The Shark Mafia Boss

Chapter 7 - The Gala

Olivia POV

I wake up with my phone ringing “fuck me sideways” – I whisper grabbing my phone with my eyes still

closed.

“This better be a life or death situation” – I moan answering the phone thinking it will be either Anna or

John as they are the only ones that would call me on a Saturday morning.

“Olivia? Sorry, did I wake you up?” – I hear Lucas’s voice on the other side and I blink twice to wake

myself up.

Shit I stiff up and sit on the bed “Lucas, Hi, I’m sorry for what I said, Can I help you with something?”

“I just got an e-mail from the headmaster and from the head of the department that they expect us both

at the Gala tonight”

“I’m sorry, I think I heard you wrong, they want ME at the gala?”

“Yes” he says “I am sorry Liv”

“B-but I don’t have anything to wear to a Gala” – I sight

“I’ll send you my stylist to help you get something”

“Oh, no that’s not necessary” – I say in a shy tone of voice

“Please Liv, let me do this for you, you’re going to have to go to a Gala tonight because of me, so

please let me give you a dress” – he says with hope on his voice

“In one condition” – I reply

“Name it”

“I will pay you back every month, I will give you some money towards the dress, let’s say it is a loan”

“But I really don’t mind”

“It is the only way I am accepting your help”

“Fine, meet Tasha at Versace on the 5th avenue in one hour” – he says with a cheerful voice.

“I can’t make it in one hour, can it be in 2? I need a shower and takes me some time to get to

Manhattan”

“Ok he says, I will pick you up later at 8, be ready” - and with that he hangs up

“Have a good day to you too, you ass” – I moan looking at my phone.

I get up looking at the time 12:25 – I could’ve slept all day, but no, my boss decided that I had to go to

the fucking gala meet people I will never see again and look pretty, don’t get me wrong, I am excited for Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

the dress, I never owned a Versace before. Scratch that, I’ve never been inside Versace before.

I walk into the bathroom and turn on the shower while brushing my teeth, when I finish I get in the

shower and use my body scrub from Lush, it smells amazing, after that I wash my hair and my body

singing in the shower to some Ed Sheeran.

When I finish I wrap a towel around my hair and another one around my body. I apply my Ordinary face

treatments and then I apply my body lotion. Luckily I am not a hairy person so I shaved my legs a

couple of days before not needing to do it again.

I walk into my room grabbing a pair of thongs that were in the laundry basket and a lace bra, they

matched perfectly.

I put on a pair of skinny jeans and a light pink shirt buttoning it leaving a couple of buttons opened.

I put a pair of stilettos on and walk back to the bathroom brushing my hair back into a long ponytail. I

don’t bother with makeup as I will have to wear some later, I spray my coconut body spray and I grab

my purse leaving the flat running to the subway.

The ride on the subway is peaceful and I think about Raphael. I shake my head trying to avoid thinking

of him. I look at my phone and I have 15 min to get there and not be late.

I text my mother wishing her a good day saying I would call her later on so we can talk a little, I miss

my parents.

I get out the subway and walk towards Versace, I stop at the door and a “wow” forms in my mouth.

I see someone waving at me, she has long blonde hair and mesmerising brown eyes, she’s got an

amazing body and I wish I was tall and beautiful like her.

“Hello, you must be Olivia”

“Hi” – I smile – “you must be Tasha” – I give her my hand to shake and she shakes her head and hugs

me taking me by surprise

“Now I see why Lucas asked me to help, you are gorgeous and you have a stunning body, we need to

find something to make those curves and eyes pop” – she says making me blush

“Where do we start?”

“Go and have a look around and grab all the dresses you want to try on and meet me in 15 min here to

try them on”. She says turning her heels and looking over for dresses talking to the shop assistant.

I walk towards a green jungle print long dress and my eyes pop. I look at the price and I let a gasp

come out, almost 5.000 dollars. So I walk away day dreaming about that dress.

I grab a couple of the cheapest dressed I could find, not really liking them as much as I likes that jungle

print one.

I walk towards Tasha and she sights, shaking her head to my options.

“Girl, we need something better, we need something like that” and her eyes drift towards my beloved

dress pointing

“We need that one on a size 16” she says to the assistant that frowns.

