BETRAYAL

Meeting Him

"Ma'am please tell us where you got your dress from because you look astonishingly gorgeous and the men can't take their eyes off you, especially Mr. Daniels", a reporter said.

Mrs. Amelia gave a wide smile and continued," My dress is from IsaBlarke Fashion House "

"Oh wow,your daughters dress is also from there,I guess", the reporter said.

" You guessed correctly ",Mrs. Amelia said.

" We would like to have a chat with the person with that smart and designable mind. Is she your designer?",the reporter asked.

"Yeah,she's my designer,my long time designer", Mrs. Amelia lied." You can locate her around my table"

With that,the media marched straight to the table and found her. The reporter began her interview.

"Good evening Miss", the reporter greeted.

" Good evening ",Isabelle replied cheerfully.

" We just talked to Mrs. Daniels and she disclosed to us that you are her long time designer",the reporter said.

"Actually. . . . . I just. . . . . .", Isabelle didn't complete when Marina pinched her thigh and whispered into her ears" My Mum said you are her designer so as to earn you customers so just say that you're her designer, right ".

" You've still not answered our question, Miss",the reporter reminded her.

"Yeah I'm her designer", Isabelle also lied.

"Wow,you really are creative, if I may ask,how are you able to come out with such beautiful, elegant and uncommon dresses?".

" I'm able to do that because I have a very supportive team of stylists who always come out with different styles and designs ".

" Do you include menswear in your collections".

"No,I don't design menswear".

" I think you should add some to your collections and it will help groom your business ".

" Okay,then,I will give it a try".

"Can you tell us your name?".

" I'm Isabelle Blarke "

"Oh so that's the reason behind IsaBlarke Fashion House".

" Yeah,that's right ".

"Okay,and thank you for your time".

" You are welcome".

The reporter turned and faced the camera directly. " That was a one on one chat with the CEO of IsaBlarke Fashion House. Stay glued to your television set for more updates.

Isabelle turned and a shiny chocolatey brown haired young man caught her attention.

For a brief moment, she couldn't feel herself breathing. She couldn't take her eyes off him.

The young man also couldn't take his eyes off her.

Their eyes meets and both look away.

"Mum,I received a message from Thomas, he is at the entrance,can I go get him?", Marina asked.

" Okay,don't take too long,honey",Mrs. Amelia said.

She stood up and disappeared amongst the crowd.

"Mum I wanna use the gents", Steve said.

" And I'm meeting a friend at the entrance ",Austin also said.

" Okay but don't be too smart,I know you are after your sister,don't try anything stupid ",Their mother warned and they left.

" I would like to see some friends so I will be back in a jiffy",Mrs. Amelia said and stood up."You two can talk since this is your first time of meeting".

The young man cleared his throat and greeted,"Good evening Beautiful ".

She feels shy but replied," Good evening".

"Can I know your name", he asked.

" I'm . .I'm . Isabelle Bl. .Blarke ",she stammered.

" Well, I'm Ezekiel Scott,my father and Mr. Daniels have been friends for a long time,Mr. Daniels actually invited my father but he was unable to come so he ask me to take his place".

"Oh okay,I'm one of Mrs. Amelia's invitees", she said shyly

"Currently I'm in a law school and in two years time,I will be a professional Lawyer", Ezekiel disclosed.

" I'm the CEO of IsaBlarke Fashion House ",Isabelle said.

After that silence engulfed between them and his stare made her blush.

" Isabelle ",Mrs. Amelia called from behind.

She turned and stood up," Ma'am,what can I do for you".

"Follow me,I want to show you to some friends".

"Okay ma'am", she said and followed her to their destination.

" Teresa, Christa,here is the lady I was talking about".Mrs. Amelia introduced her,"Isabelle, this woman is Teresa and the other one is Christa",she said pointing fingers at each person.

"Nice meeting you", Isabelle said.

" Nice meeting you too",both women said in unison and burst out laughing.

"Well,Isabelle clothed me this evening and you can see for yourselves that I . . . . . . .", Mrs. Amelia said but was cut off by Christa...

".. . . . . . .look amazing".

" Young lady please give us your contact details, we will call you later and talk",Teresa said and Isabelle gave them a card with all details they will need on it.

"We will call you and order for beautiful dresses like Amelia's own because I'm already feeling jealous", Christa said and they all laughed.

" Hey, Mr. Daniels, your wife is looking very hot,I haven't taken my eyes off her ever since they arrived",Mr. Alfred(Mr. Daniels' friend) said and Mr. Daniels held him by the neck,"Don't you ever fix your hungry eyes on my wife again,neither my daughter or else . . . . . "

"Okay you win", Mr Alfred conceded defeat." But that's the truth,they are looking like angels who just descended from Heaven.

"Keep your comments to yourself", Mr. Daniels warned.

After so many hours,the ball came to a climax.

Ezekiel chased Isabelle and gave her a card,she does same and they exchange good byes.
