The Assistant

Chapter Nine

Exactly five and a half hours till the event was happening, Aurora was mortified. Hiroto had left to take a phone call to ensure everything was still going as planned, or else the entire would be canceled. Minor things like that started to pick at her nerves making it more difficult to stay calm. When they eventually woke up from their slumber completely forgetting that they were in each other arms it was awkward, but soon brushed off Hiroto did however, apologize for what happened with Aurora reassuring him that it was fine. Aurora seriously didn't mind; she found it quite comforting. Today was the day they got ready; any last-minute plan to be done had to be done today. They focused on getting ready the entire day, not just with themselves, but with the event itself.

Aurora had slipped on the dress that was given to her, in the beginning,  Aurora was under the impression she could wear the dress she brought but when Eric knocked on the door presenting her with three completely different dresses she was in shock, not only did she have to decide between three stunning dresses', but give up the one she wanted to wear. The choice was hard, but after a long mindful decision, she had decided to go with the simple beige maxi dress that had a puff that covered her left arm; the dress cut on her right thigh cascading down to her left ankle cut perfectly. There was no design on the material itself it was pure silk material that fitted perfectly around her waist, as well as her figure her earrings were fake diamonds no one would tell she bought last minute that dangled under her ear lobe causing a bright shine to her face.

The most difficult activity wasn't the five YouTube videos she watched doing her make-up, no it was the hairstyle to pull the look together. After some time of many hairstyles, the Boho updo won the race. "May I come in?" Aurora heard Hiroto knock, she also told him to not come in when he left since she would be getting ready, after a loud enough "Come in" He opened the door and immediately stopped in his tracks staring in awe at Aurora. Hiroto was dressed up to his suit matching the color of Aurora's dress; his suit was complemented with a black handkerchief and a silver chain hanging from his chest pocket. "You look so amazing beguiling even no, more" Aurora couldn't help but blush "You don't look too bad yourself"

Hiroto walked up to her holding out his hand for her to take; she took his hand his grip soft. He turned her around slowly taking a a full look at her beauty, Aurora couldn't help but laugh at the gesture. "I like your suit; wanna trade outfits?" He laughed wholeheartedly "I wouldn't be able to pull off all that make-up and jewelry." "Hey! I'm not wearing too much makeup am I?" Aurora turned the mirror checking if it looked patchy, to her luck he was joking. Aurora heard Hiroto step closer behind her watching him in the mirror, in the corner of her eye she glanced at the velvet box he was holding before opening it. Before she could even question him, Hiroto held up a diamond necklace, the lacing was silver with a simple heart-shaped diamond in the middle. Aurora watched as the light bounced off the shiny stone moving closer till it was around her neck "Mr. Han I couldn't" "I order you to accept this as a thank you for coming along with me as well as a compliment to you" Aurora felt at a lost for words; she would feel awful to accept this expensive looking necklace, but it looked stunning "Please, one more piece of jewelry"

Hiroto placed the cold piece of jewelry on her neck; Aurora shivered at the cold touch as it fit perfectly on her bare neck "Perfect." Aurora trailed her hands over the necklace looking at herself in the mirror and admiring, the cherry on top was the necklace "Thank you" she said turning around and staring at him with a wide-eyed smile, he returned it "Are you ready to leave?" Aurora looked at the time seeing it was time to start going. "We should go" Aurora sprayed perfume on the important areas before walking out the door, as they left their room walking towards the hall Aurora stopped; Hiroto turned around raising an eyebrow why did she suddenly stop in her tracks "Do I look okay?" Aurora asked sheepishly; she knew that he would say she did, but just hearing one more time would clear the reassurance. "You look perfect," he said smiling at her. Once again he held out his hand for her to take, and she did.

. Walking through the lobby to exit the building, Aurora saw Mr. Mason and Michael standing in dazzling suits smiling as they walked down the stairs "I did mention they were coming along did I" "I think so" Aurora waved at them. "Mason, Michael you look very well this evening." Hiroto was the first to greet, "Hello, sir, you guys look dapper." Aurora smiled as she stood beside Michael "Are we ready to go?" the assistants nodded their heads as Hiroto and Mason opened the door for her both bumping heads as they reached for the door handle "Ahem" Michael coughed waiting for his door to be open "Oh please" Mason scoffed getting into the passenger seat.
