"I really can"t compare," Hayley pouted upon seeing Amber out of the elevator.She was wearing a deep blue one shoulder dress. It reached until her knee and the design was that of the stars in the galaxy.
After their talk two days ago, it was Jacqueline who gave them the dress for the upcoming birthday party. Both were limited edition dresses. Though simple a lot of young ladies all over the world are vying for it.
The first dress that Hayley chose was thrown out by Jacqueline before she gave her a light pink tube dress with a shawl to pair with. The inner were until her mid thigh while the outer layer which was a see through reached her calf.
Even Alissa who was not going to the party was still given a dress. It was a long sleeve off shoulder long dress. Though she still has no idea where she could use such beautiful dress.
With no make up, the two ladies were dress up enough to bring out their beauties. Especially Amber who has skin as white as snow which gave the dress more brilliance as if it was truly the galaxy itself.
"Come on, stop day dreaming, we still have a birthday party to attend. The guys are already outside waiting for us," Amber instead replied as she pulled Hayley out of the hotel after they bid Elloise and Alissa goodbye.
"Will they really be fine?" Elloise couldn"t help but ask.
"Don"t worry auntie, Amber have planned it all out already. They really didn"t need to stay until the end, for they will leave half way through. Let"s go now, we need to pack," Alissa replied with a meaningful smile.
Elloise knew she could trust Amber and knew she would be able to help Hayley face slap those ingrates who shunned them all these years.
At first she was skeptical when she was told that they would be leaving, the hotel was practically her child but then again it will be handled by someone better than her and she knows this was for the best of everyone.
They have also asked why Amber was staying behind and her reply was simple.
"I wouldn"t be able to create my company in the middle of all those big ones, but if I start here it would be faster. Plus it is still not time for me to show up. I can only leave it to you guys to watch everything over there."
With that, no one asked any longer. They knew she has her own plans, they could only wait until she herself returns to the country where everything began for her.
"I say, you really look different from the young you. And I couldn"t match the two of you at all," Blake said as they drove to the villa of the Phillips.
"It"s because of the medicine that I ended up having all these changes, but there are still similarities between me and my mother when she was of my age. If my appearance didn"t change, aunt Jacqueline would have seen through me already," Amber replied nonchalantly.
The five of them rode a limousine while Carl was the one driving.
"Could you be nervous?" she then asked upon seeing Hayley silently sitting.
"Of course I am, I hated all those people over there. I really didn"t want to go," Hayley replied.
"Don"t worry, the only reason you will be going was to see how shameless they are and show them that you are no longer the you when you were still a kid."
Hayley nodded but still felt nervous, she grew up under their eyes full of mock and ridicule. She could only breath when her father would be home or when she would visit the hotel.
Yet who would have thought that her father would actually abandon them once a son was born.
"I really hate sons," she suddenly blurted out, forgetting that there are four son inside the car.
Amber suddenly laughed upon hearing this, "Have you talked with your half younger brother? You know he might be different though, plus he didn"t chose to be born within a messed up family, give him a break will you."
"Sometimes I wonder if you really are younger than us, it feels like you are way older when you speak," Blake said as they listen to the two ladies.
"You"re just too childish that"s why," she replied with a shrug, teasing him.
"You"re abnormal, that is why," Blake rebuked, being called childish by someone younger than you, leaves an sour feeling.
Amber once again laughed, today she really looks so carefree. She has no care in the world and was just here to watch a wonderful show.
"Anyway what are your plans? You really aren"t attending to wish them a happy birthday right? You even dragged us here, especially him," Devon finally asked as he pointed at Ashton with his chin, who had his eyes closed and was silent all these time.
Amber looked at Ashton before she shrugged, "Their first embarra.s.sment would be when we arrive, you guys should step out first after they have this feeling of accomplishment that they were able to invite the young master"s who were currently the most handsome. We will step out."
Amber this time smiled sweetly but Blake, Devon and Hayley felt chills run down their spines with this smile. It was so sweet, so sweet that it felt like it was hiding all its poison.
"Well as for the other one which would be the highlight, we"ll just wait until it arrives," her smile became even sweeter.
"You look creepy, especially since majority of your appearance looks like that of a doll," Hayley couldn"t help but say as she looked at Amber.
"That is why that woman shouted so loudly remember?" Amber replied.
The whole car was then filled with laughter, they will never forget how Lily jumped out of fright and shrieked as if it was already the end of the world. At the same time, they would never forget Amber"s look.
With the flickering of the lights, she was really scary back then.
They also found out that the flickering was also her doing, with just her phone she was able to hack through the system and created such a scene.
"I"m really wondering just how good you are at programming," Devon then commented.
"I"m still improving," was her reply as the car stopped.
It was in the open garden so everyone could see when the guests would arrive. After the limousine stopped, obviously it caught a lot of people"s attention.
Most arrived with their cars, limited or not, but this was the only one who arrived with a limousine.
A lot of ladies almost stopped breathing upon seeing Blake, Devon and Ashton stepped out of the car one after another.
"My, to think that they were able to invite the Parker and Thomas young master"s. And despite only being the young master of the owner of University A, that young master"s looks was enough to defeat the other two."
"Indeed, these three young men have looks that could put most of the prominent figure in the country to shame."
"If I don"t speak with them today, I"d kill myself."
"I heard it was the daughter of the miss that invited them."
"That"s right she was also studying at University A in Fas.h.i.+on Design Department."
"She must have spoke with them in school already."
"They also said that she had invited someone of great name for her grandfather."
"My, such a filial child. The miss must have been proud. And she was even able to marry the young master of Brown family."
"Well atleast the son was able to wake up and divorce that poor wife of his. The Phillips family only have those two children, they should know who to choose."
As per normal, comments and gossips were done between the guests as the three young men stood beside the limousine. Lily who was the only child of the daughter of the Phillips family, was so happy that they came.
She didn"t notice how these three were actually with her cousin back in the mall. So currently she has her head held high as she accepted the compliments being thrown at her.
"I-"
But just as she opened her mouth to welcome the three of them, Ashton bent down to take Amber"s hand as she step out.
Gasps could be heard after she came out and Lily"s face was twisted. It was that doll back in the mall.
Next, Blake and Devon bent down to take Hayley"s hands as she stepped out last.
This time not just simple gasps were heard but within it were obvious shock.
"Isn"t she the daughter of the master"s son?"
"How is she acquainted with the young masters?"
"Wasn"t it the young miss who invited them? How come they came as her date?"
Hearing all these and seeing how Lily"s face twist even more gave Hayley more confidence as she smiled. Putting her hands on Devon and Blake"s arm.
They then walked in, where her grandfather, father and his mistress, auntie and her husband, were standing.
"I greet the master of the house a happy birthday," Hayley greeted without much emotion on her voice, as if she was doing it just because it was his birthday.
And of course her appearance shocked her father"s side of the family.
