"Hey Amber, are you home?" Bianca, Amber's long time friend asked.
"Yea? You wanna come over?" Asked Amber.
"Yes. We need to talk, don't you think so?" Bianca said.
Amber didn't need to think before she reply. Yes! She wanted to make up with Bianca.
"Okay then. I'll be waiting." Amber said.
"I'm actually outside of your house now. Can I come in?" Bianca asked and Amber flinched.
"What? Damn gurl!" She hurried to the door and there she was. Slender with pretty eyes, standing outside with flowers in her hand.
"These are for you." Bianca handed over the flowers which Amber gladly took.
They went up to Amber's room. "Honestly, I'm only here to apologize, Amber. You deserve to do what you want, okay? And I'll always support you." She said and hugged her friend.
"That's all I wanted to hear, Bianca." Amber said.
When they pulled apart, Bianca began to ask. "Okay so spill the tea. What about that sexy boss of yours? Does he still bothers you?"
Amber felt the colors of her cheeks fluster red. "He's okay. I mean, does he bothers me? Maybe a little. But we're good now, I think." She said.
"Okay, well I'm just glad you and Hudson have settle your differences. He was so worried about you, hun." Bianca said.
For a split second, Amber thought she felt jealous. Bianca and Hudson were never close to this extent, and seeing her talk about her husband so easily made her surprised.
"You and Hudson really became close, didn't you?" Amber raised a brow.
Bianca froze. Slowly, she forced a smile to rest on her face. "What? No, it's just that, um, he was worried. That's all. That's all."
Amber nodded slowly. "Thanks. Well enough about that, tell me about your workplace. I mean, what about Mark?"
"Oh please, Mark and I broke up last week. I'm just not interested in him again. I like someone else now." Bianca said, blushing.
"Oh my goodness, tell me all about it!" Amber said excitedly.
"He doesn't really look at me in that manner. I think he's already spoken for." Bianca said.
Amber frowned. "What's that? He has a girlfriend?"
"Well, he likes someone else. I mean, he's married–"
"--then you should stop. If he's married, then he's not for you. Okay?" Amber said immediately. "I'm your friend, and I don't want you to get hurt."
Bianca sighed. "If I can take my eyes off him…I mean, what if he doesn't love his wife that much? Huh?"
"Then let him come to you. He and his wife have to sort out their differences, then he'll come to you." Amber said. She frowned again.
Why am I talking about this with her? No, Amber. You're not talking about your husband and Bianca!
"Are you there?" Bianca called.
"Oh, yea yea. What's up?" Amber came back to reality.
"Are you going for our school reunion? It's set in two week's time." Bianca said.
"You know I was only a student for what, eleven months? I dunno if I–"
"--no, don't say that. You were a part of Greenhill students. You should come. Okay?" Bianca said.
Bianca and Amber had been friends since high school.
"Till two weeks. I can't say now." Amber said.
"Well, I have a gift for you. Here," she rummaged through her purse and brought out a silver necklace. It was so beautiful with a butterfly pendant.
"Wow, this looks expensive." Amber noticed.
"Not really. But see, it's from the Butterfly hills store. And I got one for myself too! You should really come, Amber." Bianca persuaded.
"Wow. Thanks so much." Amber said. "I won't take this off again."
"Oh uh, you can. Actually, don't wear it until the reunion day. Promise me, huh?" Bianca said.
Amber rolled her eyes. (No way, this is too pretty not to wear around!) But she smiled and said, "of course yes. Thank you, Bianca."
"Now what's left is to shop from butterfly hills store for the lady Rowana's purse. That's what everyone will be rocking." Bianca said.
"What, why?" Amber asked.
"You know Lolita Rynes? Yes, her mother in law owns Butterfly hills, and she's doing this promotion stuff where we'll all shop from the store to get free gifts like butterfly hills designer lip gloss and diamond ring."
Amber was not following. "Wait, so Lolita is using this reunion as a means of promotion for butterfly hills store?"
Bianca nodded. "Yes! And we'll know who actually got her purse from butterfly hills when they flaunt these free gifts. This purse cost over a million bucks, but there'll be a promo and it should reduce to about eight hundred dollars. I've been saving up to get two for us."
"But I should be able to get mine with my salary. It's crazy but if I'm actually going, I can just use my salary to get it." Amber could not believe she was saying this.
Bianca snorted. "Yea right. Are you telling me you get paid almost a million for your salary?! Isn't it one part time job where you sweep and mop or something?"
Amber frowned. "No, Bianca. It's a decent job where my salary is pretty okay. And I can get this purse, so no need for you to get mine. Just focus on yourself."
Bianca couldn't believe what she was hearing. What? How was that possible! A million dollars!?
"Bianca, are you there?" Amber called out.
"What…oh yea. Sure thing, Amber." Bianca managed to say.
It was almost as if Bianca gave the fake smiles…Amber noticed. But why?
Bianca was supposed to be her friend! Her best friend…
