Chapter 50\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oliver\u2019s POV\u00a0<\/p>\n
I adjusted my bow tie as Hunter drove me to the fancy party. He kept looking at me through the rearview mirror with worried eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYoung Master Oliver, I really don\u2019t think this is a good idea,\u2018 Hunter said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMommy will wear my present tonight. I want to see her shining in the crowd! And I\u2019ll be her secret knight, watching over her, I replied with excitement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When we arrived, I saw all the fancy people walking into the hotel. Hunter opened my door with a sigh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Remember, Young Master. Look from a safe distance, then we leave before your father notices.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI promise,\u201d I said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Getting inside was easy. I just walked close to a family with children, and the security people didn\u2019t notice me. Once inside, I hid behind a big marble\u00a0<\/p>\n
column and started looking for Mommy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room was huge with sparkly chandeliers and flowers everywhere. And then I saw her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mommy was standing near the center of the room, looking beautiful. Her dark hair was styled with little sparkles, and she was smiling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hunter appeared beside me, somehow finding my hiding spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSee? Isn\u2019t Mommy the prettiest lady here?\u201d I whispered to him. \u201cThat\u2019s because of my dress!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hunter looked where I was pointing. \u201cYoung master, I believe that\u2019s not the blue gown you selected. That appears to be a different dress.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
My excitement turned to confusion as I remembered. \u201cMy dress was blue with sparkles and a big poufy skirt! That\u2019s purple and\u2026 not poufy at all!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho switched my present?\u201d I demanded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hunter cleared his throat. \u201cIf I had to guess, Young Master, I\u2019d say perhaps your father made an alternative selection.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDaddy?!\u201d I frowned, watching as my father stood next to Mommy with his hand on her back. \u201cIt\u2019s just like him to be all controlling! I bet he made her wear\u00a0<\/p>\n
his boring grown\u2013up dress instead of my pretty princess one!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hunter tried not to smile. \u201cThe dress does look quite elegant on her.\u2018\u00a0<\/p>\n
I crossed my arms. \u2018Well, she only looks pretty because she\u2019s already pretty. Not because of that stupid dress.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, a server with a tray full of drinks turned around and almost crashed right into me! I ducked just in time, but the man gasped loudly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Oh! I\u2019m sorry, I didn\u2019t see the server started.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I peeked around the column and saw Daddy\u2019s head turn in our direction, his eyes scanning the crowd. He whispered something to Mommy, then started moving through the party people.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Hunter! Daddy sees us!\u201d I whispered, pulling on Hunter\u2019s sleeve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 50\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hunter looked worried. \u201cYoung Master, perhaps we should-\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo! He\u2019ll ground me forever! I grabbed Hunter\u2019s hand and pulled him toward the crowded area. \u201cLet\u2019s hide over there!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
We moved through the crowd of grown\u2013ups. I could see Daddy looking for us, his face calm but his eyes serious. People kept stopping him to talk, which\u00a0<\/p>\n
slowed him down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just when I thought Daddy was getting too close, I spotted the perfect hiding place behind the thick velvet curtains near one of the big windows. I pulled Hunter with me and we slipped behind them just as Daddy pulled out his phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019s calling for backup. I whispered to Hunter. \u201cProbably Albert.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when I heard familiar voices right next to our hiding spot. I peeked through a tiny gap in the curtains and saw Mommy\u2019s mean sister Selena and another lady with shiny blonde hair standing really close to each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cClaire, I have an idea to make her look like a fool, Selena was whispering, leaning close to the blonde lady\u2019s ear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t hear everything because of the party noise, but I caught words like \u2018spill wine,\u201d \u201cdress,\u201d and \u201ctake her clothes.\u201d My super\u2013spy ears understood exactly what they were planning: they wanted to ruin Mommy\u2019s beautiful dress and make her embarrassed!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey want to spill wine on Mommy\u2019s dress and then steal her clothes when she changes!\u201d I whispered to Hunter, feeling my cheeks get hot with anger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hunter\u2019s eyes widened. \u201cYoung Master, we should inform your father-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo!\u201d I said. \u201cI need to stop them myself!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I looked at Hunter\u2019s black jacket and had the best idea ever. \u201cHunter, I need to borrow your jacket. And that waiter\u2019s hat on the table.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hunter looked nervous but helped me put on his jacket, which was huge on me, and the black cap I grabbed from a nearby service tray. Now I was in disguise like a real spy!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYoung Master, please reconsider-\u201d Hunter started, but I was already slipping out from our hiding spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I watched as Selena picked up a glass of red wine and started moving toward where Mommy was standing. She was wearing a strapless sparkly dress that looked too tight, and her high heels made her wobble like a baby giraffe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Moving fast like a ninja, I darted between the grown\u2013ups\u2018 legs and got right behind Selena just as she was about to \u201caccidentally\u201d bump into Mommy. With perfect timing, I stepped firmly on the back of her long dress.\u00a0<\/p>\n
RRRRRRIPPPPPP!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Selena\u2019s dress didn\u2019t just tear \u2013 it slid right down her body! She froze in the middle of the ballroom, standing there in just her underwear and those silly high heels. The wine glass dropped from her hand and spilled all over the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAAAHHH!\u201d she screamed, trying to cover herself with her hands. Her face turned super red, even redder than the spilled wine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone stopped talking and stared. I hid behind a tall man\u2019s legs, watching the chaos I\u2019d created.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Oh my goodness, is that\u2026 Selena Wright?\u201d a lady gasped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018What are those marks on her skin?\u201d another woman whispered loudly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 50\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAren\u2019t those\u2026 hickeys?\u2018 someone else said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The blonde lady, looked horrified. Instead of helping Selena, she backed away like she didn\u2019t want anyone to know they were friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSomeone get her a tablecloth or something! a kind older lady called out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Selena was crying now, still trying to grab her dress, but people were stepping on it as they moved around to see what was happening. She couldn\u2019t pick it\u00a0<\/p>\n
up!\u00a0<\/p>\n
I slipped back to our hiding spot behind the curtains, where Hunter was waiting with his mouth hanging open.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Young Master Oliver, he whispered, \u2018what did you do?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I gave him back his jacket and hat. I saved Mommy from those mean ladies,\u201d I said proudly. \u201cNobody messes with my mommy!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
From our hiding spot, I could see Daddy looking confused at the commotion. But the best part was seeing Mommy, still beautiful, and completely safe from\u00a0<\/p>\n
Selena\u2019s evil plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMission accomplished, Hunter,\u201d I whispered, feeling like the best spy ever. \u201cNow we can go home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
