Chapter 76

Every thing was in place for tonight’s introductory event.

The

guess list had been finalized with majority of those invited confirming their attendance. It came as no surprise that everyone had shown eagerness to attend. the news itself had been to talk for days and I could only imagine that everyone was more than intrigued and thrilled to welcome Scott to the circle.

it was mostly due to the fact that Scott had really invested in local businesses and he’s aimed target was usually foreign and more established companies. naturally that did makes sense especially for a good businessman. everyone knew that it was better too invest in a booming business then one that was just getting back to it.

that had been the very reason that had everyone’s tongues wagging about the news. who could fault them? I could still recall how surprised I was when Lucy had told me about this.

I had stopped by at the venue earlier and was quite pleased with how everything had turned out. the decor was far beyond what I had been expecting and I was quite pleased with how it had turned. out. The colour scheme that I settled on had been a matte black and royal blue. The two colours. contrasted perfectly well and added a little edge to the over all look.

The round tables had been placed spaciously in an orderly manner when black table covers were placed over. Plates and cutlery were all set and blue napkins were tucked neatly beneath each plate. It was all perfect and ready with an hour to spare before the even began.

I rushed back home to get myself ready as the host to the event I couldn’t be late by any means and not even fasterly late would do. all of the companies investors amongst the board of directors and important figures would be in attendance and everything has to be perfect.

after hopping into the steamy shower I had scrubbed every part of my b*dy and leather up with shampoo for it by conditioner and then a quick hair treatment which I had rinsed of before getting out of the shower. I wrapped a bath towel around my b*dy and swooped my hair up in to a smaller one to dry a little bit.

The sparkling beaded black dress that I had picked out for tonight was beautiful. It was not dramatic by any means. The length of it was just above my knee but the fit had been perfect. I dried

my b*dy and threw on matching underwear before I sl*pped the dress on and zipped it up thanks to the zipper fitted on the side of the dress rather than the back.

off

The dress had fit me like a second skin and hugged my b*dy perfectly. The n*eckline was square one which showed a little bit of cleavage but also gave the illusion of a bit more fuller chest but it was nothing inappropriate just a dress well fitted.

I dried my hair thoroughly before going in with a curler and pinning it tightly to set in place whilst I did my make up. I did a warm smokey eye and went with a brownish red l*p shade and just the perfect amount of bronzer over my make up to give my bone structure some added definition.
