Who's Going To Take The L - DRAFT COPY NOT EDITED

Chapter 13 - The Rich Restaurant

It's the day before the event and I'm so behind. Sienna hasn't even bothered to contact me since the meeting we had, so I have no idea if everything is going in the right direction. That's not even the worse of it, Gabriel has had a lot of out of office work that I've hardly seen him. I'm not complaining after what happened in his office I'm not sure how I should approach him. It's weird because I'm thinking about him more and more. I miss his embrace and his touch, even his snarky rude remarks. No I don't like him, well I'm not too sure anymore. There's just still so much that I don't know about him. Like how he always seems to know everything, how he's always so calm and collected except for when he's on the verge of losing his cool and has to storm off to his weird creepy white room. I also still have no clue as to why that's there. There's so much to him its impossible to keep up, the good thing is that he's not coming back to the office for the day so its the perfect time to snoop again. Hopefully this time I find something interesting.

I've looked through every nook and cranny in this stupid office. Why can't I find anything, I've even looked through all the filing cabinets and you never believe what was in there, yes files and more files. I guess I can go back into the weird white room. If anything that's where he loses his cool, I'm sure there must be something dark and dirty hidden beneath all that clean white. I'm not going to lie, I'm scared and I know even if I do find something it will be my fault. You know what they say if you go looking for trouble you will find it.

Slowly but surely I make my way over to the white room. It's just a room Angel, yes sure its an all-white room but that's normal right. Yeah Angel only in a mental institution. Just take some deep breaths and go for it. Taking my sweet time I steadily reach my hand out getting ready to turn the handle when Becky comes in the room. "What are you doing, the venue called and said the decoration arrived early and they have nowhere to put it." No no no, why have the decorations arrived today, honestly I can not wait for this event to be over. "Thanks Becky I'll get back to them straight away." Hopefully that turns her attention from what she nearly caught me doing.

Finally I got all the mess sorted out at the venue. After begging for them to help me sort it out, I realize that all I had to do was play the rich card. Yes we all know I'm not rich but Gabriel and Sienna are. All I had to tell them was find a place or I'll cancel one of the biggest events the venue has ever had, plus I'll make sure Gabriel tells all his rich partners. I know, not the best thing to do but it worked ok. Even if I had to use a little blackmail. Now I can get ready to go shopping. Gabriel has given me the company card as he says this cover expenses, you know what that means. I'm going to shop til I drop.

"No that dress is covering you up to much, you trying to look like a nun." Yes of course Layla would think any floor-length gown is covering yourself up too much. "Come on Layla it's tightly fitted and is one shoulder. What nun is going out like that? Plus didn't you say all nuns are secretly freaky." All the other girls have jobs ok, Layla is the only one with all the free time. I don't even know what she does with herself, maybe we should get her a job. " Yes they are all freaky, that's why all the girls that go to catholic high schools are all sluts." Looks who's bloody talking. "Ohh now it all makes sense your primary school was a catholic school, now shut up and help me choose a work-appropriate dress."

We did it after hours of shopping, we were able to find a dress, a pair of shoes, and some accessories. When I said I wanted to shop until I drop I wasn't being serious but the fact that I and Layla have such different views meant we were battling about what stupid dress to wear for hours. She made it clear that I need a dress to impress Gabriel, she asked me what his favorite color is. How the hell was I meant to know that? After telling her I had no clue she started texting on her phone and then literally two minutes later it was only red dresses moving forward. So I'm guessing Gabriel's favorite color is red. How she found that out so fast is beyond me.
