A Touch Of Love and Diamonds

Chapter 4

Leaning against the wall, she thought about her actions back at the restaurant, feeling a mixture of guilt and anger mixing in her system

Vera: maybe I went overboard with the slap.
Bella: what slap?
Vera: nothing, I just think what am I gonna do with so much free time now
Bella: huh?
Vera: nothing haha

Waking up early, she gathered her strength to show up to take her stuff out of her office. With everyone staring at her while she walk along the hallway, feeling a hand grab her. She looked and saw Bex pulling her to the bathroom

Bex: my hero
Vera: what?
Bex: everyone knows you slap the holy hell off his face last night
Vera: how?
Bex: some dude was having dinner there too and had a video.
Vera: oh shit..
Bex: oh shit indeed. Gurl above all people here you were the only one who had the guts to touch him. Even his own Grandpa was afraid of him. But you gurl damnnn!
Vera: now that you mentioned it, I feel bad
Bex: what for?
Vera: I don't know. I feel like I went cuckoo last night. He did somewhat verbally assaulted me, but I feel sorry now. Not only did I reflect but I'm fired too. I'm here to get my stuffs
Bex: hey girls night out is on me
Vera: thanks. I owe you

Exiting the bathroom she proceed to his office, seeing a box already laid out on her table she quickly gathered her things before he arrives. Seeing his closet door opening she gulped a huge breath as she heard his footsteps echoed on the marble floor

Vera: I'm almost done. Don't worry
Patrick: why would I?
Vera: right

Carrying the box, she heads out the door. Seeing a delivery man waiting by the door with a box and flowers in hand

Vera: Are these for Mr. Wilson? you can just put it by his table
Man: I was instructed to give this to a Ms. Vera Farmiga?
Vera: that's me. Who's this from?
Patrick: I'll take it from here.

Taking the package off the man, he signed some papers before closing the door.

Patrick: this is for you
Vera: me? From who?
Patrick: Your's truly
Vera: excuse me?
Patrick: it's more of a forgive me gift
Vera: do you mean going away gift?
Patrick: no. Look I may have said some harsh words last night. Which is wrong, I shouldn't be judging the book by it's cover. So I'm sorry

Taking the box off her hands, he put it by the table, replacing it with his gifts. Still in a processing phase she hasn't said one word.

Patrick: I'm having a business discussion later, I already texted you the address. I'd appreciate it if you wear what I bought. Don't be late

Leaving her in a daze, she look over the flowers in hand

Vera: what just happened? Did he just---

Carrying the box flowers to her quarter she sat down still on the process on understanding. With curiosity invading her conscious she opened the box to a beautiful black dress, a little different from her closet looks but she must admit it was  gorgeous

Vera: surprise he got taste.

Time checked: 7:40pm
Sitting by the table, she looks over her watch.

Vera: where the heck is he?

Breathing slowly, she looks over the papers that we're handed by him earlier.

Vera: the investor is gonna be here anytime now. Is he setting me up to fail?

With a figure appeared on the stairs, she stood up preparing to greet the target of her mission.

Vera: good evening Mr. Beaux. My name is Vera Farmiga. I'm Mr. Wilson's representative. Please take a seat, he'll be here any minute now

A quiet 10 mins passed, and it was now or never, if she didn't make a move. She'll lose her job.
