Embrace Of The Lucifer novel Chapter 8

August.

Everyone was getting ready for the party. We had to get ready first to serve the guests properly. I was in my room along with Venessa. She was brushing her hair and doing her makeup while I was sitting on the bed tying my hair in a normal bun.

“Are you ready to go Aug?” she asked me using a nickname that she gave me.

“Yes, I am” I replied nodding my head. She was shocked after she looked at me.

“No way in hell are you going downstairs like this.” She said placing her hands on her hips.

“Wh-why? Do I-I look bad?” I whispered.

“No honey, of course you are beautiful but you really need to do some make up. I mean come on it’s a party.” she chirped. I looked down and replied. “I don’t have any makeup kit” she stared at me in disbelief.

“So what? You can use mine. Come on I’ll do it for you” she grinned and made me sit in the chair, facing the mirror.

At last, after 20 minutes she was done with my makeup. I didn’t really like to use makeup so I told her to not use too much and also, she didn’t let me see myself. “Go and see yourself now. You look hot” she said and winked, making me blush. She moved away from the mirror and I had a full view of myself. I gasped in shock. I look really different.

I turn around and hugged her. “Thank you very much no one has ever done something like this for me” I told her. She patted my back and broke the hug, giving me a warm smile. “Okay, now let’s go downstairs before Martha comes and eats us alive.” she murmured and we both shared a giggle.

We reached downstairs, in the kitchen where we instantly started to work. All the maids were there and looked very good in their outfits well I was quite uncomfortable in these heels but I couldn’t remove them either.

“Here you two” Martha said and sighed. “Come don’t be late. The guests have already arrived” she handed me and Venessa a tray of drinks and foods. Fortunately, I held a tray of delicious food because I hated alcohol. It reminded me of my foster dad... he used to drink before he beat me every day. I shrugged the thought as I knew that if I kept reminding myself of all those bad memories, I might end up bursting in tears in front of everyone. I entered into the hall and my mouth dropped. This looks like the castle from the Beauty and the Beast.

“Close your mouth sweetheart. You may catch a fly” a voice said from behind me. I turned around and a very gorgeous guy was standing behind me with a wine glass in his hand and a smirk plastered on his face. My cheeks flushed and I looked down.

He chuckled lightly and came closer to me. I unknowingly moved back but regretted my movement instantly when I saw him picking up a fried chicken from the tray I was holding and walked away. I sighed in relief. Who was he? Must be a family member or business partner of master.

I was very tired of walking in those high heels. I placed the tray on the kitchen counter and stripped out of my heels. I sat in one of the chairs and massaged my toes. Couldn’t they choose a normal shoe instead of high heels?

All of a sudden. I heard someone coming into the kitchen, so I quickly stood up and wore my heels. I heard a group of people laughing. They must be roaming around. I pretended to wash the dishes so that they wouldn’t notice me. But how wrong I was.

“What are you doing here?” I tilted my head and saw master Nathan.

“I-I was just washing, master” I stuttered. He just nodded his head in response. “D-do you want anything, S-Sir?”
