After 2

Chapter 110

"That was so amazing, thank you so much for bringing me along." I tell Christian as we step into the elevator.

"It was my pleasure really, you're one of my best employees. Intern or not, you're very bright." He compliments and I smile.

"This was beyond incredible. I really believe that digital publishing is the biggest thing in publishing and it will continue to grow, its so much convenient and easy for readers to access. This is huge, and it keeps expanding." I ramble.

"Yea, I agree. We can use a lot of the information we got tonight to help Vance grow even further, imagine how many new customers will come of this." Mr. Vance agrees.

"Okay are you two done?" Kimberly teases and wraps her arm through Christian's.

"Let's get changed and hit the town! This is the first weekend in months that we have had a sitter."  She pouts playfully.

"Yes ma'am." He smiles down at her. I am glad he found her after his wife passed away, he got a second chance at happiness. I look over at Trevor and he gives me a small smile.

"I need a drink." Kimberly says.

"Me too." Christian says.

"Okay so everyone meet in the lobby in thirty minutes and the driver will pick us up out front." Christian says and I nod.

When I get back to my room I turn my curling iron on to touch up my hair and add more makeup to my face. I brush the dark shadow over my eyelids and look into the mirror. It looks heavy for me but not too heavy. I line my eyes with black liner and add some blush to my cheeks before fixing my hair. I check the time and I have to be down in the lobby in ten minutes. The navy dress I wore this morning looks even better now with my darker makeup and fuller hair. I wish Hardin.. no I don't. I don't. I repeat to myself and slip my black heels on. I grab my cell phone and purse before leaving the room to meet my friends, are they my friends? I don't know but I feel like Kimberly is and Trevor is very kind, I just don't know about Christian. He is my boss after all. Vance is Ken's friend so he is much older than me, I know he is younger than Ken but I am not sure how much younger. I am not sure Kimberly's age either but I know that Trevor is twenty four. I have always been mature for my age, a trait that always made it hard for me to make friends my own age. On the elevator ride down to the lobby, I text Landon to tell him that I am having a great time in Seattle. I miss Landon and I hope we can still remain close since Hardin and I aren't together anymore. I am not even sure if you could count our relationship as an actual relationship since it was all based on a lie.

When I step off of the elevator, I spot Trevor's black hair near the door. He is wearing black dress pants and a cream sweater. It reminds me of something Noah would wear. I take a second to admire how handsome he looks before I make my presence known. When his eyes find me they go wide and he makes a noise between a cough and a squeak. I can't help but laugh a little as his cheeks flush.

"You look.. you look very beautiful." He says and I smile.

"Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself." I compliment him and the redness on his cheeks deepens.

"Thanks." He murmurs nervously. It's an odd thing to see him so put-off. He is usually so collected and in order.

"There they are!" I hear Kimberly call.

"Wow Kim!" I say and wave my hand over my face. She looks stunning in a red halter dress that only reaches half way down her thighs. Her short blonde hair is pin straight and she looks classy yet sexy. 

"I have a feeling we will be fighting men off all night." Christian says to Trevor and they both laugh.

When we get to the nightclub I am blown away by the three story building full of flashing lights and swaying bodies. It is much like what I envisioned it to be but much larger and a lot more people.
