I cut my steak as I tried not to laugh at the story Sarah was telling,about a woman who tried to rob their store. Like seriously it's the biggest shop in new York who in their right mind will try to rob it. "That's sick" Gera chuckles,"I know but I bought her the dress,she said it was her daughters birthday wish but she couldn't afford it". "Sarah that was such a nice thing to do," "yes Lizzy is right and I'm glad you did that" Gera gives her a full blown grin. "I felt good doing it" Sarah smiles before digging into her salad,"so Lizzy are you going to spill on what is bothering you?". "What?" "We know you girl and you're moody," "well I'm grounded" I chuckled but they give me the' seriously 'look. "Okay fine" I huffed, "I think William's younger brother likes me" I grumbled,"Charles John kwin?" Gera asks. "Yes," "well that's a bummer but that guy is a player and you have a thing for William" Sarah sighs. "I know but how will I tell him off without hurting his feelings?" "Lizzy your peace of mind comes first before anything else" Gera frowns. "I know but...." "really Lizzy there is no room for but in this" Sarah cuts me off with a stern expression. "You have to tell him off before his feelings grow deeper," "can't I just try to see where this goes?" I murmured avoiding their gazes. From the corner of my eyes I see Gera glance at Sarah who in turn stares at me,"Lizzy I know you're in a rough spot with William but dating his brother will ruin any chance you can ever have with him" Sarah states honestly with alittle pity in her voice. "Sarah, Will is over a decade older than me,we can never work," "Charles is also 7years older than you Lizzy that's not an excuse". She had a point but I'm not chasing for a relationship with William,his my boss and that just sounds wrong. "I don't want to continue this conversation please,what do you have for my birthday?" She sighs but agrees with the topic change. "Have you gone around talking to your father?" "His pissed at me Gera I don't think he'll agree" I sighed. "Lizzy your father loves you just pitch the idea to him and see where it goes," "yes and try to remember your manners next time" Gera adds with a glare. "She's right Lizzy,I don't agree with everything my parents do but they're still our elders" Sarah gives me the look. "I know I fucked but I don't know how to fix it," "it will come to you but try to apologize properly". "I will" I take a sip of the wine,"how is the steak?" Gera asks,"here try it" I pushed my plate to the middle and she picks up my knife and cuts a bite,Sarah does also. "Umm I'm definitely getting this next time" Gera moans and I chuckled but I couldn't agree more. "I need to use the restroom" Sarah groans,"okay sure,just ask one of the waitresses for direction" I instructed
,"I'll ask that hot waiter that served us" "waiter! For the female restroom?" Gera raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you ask him for a quickie against the bathroom mirror too" I snort earning a chuckle from her. "That's a good idea,thanks Liz" she smirks, squeezing herself through the small space between me and the table. "That girl is crazy" Gera chuckle taking another bite of my steak,"I think that's enough" I pulled the plate back to myself. "How is work?" "Fine,it's not like I do much" before I could respond,Sarah returns pale as a ghost. I watch her in confusion as she wiggles her way to her seat. She leans in to whisper in my ears"I just saw Matthew walking into the restaurant with a girl?" I tried to keep the shock from my face but it must have shown. "What's wrong?" Gera looks between us,"the waiter Sarah went to flash her boob for,has a girlfriend and she's also a waitress,let's just say,she went raging bitch on her ass" I lied through my teeth. "And she needed to whisper that in your ears?" Gera cocks a brow,"reflex action" Sarah smiles with a shrug. "Can we leave? I'm scared shitless" Sarah follows along the lie. "Let's atleast finish our food Sarah,the girl can't harm you, you're a customer" Gera snorts eating a spoon of rice. Sarah and I shared a worried glance,before I looked forward,"hey Lizzy Morgan!" The girl beside Matthew yells and I cursed. Gera turns behind her and gasped seeing and hearing the situation for the first time,she looks back at us with teary eyes before stomping out of the restaurant. "Gera!" Sarah calls out in pain,"what just happened?" The girl asked,"ask Matthew" I glared at him before following behind Gera. I saw her leaning against my car crying,"babe" I murmur and she turns around hugging me. "Lizzy it hurts" she hiccups,"why I'm I not good enough for him?!" she sobs,breaking my heart. "His a fool Gera," "I know but still his the only one that makes my heart beat" she cries. "That sounds hell of cheesy" I joked and she chuckles still crying. Sarah joins us with our bags,"I paid for the food" she smiles sadly,"thanks Sarah". "There was no angry girlfriend,was there?" "No I made that up" I smirked,"I don't want to go to work yet" Gera sighs pulling away from me and wiping her face. "Umm Sarah do you have a makeup remover in your car?" I asked Sarah,Gera rolls her eyes but smiles slightly. "I look like shit don't I?" "Trust me babe you don't want to know the answer,come on". I let Sarah led us to her car,once Gera had reapplied her makeup we chose to take a stroll leaving our car behind. My hand were wrapped around her shoulders and Sarah held unto her hands as we strolled down the pavement just listening to the lives around us. "Do you know that girl?" Gera asked me after a while,"no that was the first I've ever seen her," "she knew your name?". "Everyone knows my name Gera" I pointed to the group of the girls across the road staring and squeaking let's not forget taking pictures. "Yah I forgot we were rich" she sighs,"well atleast it's not the press" Sarah shrugs. "Don't jinx us Sarah I don't want to appear on the papers tomorrow especially when I'm suppose to be grounded" I groan at the thought. "Fair point and I hate to break off this bond but it's 4:30 my lunch break ended an hour ago". "Mine ended one and half hour ago" I panicked,"calm down Lizzy we'll head back". I nod and we walked back to the restaurant,"bye babes!" I yelled climbing into the car. I don't wait for their reply before driving off,I just hoped I get away with this like yesterday, this was so unprofessional. I parked rather speedily before stumbling into the company,like always no one paid me any mind. I hurried to the elevator and till I reached my floor no one entered,seems the universe was on my side. I walked towards my office pushing the door open,I was met with a very angry William. Well seems I'm done for,I have to thank dad for making sure I can't be fired.
♥️♥️♥️♥️Don don don, Will is furious,can you blame him though? No but we also can't blame Lizzy her friend needed her. Watch out how the chapter plays out.love you guys and please don't be a silent reader.
