“Brian… Hello? Don’t leave me hanging here…” Said Ariana as she heard her friend greet someone on the other side of the line and leave her waiting for a few seconds

“Sorry sorry… So… Tonight… I think we’ve got everything covered for dinner”

“Call me if you need me to bring anything...”

“Oh I think I know what you could bring” He said

“Ok, let’s have it…”

“Tequila” Said Brian

“Tequila… Hmm… Are we doing shots? ‘Cause you know I’m more of a cocktail kind of girl”

“I know… We’re having margaritas… Just for you”

“Oh thank you… I’m flattered” Said Ariana

“You should be”

“Do you know if John has the movies already?” She asked

“He said he did… He better because…”

“Wait!” She interrupted him when the intercom in the kitchen buzzed loudly “It’s the intercom, hold on”

She walked over to the phone on the wall and picked it up while she left her phone on the kitchen counter.

“Hello?”

“Hi Miss…” Said Henry, one of the security guards on the front gate

“Hey Henry… How are you? How can I help you?” She asked

“Miss, there’s a man here to see you…” He said

“A man? Who?” She asked

“One of Mr. Payne’s managers to be precise… His name is Richard”

“But I’m not expecting anyone…” Said Ariana thinking back to the moment where Liam had left the house, but she clearly remembered saying he and the rest of the lads had a meeting with his management team “Are you sure it’s one of Liam’s managers? Have you met him before?” She asked

“Yes ma’am… I’ve seen him come to the complex quite a few times” Replied Henry

“Well… I suppose you should let him in then…” Said Ariana, feeling a bit nervous

“I will Miss… He’ll be at your door in no time…” Said Henry before hanging up

“Hey Boo… I’m gonna have to hang up…” Said Ariana picking up her phone

“What was that about?” Asked Brian

“I don’t know… One of Liam’s managers is here… I’m going to see what he wants and call you back”

“Yeah ok… Call me”

“I will… Talk soon” She said hanging up as she heard a car pulling up outside of the house

She headed to the front door and opening before the man even had a chance to ring the doorbell, standing straight as she waited for him to get out of the car and walk up to her.

She felt nervous but she couldn’t exactly tell why. Perhaps it was because she had never met the man, or because he was showing up unannounced after he was supposed to be at a meeting with her boyfriend.

“Good morning Miss Garcia… I’m Richard Mills” He said stretching his hand out for her to shake

“Hi… Good morning… How are you?” She asked shaking his hand

“I’m pretty good, how about yourself?”

“Well… Good… A little surprised to see you here but… Come on in… How can I help you?”
