Kiara's POV

We went to many stores, but nothing seemed to catch my attention. "Do we need like the big ball gowns or just evening dresses? Like I don't wanna look different there." I say irritated that we didn't get a dress and it been an hour. "Oh, honey you were made to stand out, and I think I found the perfect dress" Tyler stated as he made his way to a huge store with amazing dresses. One dress caught my eye. It was simple yet beautiful. It was emerald green with a slit just below mid-thigh. Its fabric was soft and smooth. I took it to show Tyler since I literally dragged him here to help me with this.

He gave the dress a good look, but he wasn't as much as excited as I was. "The dress is beautiful ma'am- "

"Please call me Kiara," I say, as I almost made my way to the trial room but was stopped by Tyler.

"But its too simple for the ball. I feel you need something shinier and fiercer to bring out your green eyes and hair." He states. "I've chosen one dress, it's in the trial room. Id like to see you in it Kiara" he exclaims.

I keep the dress aside and make my way to the room only to be astonished by the beauty in front of me.

It was a dark shade of emerald green with amazing embroidered details and gems. I eagerly put on the dress. The dress fit perfect and showed off my curves. The slit exposed one of my legs perfectly. It was a bit heavy, but it was worth it. I made my way out to see Tyler on his phone. He looks at me and freezes. He stands there staring, but starts laughing when I say "I know I'm hot, but you have to stare"

"Oh lord Kiara you look..." he pauses "..breath-taking. its perfect. You should get this. I got shoes too." He shows me the most beautiful pair of the silver heel. It was covered in gems. I was amazed.

"they're beautiful Ty. I'm glad I bought you with me." I say laughing.

"Ok let's go check out now. After you, boss"

"Not so quick Ty. We need to get you a suit too" I winked.

"Wha- there is no need. Really, I'm glad you asked me to come shopping with you, but I can't- "
"Its fine Ty, you're the only one who was straightforward with me. The only friend I have here in New York. It's a gift. Please" I smiled and showed him the suit I picked. It was a crème suit since I noticed he liked that colour. He loved it and even though he hesitated, but we finally brought both the dresses and made our way back to the car.

"Chinese or McD?" I asked as I started the engine.

"Mcd for sure," he said. We drove for a few minutes before reaching. We both ordered and ate in the car jamming to songs. He told me his past relationships and how he turned gay and came out. He was strong let me tell you that. Soon I dropped him and made my way home. The guards and max waved to me and I waved back. As I came in, I was greeted by Maria, an extremely excited Maria.

"Coffee? I thought you'd want some since it must've been a long day. I prepared sandwiches but I thought you already ate so I packed them. You can take them to the office tomorrow if you'd like?"

"Thank you, Maria, I really need that. Also yeah ill take them tomorrow. I bet they taste heavenly"

She laughed and turned away to bring the coffee.

"So, someone seems excited. What's up" I ask her as she comes back with two mugs of coffee handing me one.

"Actually, I don't wanna trouble you," she says nervously.

"Come on. You know you can talk to me."

"Ok so today while I was at the library, I got a text from my best friend saying that my ex was dumped by the girl he cheated on me with. Apparently, that hoe slept with someone and dumped my ex when he found out. And moments after her text I got his text."

"Wait your ex texted you?" I asked, surprised at his audacity. Men.

"Yeah and he said that he was sorry and that he missed me and regrated his decisions and all that shit. I swear I was laughing as he was trying to explain himself."

"what did you say?"
"What could I possibly say? I told him that he got what he deserved and that I was now no longer interested in him. After all these months blaming myself thinking I wasn't enough for him, I realised he wasn't enough for me. Tomorrow marks 3 months of me and Ethan, my boyfriend. He has loved me more than what my ex did. I'm deeply grateful for him."
"Aw, I hope the best for you both. You're perfect, don't let any guy make you think otherwise. Why don't you take tomorrow off? Spend time with Ethan."

"But who'll cook, I can't bunk my job just like that"

"I can cook myself something for a day love, and anyways tomorrow I have a party to attend so I won't be there in the evening. You should go" I smiled. She agreed and after a while of chatting and after showing her my dress, she left. Sometimes she'd stay here, sometimes she'd stay with her bf. I'm happy for her though. Everyone deserves love from someone special. As my mind goes to the hurtful memories of my past. I decide to forget all and go to bed. After all, it was late and tomorrow I must look good. This was the first party I'm gonna go to. I've been to many but not as a businesswoman, and definitely not with many people. But I wasn't nervous, ofc I wasn't, I was used to the attention I get. As thoughts of what could happen in the party filled my head, I drifted into a deep sleep.
