He smiled at her as she approached him. But she didn't fail to notice the way a woman looked at her when she walked passed.
She couldn't stop herself. 'Is there a particular dress code for place like this?
She wasn't looking bad. She didn't change from her office clothes, so what?
He smiled as he moved close to her; he was glad she didn't argue with him over the phone or turn him down, maybe she was excited as he was.
'You are fine. You look perfect.' He said as he put his hand at the small of her back and begun guiding her into the Grand palace; she entered the restaurant, the lady at the front wanted to say something but seeing Nicholas with her, shut her up and he walked passed her and walked into the restaurant

She greeted.This wasn't really a good morning, look at this place and at 8, when the woman was supposed to resume at 7.'What is the meaning of this, Lucy?'She looked at her boss; confused and then Amber pointed to the hall way, she looked at it and looked away.If Cassie had been here before her, she would have begun shouting.'Sorry, ma.'

He said as he walked through the large room to meet her desk.She gave him a lazy smile. 'Hey, Jake.'
