Chapter 1
Vivian pov
I've been on my computer all day researching a business deal I got. As a business consultant, I need to have a good review of the project of the company.
As I work I take a sip from my coffee. I was typing my review when I received a call with the caller ID showing Jane. Relaxing on the chair, I answered "Hey babe xup."
" All good. I know you must be bored sick in that lonely house of yours so I'm coming to take you out..bye! " She hung up before I could retaliate...what a friend.
I went back to what I was doing only standing up to stretch my tired body. I yawned, as I walked to the kitchen pouring myself some cereal then I heard the doorbell ring. I went to open the door and saw Jane's smiling face "Yee! My friend is here " I fake yelled
She laughed brushing past me into my home. She stares at my computer and laughs turning it off " Why did you do that? I'm working on something!" I frown
" Well, like I said on the phone we're going out So go get dressed and by the way is a party so no cooperation wears. " She sat down she put on the TV flipping through channels. Such audacity!
" And what makes you think I'll do that " I stand in front of her folding my hands with a daring eyebrow raised.
She simply smiled. " You know you'll lose this battle so why try "...
And that's how I ended up in this stupid party. I took a glass of wine as I watched people dance. Is a fancy party I must say. Jane made me wear a dress. A fancy one with heels let's not forget the makeup part. She's a demanding friend when she wants you to do something you better do or you won't rest. Speaking of Jane I have no idea where she's at, I'm just standing here all alone watching funny dance moves.
The party is getting more packed up, I have no idea who's party is this all I know is I need to go home. After calling Jane with no response I sent her a text that I was heading home. Gathering my things I pushed past the crowd of people to go out I still held my wine in one hand I was about to turn when I spilled wine on a man's shirt.
I felt embarrassed I could have dropped the wine while leaving what was wrong with me?
" I'm sorry sir, let me clean that I took my handkerchief to clean his shirt" all this while the man didn't say a word.
" There, I'm sorry " I looked at him with pleading eyes but he just smiled confusing me for a second feeling weird I decided to just leave.
Immediately I got home I took off my painful heels as I fell on the sofa. I don't even have the strength to climb the stairs to my bedroom as I close my eyes to sleep I ask myself "Why was he smiling ?"
