Gold and black decorations were everywhere. From table covers to streamers and balloons hanging from the ceiling. Girls dressed as flappers carried drinks and food on trays. It wasn't really a dinner party, more of a social gathering for all the big company owners. A time to get money from others and investments.
I looked around, finally settling my eyes on the big man coming towards me. His gray beard and warm eyes coming in view. George put his hand out and shook mine.
"Ms.Salvator, how are you today?"
"Hi George, i'm doing fine. How's the wife?"
"The usual, always in my wallet" He threw his head back and laughed
"Harry this is my boss, George" I turned alittle, letting Harry closer
They shook hands and nodded towards eachother.
"Hi Harry, Hey little Belle!"
"Nice to meet you George" Harry Smiled
"Well I have some people to meet, please Jessica find me some investments!"
I hugged him as he turned and left towards the crowd of people. Harry excused himself for a drink soon after, leaving Belle and I. Well I guess I'll find some people to invest in.
-An Hour Later-
Harry's POV
I searched the room looking for Jessica. I couldn't find her or see Belle. I held a few client cards in my hand, proud of myself for finding potential investors for Jess. Finally I found Belle's smile, Jess holding her on her hip still. I pushed through the crowd, trying to get towards them.
Belle started to grab at me the closer I got . Jess turned to see what Belle wanted and saw me. Her smile grew as did Belle's.
"Hi baby!" I gave her a quick kiss on the lips.
"Where'd you go?"
"Well I went for a drink, but then I got lost. So I talked to other people and found you some potential investors" I pulled out the cards and handed her the numbers
"You got Gucci!" She stared at me , mouth open
"I just talked to people who look fancy and got their number when they said high amounts of numbers" I shrugged
She pulled my towards her lips, Belle laughing. I guess I did a good job
"What time do we gotta meet everyone for drinks?"
He looked at his black watch before back at me.
"In an hour, wanna go ahead and leave?"
"Yes!"
We headed for the door, trying to make the least amount of distraction. If anyone noticed they would surly ask us to stay longer. We made it out the front door , slowing down our footsteps. I set Belle down, letting her walk next to me. Our truck came around the corner, parking in front of us. The boy tossed Harry his keys. I put Belle in her car seat, getting in the passenger seat.
When we arrived home, Harry grabbed Belle from the car. I unlocked the house and held the door open for Belle.
"My mom is on her way to grab Belle"
Harry nodded and walked up the stairs behind me. I turned into Belle's room was he went into our bedroom. Belle sat on the floor as I packed her some clothes for tomorrow. She started putting toys in her bag. I took the fancy clothes off her and set them next to me. She stepped into her gold pj shorts, a big white t-shirt to match.
