-- Laila's POV --

I made my way in the building, Grace following after me as we kept quiet laughing going on and on about topics we went over with.

I greeted the staff members we ran into mid way while getting in the elevator and driving to the top floor.

"Listen, i'm gonna talk over about that with Hannah. She already suggested of hosting the birthday party for her at the house so just invite someone else with you. More people, the better." Grace added in. We stepped out the elevator and made our way down the hallway.

"Won't miss out on parties." I replied back with a chuckle. Grace and i stopped by the door of my office but before i walked in myself, i spoke out. "Listen, get comfortable, everything you see inside, you can use and steal but i'm gonna run somewhere real quick." I patted her shoulder while speaking, greeting her in the office.

"If you allow me to steal everything then by the time you're back, there's only going to be the carpet on the ground." Her lips formed a playful smile at me but i closed the door, immediately walking to the direction of Casey's office.

I knocked on the door and got the approval to enter. "Morning." I spoke out immediately after i stepped in. My eyes landed on her at the desk, her attention coming off the documents on the table and over to me. "Good morning, miss." She spread a confident smile on her face while i walked closer.

"Wanted to check if you kept your promise about not being late again." I stopped at the other side of the table, gazing my look down most of her body that was visible from her sitting in the chair. "Like i said, it won't happen again so don't have to worry about it." Her sweet and innocent smile genuinely made me even more cheerful for today.

"But for the actual reason i came here, i wanted to suggest you something." I rised her curiosity, watching her lean back on the chair. "And what would that be?"

"See, not sure if you remember but one girl from my celebration, Hannah, is hosting a birthday party tonight. Like the fun lifestyle i have, wanted to share it with you so care to come?" I questioned towards her.

"Oh? Well, it is a work day tomorrow so i don't think it's the smartest decision to accept that." Casey spoke back. Causing me to give out a sigh to her innocent reply. "Well than let me rephrase the question." I placed my hands on the desk, leaning closer to her. "It's a demand for you to come with me." I purposely pulled up a smile at her while saying.

Silence settled in between us for a few seconds. Watching her rethink the idea from her thoughtful expression. I let my eyes travel down her body once more, now visible to see every part of it.

The black and lose suit pants, white shirt tightly pressed against her body, spiking every curve out and seeable. Might just assume she's taking notes of my fashion to use on hers.

"So? Can't say no to something your boss orders." I kept my smile up. Eye contact coming right back between the two of us. "Than i'll be there. Just text me the address and time." Her answer finally came out, a wave of joy coming over me.

"Of course. Meet you there." I stood back up, turning around and leaving her office.

I parked my car outside Hannah's house, getting out and locking the Ferrari. My eyes roamed across the other cars here, seeing that Casey has already arrived.

I rang the doorbell and was welcomed in by Hannah. "Happy birthday, little one." I went in for a hug as she happily accepted it. "Thank you but don't call me no little one. You're just a few years older than me." She aparted away as i gave out a laugh.

I slid my jacket off, placing the shoes to the side before picking up the gift bag. "I'm sure this will come in handy at events." I handed it over to her, Hannah gratefully taking it and peeking inside.

"You did not splurge again!" She spoke out with a annoyed look at me. "You deserve to-" I was about to make up a joke but my eyes traveled to the side, seeing Casey walk over with a smile. "Gift exchange already?" She asked, seeing the bag in Hannah's hand.

"Well it isn't Christmas so we aren't playing no secret santa." I answered back with a laugh but absorbed Hannah open the bag, taking the long and thin box out firstly. She revealed the necklace i had bought, her eyes immediately sparkling to the sight of it.

I gave a glance to Casey, her eyes seeming to be wider than the birthday girl's. I chuckled out to the sight but watched her take the larger box out, revealing the high heels that took quite some time to receive from them being sold out.

"Now i didn't aim to get the full set of a dress and lingerie because.. you know, i have no clue what your size is." I gave a wide smile to Hannah, her eyes landing on mine finally. "For the love of god, stop joking! I love this! Thank you!" She reached her arm out to accept in another hug.

"Quite the gift." Casey had added in, giving me an approving smile. "Come on! Let's go eat, foods ready." Hannah spoke out, watching her walk to the kitchen area yet i didn't bother to move yet. Putting my attention on Casey.

Her white dress, just stopping right above her knees. The hair that's left open as she has these tiny hoop earrings in, a lightly toned and gold necklace laying on her neck. Pure perfection and beauty is all i could see in her right now.

"You definitely go all out." Casey hadn't yet followed after Hannah as well, having her eyes on me while speaking. "I don't care to waste some money on people that deserve it." I had stepped slightly closer to her, breaking the personal space bubble.

"I'll get you something if you don't mind." I tilted my head lightly whilst saying. Watching her expression intrigue after my confession. "But it's not my birthday plus do i really deserve it?" Her arms crossed on her chest, her giving me a look of seduction.

"It doesn't have to be an occasion to give gifts and trust me, darling, you definitely deserve to be splurged on." I gave a smile towards her, absorbing her lips give me the same.

"Let's go." She didn't bother to comment further and began walking the way Hannah went so i followed after, arriving to the crowd of people already partying.
