"Eunice, Yo Eunice, wake up Eunice"
Eunice slowly opened her eyes to a piercing voice that resonated within her eardrums. She experienced a sharp pain in her head, causing her to instinctively grab her forehead in discomfort
. "Finally, Whatsup Eunice," A dark, talk and incredibly handsome man said before her, It was the same man who acted as the host at her auction, his eyes shone like polished black stones.
"Argh, my head" Eunice groaned in pain, her hands still clutching her forehead. She tried to recall what happened to her but she couldn't seem to piece together any memories.
"Yo wuz nowhere to be found, man!" the man beside her said with an African American accent, his voice laced with concern.
"I searched all over for Ya and later found ya lying on the floor"
He added.
"What do you mean Nevaeh?" Eunice asked as her heart skipped a beat while she tried to make sense of the situation, she couldn't understand how she could've blacked out during such an auction.
As she tried to shake off the dizziness and confusion, she couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for Nevaeh. That was the name of the handsome man beside her.
"Thank you, Nevaeh ", Eunice said with a little smile on her face
"It's no problem love", Nevaeh replied grinning at her
Eunice's smile immediately changed to a deep frown as she ordered him to leave
"Leave my room" she ordered
"I will if-", "If what?!" Eunice interrupted
Nevaeh continued, "Well if you would, maybe" he said in a low tone.
"What are you saying?!" Eunice asked and he replied
"Well on the cheek, a kiss on the cheek "He finished his statement as his grin widened
At that moment, Eunice didn't care about the headache anymore, she got down from the bed With a fierce expression, she directed a hateful gaze towards him.
"Look, Do not joke with me, I am your boss" She brought him down to his place immediately.
"Man, you look so cute when yo'mad" Nevaeh responded with a lack of concern about being fired
He wasn't bluffing, Eunice was 38 years old but she had the beauty and the body any man would die for
Without thinking, Eunice picked up a decorative vase from her bedside table and hurled the vase at him, the vase missed Nevaeh by inches and shattered into a million pieces on the wall behind him
Nevaeh realized that he had crossed the line and respectfully apologized to Eunice and immediately he turned around to clean up the mess he made by picking up the shattered pieces of the vase behind him
While Nevaeh was cleaning up, Eunice turned to him with a
serious look on her face and asked "How did it go? My auction?
How did it end?"
Nevaeh was momentarily taken aback but quickly composed himself and replied "The auction was a great success!, all 10 assets were sold at a high price," He said and continued his explanation
He gave Eunice a brief overview of the proceeding, highlighting the key points and the outcomes
Eunice listened intently to his explanation, nodding occasionally to indicate her understanding. When Navaeh finished, Eunice thanked him for the update and ordered him to finish up his cleaning and leave immediately because she needed to shower and rest a bit.
"Oh and one more thing ", Navaeh continued
"When I found you unconscious, you were holding a vase"
"A vase?" Eunice asked with a confused look
Nevaeh looked surprised." you don't remember?"
Upon hearing the statement, Eunice felt the intense headache again while attempting to recollect her memory
Nevaeh who noticed her pale look replied "Well, it's got to be a gift y'know"," Maybe a secret admirer from the auction" he added
With a brief sigh, Eunice asked "So? Where is it?"
"It's right over there "Nevaeh replied while gesturing towards one of her shelves that displayed high-end artworks worth a considerable amount of money.
Eunice looked at it "Oh, how beautiful" she said.
The vase was colored cyan and had an Italian drawing on it. It looked like it would cost a fortune
Naveah smiled In agreement as he walked out of the room.

Hours later,
Eunice had just finished taking a shower and wrapped herself in a white robe to dry off. Her wet, beautiful blonde hair was wrapped in a white towel as she made her way to her bedroom. She sat on her bed, still feeling the warmth of the water on her skin, and began to dry her hair.
As she looked around her room, something caught her eye. It was the vase.
Sitting on a table by her bed she looked at it as she felt as though the vase was calling her name
She heard a very familiar voice from the vase "Eunice, it's me! Do you remember me?"
In great shock, she stood up, not because she was scared but because at that moment she remembered everything that happened during the night of the auction
"What are you?" She walked closer to the vase knowing the voice was coming from it, she asked but got no response
She walked over to the shelf, brought out the beautiful vase, and threw it away with rage, "who are you!" she asked as she knelt down around the pieces of the vase to look for a mini microphone and speaker.
"How dare you play such a childish and immature prank on a person like me?" she said in a really angry tone
"Could it be that stupid Nevaeh?, No he wouldn't dare try to prank me" she says "then who?" she added.
"Hello!"
She heard a voice behind her, causing her to spin around in surprise. It was a completely different voice from the young female's.
Her breath caught in her throat as she saw a man standing there, tall and strikingly beautiful with long, dark hair and piercing red eyes. He wore a black suit that hugged his lean frame, and his smile was both disarming and charming.
"Who are you?!" she asked in a nervous and high tone
He looked at her with a smile and responded
"MAKE A WISH!"
