Aloof CEO's; Charming Secretary

The trio sitting around knew which was 'That wedding' she mentioned.

David patted on her hands and spoke, "If you don't want, you can reject it."

Sky sat up straight, "Of course not! This is the first wedding I will be the maid of honor. I'm kind of looking forward to it." She was once a bridesmaid when her classmate got married.

"Silly!" David rubbed her head dotingly.

"Okay! I have a busy day tomorrow. First I have to go with them for a wedding gown and bridesmaid gown selection followed by I have to go to Harley resort. I have many files to finish today. See you at dinner."

Sky who took few steps turned towards Arlo, "Are you coming with me? or sitting with Dad?"

"I will help you out." Arlo told her and nodded at David before following her.

With his help, Sky finished all the files before dinner. After dinner, Arlo left for the Smith mansion.

The next day after breakfast Sky left with Sam to Bridal shop.

Elina was with her parents and Peter was present when Sky went in with Sam.

Sky's introduction with Elina's parents was like Sky Barton. Soon they started trials of wedding gowns for Elina.

Since they were under budget, She liked only a few pieces but she wasn't satisfied. After talking with her, Sky strolled the designer shop, she gave her two dresses to try on.

One was A-line gown and another one was mermaid style gown. Elina liked the mermaid style so as her parents.

"May I know the price?" Elina asked the manager. "650 US dollars only." Manager responded.

Elina and her family's budget for the dress were 400. Sky knew Elina would reject it due to price so she spoke, "It's on me!"

"No, No. How can I take it from you? It's okay, I will check another dress."

"Child! It's expensive." Elina's mother told Sky.

Peter was in the groom's section, so Sky couldn't ask him to convince. "Consider this as my gift. Since you liked it, you should go for it." Sky amiably convinced her.

The latter took time and nodded her head. She hugged Sky almost startling her, "Thank you so much."

Sky sighed and smiled, "I will call your groom."

She called Peter who was in a black tuxedo. Even though Peter didn't show much on his face, Sam and Sky could feel how emotional he was looking at Elina.

Sky whispered to him, "Go on! I can help you close the curtains."

Sam knocked on her head, "Can't you see her parents?"

Sky shrugged him off and closed curtains when Peter went to her. She then turned to the manager, "Please show us where is bridesmaid dresses?"

"Mrs.Paxton, please help me select a dress?" Sky said glared at Sam to take Mr.Paxton.

Mr&Mrs Paxton knew what was going on but still, they went with the flow and left Peter and Elina.

Sky was selecting the simplest plain gown and Mrs.Paxton was selecting which had lace and other detailing works.

"Mrs.Paxton, It will be Elina's day. Why does Bridesmaid need such a grand dress? This is simple and beautiful. I like this bow too."

She chose a blush pink, scooped neck, plain, sleeveless, knee-length, A-line dress. It had a big bow in the back of its lower waist.

It was the simplest dress she could find in the collection which Mrs.Paxton didn't really like it. It looked too pale with respect to the wedding gown which Sky selected for Elina.

Yes! That was the aim of Sky while selecting the dress. She didn't want to attract even a tiny bit of attention. But she didn't know she was underestimating herself. How they carry the dress was more important than the simplicity or grand look of the dress.

Mrs.Paxton gave in to her after hearing she liked the bow. "Okay, Try this on! If others say no like me, you have to choose another one."

Sky reluctantly nodded and went towards the trial area where the curtains were open and Elina was asking for fittings. She then changed and came out, Elina was near her, "Don't say no."

Everybody looked at Sky in a simple gown but she looked very elegant and graceful. The Bow behind her waist added more detail to figure making her look enchanting with curves.

"It was the simplest dress in the shop and costs only 45 US dollars. She looks beautiful in that too. No doubt she insisted on this." Mrs.Paxton told to her husband.

"Is it Yes or No?"

"Yes!" All felt the same as Mrs.Paxton but nobody said anything to her.

Sky sighed. It was lace-up back, she didn't need any fittings. Since groomsmen didn't come, Sam and Peter had to stay back.

Four had lunch in the nearest restaurant. Arlo picked Sky to the Harley resort.

With four Harley guards, Sky and Arlo reached near the parking of Resorts guests where all guests would reach there.

Since there was a lake nearby and it was time nearing to sunset, Sky started to feel cold. It wasn't that cold in the capital hence she wore an asymmetrical long jacket on Jeans and T-shirt.

She pulled her hoodie cap on and stuffed her hands in pockets. There were still fifteen minutes for their checkouts hence she heard reports of resort manager.

Arlo saw her and put on his jacket on her. Sky looked at him who was wearing only a full sleeve sweatshirt.

"You will feel cold if you give it to me. Wear it back." Sky handed his jacket back.

"I'm not cold." Arlo said.

Instead of wrapping her, he made her wear it. Sky glanced at the manager and his secretary who were alternatively looking at her.

'are Sky Barton and the CEO's secretary...?'

Sky wore the jacket and let him fold sleeves. "What about the fencing around the area?" Sky asked after the manager reported everything.

"It will be completed in two days." The manager replied and turned towards the other side where two were cycling towards them.

"Why are your hands so cold?" When he folded sleeves, her fingertips brushed his hand.

Sky knew her palms get cold faster. "I will stuff in the pockets to warm it."

After folding both sleeves, he held her palms in between his palms ignoring her gaze.
