chapter 5 contd.
Robert asked the same and the man answered I am Montgomery Elena is my wife she is a beautiful and I have been instructed by the manager to smarten you up for the party.
Both Gillian and Robert agreed to getting dressed up for the party.
Elena was a beautiful lady and was a very experienced beautician but she never spoke much to anyone.

Firstly, Elena asked Gillian to wear the dress, so , she went to the washroom and opened her dress it was a long silk wine coloured dress with intricate embroidery and pearls that were gleaming when the light fell on them.
she wore the dress and came out and stood in front of Elena where her dressing table was.
Elena looked at her and said you look beautiful in this dress and she held out her hand towards Gillian and helped her to be seated in front of the dressing table.
Elena did her makeup.
Gillians hair was falling like curls in front of her face, then she wore her shoes which were pencil heeled.
Elena finished her work and asked Gillian to take a look at herself in the mirror.
when she looked at herself she was unable to recognise herself.
Then there was a knock at the door
Elena opened the door and found the manager standing in front of her.
He said it was time for the party to start .
Elena answered yes she is ready and I am bringing her down.
Elena! closed the door and said : Madame it's time to go.
Gillian said : Yes! even I am ready to go.
Elena caught her hand and closed the door behind them and slowly took Gillian down the stairs.
The moment she stepped down everyone looked at her , she didn't know anyone but everyone came to her and introduced themselves.
She was happy to be a centre of attraction for everyone but her eyes
were only looking for Robert while talking to everyone at the back of her mind she had a scary thinking that how on earth is she going to recognise Robert in this unknown crowd when there was a light tap on her shoulder she turned around and found him standing behind her looking at her intensely.
Gillian had an uneasy feeling in her stomach but she just smiled.
This was the first time when Gillian took a look at Robert he was looking
damn handsome in his blue tuxedo suit and his eyes looked intense.
Gillian became mesmerized by his looks.
In the same way Robert looked at her
for the first time and he quietly put his mouth close to her ears and said:
" Gillian you look gorgeous and ravishing but it seems that you are very far away."
Gillian said " Thank you for the compliment Robert."
and I haven't seen you either in this way before.
Robert said: "The pleasure is all mine".
After a while the music started and Robert said: Will you care to have a dance with me senorita".
Gillian answered : Yes I would but I don't know how to dance.
Robert said Don't worry as in a very famous saying " Man leads and the woman follows."
Gillian followed and when the music stopped ,she found Robert bending towards her mouth his eyes even more Intense looking at her Gillian then slowly turned her mouth away and gave Robert her cheek to be touched lightly and she heard his voice asking
her : " Gillian will you be mine forever".
Gillian kept quiet and with her eyes looking straight into his asked Robert
are you asking this question to me seriously?
He said yes I am serious ly asking you this question.
When I saw you for the first time I had fallen for you but I kept quiet because I didn't want to be rejected,
I told the same thing to my parents when you had gone to your room.
Gillian said: " What did your parents say, Robert said that they were really happy and my father liked you and so did my mom but they asked me not to say anything to you untill our " Jim Case" is solved .
But always remember one thing I am not going to let you go so easily no matter what said Robert.
