“I exclaimed, standing in front of the mirror as I was about to put on my evening gown.
In less than an hour, I was going to walk into the Langham Hotel as Aren’s plus one and drink champagne at the party celebrating the 20th anniversary of New Business Journal. Since the journal had been known for presenting innovative and emerging technologies, it was certain that the event was going to gather everyone in business who wasn’t afraid to look into the future. And since in business, those who stay still are already two steps behind, it was obvious that the event would attract everyone who counted.
I took a deep breath and put on a fitted white dress with a V-neckline, deep just enough to expose my mesmerizing necklace but not overly expose my breasts. The gown was simple yet sexy; it underlined my thin waist and wrapped around my curvy hips, and the slit at the front was perfect to show off my legs embellished in Jimmy Choo heels. With my eyes emphasized with liner and mascara and my hair tied up in a neat bun, I was finally ready to show myself in front of my husband. He watched me walking down the stairs, and I could see his grin widen.
“You easily outshine any diamond,” he said, holding the Tian Kong necklace.
I chuckled. “I doubt that. I bet that everyone who tries to talk to me is going to stare at my neck instead of my eyes.”
“I’d rather they stare at your neck than at those two beauties a little lower.” He smirked and walked toward me to help me put on the necklace.
It felt much heavier than before, but I guessed it was my anxiety that added weight to it.
“I have something more for you,” Aren said, pulling out a small jewelry box from his pocket. There was a pair of diamond drop earrings that went perfectly with the necklace’s style.
Once I put them on, I started to feel like a debutante going to her first ball in high society… which instantly made me even more restless. My only comfort was having Aren near me, and I prayed that he would save me in case I was about to make myself a complete idiot.
“God, they won’t expect me to have actual knowledge about business, don’t they?” I asked nervously, getting into the car.
Aren burst out laughing, “Sunshine, you know a lot about business. I can assure you that everyone is going to expect you to know less than you know. There will be a lot of wealthy people there, but don’t expect them all to even fully understand what their own business is about. Stop worrying.”
a mantra, but it didn’t help me calm down. I kept tapping the seat with my fingers and nervously correcting the strands of my hair. Suddenly, Aren grabbed my chin, turned my face to him, and kissed me hard and passionately. He grabbed the back
