Enthrall Me (𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒅)

Chapter 46 | The Golden Age

After a moment of sheer silence, he brings himself back to his seat, leaving my face with his hot breath still lingering as I watch him do so.

"After you, Rosalie..." He speaks, eyeing me with his usual unreadable mien as he fixes his collar.

"Uh... Yeah." I bob my head and force out a strained smile.

I don't know if I should be happy or upset that he moved away from me.

"Th- thank you for opening the door for me." I blurt before swiftly turning over and getting out, avoiding his intense gaze that is boring into the back of my head, as well as escaping the awkwardness and hiding my blush.

I begin to glance around, exploring the place.

There are people dressed in formal clothing, gracefully heading inside after they have parked their cars.

Talking about outfits... I don't know if what I'm wearing is okay for this dinner, for work or not.

I know my taste is ugly but I did put some effort in choosing clothes for this afternoon.

Since I knew I would be out with Damon, I really wanted to look nice for him.

So I borrowed Catalina's clothes and picked a pink belted blouse with a black skirt that is just a tad above the knees.

I didn't choose a skirt that was too short or too long, for it would make me appear overly sexy or overly old.

But still, I look bad compared to those people.

"I look out of place..." I mumble to myself.

"What?" Damon walks up to me and asks.

I didn't actually expect him to hear this...

"Well..." I look up at him.

"People dress so nice and I..." I chuckle, shifting on my feet.

"You always look good, Rosalie, it doesn't matter what you are clad in." He shrugs, eyeing me from top to bottom briefly then meets my eyes.

"I..."

"Well, thank you..." I thank him then look away shyly.

Damon just complimented me, I need to...

I need to stay calm.

Unexpectedly, someone calls him.

He takes his phone out and answers the call.

"Cancel the meeting for me and compensate them." He speaks to the phone quickly before hanging it up as I observe him inquisitively.

"Let's head inside, shall we?" He puts away his phone to bring his regard back to me.

I quietly look at him and nod.

What was that? Did he cancel another meeting for me or something?

He walks ahead and I quickly follow behind.

"Mister Alston." The security guards greet him as we walk past them.

We reach the building's entrance and the glass doors automatically slide open for us.

In front of me is a magnificent hall with gold being their main color, the floor and walls are made of glossy golden marble tiles, even the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling generate golden light throughout the room.
