Lilliane held on to her phone, looking at the screen, thinking on what to do
'Maybe I'll just message them, I'm more confident in texting than phone calls' Lilliane said to herself
Minutes has passed, she finally hit send and placed down her phone, she felt really nervous on what the respond may be. She jumped around, flapping her arms and hands. Her father saw what she was doing, he wasn't judging her rather he was concerned about her daughter
'Well, I'm going to work Lilliane message or call me when something happens or you're going out' her father said
'okay, take care love you dad!' Lilliane responded and smiled
Her father smiled back and nodded his head and soon afterwards he left the house
A moment of silent when Lilliane's phone lit up, it was a reply from the company
'Good day Miss Lilliane De Las Wistaria, we have read your Message and we would like to have an interview via phone call' Lilliane stopped reading the text message as soon as she read the phone call
She freezes up and couldn't comprehend anything, suddenly her phone begun to rang, she wasn't prepared for the interview but she answered it anyways
Moments later the interview finally finished, Lilliane surprisingly did well during the interview, there may be mistakes here and there but she got the job
'even if I'm just working for free, this is a good opportunity to write it in my resume' Lilliane said to herself, she messaged her father about the good news that she will start by next week from now on.
She also decided to video call her closest friend
*Ring ring* Her friend answered
'Lilly! It's been a while OMG how you been!?' Her friend said excited to finally talk to her again after 2 days
'Girl, This is bad! And you won't believe what just like happened yesterday!' Lilliane said with a nervous tone
'Lilly, calm down and tell!' her friend said with a curious yet smug look
Naya, Lilliane's friend basically her bestie was always there for her even back when they were highschool, she was the first person to approach Lilliane when they were students, She is called the social butterfly, she has a beautiful flawless dark skin, and a stunning cornrows hair that compliments her structure.
After a while they have talked a lot, Naya comforted Lilliane that she can do this, if she feels sad or agitated she can always call her Lilliane said the same thing to her, they got each other's back even if they live far to each other when all of a sudden
'Lilly, in 3 days wanna hang out?' Naya said
lilliane being confused 'what do you me- wait are you saying that you're going to come over here!?' realizes that Her friend Naya will visit her hometown
Naya nodded in excitement 'Mhm!'
The two ladies were finally excited to meet once again after a year of not seeing each other in person
'oh I'll tell you Lilly, when we meet there's still a lot of things we can talk!' Naya said with a smirk
Lilliane rolls her eyes playfully and smiled 'well I'm excited for that, it's actually better to talk in person anyways than calls or messages' as she laughs
Lilliane seems to be at ease when she talked to her friend, As if all of her worries vanished from thin air, all she can think now is what they will do once they meet
They've talked to each other for 2 hours, they mostly talk about how life were, how Lilliane's business been up to, they had fun talking to each other
'Alright Lilly I should probably go now, I should get ready for class' Naya said
'well alright, then I'll see you in 3 days Lilliane responded with a smile
Naya playfully clicks her tongue and winks 'Yes, see you in 3 days Lilly, who knows maybe I'll find you a boyfriend' Naya said with a laugh
Lilliane was dumbfounded of what Naya has said and felt shy 'Naya you Bi- screw you naya' she said with a pout
They joke around for Abit and finally the video call ended
Lilliane stood up and stretched her body 'well then that's over, better to pack some orders' Lilliane said to herself
Few moments later Lilliane realizes that she forgot to grab some tape and some boxes for her business 'damn it because of those thugs, I couldn't even buy the things I was supposed to buy' She sign and got herself ready to go out
When she arrived the city some people were looking at her, Lilliane didn't realize that the video that the people took yesterday has gone viral especially the city, Lilliane ignored them but she's still anxious because eyes are looking at her
She decided to sit down and browse through her phone and saw the viral video 'what is this, why would people do something like this' she thought feeling sad yet she's very mad that people do this for views. She sigh and just ignored it she knew that it will die down eventually and continued at what she is supposed to do.
When Lilliane started to mind her business she bumped into someone
The person stopped saying 'watch where you're going ' and continued to walk. Lilliane felt Abit of a pain on her shoulder, it was a hard bump 'people really just doesn't apologize when they bump into someone's Lilliane thought and realizes she looked at the person she bumped into because his voice was familiar but he already left.
Fast forward of the day, It's already been 3 days, finally Lilliane is able to meet her best friend!
Lilliane tried to doll herself up 'hmm..I feel like this is to much' she said to herself while looking in a mirror, it feels like she's there to have some fun 'i mean knowing Naya, I'm sure that we're going to a pub or a nightclub' She said as she sigh
'Dad! I'm off, I probably won't be able to have dinner, I'm sorry' Lilliane said being guilty of not being there for him
Her dad chuckled and pats her head reassuring her that he will be fine, and she should go and have fun with Naya 'Just be safe okay?, tell Naya I said hi' Her father said smiling
Lilliane hugged him 'thanks dad, you are the best! Love you!' she said with a smile
Her dad hugged her back and let's go 'just be careful alright?'
