A luxurious white limousine pulled up to the Palazzo della Exhibition Centre in Venice, announcing the arrival of the Santani di Rosa family, First, Contessa Emma and Il Conte Alessandro, Bianca's parents, stepped out.
followed by Celia and Bianca.
The red carpet stretched from their car all the way to the palace where the party would be held.
Entering the palace was breathtaking, making Celia blink twice as she looked at its magnificence.
The hall was very large, covered with a luxurious red carpet that covered the entire floor,
embroidered at the edges with gold threads, while in the middle, There is a lotus flower embroidered with the same threads parallel to the huge crystal chandelier at the top,
its lamps casting their light on the walls of the hall covered with the most beautiful works of art from various painters around the world, allowing the details of the painting to be seen clearly.
When you look up, you find floors displaying dresses and luxurious items belonging to old Italian princesses and duchesses.
In the middle, there is a long table displaying the most delicious sweets and drinks, in addition to waiters who are spread out everywhere distributing luxury drinks to the attendees.
The guests were from noble families, wealthy individuals, and politicians;
the men wore elegant suits and Masquerade Masks, the women wore elegant dresses And masks too perfectly complementing their gowns, Because it was one of the dress codes laid out by Duke de Cavali , which blatantly proclaimed their owners' immense wealth.
The beauty of the dresses enhanced the overall glamour of the event.
Celia was in love with every detail of this party as she and Bianca wandered around.
Celia was wearing a long, tight black dress with a circular opening in the middle of her back,
along with a genuine white fur shawl, long black lace gloves and a mask of the same type Surrounding Her blue eyes .
Her black hair was pulled up in an elegant hairstyle, she had wine-red lipstick, and high heels Red underneath .
She looked like an Italian princess!!
Return to the past
Celia went up to her room carrying the large package that had arrived with that message, "You will be the queen of the party, kisses."
When she read the message, she knew it was from Bianca.
She rolled her eyes and opened the package
.
No way! She gasped in shock when she pulled out the gorgeous black dress and the white furry shawl—everything she really needed.
Then her attention was drawn to a box at the bottom. She opened it to find a black wig and blue contact lenses. She raised an eyebrow and quickly grabbed her phone.
"Can you please explain to me what the hell you sent?"
she heard laughter from The other side !!
"Biancaaa،" Celia screamed,
"Calm down, damn it, it's for the evening party."
"Before you start screaming again, the wig and lenses are only to hide your identity, because you are so beautiful as you know you don't need these, just... I know you don't feel comfortable at our parties, so I thought you would be more comfortable like this, the beautiful mystery, I'm afraid this rumor will spread about you, "
Celia rolled her eyes in boredom. She was really beginning to regret agreeing to go with that crazy woman. What in God's name were these thoughts? !!!
" I swear, Bianca, this will be the last time I listen to you. I deserve this. "
"Okay, okay, you can regret it later. I'm busy now. Goodbye. I'll come pick you up this evening. Get ready."
The alarm rang, it was half past seven
"Damnnnnn it!!!"
Celia screamed and jumped up to get ready quickly. She was late for the damn job and she didn't want to get in trouble with that bastard because of her lateness.
She got ready quickly and left without eating breakfast, running to Larsen Company.
....
Celia entered the company at 8:05. It was truly a miracle.
She said good morning, as usual, to everyone she met, and they ignored her, as usual.
Rodolfo watched this with enjoyment on the security cameras.
She entered her office and started working quickly.
Sarah told her that Rodolfo had canceled all the meetings for the day. That was good news، But he will be meeting with her to evaluate her work over the past week.
Well, that's not good.
"Good morning "
He ignored her and got straight to the point.
She bit the inside of her cheek in anger.
"Um, I have to admit you're doing quite well compared to a medical student who has no connection whatsoever to numbers and computers".
" I have many talents ".
" I see "
" Does cooking include? "
"Pardon? "
"Make me an espresso "
Celia felt heat rising through her body, from her feet to her head.
Was this bastard trying to provoke her?, humiliate her?
or what?
What did he think he was?
Hundreds of criminal scenarios raced through her mind: hitting him with the vase opposite her, no, hitting him with the chair she was sitting on, or throwing him off the tenth floor of the building.
She woke up to his annoying voice, which she now considered one of the most unpleasant sounds in her vocabulary.
" Do I need to repeat my words"
"Unfortunately, Mr. Rodolfo, my list of talents is very limited, so yes, cooking is not among them."
He raised an eyebrow sarcastically.
"You're trying to convince me you don't know how to make espresso?"
"Firstly, yes, I don't know. Secondly, my employment contract does not include preparing coffee for you or anything like that".
" You are my assistant, of course that includes "
She was biting her lower lip, trying to control her anger and not act rashly and hit him; she cursed him silently hundreds of times.
"You work for me and you will do as I tell you; in my world, contracts are just pieces of paper."
"Well, in my world, My normal world certainly، contracts are everything."
"Now you are in my company, in my abnormal world you will follow its rules Unless you are..."
"What, Mr. Larsen? Do I smell an implicit threat?"
"Yes, and I'm afraid you're about to taste it too." He raised his eyebrow defiantly.
"What ! she say so naively No, no, what's wrong with you? We're just having a conversation, a discussion, as you know." Then she continued,
"I mean, a normal conversation Of course"
He closed his eyes and said,
"Celia, outttttt! ."
She turned and left quickly, cursing him in every language she knew.
...
In the evening, when she finished work, Celia didn't waste any time.
She quickly got ready for the party,
and minutes later the limousine pulled up in front of her house.
Bianca was waving excitedly from the window،
Celia stepped down in the royal gown she was wearing.
"Damn, Celia, you look amazing!"
" Your taste will definitely be great."
Bianca smiled proudly .
she sat in the car after greeting the Count and Countess.
Bianca was wearing a very long pink dress made of elegant French lace with scattered red roses, along with a small red hat with a tiny net; she looked like a real princess..
They strolled through the palace, gazing at the magnificent paintings.
Each painting had a story, creating a wonderful atmosphere.
People were everywhere, gathered in circles around paintings,
some recounting the story behind its creation, others trying to buy it and haggling for the highest price. And others are simply in love with art.
Celia looked on with immense joy, feeling truly grateful because she had fallen in love with every detail, especially the eye masks. It was her first time wearing them.
she looked at Bianca.
"Thank you, Bianca. I really needed this."
"Here for you, always, Honey "
" Rich people's parties aren't all that bad after all. "She said it while poking Bianca's arm
" Marcello hasn't been banned yet, the curse must come "
"What in God's name are you planning?" " You will see، I'll make him burn with jealousy. "
Celia rolled her eyes in boredom, then took a glass of juice from the servant.
She didn't drink before, she had taken her first sip, she froze in place as she watched someone enter.
"No, no, no"
" Mierda, Mierda, Mierda!! "
When Celia insults in Spanish, it means she's in trouble!!
