Gold Digger (Complete)

Chapter 2

*"And I just push away the ones who get too close
Now I'm alone but what I won't do for love"

------------------------------------------------------

Berry looked into the mirror to apply final touches to her makeup. Today is the party. After making sure that every arrangement is right she came home to have a quick shower and change.

She wanted to buy a dress that would cover her legs because she didn't wanted to show them. So she bought a black dress that was tight from the top and flowy in the bottom. But in the process she ended up spending too much. She looked at herself in the mirror from top to bottom.

'Oh this was an extravagance I can't afford. Why did I spent so much money for this dress', she thought.

But God she looked good. She only looks good on her good days and this is definitely a good day.

She decided to let her hair loose and took her clutch. That's it she was good to go.

She entered the hall where the party was taking place and started looking for Mr. Wild. She spotted him entering and made her way towards him.

"Mr. Wild", she called to get his attention.

He turned, "Oh, Berry? For a second I thought it was someone else. But then your baby cheeks gave you away. You look gorgeous young lady. You should dress up more often".

"Thank you Mr. Wild", she said getting a little awkward because of what happened in the morning.

Mr. Wild got emotional in the morning as it was his last day. Berry had started crying too. He asked her to keep meeting him and even shared a few words of wisdom. Berry was going to miss him.

"How are you holding up?", She asked

"Oh, I'm fine, tough as an old boot. But make sure I don't cry when I give my final speech"

They both started laughing.

"See?" he continued, "I'm not that old to make a young girl laugh". His face got serious, "but I mean it about not letting me cry. Understood?"

She nodded trying to keep a serious face when she still felt like laughing.

"I should go have a word with the guests", he said.

"And I should go and see if everything is working fine", Berry said turning around.

"Oh loosen up Berry, everything is taken care of. Go and enjoy the party. It's an order. Remember I'm still your boss till today", he said

Berry smiled and nodded.

After Mr. Wild left she was all alone thinking what should she do now. Normally she would take care of all the things in the party and leave as soon as her job is done. She never stays.

She could perhaps go to their colleagues but she's​ not that close to anyone. Everyone was in their group and she would only be an unwanted member there.

Berry could never make close friends. It's something in her nature. She never lets anyone get close to her. So if anyone tries to get close to her they would always be talking about them. But as soon as they start asking her about her she panics and start making her distance fearing that they might know too much.

She hates that about her. She has to change it otherwise she will always be alone. Just like Mr. Wild.

Looking around she went to the bar and sat on the stool. Berry had never tasted alcohol. She detest it with all her heart. It brings back many ugly memories.
