"Penny for the ear, how much for the wrist?" He joked "Has anyone seen Lorenzo?"

"No, where is he by the way?"

"I think I just asked you the same question but he just might be hiding away charming some very pretty lady."

"I spoke with my secretary and told her to make the arrangements, have you spoken with her?"

"Yes I have. You know, I speak to your secretary more than I speak to you. Do you think you can just string me along and deal with me whenever you feel like it. I have a life too Lorenzo."

"You're overeacting. You know this week is impor-"

"Maybe, I should just move out. It's not like you have time for me."

"If you feel that way, then yes you should."

"Fine then, when you get back to New York we can discuss this."

"We can discuss this n-"

"Whatever, goodbye."

"Bye, Ronnie."

I hung up the phone, watching all the people networking and mingling while I picked a fight with my now ex-girlfriend.

"I think that if we put our heads together and combine our busin-"

"Hello, Mr. August." A woman said passing by

"How are you- look I gotta go we can set up a meeting for next Monday, I'll have my people call your people." With that I walked away from the man.

"Your coat Mr. August." The usher gave me my jacket

"Thank you, uh Mendez."

"Lorenzo, hi."

"Gloria." I said, shocked to see her here

"Hey, I'm sorry about your brother."

My brother, passed away recently. He was also my business partner. We made big things happen together.

"Yeah, he's in a better place. So, I heard you up and got married."

Me and Gloria, we have history. She was a previous fiancé of mine, but things didn't work out the way we planned. I found out some baggage, the day of our wedding and I left her at the alter.

"Yeah, I did. I couldn't hold on to you..."

"Mhm, I see but uh- tell me something. When we were together did you and my secretary talk more than we did?"

"Lorenzo, she was my maid of honor..."

"Ahh, well, um see you around Gloria. Your husband is a lucky guy."

"Take care." She said

I searched for Ray, my lawyer. I spotted him sitting with a girl.

"Gimme the keys to your car."

"Renzo, where are you going? Why can't you take the limo?"

"The limo is parked behind a bunch of other vehicles and Darrell can't get it out. Just, give me your keys."

"Alright, but I don't think you should drive this car, you look kinda heated. I'll work something out. Fellas can you please move these cars you don't get paid to stand here." He rambled on

I swiftly got inside his car and put the key in the ignition.

"Renzo, uh have you driven a stick shift, are you familiar with it?"

"Yeah, yeah of course I am." I lied

"Listen, be gentle with it, this is my baby. It's new, don't wreck it."

I mashed the gas petal trying to leave but he stopped me.

"Hey, I love this car." I said

"I love it too. Do you know where you're going?"

Before I could answer I sped off.

"You're going the wrong way! Beverly Hills is down the hill. You'll get lost, you don't know this town!" I heard him in a distance

Like he said, I went the wrong way and ended up at a dead end. I turned around and sped down the hill. The correct way.

Not much for a first chapter but, how was it? I'm posting the next chapter tomorrow.
