I stand in front of the biggest mirror I've ever seen. Okay, actually this entire room surrounded by mirrors.

I'm wearing a set of nude panties and strapless bra, with Carly Lopez flaunting around some dress on me.

Meredith wearing her robe and sitting on the couch like a Cleopatra, nursing her margarita.

"Gosh. I always hate Geneva. I love Steven Hitchcock. He is a genius. But Geneva is..." Meredith rolls her eyes.

It's not nice to talk about other people, but Carly actually comes with an NDA, and she is Meredith's best friend in this Hollywood world of hers.

"So, what did Ethan say?" Meredith asks me.

"He told me about their history. Ethan went to some events with her. Their fathers are friends. After that, Geneva kept contacting Ethan and asked him to be his date on every occasion. And since Ethan was invited too, he would say yes. But nothing happened. He said," I say small.

Meredith stands up and comes closer to me. "Don't you dare to think you are less than her, Mads!"

"I don't know, Mer. She is so pretty."

"She is pretty, so what? I'm sure Ethan never saw her like he sees you. Even Tony and Drew make a bet on when he will proposing you."

"Excuse me?" I raise an eyebrow at Meredith, she is still grinning at me. What the hell?

"When it happens? You guys met up behind my back?"

"Nope, the last time we had dinner together with Ethan too, remember?" We had dinner together because I want my friends to get to know Ethan. We ended up with the guys talked endlessly. Ethan clicked so fast with Tony and Drew. And he cleared out everything with Meredith, too. I'm so happy my friends and Ethan can be friends. Ethan knows Drew and Tony before he met me, but they weren't that close. With Drew was more like they were in the same social circle. Ethan was Tony's client, later friend, but they weren't too close. Usually, their conversation was about business. And when they had lunch, it was a business lunch.

Before I can utter another word, Carly comes with a pretty soft gold sequins dress. It's a backless long dress. "Try this, Mads!" She helps me to wear the dress without waiting for my answer.

The dress wraps me perfectly, showing every delicious curve of mine, starting from my hips, ass, small waist to my boobs. The plunge neckline stops under my breasts. But hang perfectly to show only a glimpse of my cleavage, so I don't look like a hooker. The backless make sure that I can't wear my panties. The slit of the skirt stops around my upper thigh. It shows my long, trim leg. But if I make a big move, you can see my inner, so if I don't wear panties...

"I... I will go commando with this dress?" I stupidly ask Carly. And all she does is raising her perfectly shaped eyebrow at me.

Meredith is drooling over me. "Ethan will have a heart attack for sure! You sinfully delicious, Mads!" She says happily. I think she still wants some revenge on Ethan because he trapped her with Christian last time even though Ethan sent her a bottle of wine with a sorry card (Helen did that for him, so he can get another brownie point from me).

"Wear this Mads!" Meredith states, while Carly put a diamond necklace that rests perfectly between my boobs, earrings with a simple design (a 3 carats diamond in each ear) and gold bangle adorned with small diamonds.

"These are real diamonds, sweetheart. Take care, okay!"

"What!" I touch the diamond on my chest. This one is at least 5 carats. "I can't, Carl! What if I lost it? I can't pay you!"

"Nah, Mr. Hall already paid for these. They are yours," Carly says, Meredith smiles.

"What?!"

I'm done with my makeup and hairdo and I need to arrive early. So I leave first, the make-up artist still doing Meredith's makeup. She is planning to come just in time, so she still has some time.

My makeup looks perfect, my lips in a perfect red velvet shade. They tied my hair in a messy updo, with some tendrils falling perfectly around my face.

Carly and Meredith kept praising me. My confidence built inside me. I can't wait to see Ethan's reaction. He asked me to send some pictures, but I refused. I want it to be surprising.

The limousine is waiting for me in front of the studio. Ethan emerges from the car. His eyes travel from my head to toe. I can see the pupils darken with desire. The hazel eyes become more dark brown now. He loves what he sees.

He looks so handsome with his black tie outfit. He probably customized the suit from Italy. His hair is tousled, makes him look fresh and younger. He looks great with this style, too. I love his serious, enigma look he has in the office, but this, I love it too! Dang! I just love this man, no matter what. But the most beautiful are his expressions when he sees me. The love he has for me is palpable in his Hazel eyes.

"Hi." I smile at him.

He comes to me and holds my waist. "You bring lipstick with you?" He asks, his voice sounds so husky, as if he couldn't wait to claim me. I feel a delicious shiver run through my body.

"Yes... why—" he doesn't wait for me to finish my words. He kisses me thoroughly, ruins my lipstick, his hand squeezes my ass. I can feel his cock hard and since I'm wearing high heels, his cock nestles close to my pussy. God, I'm so hot right now.

Ethan pulls back and we both pant. "Fuck! How can I go through this night?" He curses and I laugh, wipe some lipstick from his lips.

