Aaron was having a conversation with one of his business partners so I tapped him on his shoulder letting him know that I'm going to the restroom.

Walking I looked around to see if I could spot his secretary anywhere since she has been trying to get his attention a couple of times throughout the night each time Aaron turned her down but not seeing her I thought she got the memo and went home. Not.

There I saw her walking towards the restroom, perfect, walking in I heard her scoff.

"Well if it isn't the gold-digging whore" she scoffed again, I decided not to pay her any mind and went to the furthest sink from her.

"So how much is he paying you, Miss. Slutty", ok she's getting on my nerves now.

"Excuse me??" I raised my brows.

"You know, how much is he paying you to act as his slutty little girlfriend" she had a soar scowl on her caked-up face.

"Firstly, I'm not the one walking around here with my breast practically spilling out of whatever that is you have on and secondly Aaron is not paying me anything" I was fuming by now.

"So it's the sex then, told you, you were a slut" she said totally disregarding my first comment.

Letting my anger get the best of me, I lunged at her slamming her face in the mirror but not hard enough for it to break, holding her by her hair I spoke to her.

"Don't you ever and I mean ever compare me to yourself again", and with that, I pushed her head forcefully making her stumble before I walked out.

Reaching the door I opened it and turned to look at her again.

"Don't you ever go near Aaron again because the next time you do a bruised nose won't be the only thing you'll receive" and with that, I walked out leaving her to nurse herself.

"Hey where were you so long??" Aaron asked wrapping his arm around me as soon as I made it back to him.

"Got lost on my way to the bathroom, me and my silly memory" I lied smoothly, I didn't want to worry him about anything that's why I haven't told him about the letters I've been getting.

"Oh" he chuckled, a few minutes passed before I saw his secretary running through the front door almost tripping.

"Hey, do you mind if I got a dance with her??" I heard a familiar voice asked, turning around I saw that it was Luca.

"Sure but bring her back to me" Aaron playfully warned.

"Sure thing boss" and with that Luca took me to the dance floor.

"You look good sis," he said while swaying us.

"You look handsome too Luca, so where is your girlfriend??"

"She went to the restroom"

Him saying that I almost thought he was referring to the slut of a secretary but I brushed it off because I know for a fact my brother has good taste in women.

"Ok, I'm dying to meet her"

"She's dying to meet you too" he chuckled, we continued to dance a little while before I saw his face light up and he was looking behind me, turning around I saw a beautiful brunette making her way towards us.

"Hi!! I'm Lilliana, you can call me Lilli, you must be Shai, I've heard so much about you" she said everything in one breath before she hugged me.

"Please, call me Ari, I've heard a lot about you too, it's nice to finally put a face to the name"

"Same here, I love your dress and your shoes, I love your whole outfit", she gushed with a huge smile. I definitely like her.

"Thank you my boyfriend bought it for me," I said giving her a twirl.

"He has good taste", just then I felt a pair of arms engulf me and by the way my body immediately relaxed I know that it's Aaron.

It's really amazing as to how in less than two weeks of knowing each other we've gotten so comfortable almost as if we've know each other for years.

"Who has good taste??" Aaron asked.

"Mr.Steffando??" Lilli seemed shocked

"Hello, Miss. Crawford" Aaron smiled.

"So nobody planned on telling me that Lilli works at Aaron's company as well??" I looked between Luca and Lilli.

"She's my P. A actually" Aaron answered.

"And my brother's girlfriend"

"Really?? So that would explain the times you'd go missing" Aaron smirks causing Lilli to blush which made us laugh.

"Well, I just came to get my girlfriend, I hope you two will enjoy the rest of the night", with that being said we walked away heading into the dining hall where dinner was being served.

We ate dinner at our assigned tables, and after dinner, Aaron went on stage and said his speech and thanked everyone for being here before the bidding started.

Aaron bought another island including a blood-red diamond neckless and 3 tickets each one that can be used by two people for a 2 weeks trip to Hawaii.

His reason for buying them was that we could get one, Dante could get one and Luca could get one, that was really sweet and thoughtful of him.

By the time the biding was over it was around 11 meaning we had an hour before the banquet was over.

I danced with Aaron then with Luca, and on to Dante before ending up back in Aaron's arms.

"Are you ready to go??" Aaron asked.

"Yes", feeling the tiredness wash over me, we made our way to the outside where Aaron's driver was waiting for us, we got in, and as soon as we did I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

            15 minutes later

I feel like I'm floating until I was placed in the clouds, slowly opening my eyes I realized that I was in bed.

"Go back to sleep Ari" I heard Aaron's voice say.

"But the dress..." I mumbled.

"Shhhh, the dress will be fine" he kissed me on my forehead, and with that, I drifted back to sleep.
