Delilah

It was a beautiful night, but also a busy one. I was glad Quinn came with mr. Taylor, so I didn't had to be serious all night. Usually mr. Taylor wanted me to speak with some high enterprises, tell them what our plans are and how we want them to come true. I didn't know half of it, but mr. Taylor supported me whenever I was stuck with my words.

We were dancing in the ball room, since mr. Taylor insisted on it. I guess he always had a thing for me, but he wasn't really my type and it would make work really awkward.

"What did you think of tonight?" Mr. Taylor mumbled in my ear as we were slow dancing to some kind of slow song. I gave him a small smile as I softly shrugged my shoulders.

"I really needed this, to go out of that house I'm in. And I also enjoyed meeting our partners." I told mr. Taylor and I knew he liked my answer.

"Tell me, will you stay long here?" Mr. Taylor asked and I saw a slight bit of disappointment in his eyes. I was quite shocked by his question because I didn't know the answer to it.

"I don't know... These two boys used to be my best friends before I met Quinn. There father passed away recently, and he was kind of my father too if that sounds reasonable?" I told mr. Taylor as I laughed it a bit off. Mr. Taylor stretched his arm and swirled me around. I laughed at him before he caught me again.

"I will let you take your time, as long as you do your work from here." Mr. Taylor said as he had a huge smile on his face. I slowly nodded at him as I saw how Quinn bumped into mr. Taylor.

"Oh, Taylor! I'm so sorry!" Quinn said before she turned around. Mr. Taylor and I turned towards her and I saw her dancing with Ethan. My eyes widened and by mr. Taylors grip on my hip I could feel he was shocked too.

"What is this?" Mr. Taylor asked as he pointed towards Ethan. We all knew Ethan didn't belong to this business party, and if Ethan was here that meant Grayson was here as well.

"I'll handle this." I said as I let go of mr. Taylor's grip. I grabbed Ethan by his arm and dragged him towards the yard. On our way there I grabbed a glass of wine and drank it all at once.

"Hey, go easy on that." I heard Grayson say when we stood in the yard. I turned around to face him and let go of Ethan's arm.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" I hissed to Grayson, trying to talk as soft as I can so no one heard me. My blood was boiling and I was getting furious.

"Checking up on you." Grayson said as I saw how he loosened up. I let out a frustrated sigh as I looked around me desperately.

"You can't be here! I don't need a babysitter! You are not the one anymore who can look out for me!" I said in anger and as soon as I realized what I said I felt sorrow immediately. I shouldn't have said that... I saw how Grayson's eyebrows raised at my words and I saw how Ethan ran a hand through his hair.

"Fine," Grayson said before he turned around and was about to walk away. "I see I'm not the only one who has changed." Grayson said and he eventually walked away. I stood there defeated, and frozen to the ground.

"I can't defend you on this one... Delilah..." Ethan said before he walked away too. I watched as he disappeared from my view. My sight got blurry as the tears formed in my eyes. I felt a hand on my arm and as I looked up I saw it was Quinn.

"Are you ok?.." Quinn asked as she must have seen how defeated I was. I slowly shook my head at her as she hugged me tightly. "I don't want to rush you, but there is paparazzi who wants to talk to you and Taylor." Quinn mumbled in my ear before she let go of the hug. I slowly nodded at her as I winked a few times to make my tears go away.

"Let's go then." I said before I walked back inside. I looked for mr. Taylor and when Is aw him I saw he talked to one of our partners. I slowly walked over to them and as soon as he saw me he immediately talked about me.

"There is my best choice I have ever made." Mr. Taylor said to our partner and I laughed at him. I felt my cheeks turning red before I grabbed another glass of wine. "Come on, we gotta go, love. We have important people to talk to." Mr. Taylor said as he grabbed the glass out of my hands and put it back on the table. I felt his hand on my back before we slowly walked out of the mansion. Camera's flashed right away and I tried not to hide my face with my hands.

"Mr. Taylor! Mrs. Scott!" We heard right away from the paparazzi. As we came closer a few camera's stopped flashing. "Can you tell us some of your plans?" Someone asked and I looked immediately towards mr. Taylor.

"Not yet, but all I can say it's going worldwide." Mr. Taylor answered and I tried not to look surprised. I man, I knew a bit of his plans but not that it would go worldwide!

"There has been a lot of rumours that you and mrs. Scott are dating, can you confirm or deny this?" We heard someone say and my eyes widened this time, this was just too big to hide.

"Mrs. Scott is nothing more then my assistant and a good friend of mine. She and my niece are best friends since I can remember and that's how I met her." Mr. Taylor answered and I smiled at him.

"Mrs. Scott, is this true?"

"Yes, this is true. Mr. Taylor is a good friend but also my boss. I can count on him whether it's about work or not. And Quinn is indeed my best friend, and sometimes it's very hard to remember she's my boss' niece but we make it work." I said as I gave them a small smile.

"It's time to go." Mr. Taylor mumbled softly in my ear. I slowly nodded at him before we walked away towards his car. To my surprise I saw Quinn was already in it, in the driver's seat. Mr. Taylor opened the door for me and I saw camera's flash again. I never dealt with this before and it was all really new for me. As soon as mr. Taylor was also in the car Quinn drove away.

"You did good, Delilah." Mr. Taylor said and I smiled brightly at him. He sat in the back seat, and I looked at Quinn.

"Tell me, where are we heading?" I asked as I saw we didn't drove towards the twin's house.

"We're going out." Quinn said as she focused on the road. My eyes widened as I looked at her.

"Quinn! I don't have anything to wear to go out!" I said immediately and I saw she tried to hide her laugh.

"Why else did you think I came with Taylor? Besides that, I took some clothes with me for you." Quinn said and I let my head fall back as I let out a sigh. This night was far from over.
