Chapter five

Emily's P.O.V.

"Ms. James, you'll be the one attending the party tonight." i just got here and that's what she says and it looks like she've been waiting for me.

"Okay, what's this even about?" I ask.

"You'll be a paparazzi again. I heard that something malicious is happening in that hotel, and i happen to get a hold of an invitation." She explain, a paparazzi again huh, i'm fine with that it was my job before after all.

"Okay, copy." I said,

"Oh right wear something nice i read that it's a ball, for the aristocrats." After she saud that she go back to his office.

So that means i'll go home early to find something to wear for the ball. This is kinda exciting, i can't wait.

I went to a boutique, a dress that caught my eye is still here. It's a black ball gown the back is open and it has simple design. It fits me well so i bought it and i go to dry cleaning so the gown will be in good condition.

I'll be the one doing my hair and make up, i also ready my camera that fits right in my pouch. I get my gown back from the dry cleaning and went home to arrange the things i'm gonna use later on.

I arrive to the ball by car that Ms. Jace booked for tonight. I get out of the car, i look at my surroundings and my eyes caught Zach Armstrong but he have no date. But i shake it off 'cause his not the reason i'm here.

I'm here to know what's really going on behind this five star hotel.

How did Ms. Jace got an invitation to this ball, all i see is business man and some models- which is their dates for tonight.

"Is that you Emily?" Argh! This is why i don't want to go to the blind dates Cherry set up.

"Hi Frank." I said, i look beside and behind him, it's a surprise he don't have a date.

"What are you doing here?" He ask, gosh, Cherry i'm never gonna go to your blind dates again.

"Work, anyway it seems a bachelor like you don't have a date. Or i'm wrong?" He plaster the smug smile i hate, the reason i turn him down, his so full of himself.

"Are you suggesting you want to be my date?" See so irritating.

"No thanks i already have a date." I said, he look beside me then shook his head.

"You know lying is bad." He was gonna reach for my hand thankfully a waiter walk towards us.

"A drink, ma'am, sir." He offer i take a glass and look at Frank.

"Bye Frank hope to not meet you again." I said the waiter was schock and Frank is pissed, i walk away from them.

I walk out the ball room and make my way to the kitchen. Boss said that here is were they do the loading of the smuggled goods.

I was about to open the door, but someone pull me by the arm.

Shit this is not good!

"What are you doing here?" I saw his name plate and his the manager. Of all people why the manager!?

"I think i'm lost, i was looking for the bathroom." I lied, please someone just appear from nowhere.

"Don't lie to be woman!" He yank my arm, damn that hurts i want to punch this man.

"Hey, what's happening here?" Finaly someone came, i look at the man. It's Zach, the manager let go of my hand.

"Oh... hi Mr. Armstrong. I was just talking to her." Tsk! I walk away from the manager.

"You call that talk? Huh, i was only looking for the restroom, then he yank my arm." I said it really hurts i thought his gonna break my arm.

"She was gonna go in the kitchen!" He shouted and i think he made a wrong move. Because Zach looked pissed and by the looks of it he can snap the neck of the manager.

I don't know why but i reach Zach's arm and he seem to calmed down.

"Don't waste your time with the likes of him, his not worth it." I said, i looked me in the eyes and nod.

The manager go in the kitchen, i'm left with Zach. I need to go in there but i feel scared something might happen to me.

"Why where you going to the kitchen?" He suddenly ask. We're going back to the ball room.

"It's a secret anyway thank you, if you haven't gone there i think my arm will fell off." I laugh to my self.

"I don't accept thank you's." He have this childish smile, cute.

"Oh, what do you want in return then?" I ask.

Zach's P.O.V.

"Oh, what do you want in return then?" She ask. She look familiar i think i have meet her somewhere.

"Dance with me." I said, a slow music starts to play, i look at her, she smiled at me. Beautiful.

"Okay then Mr. Armstrong." Now i remember i did a interview with her, she's Emily James from Gossip Paradiso the tabloid that likes to interrogate than interview the people with scandals.

That must be the doing of my father, if a tabloid can interview our family it's only that Publisher.

I lead her to the dance floor where other's are also dancing. I place my hand in her waist and glide with her everyone is looking at her, she sure is an eye candy.

"I'm being glared at by many woman." She rolled his eyes and that made me laugh.

"They're just jealous of you." I said, she then roll her eyes at me.

"Wow, you have an attitude, huh."

I look around us and not only women is looking at her also men rather eyeing her up. I don't know why but i want to shoot daggers at those eyes.

Back to Emily's P.O.V.

I have fun talking to Zach, but i still need to get in the kitchen. So here i am changing my clothes into a waitress. This way i can get in there, the only problem is that that shitty manager might recognize me.

But as is i'll let my self me caught like earlier. I'm pushing a trolly to the kitchen and i see no sign of the manager.

I go to the back where the supplies goes in, i hear people talking. I hide in the apple boxes, their still loading the truck i take out my camera and take pictures.

I move forward that made the apple boxes fall, i quickly hide to the trash can.

"Who's there?" I heard one of then ask.

"Maybe it's just a rat." The other man said.

Shit this is crazy.

I heard them walk away then i run towards the door, i storm out the kitchen. I call the driver earlier that he should start the car, i saw the car parked beside the hotel and i run there.