"Behave, Mr. Hall" I tiptoe and whisper in his ear "I'm yours right after the charity." and I leave him there, sliding inside the limousine.

He follows me and sits next to me, his eyes on the edge of my slit skirt. He looks at his watch and at me. "The distance from here to the Roderick Malibu is around 40 mins." From his voice, I know he is so turned on. I look at him, bite my lower lip. I glance at the partition. It's already closed. Ethan's hand creeps inside my dress and I let out a low moan. I push his hand away. Before he can complain, I kneel in front of him, unbuckle his belt. I wink at him and start pleasuring my boyfriend.

We arrived in the Roderick Hotel Malibu. The press are outside ready to take a picture (or to blind us with the blitz, to be exact). This is far crazier than my time back then as an influencer. Meredith told me when there are a lot of blitzes, keep smiling. Do not look at the camera, just look at the carpet. Make sure you do not trip, or you can look lovey dovey with your date. In this case, with my lovely boyfriend. I asked Ethan to make sure I'm good after our sex in the car session earlier. Ethan said everything looks perfect except everyone can guess we just had sex because of the flush on our face. My face felt hot. And he signaled Jack to open the door right after he said his words. Damn you Ethan Hall! How can I cover my blush this fast!

Ethan holds my waist firmly. Maybe to make sure I'm not tripping and end the show. My knees are still a bit shaky from the orgasm earlier. The press keep shouting some questions. Ethan answers every question gracefully. Most of it about business and charity. In the end, the press asks about me and our relationship. Ethan looks at me with his smile and back to the press while caressing my waist.

"Madeline Parker is the head of tonight's charity. And yes, she is my girlfriend, the love of my life." And he pulls me to him and kisses me, pushing me softly so my body is a little bent backward. I know Ethan's purpose. He wants the press to get a good pose like some models, so later he can ask the press to send it to him and he will put it for his background screen. Ethan Hall and his childish side.

The guests flooded into the ballroom. Ethan is always by my side, introducing me to some people. There are some people who recognized me from my social media influencer's life. Surprisingly I can raise a lot of funds for this charity even before the charity starts. After all, this is a fundraising. People come here ready to write a check for the kids who are in need.

Rainey is wearing a simple black dress, complete with the headset in her ear. She is the coordinator during the event since I need to accompany Ethan and ask the guest for their money. She tied her hair in a low ponytail. Her makeup is perfect with her red lipstick.

"Good night Mr. Hall, Mads. You guys looks perfect." She smiles at us.

"You too, Rainey! Thanks for today. You are doing great," I say to her and she blushes.

"Thanks, Mads, but the night is still long. And actually we just want to start the event. I need to take you two to the side of the stage. Anna is already with Mrs. Hall."

"Rainey, why do you call her Mads and me Mr. Hall? Am I that old?" Ethan jokes and I laugh.

"Oh my God, Mr. Hall, that's never my intention," Rainey says, panicked.

"He teased you, Rainey." I say lightly.

Rainey groans, "please, I don't want to get a heart attack here, Mr. Hall,"

"But please, call me Ethan," he says smiling.

"Thanks, Ethan." Rainey smiles and we walk to the side of the stage. Helen is already there with her dress like a queen in cream color.

"My beautiful Madeline!" She hugs me.

"I'm here grandma," Ethan says dryly.

"Oh, hi. Who are you?" Helen teases him.

Rainey holds her earphone. "Mads, it's time."

I nod and go to the stage. The room is getting quieter. I clear my throat and hold the mic. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for coming to The Hall Charity. Please give a big applause to the Head of the Hall Industries, Mrs. Helen Hall."

Everyone claps their hand. Helen goes to the stage with Ethan. I step back. Helen goes to the podium with a big smile on her face. Ethan puts his hand on my waists.

"Were you nervous, Sweetness?" he whispers to me while Helen starts her speech.

"Talk in front of people? Nope. I've used to this before," I whisper and smile at him.

"Ah, I see," he says and kisses my forehead.

"Behave," I hiss, and Ethan chuckles.

"... and I would like to give my biggest thank you to my grandson, the CEO of Hall Industries, Ethan Hall." Everyone is clapping their hands. "Also for his beloved girlfriend who is also the head of this charity, Madeline Parker." And everyone claps their hands again. I feel my face blush. I glance at Ethan and he smiles proudly at me. His hand keeps caressing my back.

"Most of you notice that the head of The Hall Foundation is a legacy to the women in Hall family, and the seat is vacant for far too long. So, Ethan, you better make it quick. I can't wait to see Madeline's name as the head of The Hall Foundation." There is a zinc silent in the ballroom. Helen chuckles and continues with her speeches. "As for my second grandson, Christian Hall.." I can't even hear Helen's speech. I'm too aware with people's eyes on me now, and somehow I can read what's on their mind. This woman is going to be Ethan Hall's wife!

I glance at Ethan. He just chuckles happily.

Does it mean...
