Chapter 10:
Angela's pov:
After the owners of Jefferson and Son company left, Andrew looked really stressed out.
"Andrew are you okay?"
He looked at me with tired eyes.
"Yes, I'm fine Angela. It's just that I have been trying to close this deal for a while, and they keep rejecting the offer. I don't even know if they're actually going to accept this time." He said, while he kept moving his hand through his hair.
"Andrew, it's all about having faith. You never know what the future withholds for you, you just have to enjoy the ride that life is." I said, while putting an arm on his shoulder.
"Remember when Adam wanted to speak to me in private." Andrew to say. I nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Well, he made me an offer in exchange for him to convince his father to accept the deal." He said.
"Well? What do you plan on doing? Do you plan on accepting the offer?" I asked.
"Well, I kind of already accepted it." He said.
"And? What is wrong with that? You are after all just trying to make your company better." I said in a comforting tone.
"Yes, but....there's just this barrier that keeps me from advancing." He said.
"And what is that barrier?" I asked.
"Well, it's actually-" he got interrupted, by the ringing of his cell phone. He looked down at the caller i.d, and spoke.
"I'm sorry Angela, but I have to take this. I'll talk to you later." He said getting up from his seat.
"See you." I said smiling at him.

Andrew's pov:
I looked at the caller ID and saw it was Caroline.
I apologized to Angela, and left the room.
"Hello Caroline" I greeted.
"Hi Andrew, I just wanted to check if our agreement was still on for tomorrow?" She asked.
"Yes Caroline, it still is." I replied.
"Okay, At what time are you going to pick me up?" She asked.
"At 7:30 p.m." I replied.
"Alright, goodbye Andrew" she said.
"Bye"
Tomorrow night is the night that I will see Angela jealous. I can't wait.

•The next day• (Saturday)
Angela's pov:
I woke up to the smell of crispy bacon.
I got up from bed and did my morning routine. I started to walk down stairs, and enter the kitchen.
"Angela!!!!!" I heard Miranda yell. But since she was cooking scrambled eggs, her back was facing me, so she didn't see me.
I decided to scare her, so I slowly, without making any sound, walked behind her and yelled.
"Miranda!!!!!!" I yelled in her ear.
Her getting scared made me get accidentally hit by the wooden spoon she was using.
"Ouch!" I groaned, while touching my cheek softly.
"Are you okay Angie?" Miranda said in a caring tone.
"Yeah" I replied, while walking towards the mirror that is in the living room.
I put my hand away from my cheek, and was relieved to only see a red pinkish colored mark instead of a bruise or something more noticeable.
I heard footsteps coming towards me.
"How bad is it?" Miranda asked.
"Not bad, but the hit did hurt." I said, while slowly caressing my cheek.
"Well that's what you get, you shouldn't of screamed in my ear." She said in a 'mad' tone.
"Yeah sure, whatever mom. It's my new way of greeting you." I said grinning.
"Angela Elizabeth Bradshaw, you better not do that again, or I will make sure that you don't eat my homemade chocolate chip cookies ever again." She yelled in a serious tone.
Aww!! I can't live without her chocolate chip cookies.
"Okay", I said in a defeated tone.
"Now that's more like it" she said smiling."what are you going to wear for the annual company ball?" She asked me.
"I don't know" I said.
"What's the theme?"
"It's renaissance" I replied.
"renaissance?" She asked while raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, everyone has to wear something related to the Renaissance era." I said.
"Do you know what you're going to wear?"
"Yeah, it's going to be a pink dress." I said, walking back to the kitchen.
"Pink? But you dislike pink."
"Yes, I know. It's just that pink fit the design of the dress perfectly." I said, while serving myself breakfast.
"Well, when can I see it?"
"After breakfast, I'll show you the dress."
She nodded and we started to eat breakfast.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
After breakfast we went up to my room, and I got the dress I would be wearing later out of the closet.
"Wow!! It's gorgeous Angie. It's one of the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen in my life." Miranda said in a dreamy tone.
"Yeah, the design is unique and very elegant." I said looking at the details of the dress.
"Yeah, you will represent the Bradshaw name and company with pride." She said looking at me with gleaming eyes.
"Yeah I know, the Bradshaw name has always stood tall and proud and it will continue being that way." I said in a proud tone.
"How and when did you even get this dress?" Miranda asked.
"Well, I was talking to my mom one day and I talked to her about the annual ball and she said that this dress has belonged to the family for a while and she said that she would mail it to me so that I could wear it." I explained to Miranda.
"That's good, anyway I have a date today with John tomorrow night and I thought that maybe you could help me choose and outfit?" Miranda said slowly.
"Yeah sure, but why don't you just use the dress you woke me up for last week. The one that you claimed that you fell in love with." I said smiling at her.
"No, that dress I will use for your birthday." She said in a matter of fact tone.
I rolled my eyes at her and chuckled.
"Well, what do you want to wear?"
"I want something simple"
"Okay, how about a pair of jeans, an elegant shirt, and high heels?"
"No, I want something casual yet that it also looks elegant." She whined.
"Well, I got no idea." I said defeated.
"Look how about we go to the book store and probably being in a quiet place will get you to come up with an idea of an outfit?" I suggested.
"A book store? You know I don't like to read, I dislike it." She said.
"Well, you've never really given reading a chance." I said.
She stayed quiet and started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" I asked her.
"Well, don't you want to go to the book store." She replied in a bored tone.
"Well not if you're going to be acting like that." I said giving her an expectant look.
"*sighs* I'm sorry Angie." She said looking down.
I gave her a small smile, and started to get ready.

(1 hr. Later)
Miranda and I were currently at the book store, drinking coffee and looking for things that we wanted.
I was looking for a good book to read, while she was looking for an album or a magazine.
I was passing through the bookshelves, when I stumbled to a person.
"I'm so sorry sir. I was walking-" I started to say while looking down, but then I then started to look up and smiled when I saw Max standing up and he was extending his hand so that I could take it and he could help me get up.
I got his hand and stood up.
"Thanks Max" I said smiling at him.
"Well, I was taught to be a gentleman to everyone. Especially to pretty women." He said, winking at me when he said the last sentence.
I shook my head at him, and started to walk to the next bookshelf; having him walking by my side.
"I never really saw you as a guy that likes to read." I said looking at some of the books.
"Well, if you remember, when we were kids I kind of used to read a lot, and well I guess it stuck with me." He said looking at me in an adoring way.
Wait, adoring?
"Why are you looking at me that way?" I said raising an eyebrow.
"Nothing, are you going to the annual ball?" He asked.
"Yeah, after all I have to represent the Bradshaw Co." I said proudly.
"Yeah, me too I have to represent Smith & Son co."
"Well, look at us.* chuckles* who knew one day we would be representing our family." I said smiling.
"Do you know what you're going to wear?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm going to wear a dress that belonged to my family for generations." I said."what about you?"
"I'm also going to wear an outfit that belonged to my family for generations." He said smiling.
"Well see you later" We both said unison smiling to each other.
With that we both parted and I started to look for a book. It felt nice talking to Max.
