BXBX NOVEL 968 Chapter 968
When she arrived at the CEO\'s floor, Cedric laughed as he told her that Camilla and Ayanna had both been fetched by Selina and taken to Islands Inc.
"It seems that a fashion company is a better place to get ready for the charity event over my dreary office building." Cedric teased as he walked Katerina out of the office.
She drove furiously to Islands Inc.\'s office that was honestly not far away. She was annoyed that her friends did not tell her about their plans.
As she stormed into the office her phone began to ring as she noticed Veronica giving her a call.
"V. What\'s up?" Katerina asked as she searched the top floor for Camilla and the others.
"Come to Islands\' Inc. we\'re all getting ready together." Veronica informed her, making Katerina roll her eyes.
"I am here, and why did none of you tell me we were getting ready here?!" She asked angrily as she stopped the woman she recognized to be Adrianna\'s assistant.
"Where are they?" She asked the assistant in a cold tone that made the woman flinch.
"At the end of the hall, big double doors, CEO\'s office." The woman managed to say.
"Thanks." Katerina responded with a smile as she marched towards the direction she had been pointed at.
As soon as she entered the room she was greeted by the three young men that excitedly ran up to her.
"Auntie Katerina!" The boys said as they hugged her legs.
"Hello boys, where are your mamas?" She asked them as she tried to suppress her anger. She knew her friends had sent the children to calm her.
"This way auntie." Dominic took her hand and led her to a door behind Adrianna\'s desk.
Inside, Selina\'s multiple assistants were rushing back and forth inside the CEO\'s lounge as they picked dresses from racks with the girls\' names on them.
"Katerina!" Selina exclaimed as she practically floated over.
Selina might not be a model herself, but she could pass off as one. She moved very effortlessly and since finally resolving her issues with Alexi, she seemed to be blooming everyday.
"Thank you for bringing your auntie to us, you boys can go back to playing with the twins." Selina said with a smile as several maids led the two boys back out.
"Don\'t think that you guys can escape not telling me by throwing those boys at me." Katerina grumbled as she let Selina lead her to a seat where she would have her makeup done. "And do their fathers know you are planning on bringing them along?"
Among the racks of clothes Katerina had noticed sets for children and even some for the twins.
"Yoyo will be concealed." Adrianna explained as an attendant brought over a few dresses.
"I styled Eric\'s suit for tonight as well, choose one, they will all match." Selina told Katerina.
"I\'ll look like an ordinary girl next to him." One of Katerina\'s largest insecurities had always been standing next to the man she loved.
She knew exactly who he was and how brightly he shined in the spotlight and under the gaze of all the cameras.
"You look down at yourself too much." Nicole said as she walked over fully dressed with her baby bump proudly on display.
"Honestly, if I didn\'t know you were a very successful lawyer in your own right, I would have asked you to model for me." Selina said with a wink.
Katerina sighed and shook her head, she knew no good could come from arguing with these women. They were even worse than the other lawyers she faced in court.
Three hours later, outside Islands Inc.\'s main building.
The employees of Islands Inc. were puzzled as to the sudden presence of paparazzi outside their office.
Islands Inc. was often ignored by the media, unless it involved their CEO and her even more powerful husband, Cedric Reyes.
As they began to leave the building, they were shocked to find a line of expensive and extravagant cars waiting outside.
Another rare vision were the handsome and rich men leaning against the white Rolls Royce at the center of the driveway.
"What is taking them so long?" Guan Ming grumbled to Cedric as he looked up at the building.
He got a message from Camilla four hours ago informing him that she was headed to Islands Inc. to get ready and that he should pick her up there instead of at R Tower.
"Ah, you\'re an only child, I\'ve forgotten." Ian teased as he placed an arm on Guan Ming\'s shoulder, treating the normally intimidating businessman as if he were his junior.
"Women take forever to get ready, we already adjusted our arrival to expect a four hour prep time." Alexi said as he straightened his suit. "Relax, Adolfo, you\'ll do fine." He gave the younger man next to him a kind smile.
Among the men gathered, he would normally be considered the least. But Cedric and his friends never looked down at the young man, even if Adolfo and Natalia rarely spent time with them.
The couple was much younger, so they liked different things.
"They are on their way down." Cedric said as the men quickly fixed themselves and waited for their women.
Around Islands Inc. several reporters noticed the change in demeanor coming from the men. Where they had been relaxed earlier, things were now a bit more tense.
Several had the sense to lift their cameras and point it towards the doors.
Soon the women stepped out, and to the surprise of the crowd, several children. Including a charming young man with half his face covered by a mask. He was firmly holding on to a stroller by his side where everyone assumed the twins were.
"It seems you and your friends can attract the media even for a small outing like this." Guan Ming whispered into Camilla\'s ear as he planted a small kiss on her cheeks, something most of the journalists failed to catch.
