35–Bingo

Ashley Walters pov

I was out in the daylight after such a long time. However, I was expecting a uniformed chauffeur not Justin to drive us to the mall.

During the drive, I kept looking outside the window instead of giving company to the hot driver sitting beside me.

Justin took me to all the branded shops where I started trying different skirts and tops. The salesgirl there was too helpful and too jolly. There was just one problem. The poor thing was squinted. While she was talking to me her eyes had been on Justin the entire time.

She kept suggesting me cocktail dresses too.

“Who wears a cocktail dress at home?” I tried to argue with the girl.

“You will when you will attend some official dinner or party,” Justin said casually going through dresses hanging on a railing.

“Excuse me?” I turned before going inside the trial room, “What kind of official dinner?”

“The ones where you will accompany me.” He said indifferently and started pulling a few gowns out of the pile.

“Here. Try these as well!” He did not let me think much about what he said earlier. Of course, why he would take me with him on those dinners?

I was not presentable enough. I did not know how to carry a decent conversation with an executive.

The task that was supposed to take just thirty minutes took hours. I kept coming out of the trial room wearing different dresses to get the approval of his highness. Justin kept rejecting most of the outfits and kept asking the girl to show something new. By now, the shop owner who was a lady and knew Justin personally was also standing there.

My body tensed initially because I still did not want to tell anyone, especially from his close circle that what was my relationship with him. I was still scared of Electra Deluca.

Yet, the owner woman seemed too sweet and did not drill either of us with her prying questions.

When it was time to pay, Justin handed over his card to the owner and eyed me with concern, “Hungry?”

By now my face must have looked tired. Spending a few nights at my job transformed me into a night owl. I could stay awake at night and my days made me act like a sluggish bum.

“I am not hungry.” I leaned my head on his shoulder, “I am sleepy.”

I felt his hand on my head tussling my hair.

“See? That’s the reason I asked you to take off last night. Well, I don’t think it should take much time as we will head to buy you some shoes and…”

I lifted my face and made a pout, “And?”

“Lingerie!”

“Oh?” I cocked up a brow.

“Yes!” He held my elbow, “Come on. We have lots of things to do and that needs to be done today.”
