Chapter 10

     ~Fleur~

     "Oh My God." Were the words that slipped out of my mouth as I stared at Mich with wide eyes. She lifted an eyebrow and re-tie her ponytail. 

     "It's not that surprising, is it? I thought you knew, since you obviously sent my brother to jail." 

     Somehow her words triggered a little anger inside me. "Hey! He tried to kill me! It's not my fault that he deserves to be in jail, you know?!" I said in an angry voice. I tried to keep my voice neutral so I wouldn't end up shouting in the office about a guy named Lance who tried killing me to his sister. I expected Mich to blow up at me and defend her brother, but instead, she smiled and nodded in approval. 

     "Yeap, you're Fleur alright. Don't worry, I am mature enough to know what my brother did was wrong." She paused and looked grim. She quickly went to the door and closed and locked it. Then she leaned on the door and stared at me. "You know about my mother then?" Even if it was only her and I in the office, she whispered and kept her voice low. Was she worried that someone might try to listen into our conversation? 

     I bit my lip and nodded. She let out a sigh of relief and smiled at me. "Good, 'cause Will would need your help. My mom knows you and Will had a 'thing' for each other in the past." 

     "And so she and Will's dad planned to arrange a marriage between Will and a girl named Flower who just so happens to have the name that Will used to call me by. Yeah, I know that part. But why does Will think I could help him in anything? It's not like I could just karate-chop that lady and hand her off to the officers, they would think I'm crazy!" 

     "Will has his own reasons. I don't know that part either." Mich sighed and walked over to the printing machine and printed another set of papers. 

     I was already working on my own photocopying machine, but at the same time I responded Mich. "You seem to be close to Will, how come I've never heard of you before?" 

     "I was immature, and I didn't want anyone to know I'm related to that rich boy. Letting everyone know you're rich is fun, but you wouldn't have real friends or boyfriends, especially if you're a girl." I nodded, I completely understood her. Before I met Will, I never really liked anyone and denied almost every guy because I was afraid of being used. I only had Polly as my friend back then because she was a real friend that I saved from a big bully. So somehow I was lucky that I'd found Will, who was someone like me. Rich, tough and smart. 

     "Well, I have to be getting back to my boss before he fires me!" I winked and gathered all the invitations before leaving Mich at the printing room. 

     Once I entered Will's office room, I placed the invitations on his desk and he looked up at me. "Polly's on the phone, talk to her." Will pointed at his office phone which was on hold. 

     "She is? Oh my God, thank you for telling." I reached out for the phone and quickly pressed it against my ear. "Polly? Is that you?"

     There was a gasp on the other side. "Fleur! So it is true! you're working for Will!" 

     Shit. "Um, Polly, it's Michelle Tyler, kays? This line isn't as safe as you think it is." 

     There was a pause. 

     "Oh." was all she managed. 

     "Polly, why did you call here anyways? Why didn't you just tried reaching my phone?" 

     "Apparently you left it at home. When I called, Liv was the one who answered it." I narrowed my eyes and tried to find my phone in my purse. Yeap, it's not there. 

     "Sorry, so what did you want to tell me?" I was definitely curious. By the sound of her voice, there was some excitement that she just couldn't wait to share with me. 

     "Ms Tyler, are you ready to know about the most awesome thing that just happened to me?" She was starting to squeal, I could tell. 

      "Yes, now get to the point!"

      "I'm getting married! Ken proposed to me this morning and our wedding is gonna be next week. I'm coming to New York and Will said we could have the wedding at his penthouse which is kinda cool. I mean, having a wedding at a penthouse in New York, how cool is that?! Oh My God, breathe Polly, breathe." While she contined to ramble, I was shocked and I just stared at Will with my mouth wide open. Polly was getting married?! Ken proposed to her?! Her wedding's at New York?! At Will's penthouse?!

      "Oh My Gosh, Polly! This is big news! When are you coming over?" 

     "I'll be reaching New York tomorrow night at eight, could you wait for me at the airport? I want you to be the first friend I meet when I land there." 

     "Polly, we're best friends. Of course I'll wait for you at the airport. Will would be there too." I nudged Will and he gave me a chuckle. 

     "Huh. So mind telling me how you ended up working for your boyfriend again?" 

     "Um, Polly? There's something you should know."

     "Yeah, what?"

     "He's engaged." 

     "To you?! Oh my gosh that's so cute! We could have a double wedding and-"

     "To another girl. Mrs Crazy Psycho Killer planned it." 

      There was a pause. 

     "Tell me everything once I land there."
