Chapter 81
Let me do your hair and makeup now , Nan said , grabbing her bag which consisted of hair supplies and makeup .
I smiled at her and sat down at the vanity across the room .
She got to work on my hair , brushing it out again and then blow drying it .
She got her curling iron and curled it , so it was wavy vand flowed evenly around my shoulders .
She put a hairpin in my hair to keep my side bangs out of my face and then she started on my makeup .
By the time she finished , I barely recognized myself .
Wow , I breathed .
You look amazing , she said , putting an arm around my shoulders .
Hes going to die when he sees you .
She grabbed a bottle of perfume and spritzed it at me , making me wince because some of it got into my eyes .
Sorry , she chuckled .
Just then , the doorbell rang and I froze .
Oh , my goddess ! she nearly shouted , grabbing my arm and tugging me towards the door .
Hes here ! I swallowed the lump in my throat and followed her out of my room .
I grabbed my purse that hung on the door handle before shutting the door behind me .
I quickly followed her down the stairs where she grabbed a pair of black heals that were tossed in the corner of the living room .
I saw these earlier , you have to wear them , she told me .
1 frowned .
Theyre my mothers , I told her .
She wont mind , she said , waving off my concern .
You two are the same size .
These heals go great with that dress .
I relented , putting the shoes on .
They made me about an inch taller , but not too tall .
Walter will still be a good foot taller than me .
She gave me one last look before motioning for the door .
Ill hide , you get the door , she whispered and then disappeared around the corner .
I shook my head at her retreating back and grabbed the doorknob , turning it just as he rang the bell again .
He froze when he sw me and his eyes grew large Wow he said under his breath , taking in my appearance from head to toe .
You look ….
His voice trailed off , unsure of what to say You dont look so bad yourself , I said , assuming he was going to say I looked good .
He did look great his suit and red tie ; his curly blonde hair was gelled out of his face , and he was neatly shaved .
I smiled at the effort he put into his own appearance .
We should go before we are late for our reservation , he said , pulling his eyes away from my cleavage and back into my eyes .
I nodded and glanced over my shoulder at Nan who was peeking her head around Chapter 0081 the corner and giving me a toothy grin and a thumbs up .
I smiled as I shut the door behind me .
I followed him to the red car that waited out front .
He opened the back door for me , and I slid in ; he got in behind me .
There was a young man seated behind the wheel ; he didnt look much older than Walter and he gave me a grin from the rearview mirror when our eyes met .
He was also wearing a suit , but it wasnt as pristine as Walters .
Judy , this is my subordinate , friend , and future Beta , Maxwell , Walter introduced .
You can call me Max , he said from the front seat .
Its nice to meet you .
You were all this guy could talk about since meeting you this morning .
I blushed at his words and glanced at Walter who was glaring at his future Beta .
Max shrunk in his seat and fixed his attention out the front window .
We should get going , Max said , clearing his throat .
Probably a good idea , Walter barked .
The rest of the drive was fairly quiet .
When we reached the restaurant , Walter rushed around the car to open the door for me before I even had the chance .
He took my hand and lifted it to his lips , giving it a gentle kiss before he helped me out of the car .
I smiled at him and followed him into the luxury restaurant .
A table for two under Walter Landry , Walter told the hostess confidently .
Her eyes grew large when he mentioned his name .
Mr.
Landry … its such an honor that you are dining with us this evening , she said , bowing her head to him Walter smiled and then draped an arm around my shoulders .
When her eyes landed on me , she scowled and then forced a smile .
Right this way , she said , grabbing a couple of menus and walking through the dining area .
As we walked , I couldnt help but get the sense that someone was watching me .
But then my eyes found him seated across the room and when our eyes met , my entire heart fell into my stomach .
What the hell was he doing here ??
