Reese***

Rickel came over to the bar and ordered a drink. "Why are you wearing that?" He asked. "I know you're not a gold digger but did you have to choose such a cheap dress? Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?"

"It wasn't.......I didn't...."

"It's ok." He cut me off. "Please do enjoy the party. I have to go socialize. I don't want my staff to still think I don't care about them." He left me standing at the bar and disappeared into the crowd of bodies.

I felt alien among these people. Everyone here seemed to be high ranked and I'm just a maid.

I got a glass of champagne and wandered around until I found a seat in a quiet, dimly lit corner.

Perfect.

I can just read a story to pass time until Rickel decides it's time to go home.

I was at chapter eight of the book  It started with lake by Valencia_93_ when I heard someone clear their throat.

"Pardon me, but why is a beautiful girl such as yourself sitting alone? Is this party that boring?"

"I just need some quiet time." I returned my focus to my phone screen but he was persistent.

"Are you sure you don't want to take a spin on the dance floor? You look like a good dancer."

"I'm not in the dancing mood."

He continued annoying me. "Oh come on. You look too sexy to be sitting by yourself."

"Are you deaf?!" My voice was way too high. "Why don't you go torment someone else?"

His eyes widened then a smirk covered his face. "I love when sexy women get riled up. It turns me on so much."

He licked his lips and looked at me seductively. My stomach felt upset. Why do these disgusting guys always pick on me? What? Do I have a special mark on me or something?

I stood up to walk away and he grabbed me. "Come on. Get upset at me some more."

"Take your hands off her!"

He instantly let me go and apologized to the man. "I'm sorry. I didn't know she was taken."

I turned around to see who my knight in shining armor was.

"Hi. I'm Tavarie." He stretched out his hand for me to shake. "Let me apologize for Peter's behavior. He gets a little carried away when he has alcohol in his system."

"He's such a dick!" I shook his hand. "I'm Reese."

Tavarie smiled at me. "Well Reese, you look beautiful tonight."   

"Thanks?"

"That's Ok Miss Reese, enjoy the rest of your evening and if you need to friendly face to talk to, I'll be right over there." He smiled at me again and started walking over to some lounge seats at the other corner of the room.

A part of me wanted to just follow him and continue our easy going conversation but the other side of me wanted to remain loyal to Rickel. He was the one who invited me here. I didn't want to disrespect him in his own place of business. I know he might get upset if he sees me talking to another guy.

Men and their damn ego!

I searched the room trying to find Rickel but I gave up when the drinks I had started taking effect. I ran to the nearest bathroom I could find.
