Chapter 157 - The Party
With her reminder, he wore the necklace around her neck in a fast but gentle manner. He leaned forward feeling at loss that she took her smile away and placed a feathery soft kiss on the back of her neck before stepping away.
"I will wait for you outside," he told her and left the walk-in closet.
Rose looked back at the door of the closet and sighed. The way he was acting towards her was just too alluring and it prevented her from guarding her heart against him. She was not sure that when he becomes king, he won't kill her.
Trusting him will mean she will let her guard down and she will not be warned before he puts a bullet in her head when he gets what he wants from her.
Just like he told her before he left her closet, he was waiting for her in front of her house and as soon as she stepped out of the building, he was stood beside her and offered her his hand. She looked around. Anna had left long ago and the place was brightly lit despite the time thanks to the very bright lighting system they had in the mansion.
He was wearing a mask that did a good job of covering the upper half of his face. It looked identical to the black mask that she held to cover her face when she gets to the venue. He wore a custom made suit which made him look really handsome and attractive. The way he looked, he will do a good job of getting the attention of every single pair of eyes in the venue.
She was not particularly excited about the whole and she was already missing her bed when she has not left home yet. She wanted to have a silent night unnoticed if possible at the party but it seems she won't be able to enjoy any of that with the excessively handsome male god beside her.
When she was seated comfortably in the black limousine he brought to pick her up in, she yawned. "I will love to return back home as soon as I get my award," she told Liam tiredly. It was best they leave the party early to prevent too many eyes feasting on the man she wanted all to herself although that was a fact she will almost forever refuse to accept.
"Sure," he agreed immediately considering how tired she looked. "You should get used to parties like this because you are going to be attending them a lot when you become the Queen and even my wife before then," he told her jovially.
"I think it is easier to be the host than the guest," she told him stubbornly unwilling to accept his advice.
"If you say so," Liam agreed with an obvious hint of sarcasm.
She frowned at that although she found it very jovial of him to say something like that the way he did.
Her entrance was not very grand since Rose liked things to be quiet and a show off will definitely cause people to get curious about the man holding her hand. He covered half of his face but that did not work at hiding the very handsome features under the mask and his eyes were open to everyone who looks at him. She really just wanted to stay at a corner of the room until she gets called to accept the award she won as the most creative student in the school.
She collected a lot of other academic awards only yesterday and here she was about to collect another. From what she heard, the award was arranged by her club members. From what they said, she was the most accomplished fashion designer among all her predecessors.
They said she made the world notice the club although she did not believe that because she knew about the club in the school even before she joined the school. It was said that a lot of young designers in high school try their best to attend the school despite how expensive the tuition fee was so they could participate in the competition so they could get noticed in the fashion world.
Most of the time, they did not have to win the competition in order for them to get noticed. They just had to do their best and show their talents in the designs they made. That way even if they don't win the competitions they might get scouted. A lot of models also started their career from the show, their beauty and talent got noticed and it made them get popular.
Anna's social media has a lot of followers just because of her participation in the competition as her model. She was glad she was going to get awarded for her talent. She was not too humble to say that she did not deserve it because she knew she was good. She was talented and with adequate hard work, she will definitely become the best and unrivaled in the fashion world.
She wanted that to happen since she will be making a name for herself. She spoke with Carl about starting her own brand and he was excited about it. If she could make that happen, she will become just the fashion designer she dreams of being.
"What if I want to start my own brand?" she leaned closer to Liam and asked so he could hear her above the music in the back ground.
"I will support you totally. I will invest in anything you want me to," he simply replied.
She found his answer unexpected although she expected him to agree but not in the cheesy manner he just did. "Ohh . . ." she said looking away from him at the crowd. They just arrived and the party was already almost over.
Everyone tried their best to look good in the clothes they wore although some looked really uncomfortable in the clothes that they wore probably just for the attention the cost of expensive cloth will bring to them. Most people might not believe it is profitable for her to think this way as a fashion designer but she totally believed that what mattered most when designing a cloth or even choosing a cloth to wear was the comfort whoever wears the cloth will enjoy when wearing it.
It will simply be a punishment for someone to wear something he or she was totally uncomfortable in. It will reduce the fun of the occasion the person was attending because all of the person's attention will be on adjusting the cloth or the discomfort he or she was enduring in the cloth.
"Hi," Noah called out waving her with a friendly smile on her pretty face walking towards them.. She paused on her track when she noticed Liam standing beside Rose.
