I pull the gloves up on my hands before I go to the mirror and fix my curl. Sophia stands behind me while she puts on some pink lip gloss.

"Pass me that eyeliner." Sophia tells me, I pass it to her "You still have to teach me how to do that smoky eye thing." She reminds me as she holds her eye open.

"How soon do you want me to teach you?" I ask in a mumble as I put on my red lipstick.

"Chris is taking me on a special date next weekend so anytime before that." She tells me as she carefully draws eyeliner on.

I blotch my lipstick "Alright let's go." I zip my make up bag.

You would think that we were going out, but no, we are working like always. There is some type of beginning of the summer event. It is a formal event which means Dunst chooses random workers to help out. He makes sure that all of his employees are trained to do so. That is why Daniel has the night off while Sophia and I are greeters. We must be in greeters attire which means an all black blazer, blouse, pencil skirt along with a white tie and gloves. He makes us wear white stilettos which I am sure was Amy's idea. Amy loves to see me in any kind of pain so standing here for six hours in these shoes is satisfying for her. Sophia and I are standing in front of double doors taking one side each. We have smiles on our face with every person that comes into this hall.

"Hello, enjoy your night." I greet then look over at Sophia "Does your face hurt yet, or is it just me?" I ask, seriously, from smiling so much.

Sophia nods "I wish flicking them off was apart of this because I would never get tired of flipping people off.  Sophia says, seriously then smiles at members going in "Hello, enjoy your night." She greets.

"I hear you on that." I agree with her.

A couple more people walk  in within the hour; most the members are already here talking among themselves. Sophia and I bring our attention back to the door when people come to the door. Sophia greets Mr. Wilson while my mouth nearly drops the floor when I see Samuel. He has on an all white high collar shirt with a slight dark blue blazer with all black jeans and black dress shoes.

"Hello, Mr. Wilson, enjoy your night." Sophia greets with a smile.

Mr. Wilson nods then looks over at Samuel "Socialize, enjoy yourself, and I'll call if I need you." Mr. Wilson explains, he then looks at me before he turns to walk away.

"Hello, Sophia, Harlin." Samuel greets.

I smile "Hello, Mr. Edwards, enjoy your night." I tease.

He smirks at me "It's Samuel, we've been through this. Samuel and Samuel only." Samuel steps in front me with his hands in his pocket "Hopefully, you understand this time." He bites his lips, gently.

My heart begins to beat rapidly at his gesture. I smirk at him knowing how much it bothers him. I do it because he looks so good when he is annoyed. Just to see that face gives me life. Everything that he could ever possibly does gives me life.

"The only way you are allowed to call me Mr. Edwards is when Mr. Dunst or Mr. Wilson is around...There is another way, but you'll learn that one later." Samuel gives me a half smile which makes me roll my eyes playfully.

Sophia laughs shortly "I think I know what you mean, Samuel." She nudges his arm then winks at me "Harlin, you better strengthen your vocal cords."

Sophia winks at me and Samuel laughs quietly.

I roll my eyes at her "Shut up both of you because we know that Samuel would not be able to handle me." I run my hands over my body. Samuel licks his lips slowly "He could try, but he'll be walking funny for days." My eyes stare at him seductively.
