Enjoy......♡"Hey there partner....." It was Dalton who was still holding on to his briefcase,I decided to call him the briefcaser..... Nice ring to it innit?
"Sup" I said mid sip,he took the seat in front off me and gave me a small smile.
"How's work going?" He asked while sipping on his coffee.
"Awful" I replied with a groan "Just how much work do I have to do.... I'm stressed" I complained.
He chuckled "No offense.... you don't even do anything"
"What!"
I took offense....
We had grown close over the few weeks I've been here probably because I helped him fix the photocopying machine.
"You do realize that you're supposed to be Mr Lawsen's PA" he made air quotes.
"Yeah...so?"
"Meaning you're basically supposed to follow him around and yet here you are"
"Hmm fair point" I nodded "where is he by the way?"
"Are you sure you work here?" I noticed a colored drawing on his briefcase.
"What's that about?" I asked with a Snicker
He looked at it then back at me with a smile plastered on his face,"my little girl drew it for me"
"Awwn that is so...cute" I gave a small smile although I felt awkward because I wanted to make fun of it.
He scrolled through his phone and showed me a picture of her.... the little creature was really cute.
"She's really cute....I bet her mum is gorgeous" his smile turned into a frown immediately I said that.
I was confused,"sorry...did I say something wro–" I was interrupted by his phone ringing and he excused himself.
Awkward.....
"We need to go...now" he grabbed his things in a hurry..... things including me.
I followed behind him like a confused child "where are we going?" I asked
"California" he announced "Mr Lawsen is waiting for us"
You should see my face right now...I was basically in a trance.
California!?!
(✿✿✿)
Before you ask....No I have never been on a plane before but here I am in a private jet.
It seemed like I was the only one freaking out;the hostess' were walking around unbothered with a smile on their faces while Dalton just sipped on champagne and stared at some documents.I want my daddy,I was this close to tears......but I later slept off,it was the easiest way to get myself to not panic.
We landed in Cali after 3hours of being in the air,I didn't really care much about the scenery although it was beautiful....I just needed to find the nearest place to rest.
I'm exhausted
Dalton acted like this shotgun trip was normal,then again rich people......
"Is it okay to be here with out bringing anything like...I dunno clothes" I enunciated my words with a shrug.
"Don't worry about it... let's go" he hurried away before I could ask any other questions.
If I didn't know better I'd say he was excited.....I didn't know better.
We drove for another hour till we arrived at a mansion....trust me I'm not exaggerating,it is a mansion....at this point nothing surprises me again.
We were shown to our rooms by people I presume to be maids.
The room I had been given wasn't as simple as the one at Aiden's house,it was very large with a king sized bed and a welcome mat that said meow....cringe,I kicked it to a corner.I dragged myself into the bathroom and sat in the hot tub with roses inside, they'd probably prepared it before hand.... like I said I wasn't surprised.
Immediately I was done,I contemplated between putting on my sweaty suit or not.
I finally went with putting on my inner vest and suit skirt then plopped into bed with a relieved sigh I closed my eyes.My rest was abruptly cut short by the sound of the door swinging open and a pair of blue eyes staring at my now annoyed face.
"Do you ever knock" I groaned with an eye roll.
"Do you ever lock your door" he said nonchalantly as he stepped in.
"Get out Aiden" I said under my breath,I didn't have enough strength to care about what mood he's in.
"You're here to work not lazy around" I heard him say sternly.
Hah
"We'll work can kiss my Lazy ass" I retorted... face planting my head into the bed. I could feel his eyes burning a hole in my head.
"What kind of business takes place at this time?"
He walked to the window which exposed a beautiful view and gazed into the night,he looked breathe taking.
He had on a black shirt with three buttons loose exposing his firm chest and a white trousers...his face held no expression,he looked sad for some reason.
Finally he opened his mouth to say something,"It's a formal party" turning to me "all we have to do is show ourselves and then leave"."Do we have to?" I pouted.
"What kind of host throws a party he doesn't attend besides we have very important guests... it'd be rude to show no courtesy"
I just wanted to scream my life out,I have to go to a party?
I hate people....I miss the days when I'd lay in bed doing absolutely nothing.
But don't get me wrong.... I'm hardworking,I think.I watched him walk towards the wardrobe and put out a little black dress and pulled out a small jewelry box.
"Put this on" he threw it on the bed "you have 30 minutes.....meet me outside" with that he left.
My choices of putting on these heels had clearly been a mistake,I steadied myself as I walked outside heading for the party.
The classic piano notes filled the air as I stepped into the crowd, literally all eyes turned to me....I was starting to have a panic party in my heart as I stared down to check myself to see what was wrong.The dress was a short kind revealing my long legs with a keyhole neckline which showed the bulging of my chest all complemented with a black heel that hurts like a bitch.
A pair of blue eyes caught my attention as he ventured towards me.
I gave an nervous smile "how do I look?"
"You're....." He stared at me for a long while "late"
Dumbfounded
He gestured for me to follow him into the still staring crowd.
Running his had through his tousled hair while walking towards where the drinks were.I walked faster to catch up to him "Hey Aiden" he turned to me with a 'what' look plastered on his face.
"You look really good" I winked cheekily.
He stared down at me,"aren't you supposed to be mad that I woke you up?" He said with a raised brow.
"Who said I'm not?"
