Chapter Eighty : The promotion

Maya's POV

It took everything in me not to smack Niklaus on the head right now. We were going to a charity gala and he was just telling me now?!

He repeated when I didn't give him a response "The company is organizing a charity gala ball and auction that will be graced by some of the world's business leaders, celebrities, political leaders, influencers and members of the public who believes in giving back to the society .

"Although it's just an avenue to showoff wealth and splendor but the charity gala would raise funds for established foundations catering for orphans and terminally-ill children and you're coming as my date. "

" No way " I murmured under my breath but he heard it.

"No way what? "

I pulled away from him and sat up and he did the same " Why are you telling me this now?! You knew I was going to come along with you to such an important and high-class occasion and you kept mum all this time?! "
