Eric's POV

I watched her as we walked down the halls towards my office. She sent polite smiles everyone's way. Returning hellos and looked like she was in a good mood. She was a good actor and knew how to show manners. She would be perfect for tonight.

At first I didn't even think about tonight's dinner. I was planning on being discreet and have her taken away in a way that the news won't get out about it.

I really didn't know how to find a decent women for dinner tonight. Plus I wanted her to pay from stealing from me. The money wasn't that much and I would be fine if she actually got away with it but still, no one steals from me. I was killing two birds with one stone.

I let her keep the money because she obviously needs it more than me. I don't know how she feels because I have never been broke or poor before. So, I offered her a better job with better pay with her friend.

I got lost in talking about my family. She nodded occasionally and rarely wrote anything on the pad I gave her. For a little bit I forgot who I was talking to. It seemed like she was listening but I'll have to see when we go shopping for her dress for tonight.

Her, Veronica, and Ashton got in the car with me. I sat on the one end facing Veronica and Ashton while she sat next to me playing with her fingers.

We sat in silence until we were at the mall a half an hour later. I waited for them to exit the car before we went inside. I grabbed Ashton's arm making him come to a stop.

"Go with Veronica for a dress. I will meet you in there soon!" I shouted to the two girls who simply nodded and scurried inside. I looked back at Ashton.

"I need you back at the office. I need you to reschedule everything for the rest of the day because I will be busy."

"Okay, boo! That's very hurtful that you dont want my company Eric. Wait, I know what it is. You want that Kendra chick all to yourself. Am I right?" He asked raising an eyebrow in question.

I sent a hard glare his way making him hold his arms up in defence. He patted my shoulder before climbing back into the car waiting for him.

I sighed and walked through the doors into the air conditioned mall. I walked down the long hallway. With multiple stores I passed I got stares. I ignored them and walked down towards the store Veronica texted me. I have been in that store multiple times. More than once I had to make sure the women who accompany me have a good appearance and wouldn't embarrass me.

I walked through the walkway not shortly after. I walked the familiar path towards the dressing rooms as I passed the smirking women hoping to get in my pants. I kept a scowl on my face and sat down on the white couch as I waited for Veronica to show me her picks.

The vibration of my phone in my pocket made me move my eyes away from a specific blonde I had my eyes on wearing a tight, tight dress.

I bit my lip and picked up my phone and snapped at whoever was on the other side of the call, "What!!"

I immediately regretted using that tone when I heard the sweet voice of my little sister, "Eric?"

"Elena? Sorry, I am just in a... situation right now."

"It's ok, I just wanted to ask you something that you have to promise to tell the truth." She said and I sat up a little on the couch I was sitting on. She sounded serious.

"What is it El?" I asked.

"You have to promise!"

I rolled my eyes but still gave her what she wanted, "I promise."

I heard her sigh, "It's about tonight. You know about the dinner and all?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Well, I was wondering if you were in the mood to break someone's arm if..." She hesitated to continue.

I groan in frustration, "What is it El?"

"I asked Ashton to be my date." She finally said in one breath.

"What!?" I shouted through the phone earning me a look from the blonde and a few other women walking in and out the dressing rooms. I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair to try and calm down and speak more lower, "What do you mean you asked my assistant out for our family dinner tonight?"

"I mean exactly that. Before you go crazy. I only did this yesterday. I didn't have a date and I thought you trusted your assistant. I mean he is your assistant. It's not like I like him or anything. It's just a simple thing. I needed a date and he seemed suitable."

"What makes you think that! If he fucking tries anything I will not only end his career I will murder him!"

"Well, what's the point of that. If you killed him then he'll be dead and it wouldn't matter about his career." She reasoned. I groaned out in frustration as she giggled through the phone.

"We'll talk about this later." I snapped and hit the end bottom as Veronica came up with dresses in her hands followed by Kendra.

"I don't care what they look like. I trust your taste of style Veronica. Just try them on and I will be testing your listening skills Miss.Peterson."

At the corner of my eye I could see her roll her eyes but grabbed the 5-7 dresses in Veronica's hand. She walked into the dressing room as Veronica sat down on the couch next me.

"Are you going to quiz me or do I just Wing it?" I heard Kendra say from the dressing room.

"I don't particularly like your smart ass comments Miss.Peterson." I said and started to throw questions at her.
