5) Backstabbing

Author's POV

"Wow Rose you look fabulous..."

Lilly said proudly at her work...

Rose tied the gun Holster around her thigh along with her dagger and covered it perfectly under her long gown..

"Thanks..."

Rose replied and head downstairs...

"God ! Why is this girl always so serious, why does she never smiles..."

Lilly mumbled behind her...

Damian was standing in the living room in his usual dark black suit waiting for Rose, when he saw her coming downstairs his breath hitched, she was looking so sexy and beautiful in her white gown, it hugged her curves perfectly, her milky white skin was glowing under the bright lights. His eyes lingered shamelessly on the specific parts of her body.

Standing in front him She cleared her throat and brought him out from his la la land...

He awkwardly cleared his throat fixing his tie, embarrassed that she caught him staring at her long sexy legs which were clearly on the view due to the slit on the gown...

He looked at jack and jack was still gawking at her with opened mouth, stunned by the beauty standing in front of him. Lilly came downstairs quickly after Rose, she saw jack staring at Rose and no matter how much she tries to ignore it she always feel jealous whenever jack gives his attention to other girls, she doesn't understand why...

"Jack..."

Damian's strong voice brought him back from his trance...

He smiled awkwardly scratching the back of his neck...

"You look stunning Rose..."

He said, Rose thanked not giving him much attention making Lilly sigh in relief...

Damian placed his hand on her waist making her stiffen under his touch, she looked at him but he was looking straight. She ignored the unfamiliar feeling she felt under his touch and composed herself, leading her towards the car he opened the door for her and gestured her to get in like a gentleman. Rose and Damian were sitting in the back while jack was driving the car...

They reached the venue, without paying much attention to the media and Paparazzi he entered the hall with Rose, his hand was resting on her waist, everyone's eyes locked on them when they saw this stunning couple walking through the big wooden door. All the women were looking at Damian with lust and hatefully at Rose. Damian noticed many men staring at Rose lustfully, and his hold on her waist tightened unknowingly. He didn't understand if Rose was unaware of all the attention she was getting or she was deliberately ignoring it, her face was calm and composed, unaffected by the surroundings and stares she was getting. It was extremely hard for him to read her face, he was too good at reading people but this girl was a challenge for him.

Damian was talking to some of his business partners and Rose was standing beside him, instead of enjoying the party, drinking and showing off her lavish dress, she was only focused on Damian's surroundings, looking for any kind of threat...

"Who is this beautiful lady, Mr. Knight?..."

One of his business partner asked him, looking at her...

"She is Rose, Rose meet Mr. Samuel Smith..."

Damian introduced them with each other...

"How do you always manage to attract stunning ladies, Damian..."

Samuel said chuckling, he held his hand in front of her for handshake but instead of shaking he brought her hand to his lips and placed a gentle kiss on it...

He asked her for dance and Rose looked at Damian asking for his permission through eyes, Damian understood and nodded at her positively...

Samuel took her hand and lead her towards the stage where few couples were dancing.

"So you work for Damian?..."

He asked resting his hands on her waist as they swayed on the music...

"Yes..."

She confirmed...

"How much is he paying you?"

He asked making her frown...

"I don't think it's any of your business..."

She replied back in cold tone...

"Ohh no, I didn't meant to offend you young lady, I was just curious..."

" Come to the point..."

She said looking at him...

"Straightforward, I like it, Well I can pay you more than him, if you do one small thing for me..."

Smith said smirking...

"And what's that?..."

She glanced at the Damian who was still talking with some men.

"So, are you saying yes..."

He asked amused...

"Depends on what it is..?"

She said not taking her eyes of from Damian...

"You have to steal important files from Damian's office for me..."

He said handing her a pendrive...

"Transfer all the data in this pendrive from his computer. I will transfer the money in your account..."

"How much?..."

She asked giving him all her attention...

"10 million dollars..."

He replied smirking...

"I want 20, it's risky..."

She demanded...

He raised his eyebrows amused...

"Fine, but I want it tomorrow..."

"Consider it done..."

She replied smirking....
