I opened my eyes to the sound of rain crashing against the solid path, it startled me.
I always wonder about the rain. It's almost like someone is emptying their pockets across the world, letting every single thing drop away.
Letting things drop away...
I quickly got up, got dressed, and did my daily routine of hygiene shit. Then I had to leave, I needed to get today over with.
Once I arrived, I quickly walked into my office whilst trying to ignore everyone inside the building.
Just as I say down, the door knocked.
"Come in."
"Good morning, I just wanted to tell you Mr. Santo is hosting a business party tonight at 9 pm and he'd like you to attend." The man said, I did a large sigh but nodded in response.
"Always fucking business parties. " I mumbled to myself, they were so boring.
I had no idea what Mr. Santo did for a job, I wasn't interested, to be honest.
The day flying by fast, it was time to leave. I had three hours to get ready, which should be enough.

(The outfit she chose.)
I chose a simple outfit, but nice enough for a business party. I hope things wouldn't be too awkward after the last party, but Mr. Santo adores me.
Once I arrived back at work, Mr. Santo was waiting for me along with a black SUV.
"Please come." He said, gesturing me into the car politely.
I stepped in and took a seat on the leather chair, he sat next to me as he had someone driving the car.
I felt more nervous than usual, it was odd. My heart was thumping and my hands became sweaty.
"so I know I haven't really informed you about this party as much but I'm going to offer you something," he announced, sitting up straight.
I just waited for him to carry on, and sat there until he spoke.
"I need you to marry me, or at least pretend to marry me, I need to prove to my father that I'm willing to have someone by my side. If you agree I will offer 500,000 dollars, possibly more in the future."
