A New Maid And A Beautiful Bachelor Don't Mix!

A New Maid And A Beautiful Bachelor Don't Mix! :[18]: Behind The Mask [Part two]

To those who have followed this from the beginning, I thank you with all my heart! (at the end of the series I will list all the names who have commented on the story. Yet, that will be awhile since I plan to have this go until it reaches to either chapter 27 or 28. So we got a while, but that just means more fun and perhaps schemes. Man, I put Evett through a lot of crap.)

Having the time of your lives

Happy within your disguise

Watch how the child in you dies

Circles inside of your mind.

Part Two

I hate limos. That's all I can say. When trying to get out, it felt like a suicide mission. The dress I'm wearing had somehow tripped me and almost cost me my face being implanted into the sidewalk. I was thankful when Dagan was at my side and caught me before I kissed the soiled ground.

Thanking him, the two of us set off into the radiant hotel that stood tall among the other buildings around it.

Walking past the luxurious lobby, we head into the same direction of other masked public. I could see the people enter through grand wooden doors as I glance over to Dagan to see him pulling out our tickets. Amber had them mailed in yesterday, having her own personal butler deliver two golden tickets with an impassive expression. I wonder how it would be to have staff that didn't have any emotion.

Shrugging the thought away, I see that we have passed through the doors already and where now inside a golden room.

'Wow, this place is...gorgeous.' I thought in awe, gazing around the enormous space with wide eyes. It was just so much to take in. The ceiling, high above our heads held a large chandelier that glowed like a diamond, its tiny tear drop crystals hanging from each golden branch as the curled at the ends. The rest was of the place was filled with golden decorations and furniture, some white with golden trimming while in the middle of the floor was pairs dancing in the glamorous illumination.

"I'm going to go get a drink, want anything?" Dagan suddenly asks, looking over to me as I find myself back in reality.

"Alcohol would be nice." I remark bluntly, watching as he rolls his blue eyes. The man couldn't take a joke at times.

"Water it is then." He mumbles under his breath, shaking his head lightly as he walks off into the direction of the refreshment table. This left me alone...and somewhat uncomfortable.

Deciding to explore the place, I begin to travel around the room, my eyes searching for a certain blonde model along the way. I was sure when we arrived that she'd be meeting us at the front door of her family's hotel but, to my surprise she wasn't there. I still wondered about the friend she wanted me to meet, hopping she wasn't trying plan some sort of scheme. Yet the more I thought about it, the less I began to believe. I just toss the thoughts aside, considering that Amber wouldn't' be that smart to conjure up such an arrangement.

Turning, I was about to just go to an empty seat when I spot something.

"Is that who I think it is?" I murmur lowly to myself, watching as a girl around my age wonder through the crowed with short curly blonde locks. Form my view I could see she was wearing a rather familiar looking blue dress that resembles one I seen in Janet's massive walk in closet.
