Chapter 55_ A night of glamour 2
Kyle’s eyes rested immensely on Arya as she descended the stairs, she raised her head up and a small smile escaped her lips..
Mia smirked at Kyle’s statue like face, she was so happy to see the look on her brother’s face ever since Charlotte left she doubted if he had seen him this mesmerized by a lady before..
Mia cleared her throat to bring him out from whatever planet he travelled to..
Arya smiled she herself knew she was really pretty tonight no doubt about it..
Her hair was styled into wavy loosed coils and her silver heels which complimented her dress so well, her slender fair and smooth neck was adorned with a diamond necklace that glows whenever a ray of light falls on it..
“So big bro.. what do you think about Arya’s look? see? I didn’t need to put too much makeup on her face and look how radiating she is”
Arya blushed, Kyle’s gaze was making her uncomfortable as the seconds passed by..
She took a few steps closer to him “Umm Kyle can we talk?”
Kyle snapped out of his daze as soon as he heard her speak, he cleared his throat to regain his composure..
“One minute” he raised his phone back to his ear and mouthed a few words before hanging up..
“Arya.. you look amazing” Ray complimented and stood next to her..
Kyle returned his attention back to them, however, his eyes couldn’t stop going back to Arya, he took in a deep breath and forced out some words..
“We should get going” Kyle murmured and walked away first..
Mia shook her head slowly “Kyle is unbelievable! was it that hard to compliment a lady?”
Ray took Arya’s hand in his with a wide grin, he was the most elated about this party..
“Don’t worry Arya.. I can escort you”
Arya and Mia let out a hearty chuckle at Ray’s words, so considerate, unlike his father..

Meanwhile..
Bryan sighed for the umpteenth time, he was currently waiting for Chloe to get dressed, he wondered what was taking them so long..
Ladies and their little problems, he groaned at the end and peeped at his wrist watch..
Soon after the ladies who he assigned to help Chloe with her outfit and makeup stepped out..
“We’re done Mr Alexander.. we hope you like our services, we’ll take our leave now” The blonde lady among them spoke with a small bow which Bryan nodded to..
He watched them leave and turned back to the closed doors with a small frown..
He rose up to his feet and walked to the dressing room and knocked once before he stepped into the room..
Chloe snapped her gaze to the door and was a bit startled to see Bryan..
Bryan took a long look at her, she was putting on a red deep cut, long silk gown with a side slit all the way to her thigh..
Her hair was tied into a messy bun with a few strands of hair falling on her face..Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“So how do I look Mr Alexander?”
Bryan pulled his gaze away from her “Not as bad as I imagined” He murmured and stepped out of the dressing room..
Chloe’s lips parted in disbelief, how mean of him to say such a thing!
“As if he’s good looking! hmph!”

Kyle noticed Arya’s uneasiness as soon as the car came to a halt in front of the event venue..
He couldn’t deny that she was extremely attractive tonight, he could tell what was going through her mind at the moment..
“Relax..”
Arya turned to him when she thought she heard him speak, it was almost like a whisper..
The door of the black Rolls Royce was opened by a guard and Kyle stepped out and stretched forth his hand for Arya to take..
Arya smiled at his kind gesture and accepted his hand, she stepped out of the car and almost immediately her eyes were almost blinded by the flashing lights of the various cameras..
Of course! how could she forget about them? they were always present in the elites gathering..
Arya locked her hands into Kyle’s bent elbow, she took Ray’s hand and the family of three walked in with their heads held high..
The hall was transformed into a breathtaking elegant space meticulously decorated for a truly unforgettable event.
The walls were adorned with intricate golden molding that shimmered in the soft light, while the high ceiling was draped with flowing silken fabrics in a rich, jewel-toned hue.
Crystal chandeliers suspended from the ceiling casted a kaleidoscope of sparkling lights dancing across the room like diamonds.
The floor was polished to a high sheen which gleamed like a mirror, reflecting the vibrant colors and radiant atmosphere.
As soon as they stepped into the room a loud gasp and murmurs erupted from the guest..
Most of the guests attention were focused on Arya who was putting on the legendary dress every lady has been eyeing ever since it was launched..
Some of the ladies present in the room looked at her in admiration while others looked at her in envy, what relationship does she share with Mr Anderson?
