130 You're Teasing Them Even More

"Seriously why must this gala have to be of a formal attire? Why not just casual?" Amber complained as she wears her gown.

She was speaking with Alissa on the other side of the phone, her dress was of course once again created by Jake France.

"Geez you really, just how many do you think were jealous of you every time you wear such evening gowns?" Alissa rolled her eyes despite not seeing Amber.

"Well I'm just grateful of aunt Jacqueline that she made it into a short sleeve one instead of sleeveless.

It was a v neck mermaid gown, colored royal blue. Amber was also grateful that the v neck part was not too low, it was enough for her cleavage to be hidden, her collarbones were the only visible ones.

"Of course aunt Jacqueline knows you very well, he wanted to make it a bit more revealing but you would have killed him," Alissa replied with a laugh.

The galaxy colored dress she wore way back when Amber and Haley attended, Haley's grandfather's birthday party, was already enough to make so many people turn their heads to look at her.

What more now that her body has developed enough to actually contend to them, models?

Even Alissa was jealous at how proportionate Amber's body was. It has the right curves at the right places, but she was also not too thin like some of the actors out there.

Instead she has a few baby fats that makes her look even sexier.

"No wonder Ashton Wright fell in love with you," after some thought Alissa commented.

"Yeah right and he will answer you with, your looks will not make me look back at you," Amber replied sarcastically.

Alissa laughed at her remark.

Amber, finally done changing, reopened her video camera and showed Alissa, how it looks on her.

Dumbfounded, Alissa suddenly run out and upon returning she was already with Jake France.

"Gosh you really brings justice to my dresses," he exclaimed upon seeing Amber wearing the dress.

"Yeah well I wish the next time you make one, it won't be this fitted," Amber said with a roll of her eyes.

"Shut up, if I ever make another one, it would have a slit reaching your thigh and the v neck would be lower. Just why can't you show more of your assets, hmmm?" Jake France replied with his own roll of eyes.

"Please, I don't need those eyes filled with envy and lust, I had too much of that already," Amber gritted her teeth with her reply.

"Come to think of it, where's Hayley?" Amber asked.

"In the phone," was their reply at the same time.

"Oooohhh," she reacted.

In the past whether they would have video calls, it was always Hayley who wanted to hog the camera all for herself, she was also the one telling so many things that they would have to speak for almost three hours.

"Okay, bye, go out there and take all their attentions to yourself," Alissa waved her goodbye.

"She didn't need everyone's attention, she only needs HIS attention," Jake France corrected and with a wink, dropped the call.

Amber defeatedly shook her head at him.

She sighed upon seeing her stiletto, it was a silver colored one and it was three inch in height. Quite high but Jake France was adamant in sending the heels that she should pair with her gown.

With a shrug she wore it and checked her look one last time.

Just like the time during the wedding, she chose not to tie her hair with anything, the hair reached her elbow and its wavy style gave it more volume.

It was lustrous and soft that to fix it will not give it justice.

Upon coming out, Ashton was already waiting by the stairs.

"You could have just worn it in the car," he commented.

"Nah, since I wore heels only once in a blue moon, I just thought that maybe I should enjoy it for the entirety of the night," she answered.

Ashton was already used to her randomness that he just reached out his hand for her to hold on as they descend the stairs and out of the house.

*****

"That's her?"

"That is her."

"It was said that she wears a mask because of a scar."

"I have heard that it was true, she showed it during her second day at SNN."

"She was able to enter SNN?"

"They said she was capable enough."

"You guys didn't know? She actually has close connection with the president of SNN."

"Must be connections."

"But can you see that confidence? She was of humble birth but see just how confident she walks."

"Must be because of the young master of the Wright Empire."

"But I've seen the news of him being a cold blooded person and being a beast."

"They said no one must anger him the slightest or they will face hell."

"That is indeed true, still he was a young master of a royal family, plus his looks, it was on par with the young master of Price empire who was the most famous right now."

Just as Ashton and Amber arrived, they garnered quite a lot of attention.

Gossips, looks of envy, looks of admiration, looks of sarcasm.

They garnered quite a lot of them but both walked with their heads held high and as if to rub salt to the wounds of those who looked at her with envy when they spoke of her working at SNN, she nudged at Ashton and both walked towards Brian Cooper and Leslie Lane.

SNN becoming quite big, Leslie Lane who was the face of SNN was obviously invited.

Amber also asked Jake France for a dress for her to wear, this time it was a yellow almost golden colored long sleeve off shoulder gown.

"Yup just as I thought, you two do look good together. It was right that you two are each others date," she teased upon approaching the both of them.

"You, on the other hand, still acts the way you always do. But I must say, you really do look different when you wear such clothes," Brian commented.

"Don't act too stiff, you are a president," Amber noticing how uncomfortable Leslie stood, looked at her and said.

"Easy for you to say, this is my first time having a gala with the most prominent people," Leslie complained.

"You have been with Brian for more than a week now, I can say that most of them are the same as he was," Amber replied.

"Why can I hear insult in your words?" Brian butted in.

Seeing the way Amber spoke with Brian and Leslie, she once again felt a lot of piercing looks.

"You can't feel those looks?" Leslie asked her seeing Amber's nonchalant look.

The moment she came in with Brian she could already feel some envious look, being a partner of a royal descend was still a privilege even if that means that they are not the next heir.

"Isn't that why I approached you in the first place?" Amber replied with an amused look.

"You're teasing them even more," Leslie commented helplessly.

"Oh if I could I would approach all of them, I wonder just how deadly would those people look? Don't you find it fun?" Amber added.

"Bro, no one will really take this girl away from you, no one would be able to handle her at all," Brian looked at Ashton and said.

"If that makes her happy then why not," Ashton replied.

It was normal during these kinds of events for them to interact with one another.

"You know what, I really am wondering why are all of you acting like thieves, whenever you have gatherings. Why not do it in the open, show them that you all are actually acquainted," Amber finally voiced out the question she had after meeting all of them.

Ashton and Brian looked at each other before they scanned the place to check the others.

"What are you all scared off?" Amber continued her asking.

Both men didn't speak, they just didn't want to have more trouble of their family knowing that they are actually friends with each other. Though it was fine with Ashton's family.

"I won't push you to actually make it public but if you are just scared of shallow things, don't you think that it's a shame? You could do so many things if you let go of those worries but chose not to. I feel that that would be your loss," Amber continued.

Just in time for Glenn and Madison to get close to them.

"It is a pleasure to finally meet the president of SNN Beginnings, everyone was truly wondering what was the meaning behind this name," Glenn reached out his hand towards Leslie.

"A pleasure to meet the young master of Price Empire, the name itself is what makes the company even more mysterious, don't you think so mister Price?" Leslie replied as she accepted his hand.
