THE NEXT MORNING I WOKE UP EARLY AND TOOK A SHOWER. 

WE HAD TO LEAVE FOR NEW YORK THAT DAY. 

I QUICKLY CHANGED INTO A SHIRT DRESS AND WENT DOWN FOR BREAKFAST. 

NICHOLAS WAS ALREADY SITTING THERE. 

HE DIDN' T EVEN LOOK AT ME.

DEVIL. 

HE CAN' T STAY SWEET WITH ME FOREVER.


"GOOD MORNING." I SAID TO HIM SWEETLY.

"MORNING." HE SAID WITHOUT LOOKING AT ME.

"WHY ARE YOU SO MOODY, TODAY?"

"HOW DOES IT MATTER TO YOU?"

"WELL IT MATTERS. IF YOU DON' T WANNA TELL ME THEN DON' T. I' M NOT IN FOR LISTENING TO YOUR NONSENSE STUFF." I REPLIED BACK.

HE FROWNED.

I ATE MY BREAKFAST AND SAT IN THE CAR WITH NICHOLAS. 

AFTER SOME TIME WE BOARDED HIS PRIVATE PLANE AND REACHED NEW YORK. 

THE PEOPLE WELCOMED BOTH OF US WITH BOUQUETS. 

NICHOLAS HELD MY HAND AND WE SAT IN THE CAR THAT DROVE US TO THE HOTEL IN WHICH WE WERE GOING TO LIVE. 

OF COURSE, IT WAS HIS HOTEL. 

WE WENT TO OUR ROOM TO FRESHEN UP. 

I DECIDED TO ASK HIM THE REASON OF THIS TRIP.

"WHAT ARE WE DOING IN NEW YORK?" I ASKED.

"DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW?" HE ASKED.

"YES, OF COURSE. TELL ME."

"WELL .......... WE HAVE TO ATTEND A PARTY."

"IN NEW YORK?"

"YES."

"WHY IS THIS PARTY TAKING PLACE?"

"FOR THEIR COMPANY' S SUCCESS."

"WHO IS THE HOST?"

"UMM............"

"WHO TOLD YOU TO THINK SO MUCH? TELL FAST."

"KATE."

I ROLLED MY EYES. "SO WE CAME HERE FOR A SILLY PARTY."

"LINDA." HE SAID IN A STERN VOICE.

"WHAT?"

"YOU CAN' T SAY SO. WE RECEIVED AN INVITATION WHICH CAN' T BE DENIED."

"OH REALLY? WE MUST' VE RECEIVED SO MANY INVITATIONS WHICH WERE DENIED. WHY, SUDDENLY THIS INVITATION BECAME SO IMPORTANT?"

"PLEASE, LISTEN TO ME. THERE IS NOTHING BETWEEN US. OUR RELATIONSHIP ENDED YEARS AGO. WE' RE JUST FRIENDS."

"EVERYTHING STARTS WITH FRIENDSHIP."

"DAMMIT." HE BANGED HIS FIST ON THE TABLE AND WENT OUT OF THE ROOM, LEAVING ME ALONE IN THAT ROOM. 

I COULDN' T HELP FEELING HURT. 

I WENT TO THE WASHROOM FOR A SHOWER. 

AFTER THAT I CHANGED INTO A PARTY DRESS. 

THE PARTY WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN IN ANOTHER TWO HOURS. 

NICHOLAS CAME BACK FOR A SHOWER AND CHANGED INTO A WHITE SHIRT, YELLOW SUIT AND JEANS. 

WHILE CHANGING HIS UPPER BODY WAS EXPOSED. 

I TRIED MY BEST NOT TO NOTICE BUT THAT WAS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE.

OH MIND. WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO TEMPT ME? DEVIL.

HE QUICKLY CHANGED AND WE DROVE TO HER HOUSE.

IT WAS REALLY BEAUTIFUL. 

NICHOLAS ADMIRED IT. 

WE WERE WELCOMED BY HER. 

SHE WAS MY RIVAL BUT STILL SHE HAD MANNERS OF RECEIVING HER GUESTS.

"HI, LINDA. SO GOOD TO SEE YOU. YOU MUST BE ENJOYING WITH YOUR BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND." SHE SAID.

"NICE TO MEET YOU, KATE." I SAID AND FORCED A SMILE."

"NICHOLAS, MY LOVE. IT' S SO SWEET OF YOU TO COME HERE FOR THIS PARTY."

"IT' S A PLEASURE, KATE." HE SAID WITH A SMILE. 

TO MY DISMAY, SHE HUGGED HIM AND PUT HER HANDS ON HIS SHOULDERS.

NICHOLAS DIDN' T EVEN RESIST. 

HE SEEMED TO BE HAPPY. 

I QUICKLY WENT INSIDE TO AVOID LOOKING AT THEM.
