Chapter 36 Book 2: Three

• Standing in front of the mirror in his dressing room, Shane sighed knotting his bow tie, the gala night has finally arrived and he wasn’t looking forward to it as always and tonight seemed to be worse because there was another reason, someone he wants to see and also not want to see. Working with her for the past four days wasn’t as easy as he had expected, not when she kept on showing up in different types of black attires which always made her look like a dark angel.
• He put on his wristwatch wondering which black designers she would be in tonight, he hoped it won’t be one that would make her irresistible, heaven, he doesn’t want to find her irresistible. Looking at himself one last time in the mirror, he turned and left the room. He picked up his phone and car key along the way and left the living room. He made his way to the elevator, pressed the down floor button and waited, trying to not get himself to be thinking like he had been doing a lot these past days.
• When he finally arrived at the hotel for the gala, he sighed, watching all the people going inside and the reporters trying to ask one or two questions, he knew he had to find a way to avoid them, he wouldn’t want them asking personal questions like they did last year and the years before, especially not now that she was in town.