“I don’t know if I have it on a size 16” – she says

“Go and have a look then” – Tasha replies.

I start to feel uncomfortable and self-conscious about my body shape, I am not skinny like the woman

that shop here that are sizes 2. I look at the floor biting my lips allowing all of my insecurities come to

surface.

The assistant brings the dress and my eyes shine looking at it

“Go on, go try it on” – Tasha smacks my ass making me jump a little.

I smile and walk into the changing room.

I get the dress on me and I look in the mirror at the same time that Tasha opens the door passing me a

pair of Gold Louboutin’s and a Gold Versace clutch.

I look at myself in the mirror and I look like 1 million bucks, my heart skips a beat of how elegant and

sexy I looked.

“Girl you are a Greek Goddess dressed like that, that dress makes your body look so hot”

I smile “Too bad I can’t afford it”

“Oh no, you are getting this dress, this won’t even make a dent into Lucas’s account, trust me” – she

says smirking.

“But I’ll have to pay him back and I will never have the money to pay him this amount”

“He will never accept that money from you, he’s head over heels for you” – she says

“No, but he is my boss, that would be really bad” – I say to her.

“Are you telling me you don’t find that peace of ass good looking?”

Off course he was, but nothing compared to Raphael my head exploded.

“He is good looking, but still my boss”

“Well, just shush and let’s go have your hair and makeup done”

“I’m sorry what? I can do that myself”

“Oh no no no”

She drags me across the street into a town car and we head to a spa.

When we walk in we are greeted by a tall and elegant woman that gives us a couple of dressing robes

and flip flops.

“First stop, massages” – Tasha says

I smile and walk into the massage room and let myself relax.

My body goes into a frenzy feeling the soft hands of the masseuse, my mind drifts to Raphael, thinking

how would be nice to be him touching me, I start to feel my pussy getting wet, then my head flies to

Lucas. Both of them kissing me, both of them licking me. Oh God. I stop myself before I lose the plot.

When the massage finishes I go to the hairdresser, my hair is put on a high tight ponytail. The make-up

artist does my make-up soft, nude, emphasizing my plump lips. The Nail artist decides for a French

manicure, soft and classic.

When I finish I walk into a dressing room where Tasha was expecting me with a massive smile

“You look stunning, but this dress is going to put everyone at your feet”

I smile

“Do you think Lucas is going to like?” – Why the fuck am I even thinking like that? He is your boss – I

think to myself.

“Oh, he’s going to freak, I wish I was there to see his face”

As Tasha says that I receive a text message, I grab my iPhone to see it was Lucas

“I’ll be picking you up from the spa, can’t wait to see you”

I reply “same here ;)”

I put the dress on, and the shoes and I feel like I can conquer the world.

I look at the time on my phone and is 7:56, I give Tasha a hug and walk towards the door to see an

impressive limo with a really good looking Lucas waiting for me.

When he sees me his eyes shine and he holds my hand helping me inside the Limo

“You look absolutely divine”

“You don’t look too bad yourself” – I put my tongue out and wink

We drive in silence, I can feel the discomfort

“Lucas”

“Yeah?” – He looks at me as if I electrocuted him

“I’m sorry” – I say

“For what?”

“For saying no so fast when you asked me to go on a date with you”

“I understand your reasons, but I’ve liked you for a long time, and I would really like to take you out on

one date”

“Can I think about it?” – I say, after the conversation with Tasha I realise I could give him a shot, Anna

would freak if she knew I was considering, she keeps telling me to accept and to enjoy it, even if it just

sex, because it’s been a while for me.

He smiles and nods his head.

We arrive and the door is opened by the driver, Lucas gets out giving me his hand to help me get out.

All eyes fall on us.

“I guess we look good together” – I say into his ear posing for a photo.

“I guess we do” – He replies giving me a peck on my face.

I feel uncomfortable, as if someone is looking at me, as if someone was throwing daggers in my back, I

turn my head back and I see him, all in black and grey, covering his tattoos. Those blue eyes piercing

my soul, Lucas notices me looking back and follows my eyes stopping on Mr Lockwood himself.

Lucas wraps his arm around my waist and I swear I saw Raphael close his hands trying to control

himself.
