I wondered as I stared at the white Dress .It's a gift from Omari on my 25th birthday last year and I've never even worn it maybe I should wear this one " I thought and dropped it on my bed .It's Friday night and well today is the blind date with the son of my mother's friend .I could've said no if mom wasn't so obsessed with the whole marriage stuff.The thing is we have a deal and if I dare refuse to go on this date she is gonna have my head for it .I checked my dress length which ended just above my knees."

🌻 IMANI POV 🌻I stared at my Boss sitted calmly after dropping such a bomb at me ." Sir I know I poured hot coffee on you and I have apologized for it ... Can I leave now ? I asked and he stared at me then sent his long strong fingers to his tie as he shifted it properly on his neck .My eyes trailed his outfit his white sleeve shirt was now rolled up exposing his strong arms the first few buttons of his dress shirt was undone showing off his chest an expensive looking gold chain was around his neck complimenting his gorgeous skin ."
