When Marcus asked me if I wanted to grabbed a drink I thought we'll go to a simple bar in town. Not some lavish speakeasy.

"This is what I had in mind when I agreed to a drink,"I say to him. I look around and even though the bar is dimmed I could see everyone is dressed so lavishly.

And I am not.

I feel so...out of place.

"Well i wanted to make an impression," he says with a grin.

"Hmmm, you sure did that" I say before taking a sip of the drink we have order.

The drink was delicious. It was perfectly balanced with sweetness and tartness.

"This is good," I say.

He lightly laughs and it was nice to hear. "So i take it you had a rough day at work,"
He says.

I laugh.

"You damn right did. I just started my internship with Charlotte Albrecht," I tell him.

"Wait isn't she the editor in chief of the fashion magazine...umm...umm" he begins to say snapping his fingers.

"Ensemble Elegance," he finally says.

"Yes her."

"Why do you want to work for her anyway i hear she's the devil incarnate," he says.

""I see her as the key to my future. She is an icon in the fashion world who has the power to make or break any designer's career. My dream is to become a great fashion designer of my generation, and not just any designer." I explained to him.

"That is a dream. Here..." he says raising his glass to me "...we toast to dreams,"he said.

I raise up my glass to toast to his.

"To dreams," I say clicking my drink with his.

We both took a sip from our drinks.

I put my drink down first.

"So why did you ask me to drinks," I asked with a curious smile, leaning in slightly.
