JULIE"It's just dinner. Nothing too serious"Since the launch, I kept thinking about Adam's request.It was one I never expected - out of nowhere. He was known for being unpredictable in most cases, but I never thought he'd ever make that move of inviting me for dinner.I was kinda speechless when he made the statement, because I didn't know what to say at that point. I was still in the whole frenzy of the applause from the guests after my presentation, so my head was blank.Luckily, he didn't force me to make any conclusions there. He told me to think about it and get back to him to know what day would be convenient."What exactly does he want from me this time around? Trying to play some of those tricks to get me back to his bed?" I kept asking myself.He could have all the girls in the world over for dinner, but why did he choose me all over? I mean, Samantha was all over him. For all I knew, I was a nobody compared to the beauty goddess Samantha was. So, it puzzled me why he stil

JULIELisa would be mad at me if she found out herself that I had been having some personal dealings with Adam. She would never speak to me for eternity if she knew the reason I called for her opinion was because of a dinner date with Adam.I thought about calling her back to tell her everything, but on a second thought, I had to let it go.“I would spill everything to her at the right time” I told myself.I took out the gown she suggested from the wardrobe and admired it.

It was truly reserved for special times and the only reason I wore it to work that day was because of situations like this, where I was too confused on what to put on.I was still in the process of admiring the gown, when a

JULIEI was done with my preparations that took forever. I had to take extra time to make sure my makeup was perfect. I wasn’t going to show up at Adam’s place with bad makeup. I needed to ooze class in all levels.“Julie, you can’t be moving around with me looking like this. What would my friends think of me?” He would usually say back then.In his defense, he was right though. I barely put in effort in my looks then, but he was just too mean to put it that way in public.I was ready to move. Everything was perfect. The gown looked amazing on me as usual. My makeup could rival that of top celebrities. I smelled really nice that one could literally eat me up. I could pass as a London Top Model with the way I ate that look.“Pathetic looking girl, right? Let’s see how you like this look, Adam Jones” I said, smiling to the mirror as I made to leave the room.I was so caught up in trying to show Adam how much I had changed, that I forgot my initial plan of not appearing sexy or hot.Ther
