A Vegas Affair

The conference room was a spacious room with a large, round table surrounded by the interviewers. It was well lit with bright white lights from the ceiling as all the window blinds were shut to block the daylight from penetrating. The air was cool and the ambiance was accommodating.There was a woman in her late fifties who was the oldest there telling by her gray hairs and eyes, even though her skin was very much supple. By her right was a young man with stubble beards and brown wavy hair who Melissa presumed to be around his mid-thirties. She was still analyzing the other lady by the right who seemed the youngest amongst them when she heard her name."Melissa Anderson, we're waiting for you to have a sit." The older lady beckoned. Melissa didn't know she was still at the door holding the handle after she had closed it a while ago. She felt embarrassed and immediately let go of the handle as she made a small bow. She began walking toward the seat they had prepared for her as the soun

The music was still loud and Melissa was on her third glass of drink while watching Leo play casino with other young men surrounded by ladies. She wasn't in the mood to be a cheerleader as such, she sat on the cushion sharing eye contact with Leo when she felt like it. She felt the vibration of her phone as she got a message from Mike on 'Dating pro'.'I got you more drinks.'The moment she looked up, there was a bartender in an apron who brought drinks to her."Here you go, ma'am. This is on the house." He said with a sly smile on his face."What house, I didn't order this drink," Melissa said even though she already received the message."I Know you didn't ma'am. Which is why I said it's on the house." He said dropping the drink on the stool and giving her a final smile before turning around.She got another beep again, it was still Mike.'Drink up, it's just lemon and warm water to make you feel better. You've had too much alcohol in your system for the night.'Melissa was annoyed.

Mike's features were everything gorgeous. His caramel skin had an elegant glow that revealed he had a proper skincare routine. Apart from his curly hairs looking shabby and fluffy that Melissa felt like running her hands through them already, every other thing about him looked handsome. She watched as his biceps moved through the sleeves of his hoodies. He must be working out a lot to have such a great body. His eyes and lips looked so seductive that..."Move, Lisa, we're still standing here. We should be beside those handsome, young men already". Kara said with a flirty tone while bugging Melissa."I was already lost, Kara," Melissa whispered, feeling embarrassed.”"There's nothing to feel embarrassed about darling, move it already,” Kara said, laughing as she dragged Melissa towards the men playing card games.Mike stood up immediately they came towards the table."Hi. I'm Mike." He said with a smile, stretching his hands to shake Melissa."Hello. It's nice to meet you." Melissa sa

"Good morning Mel." Eva greeted Melissa with a warm hug immediately after she got to the office."Eva! You startled me." Melissa said returning the hug. "As should be, aren't you surprised to see me too," Eva said grinning widely."Well I guess I am," Melissa said because she was also surprised about herself."I just discovered that your desk is next to mine. I just knew that we were meant to be together in Bold." Eva said with much enthusiasm.Melissa rolled her eyes after realizing she was now stuck with Eva.There was a loud clearing of the throat and the young lady who interviewed her and asked her about what she considered a heartbreak stood in front of the room. She had this air around her that called for attention and silence. The whole room filled with new employees was quiet once again before she spoke." Good morning everyone, my name is Kate and I'm your HR. Welcome to BOLD, I hope we all put in maximum efforts and maximize our talents to produce something worthwhile."Eve

"He asked you out to dinner?" Eva asked Melissa with so much excitement. She was always hyper, as always and if there was anything Melissa knew, it was the fact that she can never match up to Eva's energy."Yes, he asked me out to dinner and I don't even know what to wear," Melissa said feeling exasperated. She had tons of clothes now from her shopping and clothes that different designer brands have gifted her just so she could model their products. She still didn't think she had the perfect one to have dinner with Mike. It was unlike her to have a change of clothes just because she wanted to have dinner with a guy. She still went out on dates with men she meets on dating pro but she had now upgraded to the premium version of the app so that she could only match up with men of class and caliber. She was now an actress so she wouldn't have anyone jeopardize her carrier with a scandal. She made sure that anyone she went out with also had something to lose and is also protective of their
