Breaking Clarisse ***completed***

11. Host

Tonight Elijah was playing host to a lodge community get together..

All day every servant rushed around to prepare for it. Food was being delivered and Elijah spent a good part of the morning in his office on his phone. I spent my morning outside in the garden away from the commotion that came with preparing for an event of this magnitude.

I missed her. I felt alone again. I fought my way passed the self loathing as I watched the water move between my feet. I cringed as a frantic yelp was sent in my direction. Charlotte the new hair dresser came looking for me. Uptight that I wouldn't be ready in time.

Charlotte was Elijah's personal assistant however she also prepared my hair and makeup while Melinda worked out my wardrobe. I usually saw her with him fixing his suits. Scurring around Ms Clemens. Ms Clemens was his office coordinator. Preparing his papers and meetings. Taking his messages.

Mr Giavonno was clear on the list of requirements he needed to make regarding you Ms Clarisse. She bellowed nervously.

Please Charlotte we have plenty of time and just Clarisse is fine.

Well Clarisse if you would follow me I need to start on your hair. Im pretty sure your dress will fit perfectly but just in case I do need to make any adjustments we need to begin immediately.

Very well I said in defeat. I followed close behind her with my sandels in my hands. Laughing as she kept looking back to make sure I was behind her.

My Neia Ruffle White Chiffon dress with White heels made me feel like a dress up doll. Something he could prance around and feel overly proud about. Charlotte pulled my hair up off my shoulders and I was done.

There they were all rigid, in their regal like exterior. The facade of true emperors, boasting to one another about how they became masters of the universe.. Speaking to one another in such high regard. As if everyone in the world stood beneath them.

I was excited the moment I saw her. Andrew's actually brought her.

Is he treating you well at least. I asked excited to see her.

I'm fine Clarisse its been a change but im adjusting. Melinda has outdone herself. She said admiring my dress. I miss him. She stated with a pouty lip.

Yeah?

Oh I have to tell you she whispered pulling me to the side. I found out what happened with Jessica.

What. My eyes widened and suddenly I pulled myself in for gossip. Finding myself more curious than ever before.

She ended up going to a Dr Michael Benson. She started to shake her head almost exaggerating the sadness. Its bad.

Well how bad it could it be honestly I had seen pretty bad.

I heard that he cut out her organs and made a killing on the darkweb.

What the hell Michelle. Why would you say something like that?

Clarisse I thought you wanted to know. I shook my head at the last comment. Stupid me why didn't I just ignore her, tell her to stop. Why did I press like an idiot. I didnt want to know that. Thats for sure. I felt like my whole day had been ruined. Poor Jessica it was worse than I had expected. Honestly I felt my stomach drop and told myself that at least things couldn't get worse. And then it happened.

Jeremiah walks in with one of his girls.

After the news I just wasn't up for the party.

Well Elijah how about we jump start this party with a show of our two Debutaunte girls. Andrew's said. It looks as though they miss one another. Everyone clamored in excitement all in agreement.
