Ouch! my ceo fiancé fell for his maid by Lisa alman novel Chapter 46

46-Two Days To Go

Ashley Walters pov

All my dresses were lying on the carpeted floor. Just two hours before the party, I had still not decided what to wear.

In the orphanage, I never gave a damn. For me, denim with a t–shirt used to do the job. This was something else.

“Kitten, believe me. You will look beautiful whatever you choose to wear.” Justin took his jacket out of the closet, “There are so many options. Choose, what is easy for you to carry.”

Ah! Men!

They don’t face what we women face every day. For them, it’s either a t–shirt or a jacket, or a tuxedo.

“I wish, I was a man!” I complained and sat down beside the huge pile, “But being a woman has its own advantages.”

“Such as?” There was a playful smile on his lips.

“Being a woman means getting a chance to do all that sexy stuff with you… After two days!” I chewed my lower lip and avoided looking at him.

“Woman! Get a hold. Otherwise, I might…” His voice had turned husky.

Knock!

“Master Deluca. Your car is ready.” Alex was outside the door. I rose to my feet and opened the door. “Alex. Please come inside.” There was a flicker of surprise in his eyes when I gestured for him to enter the room. He looked behind me and must have got his employer’s approval.

With great hesitancy, he came inside and stood there awkwardly.

“Sarah is throwing a party. What should I wear? I mean I have never been rich… Ha–ha.”

“Ashley!” Justin’s voice was laced with warning.

“What, Ashley? You are not helping me either, Justin. At least let him.” Bickering at him, I turned to the poor assistant.

“Mr. Alex. I don’t know anything suitable to wear. Please help me.” I picked up a revealing gown, “What about this one? Will that do the job? Or should I …” I jumped over the pile and took out a sapphire blue tie waist dress in velvet.

“Ashley. Put that down.” Justin took it from my hands, “Alex. Tell the driver it will take some time as I am helping my wife to select the dress.”

Alex at once stepped back and ran out as if his life depended on it. I was putting back my blue dress when my hands froze in mid–air.

Did he just tell his assistant that I was his wife? I looked in his direction and had to admire him. All ready, in a black jacket with his hair, gelled back, he was crouched down, trying to help me in choosing my dress.

Again, a knock!

“Yes!” He said busily and took out an olive–green maxi, “How about this one?” He lifted it up so that I could see it when we heard Sarah standing in the doorway.

“Wow! I did not know you have started your own boutique, Ashley!” She sounded amused and sat beside

me, “So, what do we have here?”

“I simply don’t know what to choose?” I asked her nervously.

“Don’t worry. Just be you.” She started examining all my dresses, “Justin. If I recall, you have a meeting. You should go ahead and let me help her with this mess.”

Justin did not look convinced. While Sarah was busy sorting out my clothes, I secretly winked at him and pouted to give him a silent kiss.

He scratched his head and narrowed his eyes.

“I think you should go. Sarah will help me.” I tried to assure him by blinking my eyes twice. He seemed uncertain.

“Ok!” He sighed at last giving up.

When he left the room, I noticed Sarah’s gaze following him.

“OK.” She quickly turned back her attention, “Look! How about this one? It’s not a formal party. You just need to look confident Ashley.”

She picked up a red velvet dress that had a crew neckline, “This!” She exclaimed happily, “It will bring out the green color of your eyes.”

“Just pair it with comfortable shoes. If you want, you can let your hair fall on your shoulders or go with a ponytail. My friends will help you with your hairstyle. Nadia is a pro.”

I did not need any help with the hairstyle. It was just the dress choice, I was worried about. I wanted to ask her so badly why she got me married to her fiancé.

If I were at her place, I would never have let go of Justin.

No matter, how serious the problem was. Only a crazy woman will get her hot fiancé married to some other woman.

Yet, Justin was also a sensible man. Why did he agree to it? Was it some kind of scheming against me?

“Back to earth, Ashley!” Sarah waved her hand in front of my eyes, “Where are you?”

I bobbed my head and started placing my clothes in the closet.

“Don’t be late, Ashley. I am sure you are going to enjoy it.” She said matter of factly and left the room.

***

Party was in the basement. This was the first time I was looking at this part of the house. It was huge. where easily they could throw large parties.

I checked my phone where Justin’s blinking message said, “Do call me if you want to get out. I promise I

will be there.”

The man had gotten my back. I should not worry about anything.

Well! As Sarah told me. It was an intimate moment. I guess her definition of intimate was a little different. I was feeling nervous among so many unknown faces.

I think, I sort of looked like an outsider despite me wearing a branded dress. All those who were passing by me were throwing weird glances my way.

I smiled timidly and even attempted to say hi to a few guests. But they did not bother to respond.

“So, ladies and gentlemen. Here I present to you… Ashley Walters!” I heard Sarah announcing it on the mic … No sorry.

She was standing on a counter with a wine bottle using it as a mic. And the moment I realized that, several pairs of eyes were observing me, I wanted to vanish from that place.

Oh, Justin!

“Oh. She is Deluca’s maid!” A girl nearby pointed towards me. A drunk guy came to me and held my hand,

“Let’s toast for this girl. It’s not every day that a maid gets this kind of attention. My house help is still looking for some followers on her so*cial media account. Ha–ha. And look at her. So many fans in one day.”

Sarah had already requested me not to let anyone know what association I shared with this house. What was my link to Justin Deluca?

No, I needed to keep it secure in my heart..

“All my party attendees. Please put your hands together for our very own Pashley… I mean Ashley Walters! Yohoo!”

I knew she did it on purpose and the damage was done.

“Come up, Ash. Our guests want to see you!” She was practically screaming into the mic giving me a mild headache.

It was not a short–height counter. I never faced such a big crowd in my life.
