A NIGHT WITH THE CRAZY CEO

CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE

(NEXT DAY); 3 P. M.

**BRIANNA**

It is afternoon now; mom and I came back from shopping some minutes ago and we also bought her drugs. Now, we are resting while I was also anticipating the arrival of the makeup artists. I was feeling all jittery as the time Mr. Adrian was going to pick me up drew closer and I couldn’t help but wonder how the gala would be like.

I went upstairs to take a shower before coming back downstairs to await the arrival of the artists. I didn’t realize when I slept off on the couch and ventured into a dreamless nap. I woke up to my mum calling me.

“Brianna, Brianna!” She called and I opened my eyes, allowing it to slowly adjust to the afternoon sunlight seeping in from the open curtains before proceeding to close my eyes again.

“Hmm?” I hummed in askance, rubbing my eyes with hands.

“The makeup artists are here.” She said but I couldn’t quite clearly make out what she said because of sleepy haze I was in.

“What?” I murmured sleepily.

“The makeup artists you were expecting are here!” She said a little more loudly and the sleep immediately vanished. My eyes cleared and I sprang up. The first place my eyes went to was the wall clock and I saw that it was a few minutes past four. Then I scanned the room, my eyes again settling on three beautiful ladies, each of them dressed neatly and holding a box each.

“Good afternoon, Miss Brianna.” They greeted simultaneously and I returned their greetings with a small wave. My cheeks suddenly turned red when I remembered that they must have seen me in one of my most embarrassing positions, sprawled out on the couch and looking unladylike, but who cares?

I looked at mum and thanked her with my eyes for waking me up, she nodded and continued watching the television.

“Hey ladies, let’s go up to my room and get this started.” I announced looking enthusiastic on the outside but very nervous on the inside. This is the first professional makeup I’ll ever do in my life and before now, I didn’t even possess any makeup except lip gloss, mascara and powder. But now, I have different makeup materials and that means I’ll start making up very often. I was also a little worried about what the makeup artists will think about my room, it isn’t the most beautiful thing to look at, but then again, who cares what they think? They’re just here to make me up and I’ll never even see them again after this.

We arrive at the bedroom and I noticed them looking around with an expressionless face and I shrugged it off, not caring about what they thought of the room. I quickly scrambled towards the only chair we had in the room and dragged it to the front of the mirror. I also cleared the bedside table and dragged it to the same place I put the chair. The both of them were directly in front of the mirror so it looked like a makeup vanity. The three ladies just watched me in silence as I made the arrangements. I settled on the chair and breathed in deeply.

“Are you ready, ma’am?” One of them asked after I had sat down.

“Yeah, I’m ready.” I said and they moved closer. They dropped their boxes on the floor and began working on my face, first beginning with wiping my face.

TWO HOURS LATER

The ladies were finally done with my hair and makeup after two torturous hours of me sitting down and them turning my head to their desired angle.

“We’re done, ma’am.” They chorused and stepped back. I was finally able to get a clear view oof myself in the mirror. The girl in the mirror almost looked nothing like me but she was me, she looked so damn beautiful with the makeup enhancing her facial features. They did the soft smoky eyes look, drew the eyeliner and even fixed lashes for me. They also painted my lips in red matte lipstick and styled my hair in a half-up half-down ponytail. I couldn’t help but gush at how I looked.

“You look so beautiful, ma’am.” One of them commented and I couldn’t help but blush.

“Thank you.” I responded with a smile.

“It’s time to put on your dress, ma’am. Mr. Adrian will be here any time soon.” Another said and I looked at the time on my phone, the time was twenty minutes to seven. I stood up, went to the wardrobe and brought out the dress from where I hung it yesterday.

“Uhm ladies, can you turn around please?” I spoke up shyly and I was so darn sure that I saw them smile before they turned around. I quickly stripped out of my clothes and put on a pair of new underwear that I bought yesterday and put on the dress. I told them to turn around when I was done.

“What’s next?” I quizzed.

“Now you sit down while we put on your jewelries and shoes for you.” One said and brought out a box and I assumed that it contains jewelries, I was proven right when she opened it and I was met with a glittering diamond necklace, a pair of earrings and bracelets. She put the jewelries on for me and I gazed at myself in the mirror. The jewelries looked good on me. After that, another one of them put on the heels for me and I stood up on my feet. I twirled and checked myself out in the mirror, I was satisfied with what I saw. The only thing left to complete my dressing is the fur boa shawl scarf so I took it out and placed it on the table so that I won’t forget it.

“Thanks a lot ladies, I really appreciate.” I grinned at them.

“It’s no problem, ma’am. We’re just doing our work.” They said and began to pack up their boxes. When they were done, they informed me that they would be leaving.

“We would be taking our leave now.”

“Alright ladies, thanks once again.” I said and they left my room.

I put a few things in the purse that I also bought yesterday and I went down to the sitting room, awaiting Mr. Adrian’s arrival because I was sure that he’d be here any minute from now.

“You look so beautiful sweetie.” Mom gushed when she set her eyes on me.

“Thanks mum.” I replied with a smile. I was about to sit down on the couch when I heard the loud honk of a car, I didn’t need anybody to tell me that it was my shithead boss.

“Mum, I’ll be on my way now.” I told mum and pecked her on the cheek.

“Alright darling, take care and don’t come back too late.” She spoke.

“Okay mum, bye!” I rushed out of the house when I heard the car honk again. Well, it turned out that it wasn’t a car honking after all, it was a fucking limousine. A sleek black one and Mr. Adrian was standing beside it.

“Took you long enough, I was going to come up there and drag your ass out.” Was the first statement that came out of his mouth when he saw me coming.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“Oh please, you didn’t have enough manners to come up to my doorstep and knock on the door!” I snapped at him.

“Are you calling me mannerless?”

“Of course not, you said that by yourself.”

“Whatever, just get in the limo and don’t make me angrier than I already am.” He said, looking tired and I calmed down slightly before I got into the limo and he came in after me. He told the driver to drive and soon, we were on the road. He didn’t even bother to compliment my looks but I didn’t stress myself on it. I shouldn’t have expected him to compliment me in the first place.

“You look stunning by the way.”
