Mistaken Love (#Wattys2018)

Chapter 10

Take Care of Him

"Alright, this one is good. Try that one." Caius pointed out the aqua blue halter dress that was displayed on the mannequin in front of the store. We are currently trying out some new dresses for a reason that I wasn't informed yet.

Caius wouldn't tell me what's the purpose of this one and to be honest, I've been into 16 different dresses and he didn't even like a single one of them.

"Seriously, the other dresses are so beautiful. And I know because I get paid because of fashion." I placed my hands on my waist.

"I don't care. Now, go ahead and try that one." He brushed me off before sitting down on the black sofa.

I rolled my eyes and snatched the dress that he is referring from the lady then heads back inside the fitting room. By the time that I stepped out, I am already wearing it.

And Caius wasn't able to say something once I released myself. He quickly comments on the other dress once I shows up but in this one, it took him seconds before he could talk.

"This is the one." Caius muttered then stands up. "Leave it on." He told me before he talks to the lady in the shop. "I will buy this dress and the other 16 dresses that she wore."

"Alright, sir. Please come with me." She assisted as he follows her.

Seriously, there is no need for me have all those dress. Besides, I still have something left at the house. And I barely even wear them.

I waited for Caius to finish paying them before he grabs me then leads me back to the car. I am overdressed if we are heading home though so I really am confused what's going inside of his head. Telling me wouldn't hurt though.

"Answer me already, Caius. Where are we going? You bought all these dresses and you let me wear one right now doe what?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"We are going to my parents' house."

"What?" I gasped. "Right now?"

"Yes, they called me and said that there is a family dinner happening tonight." Caius monotonously murmured like it's no big deal.

Something like this should be prepared. I mean, I am not really good in this. Gale's parents didn't even like me and they are very hard to please so I really have to work my butt off to get their trust and to make them like me as well. But now, I am going to meet Caius' parents.

I don't have a clue what they are but I'm sure that they are high class people to have a son like him.

I should be nervous but I am.

It seems like it doesn't even matter if they like me or not, we are not really engaged by choice. Caius and I are benefitting in this term.

The car was in full silence until we reached our destination. We entered an enormous gate that opens automatically and I was amazed to see a very big mansion as well. His parents sure are damn rich to be able to achieve such luxury. Their mansion is twice as big as Dad's though.

He parked the car in front then turns off the engine but before he gets out, he turns to me and hands me a velvet box.

"What's this?" I asked but as usual, I didn't get an answer so I opened it up myself.
