Captivation: Want Nothing But You

The next morning, Rachel woke up to the sound of the alarm clock.She turned it off and lay on the bed for a while, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling in bafflement before she realized she wasn't at home, but in her hotel room in Yaprye.

They had landed at three in the morning and by that time, she had been so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open.

When they had finally arrived at the hotel and was being shown to her room, she had thought she heard Victor talking to Ivan about her, but she couldn't be sure.

The sound of a doorbell got her out of her reverie.

She rubbed her face and got out of bed, then walked to the door and opened it.She saw Ivan standing there, flanked by two people, one of whom Rachel had met before.

"Miss Bennet, the people in charge of your… styling are here," Ivan said, his face expressionless as always.

"So nice to see you again, Miss Bennet.This is my assistant," Eva said, smiling broadly.

She was wearing a light pink cheongsam and her long hair was tied up, just like the last time Rachel had seen her.It wasn't until she heard the word "styling" that she finally remembered what it was Victor had said to Ivan last night.

He had ordered a stylist found to help Rachel get ready for the party.He wanted her to look her best for Drake's party and avoid the embarrassment of her choosing the 'wrong' outfit.

Rachel moved to the side and said, "Come in."

Ivan turned around and left as soon as Eva and her assistant crossed the threshold.Rachel yawned and remembered she hadn't even washed up yet.

"Have a seat.I'll go wash up and be right back in a few minutes," she called over her shoulder as she headed for the bathroom.

Eva simply nodded in response and she began taking her things out of the small suitcase she had brought with her.

Rachel returned a couple of minutes later and saw several dresses lying on the bed.

The vanity table was full of cosmetics.

Rachel took a look at her watch and said, "It's only eight in the morning.I don't think I need to dress up so early, do I?"

With a gentle smile on her face, Eva replied, "Miss Bennet, I'm just doing what Mr.Sullivan told me to."

Rachel bit her lower lip and sat in front of the dresser without any more questions.

"Okay, go ahead, then."
