Chapter Five

Audrey stared at herself in the full mirror, the dress clung to her body like a second skin, her breats seems to be threatening to burst out of the dress, it was fitted, just the  chest area was tighter.

Ethan's face turned red when she walked out, he struggled to take his eyes off her, the chest area especially.

Audrey," Do you think it's too much?" She watched his dumbstruck expression when she stood in front of him, his cologne wrapped around her nostril, she stared into his eyes, her innocent expression turning seductive undertone.

Ethan," I should get a coat if you are uncomfortable"

Audrey," it's fine, it's just... Can you help me put this on" she handed him a silver necklace and turned around putting her hair out of the way, she left it in it natural copper colour.

Ethan gingerly put the necklace around her pale slender neck, his hand shaking, he was feeling funny down his groin area.

Ethan," Done"

Audrey," thank you"

Ethan," let's go"

Ethan led the way not wanting to stay behind her, he couldn't promise he won't be staring at her ass all the way.

****

The hall was big, too big that Audrey could feel her head spinning as she look around, she held Ethan's arm as she tried to calm herself, she could feel eyes on her, envious, curious all sort of emotions directed towards her. Ethan pick up two glasses of champagne and held out one to her.

Audrey," Would grandfather be here?" She spoke up trying to start a conversation to let go of nervousness.

Ethan," yes, if you feel uncomfortable we can go to the balcony to get some air"

Audrey," I can hold on a little longer" she assured.

A middle aged man walked towards them, his eyes trained on Audrey.

"Young Master Lincoln"

"Mr Seb" Audrey could feel the man's lustful gaze on her.

Men are ....

"Young Master Lincoln, can you introduce me to this beauty?" Mr Seb said, Ethan could feel the underlying tone, his expression turning stern, he hoped his grandfather would come sooner.

"Mr Seb, this is Audrey Joe, my girlfriend and..." He turned to Audrey pulling her closer " Babe, this is Mr Sebastian Cornell, CEO of Whites Computer "

"Huh! Whites Computer! It's nice to meet you " Audrey couldn't hide her excitement on hearing about her best computer company.

"Yes, it's my pleasure to meet you too"

" I have been longing to get version 7.5.6 of your iPad, hope it will be available soon"

"It should be soon, I never knew you are a computer enthusiast "

"There is much about me you don't know, I mean we just met, but I really love your computers" Audrey raised her glass to him and their glasses clinked, Audrey took a gulp, internally blaming herself for saying too much to some she just met, worse still leaving Ethan out of the conversation.

" Here's my card, we could know more about eachother with that " Mr Sebastian said as he handed her an exquisite golden card and walked away.

More people came to have chitchat with Ethan while Audrey had more champagne.

" That's enough, you will get drunk" Ethan took away the new glass she had picked from the tray passing, his tone was stern.

"I can hold it well" she countered trying to reach out for the glass but Ethan pulled her away.

"Behave!"

"Behave? Where's that coming from? I'm just trying to drink "

"I'm sorry" he murmured realising he was getting out of character.

"What's wrong? You are suddenly so.... Sour?"

"I don't like the way he was looking at you" He confessed.

"Who?"

"Mr. Seb"

Audrey," I'm used to such people, but I sincerely like his company's products so let him go"

Ethan," the card?" He held out his hand.

Audrey sighed at his antics but gave him the card, she had memorised everything on it anyways, Ethan definitely didn't know who she was....

***

Jordan Van Arthur stared at her jade-like face from across the hall, watching her gulp down champagne glasses, her cheeks rudy that made him wondered if that's how she will look under him.... Her lips setting into a slight pout as the Young Master Lincoln took away her new glass of champagne, he looked away.

The party was getting boring for him but his plans has to go through, he looked around, at his pawns, giving the hall a last glance, he walked back to his condo.

***

Audrey was drunk, but one could hardly notice, her drunken habits are weird ones, she wanted to get rid of her undies, they were beginning to get uncomfortable.

"I want to use the restroom" she informed Ethan.

"I will walk you..."

"Young Master Lincoln" a slightly rough voice called stopping Ethan from going after Audrey.

Audrey walked around the hallway but didn't see the restroom or more like she was too drunk to realise she had just passed the restroom area.

RESTRICTED AREA

"A restroom finally" she sighed and walked towards the ' restroom ' the elevator door opened and she walked in.

Jordan wondered who had stopped the elevator, this is his personal one, even his shadow crew couldn't just use it unless it's emergency, the door opened and she walked in, her hair out of the ponytail holder, he heard her sigh as she sat on the floor to pull off her heels, her small feets and flexed them.

"I hate bougie parties!" Her voice came out totally annoyed.

"But I hate lacy undies more!" She tried to reach for her dress zipper by the side, her gestures weak and slurry.

Jordan has never found anything so interesting in his life, having waited for her all these years, she walked into his arms herself, he could easily keep her to himself and never let her out but knowing her, she wouldn't be pleased, she is like a bird, she loves freedom.

He watched her silently, without taking off his eyes for once, just then the elevator dinged and opened.

"Oh... It's an elevator? The restroom should be close by then" she mumbled to herself and stood up, not forgetting to pick up her heels and clutch bag, Jordan couldn't hold back his smile on seeing how she walked out, on her toes without her heels touching the ground, if Allen was present, he will now down to Audrey for the feat she just achieved.

She made The Jordan Van Arthur smile, like a smile with his well arranged dental out in display, his dimples deepened further enhancing his good features.

He watched her fumbled with a tiny device and soon the door to his condo was unlocked, he slowly followed her in.

"Such a big restroom, bougies like to waste money" she clicked her tongue, one wouldn't know she was dead drunk with how she talked.

She finally pulled out her bra and panties, Jordan could hear her breath out of relieve, she left the undies on the sofa and laid down, totally black out.

Jordan took the undies away into his walk-in closet, like a precious medal, he kept it among his underwears.

He could be weird too........

He called for two of his shadow crew, the two buff men dressed in black, face covered from head to toe.

"Take her back to the hall, to Ethan Lincoln, make sure she's safe"

***

Ethan was panicking, he couldn't find her! He roamed about the restroom area with no sign of Audrey, his bodyguards are also everywhere looking for her, just then someone tapped him, he turned back to see Audrey in a man's arm, totally out, her hand clutching her clutch tightly.

"Where ..."

"Take good care of your guest, young Master Lincoln" a mechanical voice resounded behind his ear, one of his bodyguards took Audrey from the black clothed man.

Ethan was thankful that nothing had happened to her, he was angry at her for going away from his sight but he was more angry at himself for letting her get drunk, he would never forgive himself if anything has happened to her.
