True Love Wish ... Was it really worth it? (#Wattys2016)

Chapter 7 - Unexpected news

As she knocked on the door Twinkle was prepared to see her friend unhappy in crumpled attire, crying her eyes out and a makeup smeared face. Millie however opened the door with a small smile dressed in a comfortable denim dress, her honey colored hair were tied neatly and face was clear, she wore no makeup and eyes were hidden behind Gucci sunglasses.

"Oh what a relief to see you so much better than I thought," Twinkle hugged her and notices a small red bag on the floor.

"You ready?" she asks her and Millie nods.

"I was in a bad shape till you called. You told me to get ready fast so I put the remaining tears on hold," Millie frowned as picked up her bag with one hand and started to lock her home.

"I know what you mean. I broke up with Stanley but all I could think about was how to save my office," Twinkle stopped herself as she got in her car. She should not burden her friend with her problems at the moment.

"Twinkle really, again?" Millie asked her dumbfounded, putting her bag in the backseat. She actually was hearing the wedding bells for Twinkle and Stanley. He was a good catch and seemed loyal too.

"What do you mean by save your office?" she asked her whilst she sat next to Twinkle.

"It's a long story. I will share it with you as we ride home," Twinkle strapped herself in and rode off from Barry's and Millie's mansion. She wanted to know what had gone wrong in their relation but knowing Millie she knew that nothing will be disclosed till her friend is ready.

As promised, Twinkle shared all that occurred in her life past two days. It felt a lot like an eternity for her. She and Stanley were so happy yet now the only memory she has is of his face when he left her office which is somehow replaced by Solomon mocking and taunting her, reminding her how she felt when he got too close to her in his office. She shakes off the tingles she just felt.

"Don't you think you should give him another chance?" Millie asks her.

"Who?" Twinkle asks as she smoothly changes the car lane.

"Stanley of course, wait is there someone else too?" Millie takes off her sunglasses and peers at her friend and despite the darkness in their car she could have sworn Twinkle's cheek were bleeding red at the moment. Something else rather someone else has appeared in her friend's life.

Millie groans as she asks her, "Who is it? Why don't you ever learn? Stanley was so right and he came back but you just shooed him away. I am telling you Winky if you go on like this a day will come when you will end up being a lonely old lady with Rudolph."

"Don't call me Winky and it isn't like that. There is no one. I have not shooed Stanley away. I was angry with him mostly because I was about to lose everything I have worked so hard for," Twinkle told her and analyzed that's exactly what she had done.

"So then you will get back with him," Millie asks her again.

Twinkle recalls how she had insisted that Solomon should get Stanley to sign with them. Maybe deep inside she still has feelings and hopefully so does Stanley.

"Yes, maybe I will."

"Good and tomorrow onwards you are working with that arrogant Henderson. You know the guy seems as fishy as his name Solomon-Salmon get it?," Millie begins to laugh at her own joke and Twinkle joins her. She never thought like this before but knew that from now on her so would be boss would forever be etched as "Solomon the fish" on her mind.

They reach her home soon afterwards and were greeted with excited Rudolph. He is very fond of Millie especially as she never forgot to bring his treat whenever she came over.
