Valentina Delgado, 30 years old, a single mother, a billionaire CEO to country's one of the largest companies. She's been called cold and ruthless by the world but from inside she's a worrisome mother who has to do anything for her 10 year old daugh...
It's Saturday evening. I have already sent a copy of contract through email and hardcopy one i will personally take it to her office.
Sitting in my house's office, suddenly my phone rang. I saw it was Everett. I picked it up. "Hello." "Hey best friend! Any plans for the evening?" "No...just some office work." "You need to let loose. Come on! Let's enjoy this night." "Where are you planning to go?" "LAVO?" "No....i want a peaceful night today. LAVO is a crowded one." "Then.... let's go to The Blond." "Yeah... that's fine." "So...meet me there. At 8?" "Great." I hung up and went to my room to get ready.

I exited my penthouse and saw my driver was already ready with my car. "Good evening sir." I gave him a curt nod. I slid into the back seat of my Rolls Royce. "Take me to The Blond." And he started driving.
In a few minutes, i reached the nightclub. I exited the car. "I'll call if i need you to drive me back, else I'll take a taxi." I told my driver and walk towards the entrance of the club. The bouncer greeted me. "Good evening Mr. Edwards." I gave him a nod and enter the club. I found Everett on one of the bar stools. "Hey bro!" He greeted me as i approached him. "Hey!" I sat on the stool and signal one of the bartender. "One Johnny Walker Black on the rocks." "So... Scotch?" "Yeah....i need it." "Are you again thinking about Florence's wedding?" "No.....not about that. Something else."
These day someone else is on my mind. After meeting her yesterday, she left me intrigued. Valentina Delgado....
"And what is it?" "Valentina." "Who's this Valentina." "One of my clients, CEO of Alba Diamonds and Co." "Are you talking about Valentina Delgado?" "Yeah..." "Have you noticed or not but....she is sitting right there." He pointed towards where lounges are there.
There i saw Valentina Delgado in flesh sitting and drinking and talking with a lady of her age or either a lit bit older. She was wearing a tight black dress. Damn sexy!! Her dark hair and tanned skin.
I heard Everett clearing his throat. "Mister? Are you there or in some La la land." "Yeah yeah.... I'm here." "You like her?" "What! No!" "But the way you were drooling over her says something else." "No.... it's not like that, i was not drooling. I just met her yesterday. She's kinda closed off. I was just intrigued." "Go talk to her." "What? Why?" "Just go!!" He pushed me towards her table where is was sitting with the lady. As i was approaching her. She saw me approaching and raised her eyebrows.
"Mr. Edwards?" "Valentina.....call me Harvey." "Okay.... hello Harvey. What are you doing here?" I saw the lady with her was watching us curiously. I turned towards the lady and introduced myself. "Hello myself Harvey Edwards." After hearing my name she was shocked. "Oh! You are the infamous Mr. Edwards. I'm Alexis or you can call me Lexi, her best friend." "Nice to meet you." "Harvey....." Valentina interrupted. "Yes Valentina?" "You haven't answered me. Why are you here?" "Oh...i am here with my best friend. Just saw you and thought to come and greet you." "Then-" Valentina was interrupted by a ringtone. "Oh It's mine. Javier is calling me. Excuse me." Lexi said and excused herself.
"So....can i sit down?" I asked her. She first hesitated then said, "Sure." "I have already emailed you the contract." "Ok and what about the hardcopy for signing it?" "That I'll personally some on Monday to your office." "Ok sure."
I saw Everett signalling me that he was going. I showed him a thumbs up. "What are you doing?" Valentina asked. "Oh...my friend was telling me that he was going back home." "Ok."
Alexis came back. "I have to go. Gracie has high fever. And don't worry about Elena. I'll drop her in the morning." "Oh.... don't drop her back. I'll send Lisa to pick her up." "Ok ok." "Take care." They hugged each other said goodbye.
With that Me and Valentina were alone. I called the waiter. "I need a Johnny Walker Black. Do need something Valentina?" "Umm...two Tequila shots." She said to waiter. "Are you sure?" "Yeah....i want to let loose." "Ok..."
After drinks were served. We were drinking and started talking. "So....Mr. Edwards tell me about yourself." "But you told me yesterday that you don't mix buisness with personal life." "Yeah.... I don't. But right now I'm drunk and i need someone to talk when I'm drunk." "Ok....so, I'm Harvey Edwards." "Oh wow! I didn't know." She said sarcastically. I chuckled. "Let's play 21 questions." "Ok... that's a good idea. I'll ask." "How old are you?" "32" "Oh....your turn." "Ok....Five words to describe yourself." "Umm... Independent, Hot, bad boss, Mother and...... broken." She became sad. "Why broken?" "It's a long story. You won't be interested." "I do have time." "Sorry...i can't tell." It's her personal matter, so i didn't push her for telling me. "Ok ..no pressure. Your turn to ask." "What are the things you like about your work?" "There are a lot, but only thing that matters is I'm making my parents proud by doing my job." "That's great." "Tell me about your family." "Oh....i have a daughter, that i told you about. That's it." She passed me a sad smile. "Oh...." "My Parents died when i was 19, in college." "I'm sorry to hear." "Yeah...no problem." "So..no men in your life?" "Nope....not at all. I'm a divorcee and in my point of view, men are coward." "Hey! I'm a man. I'm not coward." "Every man says the same thing. They tend to be strong enough but internally they are coward and run from taking risks."
I think she has suffered a lot in her life.
We drank a lot and talked about our childhood memories. After that i didn't remember at all.
