His Cinderella

Chapter 4

Welcome to Chapter 4. Hope you like it :^)

---------------------------------------

"Are you enjoying the party?" Flora asked.

"Yeah, definitely. It's great!" I smiled taking another orderv from a passing waiter and stuffing it into my mouth, savoring the taste. "Especially the appertizers." She giggled and went off with one of her friends. I took out my phone to text Kelli that I just spotted Harley Vangurd, a top Victoria's Secret model. Then, someone bumped into me and my phone fell into the punch bowl. I turned around with murderous eyes to see none other than Aaron Rayes.

"What's wrong with you?! Look what you did to my phone. Now I have to get another one!" I got pretty angry.

"Hold your phone tighter next time, ok?" He looked at me like a bratty little girl, because I was acting like one--- throwing tantrums and all.

"Then look where you're going. Ugh! I really hate you! Mannerless jerk!" I folded my arms and started walking away. For some reason, he followed me. I kept walking up until the backyard, due to frustration, and stood there with my arms crossed.

"What do you want from me?" I threw my hands up, exasperated.

"I just want to say I'm sorry. For bumping into you, not for destroying your phone. You're always on it." Did Aaron Rayes, the monster, just say he was sorry?

"Excuse me?" I was shocked out of my mind.

"Huh? I just apologized." He shrugged, his eyes wandering.

"Wow. I guess you're not really a monster after all." I said lowly, so he couldn't hear.

"We'll see." He smirked and left. I guess he did hear me.

My phone is gone and I definitely need to get it replaced thanks to Aaron.

"I guess highschool wasn't so bad for me. I had Kelli and we were both on the soccer team." I told Flora. I had barely seen Aryanne since the party started.

"As for me..." Flora was saying before Aaron interrupted her.

"Pass me an orderv, Flora." He said. Flora took an orderv from a tray on the buffet table and gave it to him. He took it and left. After, I saw him talking to a tall blonde bimbo and laughing. I felt like slapping the flirtatious look on the stupid girl's face. All through the night, I saw how Aaron moved from one female guest to another. Stupid player!

I excused myself to get some fresh air. Aaron was standing in the middle of the garden on the phone. I stood there awkwardly, doing nothing, then he got off the phone.
"LaToya. I was thinking a few minutes ago, I could really use someone to help pick out my clothes. Like a fashion consultant. You'll get paid like triple what you make at LaRosa. And you'll stay at my house, in Manhattan."

"No way." I rolled my eyes.

"Great so... Wait... did you just say 'no way'?" He was shocked as hell.

"Yes. I already have my own business, besides, there's no way I'll ever work for an arrogant casanova like you." I strutted away and I could almost feel him rolling his eyes. Then, I felt a hand grab my forearm.

"No one rejects a job offer from me. Did you hear the salary I just called out? It's a lot of money."

"Well, I'm the first. I don't want your job. I don't want your money. I'm fine the way I am. I'm not an opportunist." I continued walking.

"Fine. Your loss. But, in case you change your mind, here's my card." He handed me a small rectangular card with his details printed on it. I took the card.

"I'll assure you, I won't be needing it." I narrowed my gaze.

"Ok, then. But keep in mind that the job offer is open for as long as you want." He shrugged and left.

Shortest chapter ever right? I know, but I really didn't know what to add next. Anyways, hope you liked it. See you later, XoXo,
