Chapter 15:- Preparations.
"Yh, gala. A charity gala. Why do you seem so surprised? Weren't you informed by Richard?"
Damilola nervously smiled, not saying a word. She really couldn't figure out what was going on.
Though confused and worried, Diego decided it was none of his business and asked Damilola to let them get started on the preparation.
The large living room of Richard's suite had been transformed to a dressing room for her.
After urging for them to get started, about five racks of clothes were displayed right in front of her.
The clothes were pleasing to the eyes and Damilola just wanted to have them all.
Diego stared at the clothes for a while and picked a few out for her to check out.
Though he could already figure out which one will fit the most but he still wanted to see her on all.
Damilola got changed into different clothes till she was completely exhausted. She wasn't really a fan of things like this, it always easily got her depleted of energy.
Finally after what seemed like forever, they settled on a classic Silky A-line off shoulder formal dress, with V-neck and leg slit, accompanying it was a zipper back. It was royal blue in colour and it was just perfect on Damilola. She was completely transformed to an extreme beauty in that dress.
Looking at the wowed look of the people around her, she wanted nothing more but to see her look in the mirror.
Diego prevented her from checking herself out in the mirror, he loved mystery. He wanted to keep her in suspense.
He asked her to remove the dress, so, they could get started with her make up and hairstyle.
Damilola did as requested and was soon seated for the make up.
Her hair was styled first then the makeup applied. While the make-up was being applied on her face, Damilola was deep in thoughts. She just couldn't understand Richard. He was too mysterious for her. Many of his actions, she couldn't explain.
Firstly, she couldn't understand why he had that many bodyguards surrounding him. He was a business man. Though a celebrity, but not the type of celebrity that was known all of over the world. He never reveals himself. He keeps a low profile. Besides celebrities don't even carry that much bodyguards around them.
Secondly, why on earth did he employ her as a personal assistant for a week when he was rich enough to get a perfect assistant for himself? Besides, he definitely must have a personal assistant anyway. Why have her as his P.A? He never chose an assistant since he had been coming to this hotel, why now?
Thirdly, why would he take her with him to a gala dinner. That was way out of line. Gala nights are very special events that people like her could never dream of.
Lastly, why call Diego and his crew over here, when they could have gone over? Why go through all this stress?
Damilola was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear Diego call her.
The lady in charge of her makeup was done about a while ago and was yet to receive a response from her. He called her twice but received no response, till Diego came around and tapped her, saying, "Alex, are you alright?" Diego asked worriedly.
Having being tapped, she jerked out of her thoughts.
"What's up?" She asked.
Diego stared at her for a while, confusion written legibly on his handsome face.
