CHAPTER 10

Isabella POV

I said, "Come on in." I called while wearing the other leg of my black stiletto heels and securely fastening the buckle. The red outfit that young master had ordered for me fit like a second skin and looked stunning on me. It appeared as though his creator understood my body measurement. Given that it was off the shoulder, I already had a Jean jacket in my black bag just in case I became sick later.

"Young master sai," Coming in, Genevieve began.

"Oh, let him know I'm coming," I responded, my eyes enlarging. Even though I looked at the time, it wasn't quite five. Oh, good, it wasn't me holding us up. He might have wanted us to arrive there earlier.

Are you accompanying the young master? Her big smile immediately covered up the slight tremble in her voice that I had observed.

The answer is "Yes, I am."

"Oh."

She appeared discouraged. She had a huge crush on the young master, just like hundreds of other girls, and she would frequently say that their names were similar. Since he was Alexander and she was Genevieve, she calculated that the young master was her "destined man."

I sat down and finished applying my minimal makeup, which consisted of only foundation, powder, a little concealer, highlighter, eye pencil, and red lipstick. I then rolled my eyelashes to lengthen and straighten them.

Since the young master stated it made me appear smart, I had already used a hair straightener to straighten and curl the tips of my hair. His response was also well received by me. I had recently had it cut at the salon near my school, where I regularly went with Liam, so it was close to my shoulders when it reached my back. This made things easier.

I applied a small amount of my two scents, Musk and seduction, and donned my hanging gold earrings and necklace. Then, after giving myself a good look in the mirror, I concluded that I was ready to go.

Genevieve was staring at me and appeared to be bewildered when I turned back and was on the verge of yelling. I walked over to her.

"Genevieve?"

"Genevieve?" She was still gazing off into nowhere as I muttered once more. I raised an eyebrow as I gave her a cheek touch and she jerked back.

"Yes?"

"Go on, then. My room is secured. Since moving into my hostel, I had grown accustomed to this. Nevertheless, it was my room, and mom had a spare key in case she needed it.

I'm sure, "Oh sure."

The seriousness of my predicament became apparent as we left my room and I locked the door. I was accompanying the young master personally to an occasion. What would occur on our journey there? I inhaled slowly while exhaling as I rubbed my palms together and blew air on them. I entered the kitchen after quickly descended the stairs.

"Mama?" She instantly made a U-turn. She was folding an apron when it collapsed, and she covered her mouth with her palm.

Gesu (Jesus), I was starting to believe you were a time waster, but it was worth the time you spent in there. Despite rolling my eyes, I laughed.

The question "How do I look?" I gently made my way around.

Just like you are, baby, a princess who is now becoming someone's queen. I felt my cheeks flush as she expressed awe.

"Oh, I appreciate it, Madré. So that Liam won't scorch me, kindly assist me in taking a few shots.

I recognize that Adrie from what you said. I nodded as Mama gushed while smiling wryly. I gave her my phone and she took pictures as I posed for her.

Are you out, young master? I questioned as I reviewed the photos and deleted the ones that weren't good. Behind me, someone suddenly cleared their throat, and it was none other than the young master. I carefully turned to face him, undoubtedly letting my surprise at how unbelievably fantastic he appeared through my eyes.

He had a dashing, attractive, and intimidating appearance that would make women submit to him at the sound of his order. His suit was a deep shade of black, showing a white tee underneath, and his suit pants gracefully cascaded down to his feet, which were fitted with black Italian shoes. He took a position that was equally formidable.

I briefly turned to face him again just to see his eyes on me. Along with the fact that he appeared to have shaved, he had his hair neatly brushed back, giving him a really endearing appearance to add to the menu.

"We should leave now," Speaking, he said.

My senses were perked up. As he spoke, his deep voice had me on edge and making me want to escape into a corner.

Did he see that I was eyeing him up? It was only fair because he was acting similarly. Ha! I wish. He wasn't spying on me.

Like he was used to doing with his laser beams called eyes, he was undoubtedly attempting to drill a hole in my garment.

How could I continue riding in the same vehicle as him? Why did I behave that way only when we were together? I had to quit doing that right now. He was a person, just like anyone else. He was just unique because young, attractive men rarely went about their daily lives.

Did I just say that he was handsome? Oh my! I shouted inside.

Shh. My mind whispered, presumably trying to calm me down but I would still react, "You didn't call him handsome."

His focus was still on me, and he maintained the same casual appearance. Mama kept working as if the young master had the ultimate say. Not even a second glance was spared for me. I suppose mom had faith in him to protect me. He kept glaring, though!

Despite being conscious that he was watching me, I walked to mother and pecked her before going to get my handbag from the counter. I was only a little uncomfortable and anxious after that. He was the only person I knew in the place I was headed.

"Bambina, remember what I said." Mama dialled. I nearly rolled my eyes, but I nodded regardless. We went outside.

He gave me a Lamborghini and opened the door to one of his opulent vehicles. I was astonished that he didn't simply walk away to the other side, but I kept a straight expression. He crossed to the other side and drove away before I could say anything.

Why was my heart pumping so quickly?

Not that I was going to be murdered tonight, anyway.

Now let's begin...
