I stood there, just staring into the big box of pastries that I should have placed out onto the shop shelves. I gave out a huge sigh while in thought. Why was I chosen for this? Has the mystery lover really fallen in love with me? Or is this just a rich noblemen's way of fun after all?

York did say that the mystery lover is in love, and the game got real... Oh, I just don't know what is real? But I just can't stop thinking about them all. The way they made me feel that night was sexy and fun. Maybe York is the real mystery lover? And he is gorgeous. I smiled to myself before I let out another sigh.

"Harper, dear? Are you okay?"

I felt Mr Juliano's hand on mine. I looked at him and he was smiling at me.

"Oh, I'm sorry... I must have spaced out for a moment."

I smiled back at Mr Juliano. He took my hand into his.

"Harper? You have been staring into that box for over ten minutes now. I hope you know if there is something troubling you, I'm here to listen okay?"

"I'm fine, and yes thank you... Please do not worry about me."

"Well that's my job you know, you are like a daughter to me."

I smiled back as I squeezed Mr Juliano's hand gently.

"Good, now let's get back to work."

He gave me a sweet chuckle and I gave him a kiss on his cheek. We both went back to work, but the guys were still in my mind. Will I see them all again soon? I can't get the smell of flowers and roses out of my head. It was the smell on all of them, but the strongest scent of roses is on the mystery lover... Which one is he?

My shift finally ended and another long day has passed. But I do enjoy my time working with Mr Juliano. I smiled in memory of his kind words today. I walked slowly home letting the warm evening breeze flow through my hair. The memories of dancing with each nobleman rushed into my mind. The way they held me as we danced made me smile. I wanted to feel them again.

I arrived at my apartment building. as I walked up to my door. There was another box waiting for me on the floor. I smiled as I picked it up. I knew it was from the mystery lover. I took the box inside and opened it with excitement.

I smiled as I pulled out the card and with it was another gorgeous dress. It looks very expensive. This dress was in black, slimline and absolutely gorgeous. This will show off my curves. I pulled out the dress it was stunning. A little black pouch fell to the floor. I picked it up and looked inside. Oh My God! inside was a beautiful diamond necklace that matched my bracelet. I looked down at my bracelet and smiled. Wow, this must be all very expensive?

I noticed black high heels were at the bottom of the box, with a black purse. He has thought of everything. I placed everything carefully back into the box, then picked up the card.

Harper, you are invited to a midnight ball. Please find the dress code inside. I hope to see you tonight, If you wish to get closer to finding out your mystery lover? Please come to the Bradshaw Estate at midnight. I will send you a car... Mystery Lover x

He knows I don't have transport... Is it York? And why has the location changed? I looked up at the clock, I have a few hours to get ready. But first I'm going to take a shower. I couldn't get York out of my head... It's got to be him? Maybe I will find out more tonight?

It's nearly time and the car will be here soon. I checked my dress in the mirror, it does look stunning with the diamond necklace and bracelet. They both sparkled in the light. I heard a knock on my door.

"The car is here!"

I opened the door to see the Doorman from the first party standing there with a sexy grin.
