His Whore [ON HOLD]

Chapter Thirty

Dreame is giving away 5k to writers who win their contest because of the corona virus that is going around. I'm almost tempted to enter one of my works in, if I don't win the 5k then I have a chance at the $500.

Days had passed by in a blur and today was the day of the gala.

August was as nervous as any girl would be on her first date with her crush but this was different. This was her boss that she hadn't fantasied the idea of dating with.

This was her boss.

August woke up early Saturday morning to get a head start on the gala. She first ordered food for Alec and had it sent to his house, then took a walk to the nearest fast food restaurant to grab something to eat. She had a long list of people she had to meet today and she had no time for errors.

After grabbing something to eat August headed to the catering restaurant. They went over the menu for the night one last time, changed anything that was wrong then went over the attire the catering staff would have to wear. Simple black and white tux for the men and the women had a choice of skirts, dresses or pants with a black shirt.

She then headed to the sight of the event to make sure all decorations were up and that the music for the night had been selected. They had a live performance from a small band that played classical music but they were only doing a handful of songs after the auction.

"Ms. Winter!" A shout caught Augusts's attention as soon as she arrived on sight. The event planner, Ray and assistant/partner were running up to her. "We've got bad news!" She rushed out, August held in a sigh. The day was going so well yet it had to be ruined.

"What's wrong?" August asked.

"The liquor! The company who'll be catering the open bar ordered forty cases of wine instead of the fifty and they spent the difference on vodka. We are also short on bourbon" she cringed just hearing the words come out of her mouth, she was afraid of the wrath August might throw at her but August was far from mad. It wasn't the easiest fix but at least it wasn't the hardest.

"I saw a liquor store a couple of blocks over, go and buy the difference of what we need including the bourbon. I will talk to the liquor company about getting a refund after the event." Ray's eyes flickered between August and the parking lot that stood to her left, wondering if she would leave now or wait for August to give her permission.

"NOW please!" August huffed. Ray left in a hurry leaving behind her assistant. "Is there anything you need me to do ma'am?" He asked politely, August flashed him a smile before shaking her head "tell me everything that has to be done before the gala tonight so that I can leave. I still need time to get ready."

With that the two went over the budget of the gala, the auction that would take place, the fund raiser for those who didn't participate in the auction, where each guest would sit and the exact schedule for each event taking place that night.

Ray changed up two guest speakers last minute to make room for fireworks if the auction is successful and the fund raiser amount is met. August had never been to an even like this before but she had no doubt that the fund raising amount would be met.

"I'm going to head home and get ready for the event, if you need my help you have my number but please don't call me for something stupid. I hired you two so that all I had to do was make sure everything looked nicely, not to do the work myself. I will be with Mr. Sterling the whole night which means he is my top priority, any interruptions can be catastrophic" August tried to explain in the nicest way. The event planners were as good as she hoped they would be but they had managed to book the perfect location, staff and get the decor up without burning the place down so she had to give them props.

Next event, though, she'll have to spend a little bit more money for someone with more experience so that she doesn't have to constantly look over their shoulder.

Author's Note:

It's been awhile.

I know I haven't updated a lot but I've been super busy making sure that I am all set for school and thankfully, I'm done!

I hope to spend my time making more chapters but I can't guarantee them. Normally I make a handful of chapters all in the same day but I'd gotten so caught up that I forgot. I hope you all can forgive me 😊