Lilliane nodded and walked away closing the door and left the house
A few minutes later, Lilliane finally arrived her destination, there Naya was waiting for her
'Naya!' Lilliane yelled grabbing Naya and some other bystanders attention as they look at Lilliane's way
Naya waves happily as Lilliane walked fast towards Naya
They finally hugged each other , squeezing in each other's arms 'Seriously Lilly how are you? God I miss you so much!' Naya said
Lilliane chuckled 'What? Didn't we just talked yesterday' Lilliane responded as she try to tease Naya
Naya flicked Lilliane's forehead softly 'u lil bitch, not that! I meant seeing you in person!' Naya said as she frowned
Lilliane gasp because Naya called her a bitch 'oh gosh, I can't believe you called me a bitch!'
Moment of silent and suddenly they burst into laughter
The two ladies keeps on mocking around, teasing each other but of course they knew that everything they said the 'insult' isn't even an insult rather they were just playful
As they walk Naya suddenly said 'By the way I saw this club around this corner wanna go there?'
Naya showed the image of the club making Lilliane feel interested 'that seems lovely!, I've never been into any clubs before' Lilliane confesses
Naya was surprised about the sudden confession 'are you for real?, even when you became an adult??' Naya asked
lilliane looked at Naya, as she is very dead serious for not going into one, she wasn't really interested, even in having a lover, she wasn't interested at all
Naya was taken a back and she held Lilliane's hand 'tonight, I'm so going to find you a man and let you go have fun'
Lilliane just keep blinking not knowing what she meant by that 'Okay' As she just agreed to what she said
The two ladies went in the club, the club seems to be crowded there are people who looked really pretty and it seems people are really having fun
Lilliane looks around anxious but thanks to Naya being there, she feels at safe
'do you wanna grab a drink? A shot? Tequila? gin? Vodka?' Nala keep asking alcohol
'uhh, I don't know?.I've never drink any alcohol before, I might not like it' Lilliane said with a frown
Nala sigh 'seriously Lilliane you're to pure for this world, I guess I'll just grab you a mocktail for now just sit wherever you want! Wait over there!' Nala pointed at one of the vacant seat near the toilet area
Lilliane nodded and walked towards it, she just sat down looking down playing with her fingers, she waited for Nala
Lilliane finally looked around checking at the other people on what they are doing until she saw a bunch of people circling around at one particular person , she squinted her eyes to see who is the person that's quite popular among the people here
She wanted to get closer because she's nervous but at the same time she's very curious, Lilliane stood up and walked closer trying to avoid the people that was dancing and talking, when she was closer she finally saw who the person that's attracting the attention, she was surprised.
The moment she saw the person, her eye widened 'it can't be...he looks like'
He was handsome, almost like a prince, his eyes looks like a ruby, and his skin is pale as snow white but 'his hair color...if his hair color is like a beautiful silver, he would've looked just like the prince from the book Dad was reading to me'....
The moment the music stopped playing the man suddenly burst out laughing, everyone near the man stopped talking and looked at him 'are you serious?' He said to a girl next to him, his nice gentle deep voice sounded familiar, it was the man who bumped to her 3 days ago, and not only that he sounded like.
Lilliane flinches 'he somewhat sounded like Sir Rainarius' she thought as she went to the man without thinking, trying to go near the man, she wanted to speak with him the other people seems to be annoyed on what she's doing.
Suddenly when Lilliane got really close to the man, their eyes met, the man smiled at her?, unsure
'Sir Rainerius?' she didn't even realized that she called out the name, the man was confused why she called him that 'Sorry?' he said as the other people laughed at Lilliane for calling him the name of the CEO , since the CEO is bald, and ugly
Lilliane covers her mouth feeling embarrassment she steps back 'i-im sorry I' She breath's heavily because of how people keep staring, laughing at her, the man noticed it and gets up from his seat 'Hey guys, give her some space will ya?' he said feeling annoyed he clicks his tongue, he carefully try to reach out to Lilliane and places his hand to her shoulder, making her flinch, Lilliane ran away making her drop her wallet, she ran back to her seat where she was supposed to be.
