Anita swore dramatically when she caught sight of Jen in her dress, which made Jen giggle.

"You look like a princess," she went on to say. "How much did that dress cost?"

"Wanna see the price tag?" Jen said, raising an eyebrow.

Anita nodded, and Jen went back to her room to get it. She sighed as she looked out over the skyline lights. Today had been so much fun. She hadn't wanted it to end. Yes, she was seeing Maxwell again this evening, but there would be so many people about. Just the two of them hanging out had been amazing. She'd laughed a lot, she'd felt just right in his company, and she'd definitely confirmed to herself that he was as gorgeous in real life as she'd expected, in every sense of the word.

But, he was still really pushing the meeting Rick thing. So, she had to go meet Rick.

"Here you go," she said to Anita as she returned.

"Yeah. I have to meet him at 7. We best get going."

"What do I do for half an hour?"

"Wait in the foyer, I'll text Maxwell and get him to look out for you when you arrive."

"He's going to meet you at 7.20," she relayed to Anita. "Look after him, yeah?"

"You forget, I'm on the lookout for a rich boyfriend tonight," Anita teased.

Jen glared at her, and Anita laughed. Jen knew she wouldn't go there.

They arrived at the hotel, and Jen was immediately escorted to a meeting room on the first floor, where she sat nervously on her own for a moment. She thought about sending a quick message to Maxwell, but decided against it.
