"This lights can go here," I suggest. We had been decorating the apartment for a while now. We were done with all the arranging and setting up. Us working together helped us finish the work much sooner than we anticipated. 

"Let's make mac and cheese tonight," Alexandra says. 

"Yes! The kitchen looks so pretty now. It makes me want to cook." I reply. 

"Let's celebrate with some alcohol. Let's celebrate this new apartment, us being here. Everything." Phoebe says. 

"Then I guess we will need something more special than simple mac and cheese," I add. 

"I know just what to do," I exclaimed, clapping my hands in excitement. 

"I am going to do Gnocchi, but I don't like it when too many people are there in the kitchen. So leave that to me." I say. They nod their heads. 

"Then I will make some roasted butter garlic mushrooms and some roasted broccoli. " Alexandra pipes in. 

"And I will get the wi

  • PROBABLY IF THE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE DIFFERENT    Chapter 46

    “I am sorry. I am late.” I apologise to the teacher before entering the class. She doesn’t pay any attention to me and continues with her class. I take the first empty seat that I find. I pant in my seat, the exertion from running and climbing the stairs finally catching up to me. My chest hurt with every deep breath that I took. My calves were on fire, and my side felt like it had a million needles stabbing it. I was sweating, my body trying to get back to its normal condition.“Excuse me.” I hear another voice say. I look up to see that it was Luke who entered. Looks like I wasn’t the only one who was running late.He walks in my general direction, and for a second I think he is going to take a seat beside me. I give him a smile as a greeting. He glares at me and completely ignores the empty seat beside me. A frown graces my face. I look behind me to see where he was seated, and I notice that he was sitting with C

    “Trust me I wasn’t trying to seduce you,” I reply, fighting off the heat and getting my composure back. He lifts one eyebrow up as though he couldn’t believe it.“Felt like it, though.” He says. I look him straight in the eye, and he sits up straight, feeling the change in my demeanour.I lean forward, suddenly feeling powerful.“That was anything but seducing. If I was to seduce, you wouldn’t have been able to hold up your composure or stand straight for that matter.” I whisper. His eyes widen, and he suddenly looks out of breath. I sit back, a smirk playing on my lips. I loved how powerful this made me feel. I hadn’t done this before, and somehow Gabrielle was arousing a side of me that I didn’t know existed.The limo comes to a stop, and I scoot towards the door, getting ready to get out of the limo. Before I close the door behind me, I pop my head back in the lim

    Honestly, I would willingly do something stupid just to piss off the people around me and not get called to these things. Well, I guess I had to bear with these things if I wanted to be paid then yes.I hide my phone on my lap, and I browse through Instagram. I don’t think it’s proper etiquette to be on your phone while you are eating in a social setting. But in my defence, I was alone, and I didn’t want to stare at people while I shoved food in my mouth.“Boo!” I hear a whisper in my ears, and I nearly drop my phone and my fork. I look up to see that it was Harold who did that.“Jesus, you almost gave me a heart attack,” I exclaim, holding a hand to my chest.He takes a seat opposite me and dives into his plate of food.“tch, tch. It’s so rude to be on your phone when there are people around you.” He says, shaking his head.“I was bored,” I

    Gabrielle has been talking to this group of people for so long now. Not even ten minutes into the conversation, and I found myself zoning out. There was a lot of talk about money, deals and statistics. Yes, I could understand some of it; I had done a short online course on accounts a year back. It was a necessity, as my father was no longer there to help with the accounts stuff, a subject he was so good at, and I took it as my mission to learn a few basics and take his place. But all of this was just a little too much, and it was quite boring.I wanted to leave; I kept sneaking glances at the people around us. I was hungry, and I could feel my stomach grumbling. It was around eight now, and yet very few of them had bothered enough to have dinner; the rest of them seemed too caught up with their conversations.I glanced at the food table and felt my stomach grumble once again. Would it be rude if I excused myself and helped myself with some food? Ugh, this s

    I politely smile at the people while Gabrielle leads me further into the hall. The hall was so huge that it made even a crowd like this look small. I wanted to duck my head, but wherever we went, I could feel the stares in my back.The stares weren’t much directed at me but at Gabrielle. People looked at him as though he was the king of a large country. I guess he kind of was in a way in the world of business. This made me wonder, what a twisted fate it was for me to come across a man so powerful, forget about having him as my sugar daddy. It all felt like a dream to me.The smile soon slips from my face, and I find myself looking at my surrounding me with awe. Huge chandeliers hung from the ceiling, glittering like diamonds under the warm lighting. Rich curtains draped around the place, and a huge table was set aside, displaying various kind of food items. The centre was empty, soft music playing the background so that people could dance yet nobody m

    I wait for a minute or two for someone to open the door. Usually, I would have done it, but I didn’t really know where to go, and a part of me was scared of what was out there.I move towards the door and grab the handle. Just as I was about to open the door, it swings open from the outside.I peek outside to see that it was Gabrielle who opened the door. I take his hand that he offered and climb out of the car. Getting out of the car with heels on was really a pain. I let go of his hand as soon as I am standing.“Thank you,” I reply, giving him a smile. He checks me out openly, not even trying to look subtle in any way. I pretend that I don’t notice it. I give him a once over, sneakily from the corner of my eye.To say that he was looking handsome would be an understatement, he looked ethereal. He had a midnight blue suit on, which complemented my dress pretty well. He had a black-tie on, and a glittering e
