I walked through the crowd of people trying terribly to disguise the annoying pain of these high heels shoes. I was trying to look for Jennifer, a very pretty blonde with pump-pink lips, and a black tight dress, probably flirting with some model she tells she wanted to take her chance at this party.

I laughed at that tough of how reckless and naive she was, in all honesty, I understood her side trying to live a little she wasn't a one-term relationship kind of girl so she had her fun plus she had a very beautiful list of handsome men in this party.

I was here in business though alongside my partner and best friend, Jeniffer who seemed to have forgotten that specific fact. After Chanel's fashion show we came to the after-party my main goal was to make reliably associated partnerships with fashion experts. I had created a small business with all the financial help from my dad who helped the short small business to grow right now I was trying to look for interesting fashion freaks who were willing to take a shot at a new fashion designer who wanted to start a business, all support was needed and I needed to show people the fashion receipt of this new designer in town.

Whenever I am investing in a business I do like to know what I am getting into, I evaluated the job and I honestly see so much potential the only thing I need is to disclose the pieces with the right people the rest is easy.

"Ellie?" I heard my name from afar a feminine figure appeared in my front, I tried to decipher who that was but the lights and the dim light didn't help. Suddenly I felt a tight embrace and a pitched voice in my ear "oh I haven't seen you in years"

"Charlotte" I smiled back at the smiley woman holding me. She was shorter holding me down to her height she then grabbed my face analyzing it carefully I could see her face quite close, although she was around 60's going on 70's she looked good may be due to the surgeries but her wrinkles were barely seen and her teeth seem whiter than 3 years ago which was the last time I've seen her.

She was a famous French rich lady fanatical over fashion, her money comes from her husband which is a very busy man his way to compensate her is by letting her use her credit card. She is happy, he is happy best of both worlds I guess.

"Oh cherrie you look so beautiful I love your dress! Are you still in college?"

"Thanks. Oh I finished it already "

"Oh, that's great for you. What are you doing here?"

"I'm on business trying to show some work of a new designer" I said rather loudly due to the music

"Oh I loved to see it please show it to me" she said happily

"I'm wearing it now" I let out a slight laugh due to her comment on my dress

"Oh, unbelievable I love it!"

"I have more" I said taking my phone and showing her some pictures

"Oh beautiful so sexy and so passionate I love it who is she?"

I let a sarcastic sigh leave my lips, which I think she didn't realize "It's a he in fact, Andre Allegre"

"Oh... Fantastique! I need to know all of his work send me the details " she shouted in a very French accent

"I sure will Charlotte, thanks" I smiled at her interest "he needs all the help he can, he wants to open his first shop"

"Trés bien! I think he has a very bright future in front of him! Oh I need that fur coat, send me one of that!" she said grabbing my phone

I smiled passing her clingy yet regular behavior  "I will Charlotte don't worry"

"Great honey! Oh oh! They are about the serve the long drink I need a mimosa right away !" she squealed in joy, she grabbed me and gave me two kisses on either cheek very fast I must add "au revoir cherrie I will see you around"

She disappeared in a flash well at least this wasn't in vain I have gathered quite some now, and adding Charlotte will make 17 new possible investors. I need to find Jeniffer.

I walked through the party searching near the bar counters, in the middle of the dance floors till I reached the VIP zone full of pink and purple soft couches, my eyes travel around searching for a blonde, which happened to be a lot and that was not helping me.

Till I hear a high-pitched laugh my eyes followed the sound founding my blonde friend, which was between two very manly men, can I say it like that? They looked like two weird copies of younger vin diesel which scared the shit out of me, I don't understand her taste in man.

"Jennifer" I shouted catching the security guard's attention

"Miss do you have the VIP entry card ?" the big tattoed man asked me

"No" I said in an obvious tone "I need my friend she is there" I pointed

"You don't have the card I can't help you"

"Are you serious?" I asked dumbfounded, he could just call her and help. I took a deep breath and called her name again but it was no use

"Need help?" a soft voice asked in my ear, I took a look at the owner to find myself in front of a model type of man. He had perfect Pantene hair and deep ocean-blue eyes. I inclined my head analyzing his face, he had clean skin, cleaner than mine and his eyelashes made me jealous, he gave me a soft smile showing his dimples.

This one just got out of Vogue magazine. Looked like Ken himself but in the most possible human way, in a positive spectrum I mean. He didn't look like a total doll but certainly had perfect features making him quite speaking to the eye but somehow I was finding it hard to debate if he was attractive or not.

"I don't need help. I need her to listen to me"

"I can help with that" giving me a teethed smile and showing me a golden card with back VIP letters on it I frowned at this stranger's kind gesture yet I shrugged that off and accepted his help. 

"Oh thanks" I gave him a smile he grabbed my hand without any warning and we passed through the big guard while he kept showing his card with a smug smile on. He guided me to Jeniffer carefully telling me to watch out for the wet glassy floor.

