Chapter six_complete makeover.

Elena's POV.

"Do you like what you see" He asked. But I was too amazed to speak.

"Hmm" I nodded slightly.

"That's good,let's go in" He led the way and I followed.

The interior was even bigger than the exterior,we made our way to the elevator and he pressed the '4' button,that was probably where the salon was located.

The elevator doors opened and we found ourselves inside a large room filled with different types of skincare equipment that I'd only ever seen on the internet,it took sheer willpower not to gawk at the sight before me. The room consisted of only five people all dressed in the same uniform, they all bowed when we entered and a chorus of 'welcome sir and ma'am' passed through the room.

Obviously used to this kind of treatment he didn't even acknowledge the greetings and just went straight to the point .

"This woman over here is your boss and you all work for her"he said while pointing at me "disrespect her and you will not be able to secure a job in the worst of slums"

"Do you all understand" he thundered.

"Yes sir" came the chorus in an equally high note.

"Now,put this place to good use and give her a complete makeover".

"Yes Sir"was the reply.

                        THREE HOURS LATER.  

  After being passed from one machine to another and having different kinds of scrubs applied to my body till my skin felt like jelly,my hair washed and styled to smoothness and my face  going through different skincare products till it was smooth and glowing , I was finally released and sent to the fifth floor.

On arrival I was faced with a large array of clothes,shoes, hats and everything that makes up a wardrobe. 

   "Please allow me to take your measurements ma'am" A voice said  making me turn swiftly to see the owner. It was a slender woman slightly taller than me.

"Okay sure" I said trying to keep my voice steady.

"The boss ordered that your measurements be taken and you should be dressed up by an hour as you two still have a lot to do" 

"And he asked you to relay this message to me"

"Yes ma'am"

"Okay"I nodded and let her take the measurements.

"What's your name"

" Jill ma'am" she replied,head bowed.

"Now Jill you may call me Ms Elena"

"Yes Ms Elena" she answered, head still bowed. I was not used to this kind of treatment.

After the measurements were taken Jill led me to another room which was demarcated by a large curtain. Stepping behind the curtain ,with Jill waiting for me at the other side, I found some clothes on a rack with shoes to pair them with laid on a neat rug beneath the rack.

I tried on the first cloth, it was a white gown that was tight just up to the knees and flared out from the knees to the ankle, it had an intricate design and was embroidered with tiny specks of sapphire such that it caught the light and sparkled wherever I turned. Deciding that it was too elaborate and showy, I took it off and tried the other clothes in the rack.

After a bout of trial and error, I came upon a black sequined dress, it was the last cloth on the rack. I quickly pulled it on and I loved it immediately. A black sequined dress with spaghetti straps that reached just up to my knees and hugged my body highlighting my hourglass figure. I paired it with a three inch high heeled shoe, teardrop earrings and a ruby necklace framed in twinkling diamonds. Guess everything here is expensive.

Looking into the mirror I was so shocked that I had to rest my hands on the wall for support,aside from my mouth that was slightly ajar and my eyes that were widened to a point that they were almost bulging out,I looked like someone who just stepped out of an international beauty magazine.

The woman staring back at me was not the disheveled and  thin woman I was used to seeing,rather I looked .... beautiful. Gosh it felt like all of this is a dream. How had  a normal afternoon at the park escalated so quickly, this must be a dream, I thought,but as I looked at my reflection in the mirror I knew that this was far from a dream,this was reality and the future was somewhat uncertain.

Jill's voice brought me back from my reverie.

"MS Elena the boss is waiting for you"

"I'm coming"

Taking another look at my reflection,I decided that the beauticians had definitely worked their magic.

Stepping out from the dressing room ,I turned to face an expectant Jill.

"You look beautiful Ms Elena" she complimented  looking awestruck.

"Thanks Jill" I gave her a warm smile.

"So where is your boss"

"He's on the second floor"

"Thank you"

 The 'ding' of the elevator signified that I had arrived and the doors opened. I stepped out and found my self in a room that was decorated as if a business meeting was to be held here.

"You're finally here" He drawled.

Facing him I gave him a sweet smile and saw him  gulp, his eyes raking over my body, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

"Am I perhaps the object of your fantasies" I smirked, I just used his own words against him.

Then I noticed the other two people in the room.
