Chapter 53

"are you crying?" Grace asked her

"no but I think am about to" Jane confessed, she doesn't know how much longer she can hold it in

"but you know you can't do that, it will ruin your make up, you don't like the dress?" Grace asked

"of course I do, I'm really in love with it in fact, it's just that I'm so happy" Jane said

"happy?" Grace asked looking happy

"well I know you might not be able to relate, but ever since I was small, I always wanted to dress like this, like those women on the TV and in magazines you know, I've never looked this beautiful in my entire life, and it makes me so happy, it's like a dream come true" she said trying so hard not to let the tears drop

"thank you very much miss Grace for making this dream of mine come true" she said facing her and sniffing back her tears "thank you once again"

"it's totally fine" she said emotionally

"you are really different from other rich kids, most of them are spoilt and rude, but you are very kind and polite, you even gave me your necklace" she said

"well let's just say, I took a likening for you, I've always wanted a baby sister but I never got one, it's so boring being the only girl, just see me as your elder sister and you can sure tell me anything" she said

"sure" she replied

"we should go now, the party starts in five minutes" grace said and dragged Jane along with her

they got to the hall and everyone was there except for Christopher and of course the guests

"Grace where have you been and who's that beside you?" Maria asked

"mom I've been dressing up, don't I look beautiful?" she teased

"of course you do, you will definitely find an eligible bachelor tonight" she winked

"mom please not tonight, don't ruin my mood" Grace complained

"well you can't avoid it, you are getting older young lady, you better find a man or I will get one for you" she interjected

"no you won't, this is 21st century mom, I'm an adult and can make my own decisions" she rolled her eyes

"I don't care, anyways who is that?" she asked again

"mom it's Jane" she pouted

"Jane?, you mean Chris's maid?" she asked looking a bit dissatisfied

"yes Mom" Grace answered

"you are not going to be friends with a maid will you, why would you dress her up so much and who says she can attend the party, this party is for the highest in the society why would a maid be here" Maria complained

"mom keep your voice down she can hear you, you know" Grace interjected

"and do I care?" she said raising her eyebrow

"mom I invited her okay, and besides she's Chris's personal maid, she's like his nanny,

she needs to be everywhere he his, he might need at anytime" she explained

"hmm, I see, but next don't get her all dressed up like this" she said and left

grace sighed in relief and turned to Jane who was looking down, she felt bad for her, she must have felt bad and embarrassed

"I'm really sorry for what my mom said, okay?"

"it's really fine, I totally understand" she replied

Jane looked around the hall and everything looked spectacular, she couldn't help but grin, but something seems missing, she was still lost in her fantasy when Estella walked by and spoke to Grace

"miss Grace, have you by any chance seen that girl Jane, she so stubborn, she was seen entering the mansion but I haven't laid my eyes on her, she need to help your brother get ready, the party starts now and some of the guests are already coming in, that girl is going to give me an heart attack" she wailed

seeing Estella's expression, both Grace and Jane almost burst into laughter

"should we tell her?" Grace asked

"I think we should pity her" Jane said trying hard to hold back the laughter

"come on Estella don't let small things like this bother you, Jane is right before your eyes" grace said

how can I not be bothered, wait, what?" Jane's here, her eyes widened with shock when she realized the woman in front of her was actually Jane

"Jane is that really you?" she asked

"yes Estella" she replied

Estella looked like she was going to pass out, "you don't look like you, I didn't even recognize you at all" she stammered

"of course she looks too beautiful tonight, I stole away so please don't punish her okay" Grace begged

"of course miss" she answered still not able to get over her shock

by this time most of the guest already arrived

mom climbed the stage and grabbed the microphone

"you should go get Chris mom is going to give the welcoming speech, tell him to hurry he must be here before she's done"

"okay I will go get him now" she said and way her way to his room

Christopher took another look at himself in the mirror, a handsome devil he thought

"you need to fix you tie a bit" Jack voice spoke from behind

"where that's little maid of mine, she's supposed to be doing this, isn't that why she was hired, what's she doing with Grace anyways"

Jack was about to say something when a knock interrupted him

"come in" Chris said

Jane opened the door and was going to say something when her eyes caught the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on, he was smoking hot, he looked like an angel just sent from heaven, his hair were perfectly and evenly styled, his face looked like God's direct handwriting perfectly sculpted, his chin, his lips, those long legs, his entire body was fire and it was making hers hot, she felt like someone just took her breath away

her limbs went numb but they was no way she would allow herself fall, she can't embarrass herself, and oh gosh she can't tear her eyes away from him

"hmm, hmm" Jack cleared his throat on purpose, the air suddenly felt awkward

Jane regained herself and finally was able to speak

"uhmm Mr Christopher, miss Grace asked that I get you, the party has started already" she managed to say
