Chapter 52: The banquet 2

Lomesa reluctantly put on the gown, she tried several times before she managed to pull the zipper up . She knew that the gown was specifically made for her when she put it on. Every measurement was the same as hers, and it was clear that Mrs Anastasia had pit in a lot of effort to make this gown for her. After all, it was custom made. This only made Lomesa feel guilty for almost abandoning it not long ago. Wouldn't that be the same as despising her efforts? At that moment, Lomesa felt that she had Been too wilful earlier. After all, who wouldn't appreciate such painstaking efforts from someone who only meant well for them? Thus, after realising that fact, Lomesa did everything meticulously, afraid that she would make a fool out of herself when the time for the banquet came. She even treated the gown like it was the most precious thing in the world for her. Of course it was, after all, it was gifted to her by her adoptive mother. She wasn't her biological mother but she always treated her like one. Lomesa also loved her adopted mother. If it wasn't for Samantha's instigation in her previous life, her relationship with her adoptive mother wouldn't have been so estranged. Even up to now, she always regretted treating her mother in that manner in her last lifetime. She has vowed to make it up to her to moment she was reborn, she couldn't let any chance go to waste now. She remembered that in her previous lifetime, her adoptive mother was always against her friendship with Samantha, she always told her that Samantha wasn't a good person, she never listened, what did she do in the end, she even severed ties with her on the spot, saying that her mother didn't want her to be happy. However, it actually turned out to be true. By then, it was too late for regrets. Fortunately, God was merciful enough and gave her a second chance. She only wanted to utilise this lifetime fully, doing good whenever necessary and paying back in terms of settling scores with people who caused her Demise in her previous life.

Lomesa took the heels in the other box. Fortunately, she had carried both boxes when she entered the bathroom. otherwise, she would have been forced to go back and bring them, that would have been quite a hassle to her. She took out the heels from the box. The heels were also silver white, they spared along , illuminating the light on Lomesa's pale skim on her long and slender legs, fortunately, the dress was long enough to cover most parts if her legs, otherwise, she didn't know how people would react if they saw her sexy legs. Fortunately, the dress was long. Lomesa didn't want to deal with crazy fans incase she happened to meet them, at the moment, she didn't want to garner alot of attention from people, she just wanted to study well for the college entrance examinations that were fast approaching. Any other thing would have to wait. Especially stuff like her entering the entertainment industry, they would have to wait until she got enrolled in a university.

After Lomesa was done putting on the heels, she walked to the bathroom mirror to take a good look at herself. Instantly, amazement flashed in her eyes as she stared unblinkingly at the girl that was staring back at her in the mirror. Lomesa knew that she was a beauty but at that moment, even awe couldn't describe the state she was in. The girl in the mirror was so beautiful that even Lomesa couldn't get the right words to describe it. Lomesa pinched her arm to confirm that she was not dreaming, the pinch itself earned a yelp from Lomesa, she thought she did it lightly, who knew that her arm would redden immediately? That's right, Lomesa had delicate skin, even a mere right grip on her arm would male it swell and redden, now, Lomesa could only pray that no one at the banquet would notice the redness on her arm. She knew that people would immediately begin to speculate the moment they saw that swelling. She didn't want that to happen. Especially not on the day of the banquet, okay?

In the bedroom, the make up artists were becoming impatient, they would look at the bathroom door from time to time. However, everytime, the would be disappointed because they couldn't see a trace of Lomesa coming out. Just as they were about to go over and take a look, the bathroom door opened and a fairy walked out.

Gasp!

Ssss!

Those wrre the only sounds that came from the three male up artists who were standing frozen on the spot in Lomesa's bedroom. They gawked at the person who emerged from the bathroom in shock and amazement. This was the girl they had just given a make over a few minutes ago? At that moment, she stood there without doing anything, looking like Kendall Jenner on the runway. That's right, she looked like a model. Even the make up artists had a feeling that she was going to be a star soon, who would only soar higher and higher as time went by. At that moment, the three make up artists didn't know that their speculations would come true in the near future. Anyway at the moment,

"Wow miss! you look so good!" one of the artists exclaimed.

"That's right, I almost thought that I saw a fairy just now." Another chipped in.

"Well, you just look like a model miss" the third make up artist was shy but she had to voice her opinion.

Lomesa was overwhelmed with praises, she touched her nose awkwardly and coughed to hide her embarrassment.

"Well, thank you guys, let's head downstairs. " Lomesa answered and said, making for the door.

"Wait miss." One of the make up artists came back to her senses and said.

"Hmm?" Lomesa turned to look at the girl who called her.

"You're earrings." The girl shook the earrings in her hand and gestured for Lomesa to sit.

Lomesa sat on the couch obediently and let the girl put the earrings on fi

or her.

The earrings were white and made from pearls, they complimented the gown that Lomesa was wearing, it only made her look more delicate, the kind that would make anyone wish to stand up for her anytime they saw her. She was very beautiful, the soft and delicate kind of beautiful. She wasn't the cold type, she just appeared soft and easy to bully.

"Alright, done." The make up artist said after she finished putting on the last earring.

Hearing this, Lomesa nodded and stood up, she went downstairs. Of course the make up artists followed her downstairs, their job here was done. They had already Bern paid beforehand, what only remained was for them to leave the place.

When they went downstairs, Mrs Anastasia had just finished talking to someone on the phone and was entering the house when she saw Lomesa. Her eyes instantly lit up with a glow, She knew that her baby was beautiful, however, she had never expected her to be this breathtaking.

"Wow, my baby is very beautiful." After saying this, Mrs Anastasia took out her phone and took a few photos of Lomesa. she didn't seem to have the intention of stopping anytime soon. Lomesa had no choice but to walk over and say;

"Alright mom, stop messing around or we'll be late." She said with a sigh. Only then did Mrs Anastasia go back to her normal self. She immediately let Lomesa pull her towards the car that was waiting for them at the side..The car belonged to Mrs Anastasia. She had brought a chauffeur along so she directly sat in the passenger seat I the back with Lomesa. After all, they had not seemingly each other for long, so they had a lot to talk about.

At the banquet, A lamborghini stopped in the parking lot and three male figures got out of the car. The three were none other than Ian, Blake and Kai, the handsome faces of Ian and Blsake made the girl's In the banquet to shriek excitedly.

"Oh my God, who are those to hunks?"

"Jeez, I'm about to get a nose bleed, how can someone be this hot?"

"Sir, will you please marry me?"

"Eh? and why is the one in the centre wearing a mask?"

"I'm wondering too."

"Could it be that his face is too hideous and so he is embarrassed by it so he had to wear a mask?"

"I guess you are right. "

Ian amd Blake's lips twitched when they heard the comments from the people. What hideous face? This guy's face was enough to topple the world, okay? Even Ian and Blake knew that they couldn't match up to Kai's handsome face. They wondered what these people eould say when Kai one day removed his ma's in public? They would probably faint, right?

Kai on the other hand didn't seem to care about anything. It was as if those comments had nothing to do with him.

The three men heard just sat down when they suddenly heard a gasp...
