Chapter 13.

I was stressing over what to wear. Events like these are really fancy and I'm not exactly a fancy person. I didn't know what to wear. I'm having a crisis here, and where is my girl friend who can help me with this? Hanging out with Andrew. Yup. Naomi ditched me for Andrew. Great friends they are.

As I continued rummaging through my closet for anything that looked suitable for the event, an annoying voice yelled from downstairs.

"HONEY!!! I'M HOOOMMMEEEE" Andrew's voice clearly filled the house. Naomi's faint giggle could be heard.

"V!!! COME DOWN!!!" Naomi yelled

"WE HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOUUUUUU" Drew yells

I walk downstairs and found Drew and Naomi at the end of the stairs with a big smile. I look at them in confusion

"What's with the smile?" I ask cautiously

"Okay. So we know you probably don't have anything to wear for the event." Andrew starts

"So...we went out and bought you one!!!" Naomi finishes. My eyes widen to the size of saucers.

"Andrew please don't tell me..."

"Okay! I won't!!" He happily says

"Drew thought you'd react like this. Seriously V, just take the dress and that's all you'll have to do to repay him" Naomi says

"She knows me so well" Drew grins while putting his arm around her waist. Naomi blushes and looks down. I take this opportunity to send a teasing to wink Drew. He blushes too, and shoos me to put on the dress.

I rushed upstairs to check out the dress. When I pulled it out, I couldn't help but gasp at how gorgeous it is. It was so beautiful and probably so expensive. I really didn't like it when Drew spoiled me,but no matter what I did, he would never stop.

I hurriedly put on the dress, noticing I have only 1 hour left to get ready. I curled my hair into soft bouncy waves, and put on some makeup. I made sure not to overdo it with the makeup. I slipped on some white open toned heels, and started to prepare my purse. By the time I finished, I was all ready and dressed. The sound of a honk made me realize that Daniel was already outside.

I walked downstairs carefully. I didn't want to trip. Andrew fake sniffles and pulls me closer.

"Oh my baby sister. You look so gorgeous and beautiful. You've become such ana amzig woman." He sniffles again

"Aww thanks Drew. Now let me go. We might be late." I say trying to pull away from him. He sighs and lets me go

"Fine...take care little sis. Love you!!!" He calls out as I walked out the house

"Love you too Drew!!Don't fuck on my bed and use protection!!" I call out to him too.

"FUCK YOU!!!" He yells

"Not interested. have Naomi for that anyways!!" I turn around and smirk at him

"Bitch!!!"

The driver watches us in shock and amusement. I smile kindly at him as he opens the door to the limo for me. Daniel is already seated there, talking on the phone with someone. He looked really stress. Oliver was there too with a beautiful woman.

"Hey Verdana!!!" Oliver smiles

"Hey Oli" I smile back

"Oh dear lord." The woman gasps at the sight of me. She then hits Oliver in the head, making him whine.

"You didn't tell me she was THIS pretty" she says

"Well I mean she isn't as pretty as you" Oliver shrugs

"Are you kidding?!?! She's fuckin gorgeous!!!" The woman says

"Hi! Are you a model?" The woman suddenly asks me

"No" I laugh at the thought of me as a model

"Well you're so pretty." She says

"Thank you! But Oliver is right, I'm not as pretty as you." I say

"Bullshit. You are so so so pretty." She says

"I agree with Natalie." Daniel buts in the conversation

"Is she your date tonight Daniel?" The woman, who I assume is Natalie, asks Daniel

"Yup!" Daniel says proudly

"We're going as friends" I insert. Daniel's smile seems to deflate but I choose to ignore it.

"Oh...well then. My name's Natalie!! So very nice to meet you." She says as she extends a hand.

"Nice to meet you too!! Are you Oliver's girlfriend?" I ask. This question makes her eyes widen and cheeks faintly blush. It wasn't all that noticeable though with her makeup.

"No of course not!!! No no no no no. I'm their personal assistant." She says

"For both of them?!" I ask in shock

"Yeah...it's not that hard actually." She says

"Hmmm...but are you Oliver's date tonight?" I ask.

