Falling In Love With Him

5: Coincidence?

Samantha's P.O.V

"Getting fired on the second day of work?" Claire said as she patted my back. I nodded my head in dissapointment. I was ashamed. Because of my careless personality, it led me to this. "Its okay. You know what they say, thirds time the charm!"
"Jesus Claire, do you really think that's true?" "Yes well, I haven't tried it before, but I think it works" Claire said as she winked at me. I smiled at her and wiped my tears with a tissue. With that, I left Claire's house and made my way to my apartment. I walked the streets for a while and I arrived. I opened my purse and grabbed the key. Unlocking it, I went inside.

I took off my heels and gosh, my foot! I think its swollen...Dang it! I shouldn't have wore those stupid heels! I was frustrated and disappointed. I sighed and slouched down on the couch. I took out my phone and scrolled on my timeline. My friends were posting all kinds of stuff that I couldn't ever do. Like, "Today, I got a promotion!", "Getting married!" Envy was all over me. I sighed and ran a hand in my hair. I shook my head "Forget it." After a while, I fell into a daze.

I wake up to a sound of buzzing. Is someone calling me? I slowly opened my eyes and yawned. I rubbed my eyes to make the feeling of sleepiness to dissapear. I grabbed my phone and answered the call. "Hello?" "Hey, Sam. Its me, Claire" Oh, its Claire. "Hey, what's up?" I say as I stand up from the couch. "I was wondering if you wanted to join for a business party?" I hesitantly said yes since I had nothing to do anyways "Okay! I'll pick you up at 7:00 p.m sharp" And the call ended. I went inside the bathroom and let down my hair. I got the make up from my purse and applied light makeup on my face.

I prefer light makeup because it makes my face look natural. After putting the last touches to my makeup, I went to my bedroom and opened the closet. I look through my dresses and one dress caught my eye. I grabbed it and put it on. It was a red dress with a slit at the side. It was perfect. I curled my hair and put on some golden earrings. Feeling satisfied about my look, I exited the apartment. While waiting for Claire to pick me up, I took a couple of selfies. Out of nowhere, a voice said "Looks like somebody's taking their time at admiring their looks." I looked away from my phone and saw Claire. "Come on silly! We're going to be late!" I nodded my head and went inside the car and sat down.

I got out of the car and admired the sight in front of me. It was a mansion. I pinched myself to check if I was dreaming and to my surprise, I wasn't.
It was a breathtaking sight though. I only see these in the television but I never thought I could be able to go inside a mansion. Claire got out of the car and grabbed my hand and led me inside. The room was packed with people in fancy clothing, much more expensive than mine. Claire let go of my hand and told me to have fun. And so I did. I went to the table with different kinds of dishes lined up. I picked up the one that was appetizing to me the most. I took a bite and I was impressed. It was so delicious.

I spent the next few minutes eating at the table. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw that it was Claire. "Looks like you're enjoying this, huh?" she said as she gave me a smile. I chuckled. "Yeah, anyways could you accompany me to meet some business friends of mine?" "Okay, sure" I said as she took my hand and led me to a tall looking man. He was wearing a black tux and he had brown hair. He was talking to what I could assume his friend. As we got closer, I find his friends face familiar but I couldn't point it out. Claire walked up to the brown haired guy and introduced me to him. "Hello James, I would like you to meet my friend, Samantha" "Hi, I'm james." Oh, so he was the one I saw in magazines all the time? Nice. I gave him a smile and said "Nice to meet you, James" James nodded as a reply.

Claire left me again and told me to hang out with James or whatever. I turn my head to look at the man beside him. His face....No way...It's Eisuke! Eisuke glared at me "What brings you here?" He said in a annoying tone of voice. I glared at him back and said "Mind your own business mister" Eisuke stepped closer to me and he whispered in my ear "It is my business. And you better stay your pretty face out my face or else..." and with that, he walked away with a James, confused.
