The Billionaire And His One Night Stand

Jill Malik P. O. V

Ximena and Flynn are total opposites of each other. While Ximena is caring and loving, Flynn is arrogant and rude. “If you need anything, I’ll be in my office.” I said to her as I shot a glare at Flynn before walking out of Ximena’s office. I still had tons of work to do. Ximena has a new eyeshadow palette that will be launched in two months and it still needed a name. Until now I can’t come up with a suitable name. The eyeshadow palette she will launch will have mostly dark colors and it’s supposed to radiate confidence.

While I was busy thinking and writing down possible name ideas, someone slowly opened my door. I looked up and saw it was Ximena. She looked much better now than she did in the morning. I guess the ‘talk’ with her brother went well.

“Hey.” she said as she walked towards my desk. “Can I ask you for a favor?”

I rose up an eyebrow. “Sure.” I said, putting my pencil down on my wooden desk.

“So, tonight it’s Kat Von D’s liquid lipstick launch and she invited me, sadly I can’t make it, because Blake ask me to go on a date with him, so would you please be kind enough to fill in my place?” she asked sweetly looking at me with puppy dog eyes.

I bit my under lip. I don’t like to attend launches hosted by Kat Von D, because it’s all so fancy and filled with celebrities and billionaires. It’s not my style at all.

“I-I don’t know, can’t you send Claire?”

Ximena’s eyes widened when I mentioned Claire’s name.

“Oh goodness, no, have you seen her? Her makeup is terrifying and horrible. No honey, no, please Jill, for once?” she pleaded.

I let out a heavy sigh. It’s not like I have a choice. “Just because you’re such a nice boss to me, where and when?”

Ximena’s eyes lit up. “Thank you, thank you so much! You’re a doll.” she squealed happily. “And bytheway I’m not only your boss. I’m your best friend.”

“Here.” she handed me a gold brown manila envelope. “This is the invitation card, you should bring this with you, the address and time is also written in it.”

I took the envelope and opened it. GoldBar, 389 Broome St, New York, NY 10013. 8:00 PM.

“Wow her launch will be held in a nightclub?” I asked surprised. The envelope felt so soft and fancy.

Ximena nodded her head. “Yes, but a really fancy one. I bet Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid will be there.”

“Dammit, now I have to look for a dress for tonight.” I mumbled putting the invitation card back in the envelope.

“Don’t worry, I will send my personal stylist to your apartment at six, he will bring some clothes and shoes for you.” Ximena said excitedly. “Thank you once again Jill.” Ximena walked around my desk and hugged me tightly. “Blake and I will love you forever, oh and did I tell you he will bring me to Paris tonight?”

I chuckled and shook my head. Despite how much I love Ximena, she gets way too spoiled by Blake. Who goes on a date all the way to Paris? Blake and Ximena of course.

…….

I let out a frustrated groan. I had to leave in an hour to Kat Von D’s launch party and I was still sitting in my peignoir in front of my Vanity table. Reina on the other hand was in heaven.

“Ah, sparkles, glitter… This is heaven!” Reina sighed dreamily as she hugged a red sparkly dress.

Chase, Ximena’s stylist, gave her a weird look. He came an hour ago with a bunch of clothes, shoes, and makeup. He asked me what I wanted to wear. I scanned the dresses and nothing was close to what I had in mind. They were all either too revealing, too sparkly or too short.

“Have you already made your choice?” Chase asked as he looked wearily around.

“Do you have any suggestions?” I asked him for the nth time.

He sighed heavily. “The black one perhaps?” he suggested. He suggested the black one three times already, but I already said no. The black one is a huge no.

“Goodness no, that dress looks hideous. It has so many feathers; people will think I’m a peacock.”

“The blue one is also—,”

“I made up my mind, I will wear Elie Saab.”

“That was my first suggestion!” Chase exclaimed, as he picked a black sparkly dress from my bed.

“Well Chase, It’s not that I have any other choice. The other dresses are just not my style.” I slipped on the dress and it fitted me like a glove. It was a sparkly black lace mermaid dress with a slit and a deep cleavage in the front. It hugged my hips firmly that I’m so afraid to sit down in case it would tear apart.

“Chase, it’s really tight around my hips.” I complained.

“Don’t worry; It will not tear apart if that’s what you’re afraid of.”

“It better not.”

“These dresses are supposed to be that tight. Now go sit down, I still need to do your hair and makeup.” He pulled my hair out of my ponytail and started to brush it out.

…….

“Stunning. Beautiful. Magnificent!” Chase hushed as he spun me around three times.

“Holy mama!” Reina squealed. “You’re going to take the spotlight from Kat Von D herself.”

I laughed. “I don’t think so, but thanks for the compliments.” I walked to the life size mirror in the corner of my room and couldn’t help but let out a gasp when I saw my reflection. My hair was half up and half down. Chase curled the bottom parts of my hair that hung flowy on my shoulders. My makeup was done stunning. He managed to make my short eyelashes twice longer than it actually is.

“Now it’s time for these shiny babies.” I turned around to see what Chase meant with ‘shiny babies.’

“Hell no!” I called out looking at a pair of sparkly five inch heels.

“You don’t have a choice.” Reina said in a matter of fact tone. “If you don’t wear it, you will trip on your dress.”

I rather trip on my dress barefooted than in a pair of five inch heels. “No, guys please. Let me wear flats, no one will see it anyways.”

“No, no, no, I will not let you wear that beautiful gown of Elie Saab with flats honey. I don’t want to degrade my friend like that.” Chase shook his head.

I glared at him.

“Time is not waiting for you Jill.” he said looking at his Rolex and tapping impatiently with his shoes on my carpet.

