One MONTH Nightstand

Chapter 8

"Boss how many people are we going to invite for the meet up??," Xylin's voice break into Dylan's thoughts. He was busy playing the pilot team for POC (Pirates of the Ocean). Dylan was lucky enough to land his dream job. Working for him is like playing 24/7 and Playing was his work. Now who would ask for more right? A gamer's idea of a dream job.

They called the big boss's (meaning him) birthday meet ups. Usually because it's where the big client's gathered all the time and a few chosen addict gamers who really like to have a copy of their latest game CHEATS.

"I think around one hundred will do. The last time we did it a lot of people crashed and I don't want that to happen again."

Xylin nodded. "Boss about your dad. The event will be held at the BALLROOM of D&G Enterprise. Black tie. 8PM. I already confirmed your attendance."

"What?!," he snapped. He had just gotten the latest report for PKC and looks like there's really a bug after all. Someone's been tampering with his data bank.

Xylin froze in her seat.

"I'm sorry. What are you saying again Xy???"

"I already confirmed your attendance to your father. You did say yes that you were coming to his company's founding date before you went on your vacation right?"

Some vacation it is, Dylan thought wryly. "Yeah. A black tie . Hated parties like that," he stated.

Xylin half smiled. "The founding's date on the next day after our Meet up Event."

"Okay," he said boredly. "Can you buzz Lucas for me, I just want to ask him something. And please halt my PKC for the moment."

"Noted Boss."

"Dylan, hows Sta Monica?"

"Crowded. I think there's too many beach houses out there now."

"So any news??" Lucas asked as he sipped his beer and scanned the patrons. Dylan seldom went with Lucas on a bar.

"None."

"Why don't you move on dude. It's been eight years already. Tell you what the new game tester chick was hot! Have you seen her??"

"Not interested."

"Hey look. I think I just spotted KC."

Dylan looked up sharply. "Where??" he asked. He knew that Lucas was only bullying him but well he can always hope that he'd bump with KC one of these days. He spotted Eunice immediately searching the crowd as if she knew he'd be there.

"Fuck you Lucas. Did you tell Eunice that I'll be here tonight??" Dylan growled.

"Ofcourse not! She may have you tracked you know." Lucas joked.

"I'm heading home." Dylan said as he stood up hastily and headed through the back exit.

The back exit was narrow as few people use that door. He was at the door when someone grabbed his hand. It was a girls. Judging from its softness and size yet it got a strong grip.

"Sean! What took you so long?! I have been waiting for ages!" the girl complained.

Dylan tugged his hand back but the girl's grip was vice like. He had been mistaken for someone else atleast he had escaped Eunice's crutches.

"I'm sorry I'm not Sean." He muttered then tugged again. He tried to catch her face in the dark. He met with her eyes in the dark. The girl had let him go but a gasp had came out of her lips.

"Dylan?", she breathed his name unbelievably.

"I'm sorry but do we know each other??" He was a public figure. People knew him all the time. A dimmed light shone upon them as he tried to place her. She was pretty, that he was sure. It was a little dark so he couldn't quite see her. Her hair was long and silky, her skin tone was fair that looked so smooth, a half amused smile was place on her lips. She almost looked like someone he know if not for her brown eyes framed by long lashes. She was eyeing him too like some awestruck artist. Was it one of his fan??

"You don't remember me? How cruel. I think I deserve that." She said just as another guy exited the back door. He yelled when he spotted her.

"Cuz! Let's go!"

When the girl didn't budge he hopped on her car and maneuvered it before them. "KC! Hurry!" he yelled louder this time. Loud enough for Dylan to hear.

KC Davidson??! For real?
