Chapter 56
?Los Angeles (The Ball)?
As the car’s door opened, she stepped out gracefully. She’s looking like an enchanted goddess in her beautiful ball gown and light makeup.
From her head to her toes, screams beauty. You won’t even believe she’s human. Her perfection was too much to be described.
Immediately the reporters saw them, they rushed over to them.
The guards kept trying their best to keep them off, but they were still struggling to get past them.
“Mr Grey, please could you spare us some minutes of your time? We are really happy to see you in Los Angeles again”
“Your company keeps growing nationwide everyday. We would love to hear what you say about it”
“Who is this young beauty with you?”
“Is she your sister cause she’s obvious too young”
That question made him frown.
“She looks like an enchantress. Please tell us about her”
Their questions were being thrown one after the other. In his imagination, he has already cut their heads off to shut them up.
Their presence was really irritating him and that’s why he never actually wanted to come.
Pearl was also very uncomfortable, she kept clinging on Draco every second they got closer.
When the guards succeeded in getting them through, she sighed.
They walked into the palace looking hall and everyone talking kept quiet, turning their gaze to him.
“Let’s say a big welcome to Mr. Draco. Is good to see you graced us with your presence” the host said with a smile and everyone applauded.
He’s quite popular, so it was no surprise that people started mumbling.
Sweet melodies were played and some danced while the rest chatted.
As they got seated on a seat, the businessmen started going to him and the ladies rushed to him too.
“How long has it been Mr. Grey?” A man asked with a smile as he walked to him.
“I believe it hasn’t been so long Einstein” he replied, clicking his glass of wine with him.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming, I would have gladly been your date?”
“I missed you Draco”
“My business in France went skyrocket because of your help”
All the ladies kept talking at once, trying to touch him too.
Their hateful glares and mean looks were also on Pearl, who was sitting very close to him.
The men weren’t left out either, cause some of them gave Draco hateful looks.
Some of the ones who came with their dates also gave Draco lustful looks while standing next to their man.
“Hey ladies, I think you guys should give us some space” one of the men said and they scoffed, leaving dejectedly.
They didn’t leave completely without giving Pearl more of their hateful looks again.
Pearl’s eyes were wandering around as Draco discussed with the men. Everywhere looked magnificent to her.
The people in there looked very classy too, with their glowing skins and rich attires.
She also noticed the ladies went out of their way to please the men.
Majority of them had heavy makeup on and tight fitted gowns, which revealed their cleavages too much.
Soon she began to breathe heavily. Her eyes took their turn in getting dizzy, beads of sweat were slowly forming on her forehead.
Maybe it’s because of the crowd. Sometimes she always finds it uncomfortable to be around such a large number of people.
If there’s something she needs more than anything right now, it is air. The one in there feels stuffed to her.
Draco turned to her for a moment and noticed her state. He knows she’s finding it difficult to breathe.
“You can use the restroom” he whispered in her ear.
That sounded like the best thing he has ever said to her.
“Thanks master” she whispered back and stood up to leave.

She has breathed in and out countless times since she entered the bathroom. The panic attack has stopped, she feels better now.
“That thorn in a flesh” she gritted her teeth as she remembered Draco.
“Can’t he just go with one of these ladies dieing to have him? Why must it always be me?” She muttered angrily and her mind flashed to Lyra.
“Why doesn’t he call her instead, after all she’s the right one to be here”
She sighed after some minutes, then looked at herself in the mirror.
“Time to go back to that hell” she mumbled and started leaving.
Before she could go down, an idea popped into her head. The idea was to stay in one of the guest rooms till they were ready to leave.
It seems like a dangerous thing, but she has made up her mind. She turned back and went to a guest room.
“Pretty!” She gushed as she entered a room.
She ran into the bedroom without checking out the sitting room.
The room was also very beautiful and comfortable. She decided to stay in the sitting room and wait on the couch.
She hummed happily, returning back to the sitting room.
Her body froze instantly as she saw someone lying on the couch.
