POV: Nero

I was late. 

It's not completely my fault. Just partially. Initially, I intentionally planned to be an hour late until I found out the finance department was entering the hall place together in order to give some badass entrance, so everyone needed to be there. Which cued complete panic for both Aiden and I. 

Yes, Aiden. Why Aiden you ask? 

Because this man refused to let me go unless he got me ready. Oh, by the way, I gave the man hell for days for meddling. The hell included things such as cutting off his wifi for two days, not letting him sleep for another two, showing up to his work and pretending to be the brother of his ex who he got pregnant (which was unlikely since he prefers Ds over Vs) and much, much more. Let's just say, he's learnt to back off where he's not wanted.

Anyway, he apparently hated my fashion sense and every item I owned because once again, he threw me in his very expensive Armani suit. It was a very dark grey colour and it's paired with a similar suit jacket. The tie was made out of silk and it was a simple royal blue colour with no pattern, accompanied by a white shirt. He made me wear contacts which were meant to be coloured but I absolutely refused because it was going to be blue. Like why? We opted for normal prescription contacts. 

He fixed up my hair so it didn't look like the usual shagged up mess that it is. It still looked kind of shaggy but a more purposeful shaggy. A neat and enticing shag. If that made any sense. Regardless, it definitely made me look a lot cleaner and sharper. All the bling on my ears, lips and fingers were mine as they actually looked nice according to Aiden. Gave me a mature bad boy vibe. The lip piercing would make me stand out from the rest of the crowd so I wasn't initially going to go with it but, Assden wanted me to be the best looking invitee which was a complete ass move since he knew how much I'd rather blend in. The only reason I agreed was because he called me a drama queen and now I needed to prove I wasn't a drama queen.

Aiden said makeup was also a must, putting on some eyeliner, brown eyeshadow and light pink lip tint. The concealer was avoided to not hide the freckles, as it gave me character according to the smurf haired fucker and if it was covered up, people wouldn't apparently recognise me. And I didn't doubt him because holy shit I did not look like me. There was no time to fret over it though because as soon as we were done, Aiden shoved me into the Uber and bid me goodbye before he went back to his work to work on some exclusive, important project (that's why I couldn't plus one his sorry ass. He cried about missing out for at least two days).

Which brought us to when I had to half sprint to the front of the Hyatt Hotel (A/N this is not the real life Hyatt. This is some made up 7 star hotel. Pretend. It's all pretend) because the Uber driver got somewhat lost. I'd usually be fine with it except I couldn't be late. He made me like twenty minutes late instead of ten. Regardless, I was in front of the revolving doors and as people walked past me in their best looks, I had my hands on my knees and I was trying to catch my breath. Aiden is going to flip if my hair and makeup is ruined before I even entered the damn venue and he'll know. He always does. I swear this guy inserted some sort of camera on my body. Cutting my thoughts short, I finally went through the revolving doors into the bustling hotel lobby.
