"Choose your last words, this is the last time."

I walk into the Bayard Building, still feeling the frustration from this past weekend. Honestly, I'm just relieved I'll never have to see him again. One-night stands aren't my thing—they're simply not my style.

I spoke with my mom this morning, I'm really glad she called. She made me feel a little better, I told her everything that happened. It wasn't out the ordinary for me to have a sex life, I'm simply not that open about it.

I took the elevator up, it almost closed before someone stopped it. Surprise it was Stassie, she notices me and a guilty look took over her face.

"I'll just get the ne—," I cut her off dragging her in with me, following with Elliot.

"Good morning ladies." He murmured, and we greet him back.

I couldn't hold it in any longer, "You've been avoiding me all weekend." I frustratedly whispered at her.

"I'm sorry okay! What happened that night was unexpected. I looked around and you were gone, someone told me you left with the guy from the balcony." She continued, "I invited you out under my responsibility. What kind of friend am I you know?"

She crossed her arms before looking down, I smile slowly graced my face. "I didn't know we were friends."

"Of course we are, I like so love you already," she playfully answered.

"Your not off the hook, you didn't respond to my calls or texts."

"I know but we have to discuss what happened after you left. I want all the details." We laugh.

"God just hug already." Elliot sighed pinching the bridge of his nose. "I can't have this bickering on working hours. End it now please." He stepped off, we shared a look grinning following closely behind him.

The day went on and we were sat in a meeting room, with the other students Elliot and Luke asked to stay back. They were seated at the head of the table.

"Okay, people we have our most important investors joining us today. I'll be handing out a file of our most major clients, you'll be discussing their current accounts and answering any questions."

Elliot handed me my file as soon as I opened it, I wanted to close it. His name is Reign Gusev, I removed this knowing the maid told me his last name but is it really him? He was touching some serious cash investing a rare figures into this company while stocking his money here. It made me wonder what kind of money this man was sitting on.

My thoughts got the best of me, "S-sir my apologies but would it be alright to swap out for a different client?"

Everyone turned their heads in my direction, it was dead silent for that one second.