People around her just started to have fun again music blasts music partying as if there's no tomorrow
Some people tried to approach Lilliane asking if she's alright, if she's alone 'im okay, just waiting' that's what she always respond to them
Naya finally went to Lilliane 'Jeez there's to many people It went way to long to finally get our-' Naya stopped as she saw Lilliane looking down feeling agitated, being confused Naya places the drink on the table and sat besides her
'whats wrong?' Naya asked, concerned to her friend she wrapped her with her arms as she pat her shoulder
Lilliane just shook her head 'oh I'm fine, don't worry about it' she said as she looks at Naya and smiled
Naya didn't ask any more knowing that Lilliane won't tell her about it, she's been like that ever since they were in highschool, Lilliane doesn't really open up what she's thinking
'well here, drink up! We're here to have fun remember? Come on!' Naya grabbed the mocktail and gave it to Lilliane
she looked at the Mocktail and grabbed it 'this looks interesting,what is it?' Lilliane asked smelling the mocktail
'oh well that's Piña colada, try it you like sweet drinks anyways!' Naya said excited to see how she will react
Lilliane tries the drink, surprisingly she actually liked it alot! 'this is actually good!' she said as she keeps drinking it
'hah! Now we're talking! Come on!' Naya said as she held Lilliane's hand and stood up
The two ladies went to the dancefloor while holding their drinks, Lilliane still seems to be awkward but she just sway her body
After a while Lilliane finally lets go of the tension and tried drinking alcohol, she really liked it and drank some more making her tipsy
30 minutes has passed Naya looked at Lilliane
'so anyone you interested in?, I'm so going to let you guys talk to each other' Naya said
Lilliane rolls her eyes 'come on, stop teasing me, I don't have anyone that's interesting, or interested' she said as she drink her cocktail
Naya chuckled 'so do you have a type? Or you have someone you like?' Naya said with a curious look
Lilliane thought for a moment but it seems she wasn't really interested at all, Naya facepalmed 'are you serious Lilliane? No one at all?? Even idols or actors????'
Lilliane shrugged and stood up, now that she's Abit drunk it seems that she doesn't care about the world anymore, she doesn't feel shy at all 'dont worry about that Naya and let's just dance!'
Naya widened her eyes seeing her best of friend acting this way, she laughed and messaged Lilliane's father about this 'Uncle Jun your daughter is acting a little bit weird, don't worry I'll take care of her'
At Wistaria's home
Lilliane's father saw the message he was a little worried but seeing her daughter having fun is what matters to him the most 'im not worried Naya, as long as you're there for her I won't worry' He replied as he continued in working
Back to the club
Lilliane heard one of the song called 'piece of me by Britney spears'
Lilliane started to dances even more and a little bit provocative, the people around them watches Lilliane because of it, cheering on her taking videos of her, Naya was also cheering for her, clapping her hands
However the man from earlier the person whom Lilliane thought it was the CEO checked on her as he watches her not realizing Lilliane saw him
Lilliane smirked as she walks slowly towards him grabbing his hand as she continues to dance he was taken a back from it, thankfully he didn't mind it at all, and danced with Lilliane
Naya looked at the man and smirked 'oh, I think I found a man for Lilliane, he's quite handsome actually he seems to be the most handsome here' she said to herself
Moments later the song ended but the guy didn't let Lilliane go
Lilliane seems to be out of it as she place her hand to the man's cheek 'you bumped to me and never even apologized, you bad handsome man.....what is your name?'
The man smirked as he got close to Lilliane 'Cedric, remember that and..im so sorry for bumping into you' Lilliane seems to be lost in thoughts
'your voice...seriously sound like sir Raineri..us' she squinted her eyes and she seems to be falling asleep because of how drunk she is
Naya noticed and went to where Cedric is 'oh so sorry about my friend I hope she didn't cause any discomfort' Naya keeps staring at Him
Cedric releases Lilliane from his arms and stepped back 'oh no it's alright to be honest, your friend was the star of this club if I would say so myself' Cedric said with a chuckle but he looked smug
'oh yeah haha, it actually surprised me too, well I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening err' Naya seemed stumped since she doesn't know his name
'Cedric' He said as grab a pack of smokes
'ah right, well enjoy the rest of your evening Cedric' Naya smiled as she try to carry Lilliane
Cedric smiled as she keeps looking at Lilliane 'alright take care of yourself and Lilliane' He went back to his table and seems to be he was having 'fun' with the people around him
After that, Naya let Lilliane go home and left her place afterwards
When Lilliane's father placed her to her bed, Lilliane seems to be dreaming about the story of what her father read. The boy who ran away from home and disappeared.
Meanwhile at a hotel
Cedric was sitting down on the edge of the bed while a woman was sleeping behind him
'Lilliane....' Cedric kept looking at Her Wallet, his heartbeat was beating fast, as the image of Lilliane inside his head keeps popping out, especially when Lilliane was dancing to him
Cedric puts on clothes as he left the hotel room
On the next day, what will happen nexg
