Chapter 15 - The Dress
''Miss, Ma Lee wants to see you. '' A maid approached Tiana as she stepped down from the car; she remembered that Nicklaus had told her to get ready, so she followed the maid; Ma Lee was sitting on a couch in the living room, immediately she saw Tiana come in, she stood up;
''Follow me. '' She commanded and Tiana followed, walking behind her carefully;
Tiana was taken to her room; but she could barely recognize it, many clothes heaped on her bed; by the side, she saw boxes of shoes, handbags, purses, pieces of jewelry to name a few; there were two lavishly dressed people in the room; a man and a lady;
As soon as the door opened, they turned towards their direction;
''Is she the one? '' The man who had his hair styled like a woman's asked; Ma Lee nodded and gestured Tiana to move forward; satisfied that she had done her part, she left the room, closing the door behind her.
''Well, good day sweetheart, I'm a makeup artist and she is a fashion designer, we are one of the best in America and we are at your service today. It's a pleasure meeting you. ''
The man said with a girlish smile as he brought out his hand for a handshake; Tiana looked at the hand and shook it lightly, but she did not respond;
''All right! Time for business; our Boss says he wants you to look your best today; we got some beautiful dresses for you, you try them; ''
He explained, pointing towards the bed;
Tiana sighed as the lady picked up a blue gown and gave it to her, there were a total of five dresses on the bed;
''Start with this. ''She said as she handed the dress over, Tiana went into the bathroom and put it on; when she came out the two of them were sitting on the sofa waiting for her;
''How is it? '' She asked; although the dress was too tight, she didn't want to protest;
''Not bad, but try this one; '' She gave Tiana a pink gown;
''Tell me if you need a hand in there. '' She said, and Tiana nodded;
When Tiana came out, the lady's eyes caught a red gown that what sticking out from the pile that Tiana had not worm; she immediately pulled it out and raised it up;
''Wow! Look at this; I think it'll be perfect; the color is so matching your flawless skin! ''
She immediately threw Tiana the gown, and she caught it before it hit her face;
''I think you'll need a hand on that one, '' She said and followed Tiana into the bathroom;
In the next five minutes, they stepped out;
''Wow! Wow! ''
The girlish man who was sitting on the seat with his legs crossed couldn't help but exclaim;
Tiana looked so drop-dead gorgeous in that red dress; it was a long gown with a small train; it had a low neckline which showed a sumptuous amount of her beautiful boobs; the dress was held to her body by some spaghetti straps which went all the way to the back, covering some miniature portions of her back, which was left bare by the low V cut of the body tight gown;
Tiana had a beautiful curve which became more defined by the gown; she looked very beautiful;
''Which modeling company did you say you were working with again? ''
The makeup asked; she was so stunning that he mistook her to for a model; only models could have such looks and body;
''I knew I got the right dress! Just look at you, you look like sex on heels; I bet the Boss won't let his eyes off you when he sees you. ''
The lady exclaimed, still relishing the wonderful sight.
Her statement made Tiana smile; nothing of that nature would happen because the said boss does not like women. Although she knew this, she didn't want to say it out loud; she just let out a small smile;
''And I have the perfect shoes for this gown! ''
The lady exclaimed as she went to the shoes and searched through them; when she found what she was looking for, she opened the box and took it out; it was a pair of nude heels, and as she had said, it matched perfectly with the gown on her body.
''Yes! This is it, I just hope it's your size.'' She said and squatted in front of her, helping her with the sandal straps, and luckily it was Tiana's size.
''Wow! Wow! I deserve some accolades for this, just look at that!''
She smiled brightly as she admired Tiana.
''Alright, we've gotten your dress and shoes, the jewelry is no problem, just leave them up to me.''
''We still have about two hours to six, so we'll leave you to get your shower and apply your lotion but do not touch your face; leave that to me. ''
The man said with a slight wink and he stood up;
''Okay. '' She said as she watched them leave the room after they had gone; she locked the door and walked to the large mirror in the room.
Truly, she was stunning in that dress, but she wished she was wearing them for Adrian and not for some wicked and heartless man, who derived joy in other people's sadness.
