Chapter 68
Chapter 68
It was 7 pm and people had started to trickle in . I looked through the stage curtains to see tables had filled up and people were walking around mixing and mingling . Seth and I had just finished sorting through all the donated items that were going to auctioned here tonight .
“ I’m going to tell you again , girl you look fine . ” Seth said for the 5th time as he moved stuff around on the table .
“ Thanks , Seth . You don’t need to keep telling
me
you
know . ” I laughed .
“ Oh I know , but after you go out there , others will so I’m getting a head start . I do have a question though ” He rubbed his chin and narrowed his eyes at
“ That gorgeous ring on your finger , is that just a fake piece of jewellery to match your dress is there a reason you’re wearing it on that particular finger ? ”
After I had taken my top off , I was very aware that the ring was obvious . I flipped the diamond around and kept my left hand hidden in my dress so Sarah and Lilly didn’t notice it . However , in the last hour , I had to use my left hand a lot and I knew Seth would see it .
“ Rosy , Blake is here . He’s looking for you out the front . ” Claire walked over to us . She was one of Seth’s staff . Thank god for Claire .
“ Okay , thank you . Gotta go , Seth . Thank you once again for the amazing job you’ve done . I’ll see you a little later on . ” I grabbed my clutch straighten my dress . I was just going to ignore Seth’s question .
I took a deep breathe in and looked towards the corridor . Here goes nothing .
I walked around the back of the stage and down the side corridor towards the main foyer . As I got closer I could see a sea of people talking to each other . I looked around trying to find Blake or any of the Coopers . I heard my name and turned around to find Emily .
“ Rosy , wow you look amazing . ” She said giving me a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek .
“ Come on , they are all down here ” she grabbed my hand and towed me to the other end of the foyer .
Sue was the first to come into view . Next to her was Nate . Sue had a black cocktail dress on that was hugging her figure . It had one of queen anna necklines with black beads around the bottom .
“ Mum , look who I found , ” Emily said getting everyone’s attention .
“ Ahh Rosy . Look at you , sweet heart ! Absolutely stunning . You my girl are going to be breaking hearts tonight . Oh , here I have something for you . ” She pulled out a long jewellery box from her purse and handed it to me ,
I opened it and in the cushion sat a gorgeous diamond necklace . It was all little diamonds end to end . Before I could say anything , Emily grabbed the necklace and put it around my neck .
“ Oh , no no . Sue , I can’t take this . It’s very generous of you but I can not accept it ”
“ Yes , you can . It was my mother’s and I was told to hand it down . So , it’s yours now . Besides , it goes so well with your dress . ” She took the box from my hands and put it back in her bag .
“ Rosalie , you look gorgeous Hunny . Blake is one lucky asshole ” Nate said and walked over to give me a side hug .
“ Thank you , Nate . Thank you , Sue . I really don’t deserve this necklace though . ” I touched the diamonds with my fingers and prayed I was dreaming .
“ Nonsense . It looks beautiful on you . Totally fitting ” Emily said and smiled at me .
“ Mum , I can’t fin -… ” Blake finally appeared / He did a double take when he realised I was standing next to his sister .
I gave him a big smile as I watched his eyes scan me . I felt self conscious as his heated gaze burned holes into me . His eyes travelled from the bottom of my dress all the way up to my face . His beautiful blue eyes had disappeared and those dark orbs had returned . Blake had forgotten we were surrounded by people and he shamelessly stared at me . Looks like my plan worked .
