"You didn't have to be so mean you know?" Justin said as they left restaurant.
"It isn't my fault besides I didn't ask her to be so clumsy and stupid "Xavier replied.
" Come on,let's get to work " Justin said as he left the restaurant.
  In the car, Xavier couldn't help but think about the lady who bumped into him. She was very beautiful and her lips.. damn it, they looked so succulent inviting him for a kiss. He shook his head to clear his thoughts
"By the way ,that lady is beautiful..don't you think so, Xavier?" Justin asked .
" None of my business"Xavier replied coldly .

"I see you get excited when I put that tip inside..." Leslie sang along to a song being played in the bar. She was drunk already,
She called her best friend
"Pic.. pick up... pick up already you fool" she spoke carelessly then giggled .
"What ??" Briana asked .
"Come... come pick your baby up hehehehe"she giggled once more.
"Leslie are you drunk ?" Briana asked sounding worried.
" I flopped bri-bri ....I'm ...(coughs)I'm a failure" Leslie mumbled and started sobbing. Leslie had very low alcohol tolerance. " Where are you?" Briana asked .
"I'm ..where am I ?? Excuse me mister ....where  am I??" She sounded really stupid ..lol "I'm in a bar " she yelled
"Obviously.... Which bar? Come on Leslie speak up " Briana was getting impatient already,she was worried sick about her friend.
"I'm...I'm in bar with blue lights ... blue lights and a ceiling heheheheh" Leslie was speaking gibberish. Briana knew she had to use her intuition , Leslie was of no help to her.
"I'm coming Leslie stay right there" Briana said and cut the call .
" I'm staying right here ... right here hehe" she mumbled slightly dozing off.
"Bri-bri!!!" Leslie giggled and ran to Meet her bestie
"God you reek of alcohol ,how many bottles did you have?" Briana said .
" Come on let's get you home, already called a taxi " Brianna said struggling to get Leslie on her feet.
"In the dark of night
The stars light up the sky
We see them flying free
That's just like you and me
Every one is lonely sometimes
But I'll walk a thousand miles to see you smile "
Leslie sang out loud , everyone stared at them with amusement.
"What could have happened to you " Brianna muttered to herself.
"Bri-bri" Leslie said
"Hmm?"
" I met a demi god today " Leslie muttered and immediately fell asleep on Brianna's shoulder .
" What does she mean" Brianna mumbled ,she became curious all of a sudden.

" What the hell happened to her?" Damian asked .
"Shut the fuck up and assist me ,I'm exhausted already" Brianna yelled frustrated already.
"Oh okay " Damian said and carried Leslie to her room .
"God my sis is heavy , I'm exhausted
I guess you are tired , sit down
Let me get you a drink " Damian said as he headed to the kitchen
" Hughhhh ...thanks " Brianna replied and sat down .
" Here" Damian said as he gave her a glass of hot chocolate.
"Hot chocolate? Really?" Brianna collected it giggling.
Damian turned red all of a sudden
"Well.. you loved chocolate when you were little didn't you?" He muttered.
"That was then ,it's too sugary for me now, thanks though" Brianna said as she sipped it.
"Let me guess, my sister flopped again ?" Damian said.
"Well yeah ,but you can't blame her" Brianna said pitying her best friend.
"That's the only thing she is good at.... flopping ,how silly " Damian said .
"Damian !!!" Brianna yelled " how could you say that about your sister"
"What? She should work hard" Damian said
" Do you even know what she is going through? I'm leaving" Brianna yelled and stood up in anger
"Wait...." Damian said as he held unto her,
" I'm sorry"
" I don't know what to tell you but value your sister , how could you say that ?? She is trying her best you know??"
" I know ....I'm just frustrated mom is in the hospital .... she is sick and ..dad ,dad is dead " Damian lamented his eyes already tearing up.
" Come here"Brianna whispered as she spread her arms widely for a hug.Damian went to her crying his heart out
"It's gonna be okay " she whispered continuously, tapping his shoulder.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Leslie woke up with a strong headache
"Ughhhhh what happened to me " she whispered. She quickly had a shower and brushed her teeth
"My stomach hurts " Leslie said .
" Come here Leslie" her brother called from the living room.
" Coming" she yelled back wondering what Damian wanted from her again
" Hope he is not gonna yell at me because I'm not in the mood " she muttered to herself.
"I made breakfast" Damian said with a smiley face
" Oh my God, damian....." For starters , Leslie was shocked .
" And I prepared some hangover soup for you,your stomach hurts right?"
Damian asked
" Well ....yeah" Leslie responded still shocked .
" Come on ,let's eat" damian said .Leslie sat down and had some food
"Hmmmm ... delicious" she smiled .
" Sis " Damian called
" I'm very sorry for being so inconsiderate
I did not consider your feelings, I was being selfish ...I'm really sorry sis "
" It's okay  Damian, it's fine " Leslie whispered.
" I'll get a job as soon as possible and sort mom's hospital bills okay ?" She said .
" Hmm" he nodded .
Leslie wondered what brought about the sudden change in her brother. When she was done eating,she went back to her room to rest ,she must have drunk a lot yesterday.

"Don't you think this work is becoming to stressful for you to handle alone? You need a secretary Xavier "Justin suggested.
" Thanks for your opinion but I'm fine " Xavier responded without looking up. They were about to launch a new game and they were pretty occupied.
Justin stared at the dark circles underneath his friend's eyes ." You haven't even be sleeping well bro, I'm hiring a secretary and that's final" Justin said sternly and walked out
" Don't try anything stupid Justin" Xavier yelled.
" Too late" Justin muttered.

Leslie was on her laptop checking to see if there were new job vacancies
" Nothing new ..." She whispered. She was about to close her laptop when she saw something." DREAMRISE ENTERTAINMENT is in need of a secretary?" She yelled excitedly. Leslie loved games and most of her favourite games were made in dreamrise entertainment. She had heard so much about the company and how ruthless the CEO can be .
" Should I do this ?" She muttered to herself.
" Let me give it a try ,I know it won't work out but there is no harm in trying" she said and filled in the necessary details half-heartedly .
