"I don't understand?" Valarie said holding the phone to her ear. "I'm not paying you money for champagne I didn't even get." She giggled with sarcasm. "That's ridiculous. If you think you can charge me for ten bottles of champagne when I only received six," she said into the phone, her voice raising as she spoke with seriousness. "then your head must be to far up your ass for you to hear me clearly."
"Miss. Ellington?" Asked one of the waiters.
She held up her finger meaning one moment as she said, "I'M NOT PAYING FOR CHAMPAGNE I DIDN'T GET!" the slamming her phone on the counter. She smiled as she turned to face one of hired waiter. He gulped and looked to the floor.
"Miss. Ellington, I...I...uh...we...I mean I...er... have...uh," he kept stuttering and it made her cringe. He looked very scared and kept moving his feet, tapping them.
"What's your name?" She asked looking at him, giving him the kindest smile she could muster.
"Neal Gardner, ma'am." He answers
"I...I...-""Spit it out!" She yelled, losing her patients with Neal. He scratched his head and mumbles.
"We have the...uh...four bottles."
Then she places her hand on her hip and takes a deep breath.
"You mean to tell me that you miscounted?" She says, laughing sarcastically."Yes Miss. Ellington ma'am. I...I-"
"Get out." She says looking at him with a forced smile, showing her pearly white teeth.
"Excuse me?" He asks, looking up slowly."Get out of my face, out of my ball room, out of my house, out of my front yard, get out of my gate, my neighborhood get out if Gotham!" She yelled making her voice echo, eyebrows narrowed as the other workers looked at her.
Watched her fire someone."Mr. Camo will escort you out." She said, going back to her sarcastic and forced smile.
Neal Gardner was lead to the door by the muscled gentleman in the suit.
Valarie waved at him with her lips pursed as her phone buzzed notifying her that the guest were to arrive in fifteen minutes and that she wasn't even dressed yet.Eyes of the other workers were still on her and it was quite vexing once she noticed.
"I'm paying all of you to work a party, not stare like you've seen Medusa's eyes!" She said storming off up the stairs.
Valarie took a deep breath and stared at herself in the mirror, Casper looked up once she entered her bedroom.
"Hello there." She smiled, lightly stroking his fur which he loved.
Her gaze ventured off to the side where her dress was.It stood there proudly presented. Along with a pair of shoes that she bought just for the occasion.
Even though light blue wasn't the best of colors, she likes the style of the dress and how much it made her feel at ease when she tried it on at the store.
Casper meowed and she looked at him with a smile.
"Beautiful. Right?" She asks rhetorically.********
Valerie's POV
I can downstairs and everything was set. Exactly how I wanted it and it was perfect. Casper jumped onto the couch and I quickly grabbed him as Patrons began to roll in.
I welcomed them into my home as they payed their respects to me. Some of them made their way over to my families shrine I had put together. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish it without feeling like I owed them more. Luckily I had a few people from work who helped out.
I heard the music begin playing as some danced and others found their tables to eat the prepared food. I sat next to Casper drinking my Pepsi. I felt someone's breath on the back of my neck.
"Nice dress," says the voice in his smooth British accent and I immediately recognize it. "Can I talk you out of it?" I stand to my fears as he chuckles in my ear. A forced smile appears on my face and I sigh.
"Mr. Adz, what a pleasant surprise. Considering I did not invite you." I say with a light laugh at the end.
He licks his dry lips and I folded my arms as Casper runs against my leg.
"I don't know why. I'm a delight." He scoffs with a cocky grin."Leave." She says with a straight face. "Get out of my house."
He grins at me and says, "Why would I do that?"
"You weren't invited which means you are trespassing." I replied
"Like it or not Ellington, you already have the media talking about how you forced yourself on me-"A loud smacking noise was heard and Jace had a red mark on His face from my hand that was still raised. The back of my hand still stinging. My face felt hard and I glared at him.
"Shut up and damn you." I whisper with a voice full of anger. "You and I both know what happened that night and we both know what you did could cost you everything."
He smirked and put his hands behind his back. "Then why didn't you turn me in?" He asks making her insides turn."Mind if I borrow her for a moment?" Ask a voice and I look up with a smile on my face.
"Of course" I say as he holds out his hand for me to take.
I shove my drink into Adz's hand and take a hold of his.He leads me to the dance floor and we begin.
"Thank you so much Mr. Wayne" I say with with smile on my face. "You saved me back there."
He chuckles and I let go of his hand.
"Of course, any time." He smiles as he holds out his hand once again.I give him an apologetic smile and say, "I'm sorry, but I don't dance."
