Mystery Mansion

Chapter Two- The Parties Truth

Ebony's POV (First person)

Ebony (🤨+😏): So, this billionaire wants me to attend his party tonight?

  After saying that I got up, grabbed my suitcase and began to unpack. When I first got the invitation I thought it was a joke. It still sounds too great to be true. I can't believe someone as rich as him would invite someone like me. I can't believe that I'm even considering doing it since he probably thinks that the money is just what I'm after. Even though I haven't met him yet, he doesn't even seem to care about what I have to say or think. I knew it was stupid of me to even try to agree to this. But, when I received the invitation I couldn't bring myself to say no, especially when it was given to me personally by the CEO of a multinational company that owns the apartment building I'm currently residing in. I mean it's not as though I was going anywhere else. Plus I'm sure that if I brought this up to my friends they would've probably said that I'd be an idiot for not giving it a chance to the point that I would feel so much pressure like I'm suffocating.

(Ebony's stomach growl)
Ebony (😩+😐): Uhh?

Besides I haven't eaten anything since breakfast yet so I might as well stay here and finish unpacking so I can rest and get something to eat before I need to get ready for the party. The last twenty minutes had passed quickly as I unpacked and decided to relax and listen to music for a bit. About one hour had passed when I heard a knock at the door. I got up from my bed and after I opened it I was surprised to see someone I wasn't expecting to be on the other side.

Ebony (😐+😧+😕): Sasha!?

Sasha (😊): Surprise!

Ebony (😐+😧+😕): What are you doing here? How did you even know what room I was staying in?

Sasha (🙄+😊): *Rolls eyes* I spotted something in your mail *Referring to the envelope the invitation came in* the last time I was at your place and when I saw the address I figured you'd be here! Since I got the same thing. *Holding up the exact same invitation* What are you wearing? You're coming to party tonight right?

Sasha Connery. She was an old friend of mine from college and unlike me she has a wealthy background. She's the daughter of one of the richest men in Japan which is quite impressive actually seeing as she is quite talented. She has been working as a manager at one of her father's new business firms. It's for now a small but popular company called Logic, so it takes a lot of effort to get hired, especially during employment season. So I guess this means that my maybe future husband is also a successful businessman since he has just signed a contract with Logic for one of his own new branches. And if that's the case then I would see why Sasha would have also gotten an invitation. So when she told me that she was also invited it made sense for her to accept, especially since she loves parties. It was clear that she wanted to surprise me since she knew I would sooner or later be a nervous wreck. And since Sasha is one of the most laid back people I know it only made sense for her to have an open mind if she had accepted the invitation.

Ebony (🙂): Of course I'm coming. But it's only 5 pm and the party isn't until ten.

Sasha: It doesn't hurt to be ready beforehand! Also *reaches behind* I thought you might be hungry so… *holds out a plastic wrapped sandwich*

Ebony (😊+🙏+😌): *Immediately takes it from her* Oh thank God! You're a lifesaver, I'm starving!

Sasha (😏): *Walks into Ebony's room* Pumpernickel, baloney and cheddar heavy on the mayo.

I only heard half of what she said because I was too focused on devouring the sandwich in my hands. While I ate Sasha explained the main reason as to why she was here.
