Just gazing at its peak made me feel a little faint. My old company was small and relatively unknown. I had excelled in my work but received little reward for it. This time, I decided to aim for a bigger pond, to polish my skills and get better at what I do. This choice was all pros…with one con.

Tonight, all you’re going to do is relax, drink expensive champagne, and snag a man.” “I just got my heart broken. I don’t need a man.” “Famous last words.” She sang. With that, she dragged me off to the bar. After a round of drinks, she left to dance with a hot blond-haired guy.

The biggest obstacle in his path was about to be removed. Once Sonia was single again, Chris was certain he could make her his. He was about to say something, but Sonia chased him out. "Don't just stand there. Get going already!" He did not want to leave just like that, but some things were meant to be taken slowly. In the end, he left without saying a word. It was his first time attending a high-class event. He had to be fully prepared. Though he was just her event partner this time around, next time might be different.

asking, "When does it start?" Emily was stunned. "Is that your only reaction?" Arabella raised an eyebrow slightly. "What kind of reaction should I have?" Emily raised her voice, "Do you know that you've successfully defeated more than 20 top imitators from all over the country? These people are the cream of the crop in local museums, and they are all in their 40s and 50s. You're in your twenties and you've beaten so many experts.

It was big money and it came easy to me. As far as heading to Penn State, it was a full ride for both of us. We got scholarships that funded everything for school, except for our partying. We worked hard and graduated at the top of our class. It just pisses me off to think that one person to destroy everything that we had worked for. I have to figure out why she would do it.
