Gorgeous

Brione took out her mobile and made some calls to her team as they headed towards the elevator. Lana was silent the entire time. She was amazed to see the down to earth and helping attitude of Brione, just so unlike that gloater who was extremely self possessed. 

Lana obediently followed her and let Brione bring her to a luxurious suite.

Brione, like what Lana heard, was a very approachable person. She could actually see Keira in her, but the only difference was Brione seemed to be too naïve unlike Keira and a bit clumsy as well because she would bump here and there while walking in a haste!

Inside the suite, Brione's team was already waiting for them to do her makeover.

"Alright guys, this is Lana and she had met with an accident in the party, so now I want you all to quickly give Lana a makeover. Make sure she looks so beautiful tonight that every man will drool over her." Brione instructed cheerfully with a wink. She sat on the couch and watched her team move quickly in choosing a gown for Lana.

"Oh, Lana, see that one in silver, I like that one for you… I haven't worn it yet and I think it will look good on you because of your long legs." Brione commented pointing towards a nude and silver fully embellished, dazzling long dress with a sweetheart neckline, shoulder straps, open back with beaded straps. 

The side of the dress had a high cut. All in all the dress was a gorgeous piece of work and the size was also looking perfect for Lana

"Go now, quick and change," Brione said and Lana picked up the dress and went to change. When she stepped out wearing that dress, everyone gasped in admiration. She heard mixed voices say the same word, "Wow…" 

Lana looked at her own reflection in the full size mirror and smiled with satisfaction. The high cut of the gown looked perfect on her curvaceous body. 

While Lana was busy scanning her curves fitted inside the dress, showing off one leg through that high cut, a flicker of admiration for herself passed through her own eyes.

She was about to turn to get her makeup and hair done when she heard a deep manly voice from behind her. 

"That's gorgeous… Looks sooo good… I think I bought that dress for you, right?"

The man looked at Brione after saying those words. Brione gave the man an awkward silly smile. 

"Big bro… Why are you here? I thought you couldn't make it." Brione muttered and signaled everyone to continue with the makeover of Lana.

Lana turned around and looked at the man's direction who looked quite familiar to her. 

"Oh right! You…" Lana exclaimed with eyes fixed to the man who winked at her and said, "Noah Yu at your service madam…"

"You two know each other?" Brione asked with a creased forehead.

"No!" Lana answered.

"Yes!" Noah answered.

"Huh?" Brione mumbled, confused, looking simultaneously at Noah and Lana.

"He bumped into my car..." Lana explained before sitting down for her makeup and hair. 

The makeup artists started their magic in Lana and the hair stylist also started putting Lana's hair in rollers and within just a couple of minutes she was ready for the party. 

Lana opened her eyes to get a full view of herself and was happy to see her perfect looks in the mirror. Brione arched her eyebrows and with a wide smile on her face she praised Lana's exquisite beauty in such minimal makeup. 

Noah's eyes were fixed on Lana's beautiful face and though he wanted to say a lot of words, everything just got stuck in his throat. All he could do was gulp and look at her in admiration.

Lana looked extremely beautiful and stunning with that added bit of makeup and hairdo that left a few strands hanging on her face while most of her long locks were tied back in a lazy bun giving her an evil, carefree and stunning look.

"Have you tried joining a beauty pageant?" One of Brione's hair stylists asked. 

"No… I can't stand crowds. I mean, I have stage fright…" Lana timidly answered. 

"Oh, but you are perfect for it, I believe." She added with an adoring look in her eyes, and Lana thanked her before getting up.

"Let's go back to the party, Lana." Brione said and encircled her arm around Lana's. But someone barged in at that moment and grabbed Brione.

"Why are you here Brione? I have been searching for you for the past 15 minutes… Come with me quick…" the woman said panting and pulled Brione with her who looked back at Lana and said, "See you at the party… I'll just answer some reporters."

Lana only nodded and watched Brione leave from the door dragged by her manager. 

"Let's go back there together then…" Noah said when he found his chance to talk to her directly. 

Then he gave her a good look from top to bottom and added, "By the way the gown seems to look better on you than it would look if Brione wore that." 

"Oh… I will return it to her unscathed or tell me from where you bought it so I can buy Brione a new one." Lana answered at the thought of the possibility for the gown to get ruined too and hence offered such.

"No, instead keep this dress as compensation for the mistake I committed." He smiled and jestsed.

Lana shook her head and smiled as well…

Noah then offered his arms to Lana which Lana hesitantly accepted and they ended up walking together back to the party. 

Meanwhile in the party, Liam looked around for Lana and panicked when he couldn't see her inside the function hall. He waited for her for a while thinking she might have gone to the restroom, but when she didn't appear for sometime he started feeling anxious.

The man she was talking with before very intimately was now chatting with a different group of people. This thing gave him a little bit of satisfaction as he was kind of uncomfortable with their intimacy, yet her absence was something making him worry for her. 

He brought his phone out to check if she left any message and to call her. As he started checking his phone he was suddenly startled when he felt the touch of a soft hand on his shoulder.

"Hello Atty. Sy…"