“Give me those goddamn shoes.”

Chase smirked and threw the shoes at me. He and Reina then went out of my room. I slip the shoes on, grabbed my purse, and walked to the living room were Chase and Reina were now waiting for me.

“You look like a model best friend!” Reina squealed excitedly when I entered the living room. “Go get yourself a man boo!”

“Reina I’m going to a launch party not a club.”

“I don’t care; go get yourself a sugar daddy! I heard Kat Von D has a lot of billionaire friends. Maybe you can hook up with one of them. That would be so hot.”

“Well that’s true, but honey I’m just going for the launch of her lipsticks not for her friends.”

“Ladies you can chitchat later, Jill you’re already five minutes late to the party!” Chase said, interrupting the conversation me and Reina had.

“It’s called fashionably late, Chase!” Reina said sassily.

“Well,” Chase replied in the same sassy tone, “I don’t want Jill to be fashionably late after I’ve spend two hours on her look. So Jill, are you ready?”

I rolled my eyes playfully at him. “Yes Chase, bye Reina.” I said before closing the door behind me.

When we were already in the elevator I remembered that I forgot my car keys on my nightstand. “Shit!” I looked at Chase. “I forgot my car keys.”

“Don’t worry, Ximena send her personal driver to pick you up and drop you off.”

“That’s really considerate of her.”

“Yes, she figured out it wouldn’t be safe if you would drive alone late at night.”

I love Ximena. She remembered that I didn’t like to drive late at night.

“Shall we?” Chase extended his hand to me and I took it. We walked together through the lobby, here and there women were looking viciously at me and men were staring at me agape.

“You’re not even at the party yet and you made the men here insane and the women angry.” Chase whispered chuckling in my ear.

“Oh shut up Chase, good thing you’re gay huh?”

He laughed softly. “Good thing I’m gay baby.”

When we came outside a white range rover was waiting for us.

“Hello Baxter, you sweet delicate thing.” Chase greeted the driver who was holding the door open for me.

“Hey Chase, nice to see you man!” Baxter said and his eyes shifted to me. “Good evening Miss Malik.”

“Good evening Baxter.” I replied smiling.

I stepped in the car and saw that Chase is not coming with me.

“Chase aren’t you coming?” I asked before Baxter closed the door.

“Honey no, I have a dinner date with my boyfriend, oh and bytheway if someone ask who your stylist was for tonight, tell them it’s Chase Capris. Also give them my card when they ask about me.”

I nodded my head and give him a thumb up before Baxter closed the door.

Everyone is going on dates and here I am going to a lipstick launch party.

……….

“Are you sure this is it?” I asked looking at Baxter with wide eyes.

“Yes Miss Malik, this is the GoldBar.”

I looked back outside. It was crowded with paparazzi’s. How am I going to get through that without tripping or being pushed? Suddenly I didn’t feel like going in anymore.

“I will escort you to the main entrance, don’t worry.” Baxter said when he saw the terrified look on my face.

I let out a breath of relief. Good, because I don’t think I would be able to walk in five inch heels through that crowd of paparazzi’s. I would trip and embarrass myself in front of them.

Baxter opened the door for me and that’s when I heard paparazzi shouting: “Is that Zoe Clayton?! Zoe!”

Baxter held me firmly on my waist as we work a way through the crowd. I held my head down due the flashes of the cameras. It was so annoying, now I realize what celebrities have to go through. “It’s not Zoe guys!” I heard someone yell. “If it’s not Zoe, who is she?”

“Wow she’s pretty!”

“That’s Ximena Vasilios personal driver.”

“Do you have your invitation card Miss?” Baxter asked as we were approaching the entrance. I nodded; I was holding it in my hand.

Suddenly Baxter let go of me. “I can’t go further than here, have a great night Miss Malik, and give me a call when you’re ready to go home.”

I nodded my head; Baxter had put in his number in my cell phone on our way here. I walked to the two security guards who were standing in front of the entrance. I showed them my invitation card; they nodded their heads and opened the door for me to enter.

The entire room was filled with women in designer dresses and men in suits. Music was playing softly as I tried to make a way through the crowd searching for Kat Von D. I have to admit, this woman has a really great party planner. The liquid lipsticks Kat Von D will launch today are mostly yellowish and gold-ish. This whole venue just adds more power to the liquid lipsticks.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

The GoldBar was entirely gold, except for the couches on the side that were black. There were huge golden chandeliers on the ceiling providing just enough light to see everyone.

“So who are you, stealing the spotlight from my own party.” a familiar voice said behind me. I turned around seeing Kat von d in an elegant black dress from her own clothing line.

“Good evening Kat, I’m Jill Malik, I work for Ximena Vasilios, sadly she can’t be here tonight.”

Kat raised her eyebrows. “I heard, she went to Paris with her boyfriend, are you her personal assistant?”

I shook my head. “No, I’m her copywriter.”

“Ah,” Kat said, “So you’re the little mastermind behind all the names of all her products.”

I laughed. “Well yes, I am.”

“Interesting, are you somehow related to Zayn Malik?”

I shook my head again. I got this question so many times. “No, not at all.”

“Oh Interesting, anyways you look stunning in Elie Saab latest masterpiece, I’m in completely awe.”

“Thank you Kat, so are you.” I replied smiling. “Is your dress already in stores?”

“No, It will be in the fashion show next week though, are you planning on buying it?”

I chuckled. “It’s beautiful, but I don’t think it’s my kind of style.”

“Mmh.” Kat murmured, “That’s true. Well I should welcome other guests. There’s a bar and there’s some dessert, speech and toast will start in fifteen minutes.” She gave me a small smile and walked away to greet other guests.
