"Wow" was all Lucy could say.There stood August, in a black sequence dress, hair in an elegance bun updo curled to perfection with little strands falling down here and there.
She was gorgeous.
But that didn't surprise Lucy. August was always gorgeous in her eyes. "Wow" August exhaled in disbelief. The girls really did good designing the dress, that was for sure. It had a deep v neck that strayed down to her breast, there was a slit at the front of the dress stopping just above her knee and the dress had a train. It looked expensive and it was heavy too.
"You're going to knock all of those guys off their feet!" Lucy exclaimed, she reached for Augusts's wallet that held her ID and credit card and handed it to August. Instead of a purse for the night August had chosen a thigh harness for her phone and two cards. They blended into the dress perfectly and as long as she kept moving, no one would notice a thing.
"Thanks Luce" August pressed a kiss to her forehead, Lucy smiled but said nothing else until the sound of a car was heard outside.
"That must be your ride, right on time!" Lucy helped August outside and into the black limousine Alec had ordered for her, excited about the night ahead.
Although it is a fund raising event for Alec to converse and make alliances with different companies, August had a feeling it would be a good night.
She'd be meeting all of Alec's friends personally and she hoped it went well. She wanted to get to know them better, learn their likes and dislikes. If she really tried having a relationship with Alec then she'd need a friendship with his friends.
"You look gorgeous" August broke out of her thoughts and zoned back in to the events happening around her. The limo had stopped and she was standing outside of it, hands folded together in front of her while Alec eyed her up and down.
"Thank you, you look handsome as well" August smiled back. She took Alec's outstretched hand fully expecting the eyes of paparazzi to notice and snap pictures of them.
The paparazzi who had gotten through the guards defense were bombarding them with questions up until they entered the events building where the second layer of guards stood, waiting to usher the paparazzi away.
"Are you okay?" Alec asked once they had arrived inside the building. August inhaled sharply and nodded her head. "Paparazzi comes with the job, you told me that on my interview day" Alec chuckled but said nothing else until they had reached the stage that hundreds of beneficiaries waited in front of.
"There is a minor change of plans for tonight" Alec started "I am so glad that all of you came for support, as you all know this is our annual gala where we raise money to give back to help those who are less fortunate and create new partnerships in hopes that the next year will be just as fruitful as the last" the crowd cheered.
"My beautiful PA will not be handling any transactions weather business or otherwise tonight. Instead my lovey two assistant, Samual and Ralph will be doing most of the work so if you have any questions please go to them. Our goal for the night ladies and gentlemen is 100k but I'm sure we'll raise that much and more. The app that we launched with a company we partnered up with is ready to download so that those who aren't participating in the bidding can still have a chance to donate."
Alec took Augusts's hand and lead her to Samual, Rum and Ralph who she had not expected to be there tonight. "Why are you guys here?" Was the first question uttered from her mouth. Rum gave her a hug first before Samual followed lead "I asked if I could come and these two idiots followed" Ralph replied. Samual and Rum scuffed at Ralph's insult "we wanted to help out. Alec mentioned that this is a predate before the official one and we wanted it to work out so we thought we'd work for the night, plus we are getting paid double for helping."
"Yeah!" Rum jumped in "we are taking care of everything so that you and Alec can take to his partnerships and meet with his friends."
And with that being said, the four of them split off into their own directions. August went to Alec, Rum to the snack bar that held finger foods to help sadiate anyone's hunger before the main course and Sam and Ralph went to talk to a few CEOs who had showed up tonight.
