chapter 36

I was out of my joy when I saw him. "Aisha.""Are you okay Chris?" I asked him."Take me out of this. I don't want to be here. Please. She has locked me." Chris said.I nodded and was about to say as he interrupted, "Aisha. Come here in the morning she is here. Bye." He said and ran inside. "Hey... Say something. Are you okay? Is he okay? Send me the Hotel name. I willbe there my tomorrow." Ashton's voice went inside my ears. I hummed back."What did he say? Did she hurt him?""He said he was okay. And then ran inside saying to come here in morning." I muttered in an unhappy and surprised tone.He sighed and then said, "I will book tickets today and will attend the event with you tomorrow.""Yeah." I said in worried tone. I was worried about Chris. What if Luna hurt him?"It's okay Aisha. I will be there by tomorrow. Take a good rest." He said understanding my mind with my tone."Actually it was so sudden. I never expected him to be here. I think Luna didn't had any idea about the event." I spoke still looking at the empty balcony. "No. She just didn't had idea about your stay. I hope she never gets it." He said trying to console me. He continued, "Don't worry. And stay focused about the event. You know you are going to be the Sunbeam's representative."I hummed and then hung up. Sudden voice shattered me, "Aisha."I turned to voice it was Kaela. She was at the balcony door. I smiled at her. She came to me. We talked for sometime and went inside. ***I got up from the bed before the time. Before getting ready I checked from the balcony if there was any sign of Chris. It was so early until I heard a doorbell. I went to the door and turned on the screen. I saw Ashton. I immediately opened the door and hugged him. He caressed my hairs. I cried on his shoulder. I was trying my best to control those tears but it was so difficult holding them for whole night. Finally when I released him, I showed him the room where I saw Chris. We came inside the room when Kaela was in the bathroom. "I think you should stay and see when Luna comes out from there." I said. He nodded. When Kaela came out she was shocked to see Ashton. I explained her that he is going to join the event with us. And I got fresh. It was social event so I chose to wear a black knee length dress with a blazer and ribbon over my neck. When I came out Ashton wasn't there. I stepped out from the room and saw him talking in the screen. When he sensed me he said, "Luna just left." I nodded and peeked through the camera. "Hey Chris? Are you okay? We missed you." I said. "Yeah Aisha. I'm fine. She won't come for the day. We need to plan something." The voice came from inside. We nodded. We didn't knew what to do now. So we thought to head to the event. Ashton kept assuring me that he will handle it all over. As soon as we reached, the paparazzi's surrounded us. I never thought that paparazzi are interested in me too. Isn't it quite unusual? I was about to run inside with Kaela as one of the reporter came infront of me and said, "Ma'am, I heard you are Sunbeam's representative. Can you give us some answers?" I was awkward for a while but I nodded hesitantly. "Is Mr. Ashton not attending today's event?" Reporter asked."He is attending." I uttered. "Is Luna Adelson dating Mr. Ashton in real?" Other one asked.It made my body stiffened as my jaw tic. I finally spoke, "I think it's good if you ask him directly. We are employees so we aren't aware about it.""But ma'am you seem special to him." Someone cuts me. "You are sent here as representative and then you were spotted with him. Is he cheating on Luna with you?" It made me step back. Kaela held my shoulder trying her best to calm me down. As the other voice came from behind, "I know that I never accepted my relationship with Luna infront of media. Isn't it clear?" The crowd ooh'ed after that. "By the way, Mr Ashton, we heard you don't stay with your family like your brothers. Can we know the reason?" A female reporter asked. She looked confident. I think someone has paid them."Isn't it my life? Or should I consider you guys to decide where I should stay?" Ashton said. Wow. He is savage infront of media. But these guys won't stop."Mr. Ashton, does this mean that you don't love your parents?" The another male reporter asked him again. "I think many of you guys have moved out from your parent's house for your growth and development. Does this meant you didn't loved your parents?" Ashton replied again. Ashton was on fire today. I hoped Chris would be here to watch this."Their is Luna. Let's go." One of them shouted. Everyone turned the side where the guy spotted. Luna was just getting off her car. She smiled looking at Ashton. As Ashton smirked. Wow. My boyfriend looks more handsome with his smirk. We reached inside. I was surrounded by everyone until the program finally started. Every brand's representative were called on stage to appreciate their capabilities. One by one everyone went on the stage. Luna's assistant, Frederick Forbes from Herbes, Calvin Klein, and many others. Finally they announced my name, "Aisha Simpson from Sunbeam Fashions!" And now I was noticed by everyone. It was awkward, as everyone were looking at me. And I could hear some guys complementing. I got up from the seat and went to stage. They gave me a Lily bouquet. It was quite unusual to receive lilies in events. But I accepted it with a smile. Anchor asked me to speak some words about my experience. I nodded and went infront of the mic. I was prepared but seeing lots of people infront of me made me scared. I searched for Ashton. When I found him he blinked making me feel relieved. I took a deep breathe and said, "Thanks for this warm welcome. Myself Aisha Simpson, and I have been working in Sunbeam as a designer since six months. I never expected that I will get such a beautiful chance to be known as Sunbeam's representative. But it's all because of my colleagues, media, and Sunbeam's support. Thanks a lot!" Finally I finished it and walked out from the stage. Again walking through so many famous people made me awkward. Ashton, Luna, Kaela gave me a casual hug. After the program and felicitation everyone's scattered. We had a meal, while meeting many people. Many of them complementing and asking about company. Some of them tried to approach me to know about my personal life. But I avoided them as much as possible. Finally it was time to leave. It was 4 PM when we came back to Hotel. Kaela went to rest so we got time to apply our plan now. "Are you ready? Baby?" He said hissing in my ears when we were standing infront of reception of the Hotel. "Yup. All the best." I said. I went to reception and asked on receptionist."Yes ma'am how can I help you?" A receptionist asked."I haven't received my breakfast since morning." I said out loudly."So sorry ma'am. What's your room number?""211""Ma'am please wait. I will check it for you." She said."What wait? Should I have my breakfast now? How can you be so careless?" I screamed attracting everyone. The other receptionist and waiters were all distracted. So this was our plan to steal extra keys from the bunch which was hanging near the reception. Ashton moved forward to the table. "Ma'am please wait. Let me check out this." The receptionist was already panicked. She typed something on the keyboard. I saw Ashton trying to take out bunch of keys but another receptionist was standing there who can surely see him directly."If you can't check it immediately ask to others." I shouted and then pointed to the girl who was infront of Ashton. "Ask her to do. Or all of you are useless?"Finally I was successful to distract her. She came walking to me as Ashton grabbed the chance and took the keys in his hand.Plan 1 Success👍🏻___________________________________________