"There she is" he said smiling.

"Thank you so much" I breathed in relief seeing how close I was to her

"It wasn't nothing. I love to help a lady in distress" his word came out in a weird out and I cringed internally at that, I didn't have the time to give him a proper response to what he just said to me. I simply reciprocated with a smile and turned around to Jennifer she greeted me happily.

"Ella!!! You're here! I was just talking about you" she spoke between laughs

"Really?"

"These two hotties have been telling me they love Jacques's clothes" I smiled at her statement at least she remembered her job even with a breath full of alcohol

I looked up at the gorilla men to only see them smiling "She's a very fun girl" one of them commented

"Yes I guess so" I let out a worried laugh "It's time for us to go" I informed her

"No!! Jenny wants to stay!" she pouted "pretty please " she gave little jumps while her hands were together begging me to stay I rolled my eyes realizing how drunk she was

"C'mon let's go Jennifer " I demanded holding her hand she pouted again and let my hand go only to give a big hug to both big guys. Jenny was a social butterfly in her normal self when she was drunk it was even worse she would get attached to people way too quickly that's why her contact list is so large yet she only knows who 30 people are from the 200 she has.

I grabbed her sloppy self and carried her through the bar she kept on saying goodbye to every person we would smack into, turns outs she knew almost half of the population at the party, this the girl will have so much regret in the morning.

We got out to spring weather it wasn't that hot or cold, but the sun was shining making it hard to get used to the bright sunlight since we were in such a darker place.

"Oh my eyes my skin I'm burning Ell" Jenny held onto me crying out

"It's just sun Jenny don't be dramatic" I laughed, we were waiting for the employee to give me my car as well my car keys meanwhile Jenny started babbling

"I was waiting to find the hottest bachelor in the whole county" she glared at nothingness

"Don't you mean country?" I laughed, she sat on the floor upset

"Whatever, he was supposed to be her hottest man on earth and mars "

"Is it not too difficult to be the hottest on mars" I declared looking at her baby but cute behavior

"What?"

"Well he is the only one on Mars, so that makes it easier plus I didn't know you were into astronauts " I teased her

"I'm not I'm into wealthy and hot guys" she played down on the floor and looked at the sky she then turned to me with a visible pout own "When will I get my rich and hot husband Ella?"

"When you get some sense and responsibility into that head of yours"

"You're so mean" she notified me while getting up "I will find my one and only you'll see"

"I hope you do" I said I saw my car getting closer and the employee gave me the keys once he got out of the car
"Thank you" I said kindly to that man he replied with a warm smile and a nodded

"What was his name ?" I heard Jennifer ask not to anyone in specific but to herself

" who's name ?" I asked getting in the car

"The bachelor"

"I don't know I don't read magazines as much as you" I shrugged starting the engine we drove till her house which was very close she kept babbling names

"Marck...Fell? Michael? De Bell? Mikael? "

I kept laughing at her tries and helped her get out of the car by the time the doorman saw my struggle and came to help me. "Good Afternoon Mrs. Elleonora"

I mentally laughed at the name, Gustav never forgot the countless times I've told him to treat me not that formally he usually would say my last name and I truly hated it since I knew him.for so long since Jenny and I moved here in our first college years, after college ended she kept the house and I went back to my parents and I'm trying to save money to buy my own house.

"Good afternoon Gustav"

"Was a funny day I see" he said carrying Jennifer with his arm

"Yes" I laughed watching her sloppy figure "I guess so. Tell me when she gets sober"

"Sure miss" he smiled while Jennifer was welcoming everyone in the reception

"Thanks Gustav" I got in my car again and drove away ready to get home but my mom called before I started the engine

"Hey mom"

"Darling? Eleanor is it you?" she asked in sleepy voice. I can't believe this she called me and she asking if it's me? Oh please not again.

"Yes mom"

"Your father needs to talk to you"

"about?"

"Some minor problems at the company, simple stuff I guess he was quite worried but I didn't catch up all that he said" I heard her slight laughs

"Of course you didn't mom. Have you been drinking, again?" I asked frustrated, emphasizing the word again.

"I may have drank a few margaritas honey but that's not the case"

I rolled my eyes, my mom hasn't been having a easy life yet she can't just discharge her problems in alcohol.

"The thing is your father seemed rather concerned about the company and bla bla bla" she gave a small laugh " the usual you know, in fact that's the only thing he ever cared about. Whatever, what do my feelings matter in here, right?" she laughed again making me breathe in agony hearing my mom like that made my heart ache " My job was to tell you how very needed you are. Call you're dad or something"

"Is it too serious? What happened ?"

"Something evolving money as always"

"Ok I will call him then"

"Great. My work here is done. Ta-ta"

"Bye mom. Please stop drinking and do something -" I tried to say but the call dropped

"Amazing my mom just hang up on my face " I smiled through the pain and decided to call my dad
