No problem little one

The weekend arrived quickly before she knew it and it was time to get prepared for the charity event tonight. Jaxson said that she just had to keep him company. It'll be drinking, some food, dancing if she wanted to and an auction at the end.

Paige put on very little makeup just some eyeliner and some mac lipstick called sin. It was her favourite lipstick as it was a burgundy colour that brought out contrasting pale skin and dark hair. She curled my hair a bit and then left it down.

Paige was not used to such grand events and didn't know how to do all the fancy hairstyles. So she went with what she could do herself. Jaxson did offer to get her a stylist but she refused. She never liked to make small talk with strangers.

James had sent the dress and accessories that morning. The shoes are to die for they are a pair of Louboutin Follies which are black and lacy to match with the dress. Paige sat on the bed and put on her heels, then she heard a knock at the door. She gets up takes one last look in the mirror before opening the door.

"Wow".

Jaxson enters wearing a black Armani suit and his pocket square and tie are a striking sapphire blue.

"Hi, handsome". Paige reached up and fixed his tie a bit.

"You take my breath away. Turn round for me, so I can get a better look at you. I also got you a different set of jewellery for tonight."

Paige's turned her back and lifted her hair, Jaxson put a necklace around her neck.

"Now we match". He says with a smile.

Paige looked in the mirror and she can see a cushion-cut sapphire necklace that just drops slightly below her collar bones. Jaxson hands her the matching earrings. They are sapphire stones with tiny diamonds surrounding them. Know she gets what he meant earlier when he said to know they matched it made Paige smile at his sweet thoughts.

"Thank you, I love everything. The shoes, dress and jewellery. I'll only get used to it if you keep this up".

"Great, your mine to spoil."

She only meant to tease him but in the end, Jaxson agreed.

They say goodnight to Axel and cupcake and Jaxson drives them to the charity event. They reach the venue and it is a big white old Manor house surrounded by a forest of trees.

Many people all dressed up are walking in hand in hand. Paige started to feel a bit out of place she was not used to a lot of people any more.

A year ago she would have blended in as she would have accompanied her boss at the time CEO Salvator. Now though to be a proper guest and have judging eyes on her it felt completely different. Before as a secretary she was nearly invisible.

"Come on beautiful, stay by my side that's all you have to do". He gets out of the car and comes round and opens her door. She takes his offered hand as he helps her out of the car.

They go in through the doors, the place is full of people chatting and sipping Champagne. The room has big chandeliers and light glitters against the polished floor. There is a band playing some classical music. Some people are dancing with their partners. It looks like a fairy-tale ball. Jaxson hands Paige a glass of Champagne. She didn't like to drink much but she smiled and took it.

"I'm here so you can get a bit tipsy again, I don't mind a repeat of the other night".

He smiles but she gives him a poke in the ribs.

"Don't tease me, I'll have this one and that's all". He puts his arm around her waist and they walk around a bit.

People are eager to talk to Jaxson. They come up one after the other shaking his hand and giving compliments to him. He's very natural and reply's and then gives his excuses and moves on. He takes my glass and sets it down with his.

"Will you dance with me?". He holds my hand and pulls her towards the dance floor.

"Looks like I don't get a choice".

Paige then smiled at him she let him take the lead as he spins them around the dance floor. His eyes sparkle like the night sky and he's got that heart-pounding smile on his face. She couldn't take my eyes off him. They spin and she lightly hit into someone so she turned to apologise quickly.

"Sorry about that, I'm not used to dancing". 

Jaxson holds her tightly against his chest.

"No problem little one".

Paige looked up and her heart drops. It's him, he's here she thought. He plagues her nightmares and now he's right in front of her. She lowered her head and buried it in Jaxson's chest.

"Sorry, no harm is done. Excuse us". Jaxson then takes them off the dance floor.

"Jaxson I'll take you up on that visit".

"I'll let my secretary know". Paige pulls away from Jaxson, she needed to calm down before he notices.

"I'll just nip to the ladies and be back in a moment".

She then practically runs down the corridor.

"Ok, I'll wait here for you."
