Audrey PoV

I just finished having my bath, and came out from the bathroom wrapped in my pink huge bathrobe.

The door bell rang,and I guessed that's Nina.

"I'll get the door momma!!!!" Yelled Miguel,before I could even move a muscle.

"Miguel I've told you....." I began to say.

"I know mom,I'm not supposed to answer the door,because there might be a bad person who grownups like you can handle. But this is aunt Nina,and I can definitely handle her. Can I get the door now?" Came his impatient voice.

Goodness gracious!! Always taking words from my mouth!

"Yeah,go on." I muttered.

After several seconds I heard the loud voice of Nina from downstairs.
"Look at my Mimi....getting all big and handsome. Oh my goodness you look cuter than before,what's the secret young man?" She all but screamed.

I smiled. You will feel like she hasn't seen him for like ages. But they surely saw each other last weekend when I visited her. Trust Nina with exaggerations.

I heard Miguel's loud groan. "Aunt Nina! I'm Miguel now,not Mimi. That's too girlish for me. And I'm not that different from last weekend we saw each other. Anyways thanks for the compliment. Mom is upstairs,probably eavesdropping on us."
Miguel retorted.

Boy!!!what a smart kid. Sometimes I really ponder over the issue of if I'm really training the boy well. He seems to know everything.

" You're gonna get into trouble with this mouth of yours." Nina said probably ruffling his hair,before saying. "Hope you've packed..."

"I have. " he said simply.

"Good. Lemme see your momma."

And I know I'm gonna be bent to her rules.

"What do we have here?" She bursted in, obviously without knocking. She acted like she owned the place, the whole me me in fact.

"You have Audrey Peters. And who... not what." I finalised,opening my closet for an outfit.

"Whatever. So this date of yours......"

"Business date." I said making sure to pick out the words for her to fully understand.

"Baby,they are all the same. Who are you really meeting,Drey?" She asked, pushing me aside to go through my closet.

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.

"Chinese mergers. I'm going with Calvin." I explained.

She ignored my half explanation,and sat down,leaving my closet open. Before folding her arms and she gave me the ' yep,continue ' eyes. How on earth did she know there was more?

So I explained everything then. How my ex husband decided to take our longterm Chinese associates. And how Calvin was worked up,and you know what nearly happened. What? When you are telling Nina something,dare not miss important Info's.

"So he finally want to make himself known,huh?" She said after some moments of silence.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked,honestly confused.

"I mean,Cade decided to show himself to you after what? Seven years?" She said,clearly correct.

"Who even cares about him anyways? If he's taking the Chinese mergers away from our company,its surely not because of me. Cade and Calvin has this enmity between them. The are practically rivals,so that explains it." I said matter of fact.

"That goes your own explanation. Do you think its really because of the fucked up enmity that made him fix a business date? Wrong baby girl,he obviously wants to see you....maybe know how you've been for these years."

"Are you kidding me? He wants to know how I've been? He didn't think that when I was pregnant with Miguel,how young and naive I was with a huge belly, how badly I needed a companion to come with me for appointments and check ups. He didn't even think that when I was trying so hard to get Miguel out of me. So what the fuck does he want now? He is really insane if he thinks that  I'm gonna even glance at his direction" I said getting all angry and flustered already.

"You need to calm down. Don't get worked up over nothing. If he's gonna be there this evening you should be glad."

There goes my very confusing best friend.

"What do you mean glad? I'm horrified of the idea even. I can't breathe the same air with the bastard."

"I know,I know. That's why I'm here right? To doll you up." She suddenly said.

"You know you've been getting really confusing lately. What does dolling me up got to do with anything?" I asked,probably looking tired already.

"By the time I'm done with you this evening. Cade will regret the moment he accused you of cheating on him. He'll understand that you've been well off without him. In fact you actually got better because of the divorce." She finished.

Now I understood her.

"So,let's get you a sexy dress." She said almost ransacking my poor clothes in the closet.

"Remember this is a business date. And I don't think I have any other outfit except my work clothes...,."

"Found it!!" Yelped Nina.

Oh No!

She can't be serious!!

"Oh yes,I'm dead serious Audrey. You are putting on this dress. You haven't worn this dress since I got it for you right? You don't need to answer that. Its still as new as I got it!!", She asked,menacingly.

" There have not been an occasion to wear it. I can't wear it to the business date! Look at the low neckline, the cleavage will be too....."

"I dare you to wear another dress, Audrey." She interrupted.

Oh Goodness me! Why did I call her again?

"You better go put it on,so I can make you up. Hope you have some thronging machine here? You're not tying your hair in a tight bun,baby. It's gonna be in waves!!" She announced,moving around my room,searching for god knows what.

I quietly put on the pink gown,which clung to me like second skin. Okay,the gown is beautiful but all my curves were just in show. And I'm sure,my buttocks looks bigger than the normal shape. Don't get me started on the cleavage. And I don't really like pink,but well mama killer would surely cut my neck. Note the sarcasm.

"Wow! Audrey you're a mother not a Nun!!you've been hiding for so long already. Just look how smart and beautiful you look in this dress,there's nothing wrong with it. You ask me. Its perfect." Nina babbled on.

"I don't want to look too....." I started. She never let's me finish.

"You don't look too anything. You're perfect....let's make you up."

And ladies and gentlemen,that's how I brought myself problems,by actually inviting the devil herself. Dolling me up? She really did, like she could do any make up,other than foundation and my eyebrows. Oh my hair too. And I don't have makeup kits either,so no dolling up!

But I looked pretty anyways. Really charming and brave.

I'll send the pics to you guys in the next chapter!!!
Tell me what you think.
