Chapter 8 The Preparation ( Two)

  • Saturday Lucy had to wake up so early and it felt so annoying to her. She made her way to the bathroom doing her morning ritual.
  • She came out going through her wardrobe. She sighed as she had nothing good to wear to the party and suddenly her face beamed with happiness.
  • She rushed to the box and unlocked it as she brought out a gown.
  • " You will do just fine" she voiced out, staring at the black gown she wore for her graduation.
  • She packed her hair in a ponytail, wore her necklace and earrings. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she felt pleased but something was missing.
  • " Just a little touch of makeup and i will look dazzling" she applied her pankit and gloss, staring at herself one last time. Grabbing her purse she walked out of her apartment.
  • She met Oscar waiting for her , she dragged her feet as she walked up to him.
  • " Good morning Ms Vega, you look beautiful" he complimented.
  • " Thank you" Lucy replied as her face flushed red.
  • " Shall we? " he opened the car door .
  • " Of course" she entered.
  • She arrived at the Santiago mansion, the mansion always looking clean and beautiful greeted her. She smiled as the cozy breeze brushed her skin.
  • " What a nice place" she gasped, retaining the bright smile on.
  • " Good morning" the workers greeted her .
  • " Morning " she responded to their greeting.
  • She rang the doorbell, Martha opened the door ushering her inside .
  • " Good morning Mrs Martha, hope you had a good rest ? And thanks for the delicious meal" Lucy muttered.
  • " It's my pleasure, Richard went out this morning for an important meeting and Bianca is still asleep. I will leave you to your work" she replied and ambled to the direction of the kitchen.
  • " Okay, it's time to work " she sighed out, dropping her bag on the couch . She called the interior designer and the catering service, looking around to make sure she wasn't missing a thing.
  • ONE HOUR LATER.
  • " Can you move the seat a little further and make sure you use the white lily flower at the center of the table " she said to the worker.
  • " I warned you to make use of the white table cover not the red " she snarled at the worker as she hiked over to the worker.
  • " I'm sorry ma'am" the worker replied.
  • " Sorry for yourself," she muttered
  • Lot of things still needed to be done and she had less time to do all that . She felt really frustrated as the workers brought by the interior designer weren't doing their job properly and she also needed to check on the catering service. " This should be done before i get back or get ready to face the consequences'' she lashed out and made her way to the kitchen.
  • •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
  • The food, the hall , and wine were all perfect, she Sighed out in relief. She stared at herself and her face contoured into a huge frown. She was sweating profusely and her makeup was ruined, though the room was fully aircond but that didn't stop her from sweating.
  • The party will kick off in thirty minutes time , making it impossible for her to get home, clean up and also make it back on time. The worst part was she had no clothes to change into.
  • " What am I going to do?" She cried out .
  • " Hey Lucy" she heard her name . She twirled around to face Bianca standing at the entrance.
  • " Hey Bianca".
  • "Wow!! You look so stressed out, please take a break" she walked up to her. " Have you eaten?".
  • " Yeah , Martha served me juice and snacks".
  • " Ohhh Lucy, you need to eat something, this is 3:30pm ".
  • " Yeah i know , I had lots of work to do but that isn't the problem. I need to wash up and i can't go home " she pouted her lips sadly.
  • " Okay , come with me" Bianca dragged her along with her.
  • They arrived at Bianca's front door , Bianca pushed the door open , Lucy entered and a wow escaped her lips …. The earthly pink coloured wall, made the room magnificent , laying on the floor was a pink decorated rug, all lovely wide beige wardrobe designed with some beading carving a mid top , in the middle of the room was a 4 poster bed with a pink satin bedspread on it and some neatly arranged pillows laying at the edge of the bed . There stood a massive dressing mirror close to the bed with a lot of variety collection of makeup arranged perfectly on it , a pink huge curtain was hang on the window.
  • Although she was spoiled with money, but she never let it get into her head .
  • " You can wash up inside there" she pointed to the direction of the bathroom. " Your dress is dirty, change into this " she handed her a fresh dress .
  • " Thank you" Lucy muttered feeling grateful and scurried inside the bathroom.
  • " Wow!!" She gasped out surveying the bathroom. The bathroom was exactly the size of her room , the bathing tub was really huge and sparkling white. She entered the tub relaxing as the warm water did magic to her body.
  • •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
  • " Wow, I love the way the dress looks on you" Bianca said enthusiastically as she stared at how lovely the blue sheath long gown looked good on her .
  • " Thank you" Lucy replied as a smile graced her lips .
  • " Just a little makeup and you would look like an angel" Bianca dragged her to the dressing mirror and sat her down on the stool . She closed her eyes as she kept Bianca do her thing .she sat down calmly she kept hearing bianca blabbering a little contour,blush,eye contact,and lip gloss she began feeling bored
  • " Done" Bianca announced happily, moving away from the mirror so Lucy could see herself.
  • Lucy opened her eyes and couldn't believe she was staring at herself in the mirror " wow!!" Lucy opened her mouth wide in shock .
  • " Thank you so much" she pulled Bianca into a bone crushing hug. Bianca really did magic on her face .
  • They both headed down the stairs, immediately they heard the honking of a car. " Richard is back" Bianca squealed happily, suddenly Lucy felt nervous for no reason.
  • " Do i look good? Will he get angry at me?" All these thoughts ran through her mind.
  • Bianca dragged her out, waiting patiently for Richard to walk out. He stepped out of the car and froze on sighting Lucy.
  • TBC.
