EXCLUSIVELY MINE
CHAPTER TWO
It was already crowded when they got to the party because they were late.
All thanks to little miss Desi who spent the whole time trying to fix herself.
She had been rambling the whole night on how she was going to make an entrance. Nick, who finally got tired of her, quietly put on his headphone. When the taxi got to the venue, Nick alighted and waited for the little one to follow along but to his amazement, he saw her sitting like an impeccably brought up young lady. Shoulders high, back straight, chin up, with no intention of getting down.
Even the cab driver got impatient.
"Desiree Le grande! Have you lost your senses? Aren't you getting down? Or do you want to leave with the driver". Nick shouted.
That was when she turned to face her brother
"Dearest brother, are you blind? Aren't you being insensitive right now? Look over there, Have you seen any of your mates alone? They are all with their dates!"
She said as she rolled her eyes.
"And here I am, trying to save you the embarrassment of walking in alone. But, you are still dumb enough not to realize that you have to open the car door for me and lead me out, with a bow. You are supposed to be a gentle man not some hoodlum! I pity your girlfriend"
She said
"oh that is if you will ever have one".
She relaxed a bit and said again
"I'm still waiting to be escorted out or we are going to be really late" she concluded with a bossy expression on her face.
The cab driver nearly fainted when he saw how bossy she was.
Without wasting much time, Nick escorted her out.
"that's more like it" she said as they walked in.
"Now would you put on a smile on that face, you are going to ruin my entrance" she complained yet again
It was Nick's turn to roll his eyes
He was already wondering why Nick wasn't there yet. His birthday party was almost reaching its peak but still no sign of his best friend.
"Master Kingston" he heard a voice that drew him out of his thoughts,
he looked over to see a lady dressed in a blue dinner gown that clung to her body, to reveal her body curves. She smiled radiantly while making her way towards him with a glass of champagne in her hands.
"Master Kingston, happy birthday"
She finally said as she drew closer to him.
"Thank you, and you are?" he asked with his deep voice as he arched his brow, trying to make out who she was.
"oh! Master Kingston, your memory must be bad for you to have forgotten me, I'm Sharon Holloway, we went to the same high school, Didn't you see me at graduation? She asked with excitement while making eyes, secretly, with the girls in the hall, who were staring at the both of them with jealousy. She felt fulfilled with herself. She was finally talking with the legendary young master of the Kingston's, Michael.
The Kingston's typically controlled the business sector in Finland. Their company, Kingston corporation, was on top of the game.
Michael being the only child of Mr and Mrs Kingston, is the sole heir of that company. Now imagine if she, Sharon, gets married to Michael, that
would only make her the heiress. And here was she, talking with him. She wasn't going to let the opportunity pass her by.
"Sorry I don't know you" Michael finally spoke up after carefully looking at her and reading her thoughts, he had already seen her kind, not once, not twice. Leeches! He thought as he swept past her.
