Chapter 4 - Where's Sherry?

~Flashback~ Last night

*Xavier's POV

"Xavier darling, I thought you said you'll be coming with your fiancee?" I heard my mother say and I I felt a frown form on my face as I dialed Sherry's number once again. I was supposed to introduce a lady to my mom this evening cause apparently, news had been going around at the office that I was gay. I hired a lady to act as my fiancee for tonight, just for the tabloids but she isn't picking up. This is bad, really bad, if she doesn't show up tonight, it'll be a problem."Mom, she says she isn't feeling good. I think it might be stress from the office, I told her to stay at my apartment and rest, I'll be leaving early to check up on her" I say standing up, I see her face morph into a frown but I really have to leave, I don't know how to lie to my mom and I'm sure I'll spill if she pries any further. I quickly walk out of my parents mansion and into my car, driving to my penthouse.I dialed Sherry's number again and she picks up this time. "Where are you?" I ask and she replies with a shaky voice."I am sorry Mr Grayson, I couldn't make it, I was heading to the location you sent but then my car broke down in the middle of the road" Her shrill voice says from over the phone, she could've texted or something instead of making both me and my parents wait for hours, ruining everything."I didn't ask for a fucking explanation, Where. Are. You?!" My car pulled up at the entrance of the hotel and u slipped out of my Audi R8."I'm close to your penthouse" she says, her voice quivering."Good, come over and maybe I'll let you go IF you somehow come up with a convincing story on why i should let you live" I cut the call and shoved the phone in my pocket, pressing the button on the elevator. She better makes it on time, I'm definitely not letting some slut disrupt my nap time. Never.
