"Take the model back Alex." I said pointing at the small scale model of Castiglione's theme park.Mr Pietro Mancini, a few architectural and engineering firms and myself had just been in a meeting for the past few hours discussing on improving the exterior, lighting, stone repairs and restoring window frames of the buildings now that the visitor's count had increased by a million annually.
I glanced at my watch, it was quarter past three in the afternoon.
Grabbing my coat from the chair , I walked out of Mr Mancini's office .
Alexis- my assistant approached me with a few files balanced on her arm ." Miss Hill , I think we might have to appoint a few more janitors and staff in the new section. "
"Then, so be it .You know what to do ." I said walking to the elevator.
"Are the brochures ready ?" I asked over my shoulder."Yes ma'am. "
The elevator door opened and I stepped inside making myself room in the corner .I was heading back home since there was nothing else to do at the moment .I decided to study a few documents to kill time for a while before I resume my hibernation.
I spotted my car down the aisle to the left and proceeded all the while pondering if I had to get another job so as to keep my mind preoccupied than getting insane with echoing silence in my mansion .
"Tracy ." someone called and my head snapped in the direction of the voice .
It was Ed Roche - the one I had met in the party a month ago.He was dressed in a grey suit and shining black shoes. Beside him I noticed his chauffeur waiting as he held the door open for him.
I smiled and waved awkwardly standing in the middle of the parking lot .
He motioned for his chauffeur to wait as he proceeded towards me elegantly with long strides ."Hey." I greeted him .
"I'm so sorry. I need your help badly. " he said urgently.
"Ya sure ." I said surprised.
"Can you be my date for the evening?" He asked raising his eyebrows gazing into my eyes .
"What?" I snapped and the surprise shook my posture as I nearly lost my balance.
"You're not currently dating anyone are you ?" He asked .
"No, but-"
"Thank god. Just for the evening. Drew has invited his clients to the party and I have to bring a date with me at any cost ."
"Drew? Drew as in Drew Jenkins?" I asked perplexed.
"Of course .He's very close to our family and also I work for him ."
I found myself thinking bout Renzo .
Did Drew really neglect his son?Dismissing the thought I focused on Ed looking at me expectantly."I'm so sorry Ed .You just have to find someone else. I can't come ."
What was with rich people and parties?
"Why not?" He sounded disappointed and angry.
"Because I hate parties."
Because I can't break my rules .Not to mingle with any human unless the need demands was my very first one.
"Just tonight .Please ?"
"Why me ? Why not someone else ? Don't you have a girlfriend?" I reasoned.
"I broke up with her a week ago and there is no way I'm going to my knees for that ...um...girl -" he said and I narrowed my eyes .
Clearly 'girl' wasn't the word he had in mind .
"And I can't show myself with a random unknown girl . She has to belong to my society and look decent enough to be my partner ."
