For The Stars Have Sinned (Complete)

Chapter 17

Through the night

I found myself nodding my head in agreement and I might need to knock my head to check what's inside. What about your meet-up with CareLikeGoldFish? Uh, RIshel, you messed up!

From CLGF: 'Sorry, I might be late for our meet-up. I am invited to a party tonight. If you can wait for me, then we'll meet.'

I bit my lip while looking at CareLikeGoldFish's message. Tonight's the party night and I sent a message to my favorite author. Those sleepless nights with me bombarding his message board with 'I love you's paid off. CareLikeGoldFish noticed me and agreed for a meet-up, but tonight's just awfully not the right time. He and I are attending parties. 

I sent him a message.

To CLGF:  'I also have a party to attend tonight. If you're in the city, you probably know about the congressman's birthday party.'

A few minutes passed before I received his reply.

From CLGF: 'I'm attending that party too.'

I blinked when I read what was on the cellphone screen. That means... I'll see him later? My eyes lit up as I typed a reply.

To CLGF: 'We'll meet at ten then. At the top floor.'

From CLGF: 'Sure'

It took me seconds before I realized his reply. My palm flew up to cover my mouth as I internally screamed. Biting my lips to contain my wide smile, I put the cellphone aside. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. 

Right now, a make-up artist whom Mama recommend is fixing me up. It was not my style to dress up flamboyantly but upon knowing that I would see my favorite band and author tonight, I urged the artist to make me more prettier.

"That's for sure, Miss," he promised with a smile.

Satisfied, I nodded to him and let him do his work. After hours of hair dos and make-ups, he stood me up and made me wear the evening gown I had chosen. It was a sapphire dress with sparkling laces parnered with pearl earrings. Upon seeing myself in a full-body mirror, a satisfied smile appeared on my lips.

"You did a great job," I complimented before stepping out of the room.

I carried my high heel in right hand, not planning to wear it before I arrived in the venue to reduce the risk of tripping over myself. It's difficult for me to walk especially since the hem of the dress was low. 

I planned to wear it in my car so I only wore a pair of sandals.

Walking out of the mansion, I drew a breath and stepped outside only to halt in my steps when I saw Lyndon in front of a fancy car. He was leaning on the hood and was on the phone. My smile froze on my lips as I made my way towards the car with a few maids following behind to lift the hem of my dress.

Mom and Dad were already at the venue. They left me in El Grande telling me that Lyndon's the one to drive me to the city. The corner of my lips twitched. The pink bubbles of happiness I was seeing around disappeared.

"Let's go," he said when he saw me coming. He even opened the passenger door for me.

I looked at him but saw that he was frowning and I believe it's because of that phone call. He didn't even look at me while calling someone on the phone. I guess, he's that busy. It's not a bother but I couldn't help frowning a little because he didn't seem to notice my beautiful appearance. What a gentleman!

I sat down in the passenger seat as he turned around in front. "I'll sign the papers after the party. Don't be reckless and never agree to his whims," ​​I heard him say before hanging up the call. He drove the car out of El Grande Lat.
