"I've got news for you your father doesn't care about anything beyond it's usefulness" said Jinn
He snorted and stepped away from her. he walked towards a pile of packages from several upscale boutique's. She eyed the bags and rolled her eyes didn't he have any idea what an archaeologist made?
he motioned at the bags and said "these are for you please try them on I want to make sure they fit"
She glared at him before opening one of the bags. they contained some very nice business suits. Ones she would have to give up eating if she were to buy them on her salary. the last one contained a dress and heals.
"what's this for?" she said
"an after party I arranged to attend, it helps establish our cover story" said Nuada
"a party surly you must be kidding" she said
"as a matter of fact I am not" he said
he picked up a bag on another chair and she raised an eyebrow and pointedly looked at the bag.
"my tuxedo and a business suit" said Nuada
"your actually going to dress like a human?" she said
she saw his jaw stiffen and couldn't resist the smirk from reaching her lips. it was wonderful knowing exactly which buttons to push with him he smiled coldly and bit back his retort.
"just try them on the sooner this is over the better" he said
"I couldn't agree more" she responded
he snorted and retreated to his room with the bags. she giggled under her breath and picked up her bags. maybe doing this wouldn't be so bad after all. she whistled happily as she retreated to her own room and closed the curtain behind her. she stripped down and tried on the suit first.
unfortunately she had to exit the room to look at herself in the mirror. she found Nuada already there dressed in a very expensive Italian suit. he looked absolutely stunning and she barely clamped her mouth shut in time when he turned. the last thing she wanted was for him to catch her staring in opened mouth awe.
"it looks very nice on you" said Nuada
"thank you" she responded stiffly.
he stared at her as if expecting a response
"you look nice too" she said
just as stiffly as before he smiled at her words and maybe at her discomfort. he started to move forward as if to say something.
"I've got to try on the other one" she said
quickly she retreated to her room. she stripped off the suit and put on the dress. it was incredibly beautiful spaghetti strapped gown in midnight blue. the back dove low and she was forced to go bra less because her straps would be revealed by the dress. she slid on the heals and walked out.
maybe after this was over he'd let her keep the dress. she could certainly use it to revamp her love life. when she looked up he was standing there staring at her. she wasn't sure how to react to the look she saw in his eyes but she knew she didn't like it. she turned to go back in her room and change.
"you look stunning" he said
she glared at him and vanished inside her room quickly put on her old clothes and then walked out of her room again.
"when is it?" she asked
"tomorrow morning we go to the auction house and the party is that evening" he said
she nodded
"I'm going to bed" she said simply and ducked back inside her room
"sleep well" he said softly
