“Okay so back to business…” I dropped my cutlery and readjust myself on the chair.

“Okay…” she pays attention.

“So the party is going to be held at a venue not too far from this hotel so we shouldn’t be worried about being late, it’s the residence of one of the men that will be there. It’s something they usually do everything year to act up and of course discuss new partnerships and deals”

“Okay I’m following…” she nods in reassurance and then I continues

“It’s a party that’s going to be held in two phases, more or less like two parties in one. The first will be a dinner and the second will be a ball, both of which will of course hold at the same venue but probably in different locations” I pause to sip a little portion of water and then continues “Now this is the most important aspect, as you ofcourse know we will be attendants of both parties and I must or should I say we must impress those prospective investors, especially the ones my company is targeting. I have to do this or else I will be on the verge of getting fired and clearing my desk at the company”

“I very much understand the situation, Cayden, that’s why I’m here. I will do my utmost best to help you” she smiles lightly and then I arrive at a topic in which she had unfortunately faulted.

“I’m glad you do, Lily. Now like every party there is a dress code and elegance is at the core of its inspiration, we especially need to look the part, do you understand?” Cayden pauses for my response.

“… ” She didn’t say anything and I immediately smelled a rat, something was not right.

“Did you buy the dresses I asked you to right, Lily?” Lily does not still respond and this time I get really agitated.

“Lily!” I blurt out

“Look I’m sorry, I thought I could still wear the dress you got for me for your dinner dates rather than waste money getting another one” She mutters with a now flushed face and baby eyes.

“Those were dates Lily! Anyone can wear just about anything to a dinner date and it would still go smoothly. This is a party! There was a reason I gave you my card and specifically told you to get befitting dresses” she falls back to her silence again and but this time I do not hesitate, I pick up from here I had stopped.

“Please tell me you brought something that’s at least half befitting for a dinner in that small box of yours?” I ask in faded hopeNôvelDrama.Org © content.

“I don’t…” and before she could say any more, I rose from where I was seated and made for her cartoon brown box that she had left on the bed after arranging some of her things earlier on while I was in the shower.

“You know I wondered why you…” and there it was. One of her most priced body possessions was laying pretty on the shelves of clothes she had staked inside my box. I was staring down at Lily thongs. OMG! Did I touch it?

“Oh… I… I ummm, I didn’t know that was there” the words stammer out of my mouth and as soon as Lily spots what had halted my rampage, she leaps like a fleeing frog and whisks her box from my grip. Her face immediately turns pink and my mind scampers for what to do to save this awkward situation.

“You should try to keep your private stuff properly next time” she tried to respond but it was obvious the embarrassment was quite overwhelming for her.

“Yunno what, let me go get you some dresses from the boutique, we still have a few hours so I can get a few things for you before the time for the party reaches” I compose myself and put on a white polo and black Louis Vuitton shorts, carry my car and bolt out of the hotel room.

I signal the hotel attendant who I recognized from earlier and throw him my car keys “Hey! Catch” and to my satisfaction, he catches the key and speeds off to go get my car. He returns with the car parked at the entrance of the hotel with its engine running.

I know a number of luxurious boutiques around due to my numerous shopping sprees with the ladies I had been with, so I drove to one a few blocks away, got inside the store with a mental image of Lily’s voluptuous shape and got her a few dresses. If she were here I would have probably persuaded her to get more but I was going to do with the basic lady dress code knowledge I had.

I arrive back at the hotel about an hour later and my trusted hotel attendant is on standby to assist me with my baby. Yes I called my Gwagon my baby. It was a customized model that I had fitted to my taste and satisfaction and it was one of the few things I had that I wished I could travel with wherever I went around the world.

I opened the room door and became enchanted by the goddess I was gazing at now… Lily.
