After spending a week with Archer and Lucca, I finally reached New York, at 6 am. I didn't waste my time going to Xavier's house. My white McLaren was already at the airport. Within 15 minutes, I reached the office.

I opened the door to see a huge box with a neatly wrapped ribbon on it, along with a note.

We cordially invite you to

Our 2nd Annual Ball,

This year's theme is Elegant Grey.

A Fundraising auction and dinner to benefit our Caring Heart Foundation, in honour of our Late Parents.

The guests are expected to bring a plus one.

At 6 p.m. on n The New York Museum on 3rd July.

- Leonardo Sterling & Madeline Lewis

There was the official invite inside the box and two broaches which I presume were for the person and their's plus one. Shit, today is 1st July.

I told Hailee to clear my schedule for the next two days and reschedule them today.

After 18 hours of work, I was finally free. I sighed as I closed my laptop and made my way to New York Museum. I parked my car near Maddie's and went inside.

As I entered the Museum to see a huge red laid from the top of the pearl white stairs. The room was decorated with various kinds of vases, which complimented the theme of grey and black.

Few people were still hanging some decorations over the huge walls.

"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE DROP THE DRESSES OR ELSE I WILL SLIT YOUR THROATS!" I heard Maddie's venous voice and I titled my head to the direction of her voice, to see her screaming from the first floor to the people who were carrying those special twelve dresses which she made just for the Ball.

I chuckled. "Calm down will you," I shouted and she finally acknowledged my presence.

"Aubrey!!! Where the heck were you?-" "Don't damage your larynx, I am coming up to help you and I will answer all your questions," I said and Maddie glared as she huffed.

I climbed the stairs as I made my way towards the first floor. Maddie stood there with her arms folded against her chest as she gave me an angry glare.

"Where did you disappear like that for a week? We were so worried andAnd Xavier!! He was really pissed he came bargining in our house asking where you were ," " I had told the manager of the hotel and Adrian as well that I had a last minute meeting in Melbourne that's why I had to leave as soon as possible, I will tell you afterwards first tell me what all I can do to help," "Okay fine I am leaving the topic for now and I need a lot of help,"