"Nope!! No. No. Sir Oliver and I are not...together in any way. He is just my boss. Nothing more, Nothing less." She says. I glance at Oliver,and saw that he looked quite dissapointed. Ahhh they're in the denial stage.

"Okay then..."

We soon arrive at the event. I felt nervous as paparazzi started crowding us. They were trying to take pictures of the hottest bachelor in London, Daniel. Daniel noticed my nerves and grabbed my hand in his. He squeezed it to try and give me comfort. I smiled lightly at him.

After making our way through the paparazzi storm with the help of the Bodyguards. We finally made it inside. The place was full of fancy looking people. Men in expensive suits. Women in expensive dresses. I've never been to a place like this before...

"Relax, V." Daniel comforts me

"Daniel...a girl like me does not belong in a place like this" I mumble

"I know what'll help." He grabs two glasses of champagne and hands one to me. I raise my eyebrows at him, but take the drink. He clinks our glasses and takes a sip of his. I follow his lead and take a sip of the delicious expensive alcohol.

"Delicious." I say. He smiles and agrees with me. We sat down and continued to drink and chat for a while. There were times where we stood up and talk to some people, but overall we spent our time together.

"Would you care to dance, Mademoiselle?"Daniel says as he stands up and lends me his hand

"J'aimerais bien" I take his hand in mine

"You speak fluent french?" He looks at me wtih wide eyes

"I speak many other languages. Some hackers don't speak english." I shrug

"How did you get into that business? It's quite a strange job" He asks

"Well it started in the early years of college. At first I wanted to be a mechanical engineer, but then I was introduced to computers and coding. I got hooked. I took up I.T. and a classmate of mine taught me more about hacking and tracking. One day, we saw on the news that a businessman had the same problem as you. We tracked down the hacker, who was very pathetic in covering up his steps by thw way,and brought him to the police. We returned the money back  to the businessman and he rewarded us with tons of cash. That news went viral and soon we had many rich people asking us for help because they've been robbed. If it wasn't that,the FBI needed help tracking some criminal down or help with some Cyber Crime. By the time we graduated college, we already made a job for ourselves and enough money to last a long time."

I finished the long explanation. My mind had a lovely trip down memory lane. When I looked up,Daniel was staring at me with a fond smile.

"What is it?" I ask

"I just love listening to you talk. You have a very soothing voice." He smiles. I couldn't stop the blush that crept up my cheek.

"Thanks...you kniw you've gotten better in dancing." I say. To prove my point, he spins me around without even breaking his stare from my face.

"I had some practice. You're still an amazing dancer as always. Dare I say,you've even better." He says

"Thank you." I smile

I stared into his eyes, never breaking eye contact. My arms wrap around his neck. He slowly dips me down as the song comes to an end. He pulls me back, still not breaking eye contact. I felt him move closer and closer. He stopped though, once people started clapping all around us. We moved awsy from each other and smiled at the people around us. Some girls were giving me the stink eye, and some guys were looking at me hungrily. I shuddered at that thought. Daniel pulled me back to sit down.

"You were amazing out there." I commend him

"Well I had an amazing partner" He shrugs. I smile at him. Looking down, I noticed our hands were still intertwined. I let it happen, and just sat down drinking my champagne.

I spotted a familiar face in the crowd. It was the girl from the other day. The one who I completely roasted and dragged out of Daniel's office. A sudden thought came into my head which made me burst into giggles. Daniel looks at me in confusion

"Oh my gosh. I saw the girl from the other day" I say throughtl my giggles

"And-and she looks like Courtney. The girl in my old job at the restaurant? Remember her?"

Daniel's eyes widen in realization. Him and I burst into a fit of laughter. I was clutching my stomach for it was in pain from all the laughter.

"Oh my gosh. I just now realized that!!!" He says

"And she dresses like Julie!!!" He says in realization. This sends us to another fit of laughter.

The two of us kept sharing jokes and reminiscing old memories. All the while we drank our drinks. Daniel had way more than me.

I used to think that the rich and fancy don't get drunk. Daniel proved me wrong that night after he had way too much drinks.
