His Rebound

Chapter 24

I was sitting in front of the mirror in my robe with my eyes shut and I must add that, it was a nerve-wracking moment. Sarah was doing my makeup and no doubt I trust her with her skills but I couldn't help myself from killing the anxiety in me. I have to look good tonight. Many people's eyes are on me and can't disappoint Sebastian.

I can't let Sebastian down.

Sarah was prodding and probing my face with god know what. I always used to find a way out when Chloe used to force me to wear some makeup but tonight there was no escape. Chloe would be so shocked and definitely would be proud of me, if I send her my picture of tonight. What she failed to do, this marriage made me do in just a week.

There was only one thing I was anticipating about and that was my dress. But seems like this process od makeup was too long than I thought it would be.

"Are we done?" I ask in restlessness.

"5 more minutes."

"You have been saying this from an hour." She chuckled and continued to work.

"Aren't you coming to the ball?" I asked as she worked on my eyes.

"Nope."

"Isn't Ken invited?"

"He is."

"So he is going alone then? Didn't he asked you to be his date?"

"He did but we aren't making our relationship public right now. "

"Ahh...If I would have known all these things are the part of this marriage, I would have thought twice." She tittered.

"It's not that bad. You'll get used to of it. Just stay confident."

"That's the thing I lack."

"Seth is there for you. Don't worry." She encouraged me and I relaxed a bit.

"What's the time?"

"Umm.." She stopped probably to look at the time. "6.23." She added and resumed her work.

"Is everything okay with your friends now?" She asked and I smiled.

"Yes, it is. Thanks for the advice though."

"And did Seth apologized."

"He did even it was my fault."

"It wasn't your fault. Your friends deserve to know."

"It was hard for them to swallow the idea of this contract marriage thing you know." I told her genuinely.

"The only contract which was signed was between Ken and Seth for the business merger. Other than that you signed a prenup which is common. There is nothing like contract marriages. I am pretty sure they would be illegal by the law itself." She told me and I pondered upon her words.

"So there is nothing which says about the terms and condition of this marriage."

"No sweety. There is no such contract because that would be illegal. Hadn't you read the pre-nup." She asked and I shook my head.

"You should have read it."

"I trust Ken and Sebastian. So I am okay with it." I told her as she began to outline my lips and I had to remain quiet.

Did I do right but signing the prenup without reading? I don't know what was in it except for one thing that its a non-disclosure arrangement which I learnt after disclosing it to my friends.

Sarah applied my lipstick and then sprayed something on my entire face. Once it dried, I was allowed to look into the mirror and my makeup just looked perfect.
