I wake up,and all the memories from last night come rushing back into my mind. I sit up,not really wanting to get out of the hotel bed. I reach for my phone on the nightstand and check the time. I see that it's 6 o'clock in the afternoon. I missed work,so there's no point in getting up now. I call Troye,to know what I missed during the day. I dial the company phone number,but no on picks up. I try it again and still no answer. I don't no why, there's no one there,considering the company is 24 hour service.
I call Troye's cell phone number,and he instantly picks up
"Troye." I say.
"Yes,Mrs.Dolan?" He asks.
"Why is nobody answering the company phone line?" I ask.
"Mr.Dolan put everyone on leave. He said that it was under your command."
"What? Okay,fax me the notice and I call you back." I say.
"He didn't print out a notice. He basically just told everybody to go home."
"I call you later." I say.
"Oh,Mr.Maloley sent feedback." He says.
"Really? What'd he say?"
"He said that he would love to meet you for dinner tonight at Providence on Melrose." He says.
"Great. What time?"
"9:30." He simply says.
"Okay. Thank you so much." I say.
"No problem."
"You really deserve a raise." I say.
"Noted." He says.
"Bye." I say.
"Bye."
He hangs up the phone,and I get out of bed. I run to the bathroom and turn on the shower. I take off my clothes and get in.

I get out of the shower and grab one of my suitcases. I open it and go through my limited fashion choices. I pick out a dress and put it on.

Even though I look beautiful at this moment,I feel like I'm the ugliest person in the world right now. I mean if my own husband doesn't want me,then who does? Maybe I am overthinking the situation. I love Ethan, with all honesty but I know he's cheating on me. I look in his eyes everyday,but all he tells me is lies. I would never go for anyone else,even though he has been treating my like nothing lately.
I exit my hotel room and walk to the elevator. I push the button that leads to the lobby,and listen to the soothing music as I wait for the elevator to stop. It finally stops,but not in the lobby. An older couple walks into the elevator,and they smile at me. I smile back at them and,the older lady speaks to me.
