King's Prize (Kissed By The Baddest Bidder)

Chapter 5: First Party of the Year

"Miss?"

Honey turned around from the full length mirror at Soryu's suite, removing the mask from her face.

I was at the door looking at her, timidly holding out a small box.

"For me?" Honey asked.

"Mr. Ichinomiya said to give this to you," I said in a low voice.

"Where is he?"

"Umm, upstairs, Miss."

"Oh. Thank you," Honey gushed when she opened the box and pulled out a black lace shawl, putting it around her. "It's beautiful. Please thank him for me."

"You look beautiful, tonight Miss," I said, my voice hushed.

Honey smiled at me. "Thank you, Satine."

Honey turned her back to face the mirror again, and I couldn't help but be mesmerized by the sight of her. Without makeup, Miss Honey was already pretty but tonight she was stunning.

"You don't think I look overdone?" Honey asked without looking at me.

"Oh, no, Miss, you look perfect," I stammered and blushed. "That dress just looks good on you."

"I think so, too. It's a gift from Soryu." The way she said the name made me smile. She really must be so inlove with him.

"I'm sorry I cannot take you tonight..." Honey said apologetically.

"Oh no, Miss that's alright."

"We have other parties here at the hotel, I will make you really pretty then."

I blushed and nodded.

"This is really beautiful," Honey said almost to herself as she touched the light fabric.

"Have a wonderful evening, Miss... I'll just be in my room, if you need anything."

"Stop waiting up for me, Satine. You can do anything you want."

I smiled again and left, closing the door on my way out.

But instead of going to the guest room, I went up the stairs to Eisuke's suite, my chest hammering automatically.

Miss Honey doesn't seem intimidated, she probably was the only one who wasn't scared of him but Eisuke Ichinomiya sure scare me.

I pushed open the door and tiptoed in.

The man was sitting on the couch, one leg crossed over the other, a wineglass on his hand. He was, in all respects, as gorgeous as the magazines said he is, and being a snob seemed to heighten his appeal.

His eyes were the most arresting feature in his face, though, and they were staring right at me.

"Well, what did she say?"

"She... she seemed pleased, Sir."

He nodded coldly. "Honey will leave for Hongkong in a week. She knows how to make coffee the way I like it, so make sure you ask her before then."

"Sir?" Miss Honey is leaving? What does that mean? I started to panic.

"Are you dumb?"

I shook my emphatically.

"You will make my coffee from now on."

"Y-Yes, Sir."

Eisuke snapped at me. "And wipe that stupid look off your face. Honey will be back."

I sighed in relief, though I wondered a little how Eisuke could've guessed.

Eisuke gestured towards the door and I nearly fled, exhaling a pent-up breath.
