My Boss [COMPLETED]

Chapter 26: Getting ready

Weeks past by and finally the big party is here. Note the sarcasm. It was Roman and Teresa's engagement party. The one I  had to plan and set up.

Me and Roman never really got to finish what Josh interrupted and honestly I think it was a good think he did. If me and Roman had slept together that night, we would have opened a whole other can of worms.

For one, I know for a fact me and him wouldn't stop. so even after they become husband and wife, Roman and me would still be sleeping together and that's wrong fake or not, it's wrong.

I sighed while tapping my nails on my desk. Roman Is supposed to call me to tell me when I will be able to go home and change. I had to be the first person at the party since I planned and arranged everything.

Him and his father were in the office having a little meeting with Teresa and her father. I don't know what for but they need to hurry up, I want to go home already and get this stupid day over with.

I groan and grab my phone and started playing helix jump, when finally my office phone rang. Answering it quickly I said. "Hello" in a sweet fake happy tone. "Miss Carter you can go home now" Roman said on the other line. "Thank you Mr.knight" I replied and hung up.

Rolling my eyes and putting my fake smile away I grab my purse and got the hell out of there. Pressing the elevator button, I tapped my foot impatiently.

Looking at my watch to make sure I still had time. The party started at 8 it was 6 right now. I needed to go home, walk danger and get dressed. The elevator finally came, stepping into it I got a text from one of the body guards Ray hired. I completely forgot about them.

The text said. 'We have not seen the SUV since after your birthday ' I sighed in relief. 'Maybe He got bored ' I replied back.

The body guards were discreet. they looked like normal people. Ray hired 2 people. Both of them had their own car. one of them Rob had a blue Nissan and Mike had a Red Honda. You couldn't even tell that they were keeping watch, I even forgot all about them till Rob texted me.

I got out the elevator meeting Belle at her desk. "Hey girl, are you ready for the party?" She asked while stapling papers.

I sighed "is anybody really ready for this day....I'm just so over today I want to go home and cuddle with danger while eating ice cream"

Belle looked at me with pity. I shook my head at her and pointed my index finger to her "don't, don't do that " I warn. She shrugged her shoulders innocently. "Do what?" 

"Look at me with pity! You feel bad because you got your man and Tracy is about to get hers and I'm losing mine to a fake marriage" she sighed

"well technically I heard from one of the copy machine people that Teresa doesn't act like it's fake, the girl is in love with Roman!" Belle said while putting the papers she was stapling down.

I glared at her "Belle, i only told you and Tracy about it being fake...did you tell any body else?" She chuckled nervously

"no of course not! I'm just saying that they really think that she's madly in love with him" I rolled my eyes at her playfully. "Yeah well, its fake for Roman. I gotta go I'll see you at Satan's party" I said while walking to the door. "Be safe!" She called out.

As I'm walking to my car I see the SUV again. Glancing at it while I'm walking I notice the front window was cracked open. Someone was smoking through it.

I got inside my car while keeping my eyes at the SUV. Turning on the car I jumped when someone tapped on my window. It was the ginger guy from the parking lot, he owned the SUV. I lowered down my window a little bit, not all the way just a crack so I can hear him.

"Can I help you?" I asked. He smirked "this is for you, I was told to give it to you." The ginger guy said while slipping a big orange envelope inside the little crack I had from the window.

Taking it I said "who's it from?" He shook his head "can't say, you have to find that one out for yourself " with that said he walked away back inside his car. Sighing I eyed the envelope Suspiciously.

Putting it inside my purse so I can check on it later, I drove home in silence.

"What are you gonna wear to this thing anyway?" Josh asked while laying on my bed on his stomach. I sighed and started to throw some dresses on the bed.

"I don't know, something that says professional but I can steal your man whenever I want to" I told him while looking at 2 dresses, one was a nude color the other was blue.

"Which one" I said while putting both dresses up so he can look at them. He gave them a glance and shook his head. "Nope none of them " he got up and went to my closet. I sighed and sat on my bed. "Then what am I gonna wear?! Could I just wear sweat pants and a shirt and call it a day?"

He chuckled "no donkey, you need to wear something sexy so you can make Roman go crazy and wish he never went through this whole marriage thing in the first place." I rolled my eyes at him. "Josh I said it once before I'm gonna say it again...you're evil "

He laugh's and hands me a dress. "This is perfect, this screams 'you're gonna miss me'" I smiled at him and grabbed the dress. "What would I do with out you?" I asked. He shrugged "become a prostitute" I slap his arm and went to the bathroom to change.

I sighed as I came out. "Don't you think this is too much? I mean it's not my engagement party" Josh put his hand over his mouth. Totally ignoring what I said. "This is perfect!" He spun me around. "Where did you get this dress?" He asked.

"yesterday" I mumbled. He broke out into laughter "you bought this dress yesterday? Why?" I sighed and went to look for heels. "Because I saw it on the mannequin and I just had to get it, it looks expensive right? But really it was on sale for 30 dollars!"

His eyes went wide "damn, what store is this?" "Daring diva, the owner Elizabeth created this, this dress used to be just a plain grey dress and she used her magic fingers and created this!"

Josh nodded in approval. "Well it's gorgeous, she's really talented." I nodded in agreement and sat down on my bed while putting on heels.

"But you don't think it's too flashy?" I asked again. Josh sighed "Rachel you're about to go to a party where models are at, you are gonna fit right in if you wear this dress."

I sighed in defeat "fine I won't change, but I sure as hell am drinking tonight"
