After having another day off Veronica felt more relaxed and calmer.
"Ooh what have you been doing I see you got a new glow did you meet someone." Imani teased
"No, I took care of myself and made myself glow, why must you think I met someone." She laughed
"I don't know you seem more happier, I expected to see you at work yesterday what happened."
"Oh, there was an incident on Saturday, so Mr. Tate gave me an extra day due to me coming on my off day.
"Mr. Tate? The same man who looks like he could Jill someone with this glare but is still fine."
"No, the Mr. Tate who is my boss is the one who let me have an off day. What's wrong with you?"
"Oh, hush I may be a married woman, but I know how to appreciate a fine man."
" Oh, this is my floor, so I'll see you at lunch."
"Yeah, see you Imani."
"Byeeee Ronnie with the fresh glow." Imani cackled as she left the elevator.
Making her way to her desk she was stopped by Felix; she had completely forgotten about his existence.
"Mr. Tate wants you to complete these in the next hour. Now that we were able to find the lost files."
"They found the files where was it." She said as she collected the paperwork.
As she looked up, she saw Felix was nowhere in sight
Jerk could have at least answered my question.
She made her way to her desk after settling her belongings she went to go make Mr. Tates coffee.
"Knock, knock I made your coffee I'll just set it down here." She whispered as he was on a phone call
He nodded his head while continuing his conversation putting a thumbs up as a way of saying thank you.
After finishing his conversation Veronica had come back with half the finished paperwork.
"I heard they found the files."
"Yeah, I was on the phone with the contractors, and we have finally sealed the deal."
"That's good so, what's the next task?"
"I need to go to the final meeting I was coming to get you so we can go together."
"Well let's go in ready and I'm practically almost done with the first task."
——————-
"Congratulations everyone we created a successful campaign and tonight we celebrate with an office party. So, finish your rounds go home and I'll look forward to seeing you tonight." Mr. Ross cheered
——————-
"So, what are you planning to wear for the party I wanna be sexy but also respectful if you get what I mean." Veronica nodded in agreement
" Well, I have this new dress that I haven't tried on its sexy in the chest area but still able to wear to a formal."
"Well, we still got a couple hours to go the party starts at 8, right?"
Veronica nodded " yeah but we gotta start getting ready now you know you're doing my makeup Imani."
2 hours later and the ladies looked captivating
They arrived late at the party, around 10 pm, due to them singing and dancing away.
Once they arrived and entered the office hall
People were already dancing, and it seemed like they were already drunk. She could see other coworkers dancing and grinding on friends and partners.
The girls both shook their heads and went to go get some drinks.
That's when they heard their song playing.
"Ooh you remember our routine Ronnie from the time we went to the club."
"Imani you seem to forget we are still at work."
"Girl, I don't care I'm gonna dance my butt off." Imani quickly made her way to the dance floor dancing with the other coworkers.
Veronica just shook her head at her friend laughing. She couldn't have been tipsy already?
After finishing her drink, she made an attempt to leave from the bar, not before bumping into a hard chest.
"Oh, I'm sorry I should watch where I'm going."
"Hey at least you didn't have a drink this time."
She immediately knew who that was and as she looked up, she froze.
He looked tempting and better yet sexy.
His long Locs were packed in his signature hair bun he wore a black blazer with a black shirt underneath with a gold cross chain laying on his neck. The way he looked at her made her feel flabbergasted to her he looked as if he wanted to ravish her.
And that's exactly what Ahmad wanted to do, he wanted her to be in his bed. The red dress she wore complimented her hips and ass and tits the dress complimented everything, and her hair made her look extravagant he wanted to know how good she would feel in his arms. Or how loud he could get her to moan his name.
"You look beautiful Veronica."
She thanked GOD she was black to hide the blush before then saying thank you.
She looked at the crowd dancing and she couldn't help but want to join.
"Umm I was gonna go dance, would you like to join, I mean you don't have to I'm not forcing you, but you can join when you want to." She rambled off afraid of his reaction.
"Veronica breathe, I don't usually dance but just for you to calm down I'll accept."
She sighed in relief and led him to the dance floor.
They slow danced and overall had a good time they had a conversation getting to know him more and he got to know her more on his interests and even had a couple more drinks Veronica took more tho making her extra lose.
"I don't think your cooking could beat my cooking."
She reared her head back in offence
"I'll have you know I'm the best cook. There is no one is better than me."she slightly slurred.
Ahmad could tell she was beginning to get drunk, but he found her entertaining in the way she challenged him.
"We would have to see about that miss Calhoun."
"Yeah, right Mr. Tate I challenge you to a cook off.
Ahmad raised his brows " A cook off?"
"Yes, a cook off my place at 6pm and we will see who is the best."
He laughed and shook her head at her actions.
"Ronnie are you ready to go."
Veronica frowned looking at Imani, she was enjoying herself.
"-I"
"Actually, I'll take her home"
Imani raised a brow since when they did these two get along.
"Ok no problem you call me when you get home Ronnie"
Veronica nodded her head and gave a thumbs up to Imani while still looking at Ahmad and his eyes were still on her you would think the two were a couple.
Imani shook her head and took off.