“Who is she?”
“She’s so pretty..”
“I was expecting Vanessa to come in with Mr Anderson, so who is she?”
Arya heard several questions going about and couldn’t help but worry..
“Relax.. I’m here with you”
Kyle’s assuring tone came again which helped to ease her tension a bit..
As soon as Chloe saw Arya stepped into the hall she spat out the wine she just sipped..
A thin line settled on Bryan’s forehead after he witnessed Chloe’s uncivilized behavior..
“What is the meaning of that? are you trying to embarrass me?”
Chloe pointed her finger to Arya’s direction and leaned forward to Bryan..
“Mr Anderson is here and look, that dress Arya is putting on costs over thirty million”
Bryan’s face remained indifferent as she rambled on and on about Arya’s dress..
“You’re driving me nuts” Bryan murmured, he stood up and left his seat..
Meanwhile…
Vanessa’s nails dug into her skin the moment she sighted Arya putting on the million dollar dress, she couldn’t believe that Kyle would bring Arya to a public event like this..
Her lips curled up when she recalled the plan she made with Lora today after receiving a short nod from Lora who was a few distance away her.
Vanessa stood up from her seat with a glass of red wine..
She walked elegantly towards Arya and Kyle with a fake smile plastered on her face..
Her smile widened even more when she saw Mr Wales exchanging handshake with Kyle..
As soon as Ray spotted her approaching his face fell, he wondered why she was here at such a happy occasion like this..
“Wow Kyle.. I’m so happy for you”
Kyle gave her a short nod and was about to leave with Arya and Ray when Vanessa called out to him once more..
“I know how hard this must be for you Kyle.. not everyone could be as generous as you are.. I mean it takes such a hard decision bringing a nanny as your date to such a glamorous event”
Mr Wales was surprised by what he just heard, he stared briefly at Arya who looked familiar to him, how could Kyle Anderson bring a nanny as a date?
“A nanny?”
Ray’s brows furrowed in anger, how dare she address Arya as a nanny in front of everyone?
“She’s not a nanny Vanessa! she’s my mummy do you get that?!” …
Vanessa was taken aback by the tone he used on her.. she looked around her to be ensured that no one heard a word he said..
“Did they ever get married?” Vanessa said with a slanted grin directed at Ray..
“Vanessa what is the meaning of this?!” Kyle asked in a low growl..
Vanessa flashed him a smile “I’m so sorry Kyle.. it slipped out of my tongue, I really didn’t mean it that way..”
Arya’s hands fisted by her sides, she took in a deep breath and turned to Kyle..
“Don’t bother Kyle.. Vanessa is just concerned that’s all.. why don’t you have a brief chat with Mr Wales in the meantime Vanessa will keep me company”
Kyle stared briefly at her and left with Mr Wales, immediately he was gone Arya’s smile vanished completely..
“Why exactly are you pained Vanessa?”
Vanessa’s lips curled upwards, she noticed a lot of people were staring at them and since Kyle was nowhere in sight this was the right opportunity to strike..
“I didn’t think that Kyle could bring you to a public place or spend a fortune to get you a dress”
Arya narrowed her eyes at Vanessa, Kyle got her the dress?
“Doesn’t that say something? I’ll give you a very good advice Vanessa, stay away from me, Kyle, and Ray get yourself a man that way you’ll stop being obsessed with my husband”..
Ray stuck out his stuck out his tongue at Vanessa, he loved the reply Arya gave to her..
“Claiming someone else’s family as yours? come on you’re better than that”
Arya’s eyes trailed off to Kyle’s direction, she caught him staring at her before he turned his gaze back to Mr Wales..
“I’ll give another chance Arya leave here and save yourself from the huge embarrassment that might befall you tonight..” Vanessa warned in a stern tone, something about this lady makes her blood boil..
“Your little threats don’t scare me.. I can’t wait to see who the embarrassed one will be here tonight.. let’s just sit and watch” Arya added with a smile..
She walked away from Vanessa, she spotted Mia who was waving to her and she headed to the table reserved specifically for the Anderson’s..
Ray left Arya’s side and jumped on his grandmother’s laps..
“What are you doing here?” A low growl emerged from the further end of the table, his intense gaze rested on Arya who was just about to take a seat..
