His Cure

Amelia deepened her eye before stroking her chin.

“Destruction?. How so?”

“I already gave lopez my word. Amelia, you also know your father is a man of his word. I would rather have eggs thrown at me than back out on my promise.”

Amelia scoffed.

Isn’t he simply brutal?

Even if that decision could hurt his son?.

She already believed their dating is not a lie.

“I see.”she hummed.

“Well, then. We will see when we see.”she sighed.

“You mean you came all the away here just to ask me that question?.”Henry jeered at her.

“No. I, infact, came here to see your face. I kind of missed you.”

Henry chuckled and elevated his brows at her.

“Would you like a hug then?, so as to make it worthwhile.”

“There would be no need for that.”Amelia faked a grin before sprinting out of his office.

Henry flickered his eyes, his two fingers on his jaw.

He just didn’t belief her words.

He looked over at where she sat and found none of his stuffs missing.

She came here to see him?.

What a good joke!

“So… she went with Alyssa and the other ladies to Las Vegas?”Harry repeated for the tenth time.

Gregory took his lips in without replying him.

He was just typing away on his computer.

Harry sighed and poked his arm.

“Come on, why don’t you want to talk to me?”

Gregory paused and turned to him.

“Why?”he scoffs.

“You’re eating me up by not saying anything. I want to hear your voice.”Harry blinked cutely.

“Is my personal assistant allowed to get this free when I, the boss is this busy?”

“Come on..”

“Don’t try to get cute with me. Return back to your office, Harry. It seems you’ve hit your head on the wall and that’s why you’re acting somehow today.”

“I was just asking a simple question.”

“A simple question you’ve asked a million times!”Gregory flared up.

Harry sighed before standing up.

“I will go to my office then.”

“Well, bye bye.”Gregory scoffed.

Harry stood still, not leaving.

Gregory grabbed the telephone.

“Get here now. I need you to throw a pesky man out of my office.”

Harry laughed before hightailing out of his office.

Gregory rolled his eyes before continuing his work.

When Beatrice and Alyssa were done eating, they called the kitchen and they came to clear the plates off.

“Do we rest a bit before going on a stroll?”Alyssa licked her lips.

“Forget about that. How many days are we using here?”Beatrice questioned instead.

“Three days at most, why?”

“Three days is a lot.”Beatrice sighed.

“Hm, you’re going to miss Gregory a lot then?”Alyssa teased.

“No way.”Beatrice rolled her eyes to the side.

“It’s because we’ve not started having fun. You will soon wish for the days to be longer.”

Beatrice gave a nod.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“We will leave after ten minutes.”Alyssa said.

“If you have stories to narrate, you can tell me.”she beamed.

Beatrice’s eyes shot up at her.

What?

“I.. don’t get.”her lashes flapped fastly.

“Gregory told me you like telling stories a lot.”

Beatrice scoffed – smiled.

“Did you just blush?”Alyssa pointed her pinky finger at her.

“No way! I think you saw wrong.”

“Yes way! Look at your ears getting all pink!”

“No.”Beatrice stood up and went to sit at another angle on the bed.

Alyssa stood up and ambled to where she was.

“I swear that was real though.”

Beatrice took a pillow and throw it at her.

“Just go away.”she breathed out.

The door opened with a loud bang and Winifred rushed inside.

“Beatrice!!”she called in excitement, running towards her.

Alysssa blocked her way and rolled her eyes.

“Why are you all giddy, Winifred?. Don’t tell me that you–”

Winifred stopped and flicked her hair back.

“Yes, I like Beatrice.”

“But you know she is dating Gregory! I hope you won’t land her in trouble again!”

“So?. Can’t girls double – date?. If it doesn’t work with Gregory, then she wouldn’t be so heartbreaking knowing she has another boyfriend.”

“Winifred!!!”Alyssa screamed.

“Oh, okay, okay, Alyssa.. that was a joke. I like her as my friend. I definitely won’t lust after her like I did the other day which didn’t ended well, you know.”

“Better. Just as friends.”

…

~Ten minutes later.

..

The trio walked out of Alyssa and Beatrice’s room, with Alyssa going to knock on the next three doors where Doreen, Jennifer and Olivia were, respectively, telling them it’s time to go out.

Olivia was the first one to come out, despite being the last one Alyssa had called.

She rolled her eyes when she saw Beatrice.

The others came out and they all headed out of the hotel.

“First, let’s go help Beatrice check out a wedding dress.”Alyssa puffed.

They drove to the best fashion house in different cabs.

Alyssa and Beatrice went together in the same cab.

They arrived at the house and walked inside.

The house was stunning and different beautiful dresses were being hung around.

Some were worn on the mannequins and some were simply displayed with hangers.

The place was incredibly huge.

It was rumoured that the owner of the house was a china woman.

They were directed to the wedding dresses section by an attendant.

The first one they saw was studded with crystal stones, and the upper part of the gown was made with net.

Beatrice shook her head.

They moved to another one and she shook her head.

They saw another one but she still wasn’t satisfied with it.

They moved with several of them with her moving her head in disapproval.

*This isn’t real. So, why am I looking for a perfect wedding dress?*she questioned herself.

She told herself that she would pick the next one, no matter if she likes it or not.

“Here, ma’am.”the attendant pointed to the dress and Doreen eyes popped out in admiration.

“You mean there’s a gorgeous wedding gown like this?!. I guess I should get married soon so I can don myself in a pretty gown like this.”she said aloud.

The others were wowed too.

They slowly turned their gazes to Beatrice.

“So….?”Alyssa drawled.

“So, I will take it!”she announced and they breathed in relief.
