Chapter Thirteen : Fashion Breakthrough (1/2)

Maya's POV

My conscience was definitely telling the truth when it said this dress was going to get me into trouble. All Emily's idea.

Since I had no clothes left to wear for breakfast due to the sleepover, Emily decided to lend one of her clothes to me which led to me wearing a simple lacy little black dress which showed off quite a cleavage.

”This is a mistake ”I murmured tugging the dress upward to cover a bit of the exposed skin which was a total failure

Emily shot me a frown saying ”No, this is a fashion breakthrough.Now stop squirming like a fish out of water and go blow those men off their feet”

And now here I am still chanting mentally , This is a mistake.

”wow” Eden gasped when he came downstairs. He stared at me hungrily like I was some food to be devoured.

”You look breathtaking ” He drawled , took my hand and dropped a lingering kiss at the top of my hand that sent shivers down my spine .

”Thank you” I breathed and caught the movement of his eye when it rested on my you- know- what - I'm - talking about.

He smirked, licking the bottom of his lips and released my hand while I made a mental note not to flirt with him else I get myself into trouble. Especially before he begins to think I dressed up to impress and flirt with him.

Yeah, I might have crushed on Eden last night but after discovering him and Nik are competitive and might be seeing me as a sort of prize to be won, I backed off.

I'm done being used, Andrew showed me exactly the pain and humiliation of being used so I've had enough.

I can't afford to go through such pain again so I'll stay away  as much as I can from trouble, a hot handsome trouble.

Nik and Tina were the last to arrive and I couldn't help but stare at him, how did such a heartless playboy get to be adorned with so much good looks and body

Ok, danger*danger* leave the body part out

”Welcome everyone” Mr Adam said as soon as everyone was settled while I scanned everyone on the large dinningtable. Aside from everyone I knew, there was also a few relatives present at the table.

Sparkling neat cutleries were placed at everyone's side while wine glasses and mugs sat beside them. And I almost forget, the napkies were there as well, very white, soft and expensive.

Still enjoying the thrill of dinning with a wealthy family, I almost let out a startled yell when my eyes met Nik's scorching gaze.

There was something wild and untamed about that gaze that I felt electricity course through my body.

I shivered as the thought of Nik checking me out filled my head. Suddenly my heart bubbled with joy , why was the mere thought of Nik checking me out excite me this much? .

He finds me attractive? I rejoiced but suddenly frowned, I must be crazy.

Unfortunately that joy didn't last for long

I followed the direction of his gaze and discovered it was resting on my cleavage, then I felt real anger.

He wasn't checking the dress nor me out rather he was staring intensely at my.....my.....my....you know what I'm talking about  .... and he was enjoying the sight. How could someone be so shameless?

Though my body was thrilled with the fact that I could still make a man salivate cause Andrew did a good number on my self esteem but  I was angry, how could he stare at me that way, so brazenly with Tina beside him.

So I sent a him a blizzard like glare but he simply smirked and looked away.

Wow, I gasped.

He was shamelessly eye flirting with some girl who wasn't his girlfriend in front of his girlfriend. This guy was definitely a player to the end and funny enough ,I can't seem to remember how I got tangled with the likes of him.

Tina must have felt what was going on or maybe it was just girls instincts cause she found the cause of Nik's distraction .

My cleavage

And she sent a look that if eyes were bullets, I would be long dead .

As if on cue, the servants arrived with our food saving me from experiencing another of Tina's tortourious glare.

Everyone ate in silence just like a mannered aristocratic family, even the sounds of cutleries clicking against the plates were not heard unlike my family where kim makes most of her discussions and noises during a meal.

The silence though didn't last forever cause it was broken by the troublemaker Isabella as she requested for an island from her grandfather.

what would a ten year old girl do with a private Island? I wondered

But that was until I learned she already had three private islands to her disposal and I choked on my food.

What .The . Fuck.

And I was utterly bewildered when Mr Adams readily agreed to buy her another one with a one condition deal in between.

”What deal?”Isabella asked leaning curiously towards her grandfather and I couldn't help but notice the mischievous glint, she definitely was up to something that'll surely and when I say surely, I mean surely , will  upset her Father.

”You go to the same school with Annabelle” Mr Adams replied with a  confident grin but the reactions from family members weren't encouraging at all especially Nik

He stood banging his fist on the table and heaving like an enraged bull set loose by mistake ” Hell, she ain't going anywhere”

”Its her decision to make Nik” Eden literally snorted while Nik sent him a deadly glare

”Fine , I'll do it ” Issabelle accepted confirming my suspicion that she definitely wanted her father upset
