Olivia and Chloe glanced at themselves, their brows slowly pulled down and in their head they knew they would be kicked out as the two security guards who had blocked their part gazed at them indifferently.‘Was this why you disagreed at first?’ Chloe asked Olivia with her eyes saying the words.‘Yes, this was what I was avoiding,’ Olivia responded with her eyes and glanced at the security guards. ‘But I can’t let this lovely dress go to waste, Lawrence has to see me in them, so leave the guards to me.’Olivia flashed Chloe a smile and Chloe smiled back, trusting her friend, perhaps she has not been to a gathering like this, but Olivia had. ‘Leave this to me.’ Olivia mouthed and turned to the security guards.Raising her chin, she parted her lips to speak. “How dare you both block a lady?” She put on a serious face, glancing at the two of them.“Do you belong to the party?” One asked glancing at their outfit.Olivia scoffed and ran her hand through her hair. “Where else could we belon

Roy walked close to Mr. Asher who was talking to some guest, he bowed slowly in greeting to them before leaning close to whisper on Asher’s ear the words that totally changed his mood and expression for the night.Asher glanced at the men he was interacting with. “Let’s continue this conversation later, I will excuse myself now.” He told them and they nod to him.He turned around and walked away with Roy heading upstairs. “Why is he here, why are they here?” Asher questioned and Roy who was trying his best to keep up answered.“I have no idea they would be on the guest list, they must have made sure they weren’t added in order to make you meet them.” Roy spoke the words and Asher halt.“They aren’t here to speak of that topic, are they?” His brows were pulled together and lowered, his eyes darkened and Roy became scared hoping Asher wouldn’t start by lashing out on him as he was only delivering a message.“I have no idea what they choose to speak with you about, but I am sure that mat

After catching his breath, Asher got to his feet and adjusted his suit, his life has been filled with this kind of trauma, right from his childhood up until now, to everyone he was an outstanding billionaire, but he knew deep down he was still a scared child.Drawing a sharp breath and picked up a glass of wine and walked close to the open window and glanced down at all the perfect people.He never wanted to attend this banquet, but he was here to meet some business men, and possible investors on the new project he was working on, but seeing how everyone seems to be enjoying themselves, he felt like the odd one.Crowd wasn’t his kind of thing, he knew there were rumors going around about him, rumors that he didn’t have a girlfriend, rumors that he is a gay, those rumors were so difficult to bear that he wish to show the world that he has finally fallen in love, but he was betrayed by the lady.He shut his eyes and tried to shake that thought off his head, it was funny that he can have

Olivia scoffed, her eyes filled with tears, her lips parted, and her hand that was raised to her ear lowered to her side, Chloe glanced at Olivia and towards the direction she was staring just in time to see Lawrence and the lady he was holding. “Olivia.” Chloe called out quickly and touched her shoulder and Olivia’s eye lashes darted to Chloe. “Who is that lady?” Olivia questioned, it was the first thing about Lawrence that she didn’t know about, he was a man who she kept close as her best friend, a person who she knew so well down to his best color and his favorite meal. She knew the music Lawrence listens to when he was said, the place he loves going when he is happy, his favorite sports and games, she knew down to a few friends he visit, his colleagues at work too, but this lady was unfamiliar. “She…” Chloe pursed her lips and Katherine’s forehead creased, she could see she was reluctant to tell me who the lady was. “Chloe, what do you know about her?” Olivia asked seeing that

Olivia pressed her lips together, it hurts so much whenever Lawrence scolded her, she had almost forgotten what he had said to her yesterday, and she had rushed over to see him only to get him yell at her this way. “Lawrence I am here to---“ “This place isn’t your place Olivia!” He gritted his teeth shutting her up before she could finish her statement. “You of all persons should think before you act, this place is filled with the rich, if you get caught without an invite, don’t you think you will face terrible consequences?” He scolded her again. This time, tears clustered in Olivia’s eyes, she had come to see him, she knew about the risk, but she came anyways, but now--- “Honey, what is wrong?” The lady who had come with him walked close to Lawrence and linked arms with him immediately she came and Olivia glanced at their arms. “It’s nothing to worry about.” Lawrence quickly flashed her a smile, a smile Olivia noticed he had never shown her since she returned from Hawaii. She c

Olivia walked up to the rooftop with tears in her eyes, everyone had lied to her, they were constantly lying to her, people she thought would tell her the truth was withholding it, it was painful, it was saddening.She hated it here, she wished she had not come back, her parent had told her lies, and were still lying to her face, Chloe and Lawrence knew but didn’t tell her, and just now, she had found out there were more things she didn’t know about.“Ah!” She shouted out in pain as she got to the rail of the rooftop, she felt a great ache in her chest, her breathing became heavy.“Do you need a drink?” A voice asked behind her and she quickly turned, startled by the voice only for her eyes to fall on a young man who stood in the moonlight holding out a bottle of wine to her.She didn’t glance at his face, he looked like a nuisance and she wanted to be left alone. “I don’t want company.” She glanced away from him. “You should read the room.” She added and ignored him.Asher who was up

Asher furrowed his brows, he rubbed his ear as if her sob was nuisance to his ears, scratching the corner of his hair, he glanced at her, but she still covered her face with her palm, yet she wasn’t acting funny.She doesn’t look drunk He thought as he stared at her, there were no staggering movements, he breathes a sigh of relief. I guess she can handle her liquor. That had been the reason he had stayed here and listen to her crap, but now that she was fine, he knew he had to leave.He turned around to leave, walking slowly away from her, but halt when he suddenly heard her stop sobbing, he turned around and his eyes dilated when he watched her about to put her leg on the rail.Asher quickly rushed over, dropping the wine glass as it shattered on the ground, he grabbed the back of her dress and pulled her back and she leaned on his body in a back hug.“Hey! Are you crazy?!” He shouted and pulled her away from his body as he glanced at her face with a frown. “Why would you want to k

Asher got to his feet and looked away from Olivia's face, he had spent enough time listening to her nonsense.He took out his cell phone and dialed Roy's number, placing the phone on his left ear, he glanced away from Olivia."Hello, Mr. Asher." Roy immediately said after answering the call at the first ring."Get Chloe to the rooftop, or whatever this stupid's lady friend is." He gritted his teeth, casting a cold glance at Olivia who was still sipping, feeling very tipsy."Huh?" Roy didn't under what he meant, but Asher didn't repeat himself, rather he ended the call.Roy glanced at the screen of his phone, the call already disconnected, he blinked and looked out of the window from where he stood, glancing around, he spotted Chloe."I should get that woman?" He muttered softly and blinked wondering what Asher was up to, but he knew he had to hurry up and do what he was ordered, he put down his wine glass and turned to leave the room he was in.Chloe walked over to Lawrence who had no

Why aren’t you leaving?” Her jaw was clenched, if she can give anything, then she wouldn’t be sitting here with him, staring at his face, she wouldn’t want to see him either.Asher sipped some water from his glass before looking at her. “Olivia, what exactly do you want?” He leaned close to the table. “You want me gone, but you get sick if I am not around.” He held her gaze, his bright eyes boring into hers.“I told you before, me being in the hospital isn’t because I miss you, it’s because I want to go back to Seattle.” She reminded him again and he groaned, leaning back, he resumed eating without responding to her.“Just tell me when we would go back!” She furrowed her brows and he smirked.“We can’t go back unless you prov
