CHAPTER 3

Emily blinked severally to digest the situation at hand, she was confused for a bit that she didn’t know what to say before she suddenly snapped her fingers, “But why is that an issue? It’s not like you are violating any work rules. You don’t need to expect a call or text from him because it is your private issue” she said to her

The moment she said that, Amber also reasoned with her. It was as if her senses were just opened and she whispered, “Wait! That’s true. It’s not like I was there during work hours and it’s my private life so he has no business with it” and decided to brush off the issue.

She finished the movie with Emily and Eddy’s call came as she went to her bed to rest for the rest of the day. She planned to finish her report the next day and prepare for the office as usual, that was her normal weekend routine because Saturday was the only time she could get enough rest.

Eddy told her to get prepared with Emily in the evening because he would be coming over to take them out. She agreed and he ended the call after telling her that he would be there by seven in the evening.

Eddy is her boyfriend she started dating a year ago, she had met him at the college festival she attended with her roommate. He was already a graduate but according to him, he came to have fun because he had missed the school and he was having a free time.

He is working as the manager of a delivery company and earning a cool amount of income, that wasn’t a burden to her although because she was not the type to run after rich men.

She texted her roommate and they got ready in the evening, he came around seven o’ clock and they both entered his car which zoomed off to one of the night parks.

“Where are we going to? Is something happening somewhere?” she asked as soon as he swerved to the right side of the road

“Today is the cultural night at the park, have you forgotten already? You were the one that said you were interested the other day” Emily responded

“Really? It’s really today? Oh my God! I have totally forgotten. I would have sulked over it if not for you both and that’s why I love you” she said with a broad smile

“You should try reducing your workload, you are forgetful these days” Eddy remarked

“Well you are there to remind me so I am rest assured” she pouted and gave him a quick peck

“Before you display any form of affection please remember that I am here so don’t cause any accident, I still have so many things to do that I don’t want to go to heaven right now” Emily said at the back and they all giggled.

They got to the park and everywhere was lit up prettily, everyone were moving around with a light stick as they waited for the event to start. There were different stands displaying many beautiful items and they decided to check them out before the main event starts.

Emily and Amber ended up buying a couple bracelet and also got their names embedded on it to avoid confusions or mixed up while Eddy and Amber got a matching key chain. The event started and they went to their seat, they enjoyed every bit of the event as the performers delivered their performance with quality moves and exciting events.

Eddy dropped them at home around past ten in the night and she pecked him on the lips before rushing in to watch her favorite show, she ended going to bed around midnight without even remembering the encounter with her boss at the club, she had decided to mark it as a past event and she would not have that hinder her daily life but little did she know that it would be a big problem for her.

Tom Holland left the office on Friday evening and was driving home when he got a call from Dave Lin the famous designer who owns the biggest cloth brand in Paris. He had been trying to sign a partnership deal with him for close to two years but it never worked.

The manager of Dave Lin called him and told him that he should come over to the club to sign off the agreement if he still wants it because will be flying out of Chicago very early the next morning. He quickly turned the car around and zoomed off to the place he was called to where he met Dave Lin.

Dave immediately explained, “Oh Mr. Tom! I am sorry that you didn’t get a positive response from me all these while. It is due to my extremely busy schedule and also I wanted to see you in person. The owner of Shellhouse mall in Chicago is extremely popular so I didn’t want to waste the chance” as soon as he saw him and he exchanged handshakes with him

Tom wanted to counter him that he could have just told him so instead of keeping him waiting all these while but he decided to brush it off and just sign the contract which was his own cup of tea. Since he was always prepared to sign with him anytime, the contract was right there with him in his car.

He brought out the envelope containing the contract and was about opening it when Dave held his hand.

“Stop! Just stop!! Do you not understand what fun means? Why are you rushing to sign the contract when we can take our time, talk over drinks and enjoy the view” Dave winked and pointed to the stage where the strippers were getting ready to dance.

Since Dave was not a fan of the club, he wasn’t that pleased with the proposal but he just had to endure since it will birth something positive for his company. He dropped the envelope, folded his hand and was looking at whatever they were about to do on stage when someone familiar mounted the stage in a hot red full body bikini.
