After a short nap, I started getting ready and preparing Lilah too. The hairdressers I hired made me a chic bun with two strands of hair in front. The makeup artist made me a light makeup with natural eyes and glossed lips. I put on my dress and heels. Lilah and I are waiting for Pierre to finish getting ready to finally go to the gala

"You are beautiful my princess" I exclaim when I see my daughter going around in circles to show her white dress covered with gold butterflies ."Thank you, mommy! You are pretty too" she cuddles me and gives me a big smile showing her cute smile where some teeth are missing. After about fifteen minutes, Pierre comes out of the room prepared and we all head to the car.

"On est en retard! Tu aurais pu être plus rapide !"(We're late! You could have been faster!) Pierre just sits in the car and rolls his eyes at my remark. I sit in the car too and put Lilah in her seat. The drive was shorter since the luxurious hotel where the gala takes place is not far away. "We've arrived," I say to Pierre before untying Lilah and pulling her out of the car. As soon as we got out of the car, the photographers surrounded us taking pictures of me, Lilah, and Pierre. I walked the red carpet to the front door of the building with my daughter's hand on one side and my arm entwined with Pierre's on the other.

We enter the reception room where the crowd seems to be chatting, dancing, and having fun while the orchestra plays. The room is huge and filled with rich and famous guests with beautiful and classy outfits. I can recognize some associates of the company chatting while drinking overpriced glasses of alcohol. I slowly go down the stairs but stop halfway by the feeling that I am staring at but after a second of looking around the room I continue my way.

In the distance, I see Mr. Durand and I walk towards him holding Lilah's hand so that she can not run. "Hey Dad!" he turns around and looks at me and then exclaims. « My daughter, you're beautifully dressed tonight, that why Mr. Williams and Mr. Smith already ask me to present them and their sons to you » I smile at him and hug him quickly. « Thank you dad and I hope they won't mind but as you know I am with Pierre »he rolls his eyes at my statement, takes Lilah in his arms, and guides her to the appetizers saying bye with a wave of the hand.

I sigh and turn around searching for him until spot Pierre talking with a tall, strangely familiar blonde woman at the bar. I approach and hear part of the conversation "And I love your photos in Playboy!" Pierre says it with his French accent and eyes of admiration which make me roll my eye at the fact that every time I'm talking with a man he creates an argument so I decided to stop their dialogue just to annoy him.

"Good evening, my name is Selena Smith, I'm second in command at Durand's enterprise and you are?" I introduce myself to the woman side-hugging Pierre while she gives me a nonchalant look. "I'm Yolanda Romanov duh, the world's best model!" and then I remember the article Dad showed me this morning... she is Dante's fiancée "Oh, and who invited you?" I ask her and Pierre throws me to 'watch what you're saying' type of look.
