CHAPTER FIVE

“ So how did it go ?” Sally excitedly asked . Alicia eyed her wearily “pretty random interaction, I saw someone I met at the apartment today ”

“ Huh ?” Sally screamed over the music which blared loudly

“ At this point I'm ready to leave and go home ”. The attendant from earlier appeared once more , “ there is a driver outside waiting to take you home ma'am”.  Was the man eaves dropping ?.

“ Ermm thanks but I'll rather find my way home ”. Panic set in the eyes of the attendant“ ma'am this is my bosses order and he doesn't take kindly to unfulfilled duties ”.

Alicia wanted to ignore the guy but she understood what it was like dealing with a difficult boss . 

“ I'll be outside in a minute ” His body language immediately become at ease . “ Okay ma'am”. She turned to Sally “ let's go ”. Sally made to move but her steps were shaky .

Alicia moved to help her “ how could you drink yourself to this state woman ” she rolled her eyes at her “ I'm …nott not..drunk !”.

“Sure you aren't ”

Getting outside Alicia expected to see a regular cab . But this was the most expensive and exotic car she had ever been in it was obviously customized by Tesla. 

She gave the driver her address and they arrived in no time . Sally had already passed out . Alicia struggled to get her in the elevator .

“ Seems we have a habit of meeting in the elevator”

Alica turned to see Dylan leaning against the wall , she hadn't even noticed him here .He had an intense expression.

“my brother beat to making his intentions known ( walked towards her ) but I won't give up that easily ” .

Alicia stuttered “wh.. what ?” . The elevator dinged on cue and Dylan swept Sally up and carried her towards the direction of Alicia's apartment . 

She struggled with keys because of her nervous hands , Once in .

“ Just drop her on the couch , thank you very much ”

“ Where is your bedroom ? ” she pointed towards it , he entered and laid her on the bed . 

“ Thank you for helping me with my friend ”

“ Anytime darling ”

Alicia closed the door behind him , wondering at what he said in the elevator . 

She headed to the bedroom and opened her purse , examining the card once more she looked at the name Dimitri Valentino CEO of Skylanders Industries . 

The name sounded oddly familiar , but she right now she was too sleepy to figure it out , she took off her shoes and laid down beside Sally , letting sleep and tiredness overtake her .

Morning 

Alicia felt a sudden movement on the bed, it was Sally running to the bathroom.

“ Eww Gross! Sally ” Alicia sat up and quickly noticed her head was pounding.

Sally came out of the bathroom “ oh please where is the smpathy , I don't think I've had a hangover this bad since prom night ”.

“ Well that's what you get for drinking like a alcoholic, pass my purse please I need tyneol ” Sally threw it towards her and sat at the edge of the bed .

“ How did we get home last night ?”.

“ Long story the man from the vip section arranged a personal car and driver ” Sally eyes widen  with excitement “ Before you say anything , I met someone on the elevator earlier yesterday and no I'm not keeping secrets ( she rolled her eyes ) weird thing is , I met him at the club too and he is the brother of the man from the VIP section”

“Woah that's alot to take in , did you get the name of the man ”

Alicia pulled out his card from and purse and handed it to Sally .

“ What the hell girlllllll!, wait this the Dimitri (she was almost screaming) the man you met last night was Dimitri ?” 

“ please don't scream I have a headache , you know of him ? He name sounded familiar but I can't place it ”

Sally looked at her like she had grown horns and grabbed her cellphone .

“ Take this phone and look at what G****e has to say about him and where is your journal the report on eligible billionaires should be in there ”

Alicia took the phone and tapped on his name , nothing prepared her for the results . First site Dimitri Valentino CEO of Skylanders Industries, a multi billionaire who owns several chains of 5 star hotels and clubs in the world also is one the world top oil refiners owning the most oil refiners and several other busineses ……

Alicia had her mouth open suddenly her headache seemed to disappear , she rushed to find her pink journal and opened to the report , checking the list of top 20 billionaires .

Top 20 Billionaires :

Alexander Kings .

Dimitri Valentino.

Aliko Shahibu .

Tyler Shawn .

Dylan Valentino.

…………

Alicia screamed  ! and dropped her journal running to Sally's side who was also screaming and jumping around like a little girl .

“ Sally, I think I might just have completed step 1 and 2 !”

 

“ It's been barely a week and I can't believe you've already met two Billionaires! And they are a sight for sore eyes ! ”

Alicia laid on her bed “I feel like my heart is about to explode ! But we may have a problem, they're brothers !”

“ I don't see how that poses a problem honestly I say may the best man win , thing is don't sleep with any of them till you make your pick and he commits or you'll end up being used and dumped”

“Keep your legs closed and remember you are the price girl ! No cookie do the 90 days rule . Just keep them waiting and anticipating you can tease mostly definitely be a tease but nothing else ”

“yes ma'am I'll write that down as step 3 ” she picked up her journal and wrote it .

“ Now do want to call the number on the card or I should ” they laughed , Alicia dialed the number on speaker phone , Dimitri picked the call.

“ I've been waiting for your call  my sweet ”

Wait, how does he know it's me ?

 

“ Good morning Dimitri ,how do you know it's me ”

“ Well I did my research and got your number and if you hadn't called by the end of the day . I'd have called you myself”

“Okay ”

“ Can I take you to dinner this evening darling? ,it would be my pleasure to have your company”

Sally nodded her head aggressively, giving her a go ahead “ermmm yes ”.

“ Alright I'll pick you up by 7”

“ Won't you ask for my address?”

He laughed quiet darkly“ don't underestimate me love , I know where you live already , I'll see you by 7 take care ”

The line went off “ wow this one is definitely giving zaddy vibes ” 

“ I don't know about this Sally I dont think I'm ready ”

“ I should call the press to hear you spit this rubbish , this is an opportunity of a lifetime and I'm not going to let you let your insecurities mess this up . ”

“ I guess your right Sally as usual” 

“ Now let's get some sleep ,and drink some cold water. And maybe put some cucumber on those eyes , eye bags are not attractive” Alicia rolled her eyes playfully.
