The landlord slammed the door behind her, leaving an uneasy silence hanging in the room. Sophia glanced at me, eyes gleaming with something beyond frustration. "Lati, seriously? This isn’t a hike disaster? It’s actually a golden ticket."
I blinked, confused. I was not getting what she meant and I knew Sophia since little she has a wide imagination and won’t shut her mouth until she says what she wants too
She smirked. "Our company sent us undercover for a reason—to get close to that man handling the renovations. This is our chance. Why fight from the sidelines when we can get into the game?"
I leaned in, feeling the weight of her words. "So... what are you trying to say ?" Sophi smacked my head “ldiot isn’t this a golden opportunity,to get close to him,to find out whatever those stupid people asked us to find” Something clicked inside me “ Yes…..that’s true,how come I didn’t think of this”l hugged her kissing her all over her face “muah muah…….l love you. So we find him first right “
Sophia nodded, already pulling out her phone. "Exactly. We’re tracking his moves. Watching, waiting. When he slips up, we’ll be ready."
“Um……don’t you have a job you applied for”
“Job,what job…………oh s**t I’m late”
My new job is a meter attendant. I write tickets for people who illegally park . I know it's not the most glamorous job, but it pays the bills, okay? That’s partially the reason I got this job another is to get closer to Sebastian
Then l heard a voice behind me
"Hey, are you one of those ticket ladies?"
“Maybe.”
“I literally have to walk everywhere because you people make me so mad. You are making me so angry for existing right now.”
I was already getting pissed
“I am about to write your ticket for existing. Now get out of my face. You make, make me look sick to look at.”
Uh, I already know I'm going to hate this job, but I have no choice right now.
My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a loud, obnoxious exhaust. I looked over to where the sound was coming from and saw an extremely expensive sports car, and they parked in a no-park zone. I guess I should tell him, so they don't get their tickets.
"Excuse me, sir."
I couldn't believe my eyes. The person that stood before me was the Sebastian. He wasn't your typical billionaire CEO. He has a sexy sleeve tattoo, and this piercing that added so much depth. His bone structure was so chiseled, so sharp. And he had these mesmerizing eyes while he was scanning me from head to toe, and I was looking like a hot mess. I shouldn't let his presence have this much power over me. OUR TARGET JUST WALKED RIGHT INTO ME.l quickly texted it to soph and I received a message to act along
"Sorry, I don't have time to take a photo with you. Is that all right?"
I know he is hot, but he doesn't have to act like that
.
"Actually, that is not what I came over for. I certainly don't care who you are, nor want any photos with you." I eyed him
"Hmm. That's a first.”
“I actually just want to let you know that you, your car is parked in a no-park zone."
"And where are you getting that information?"
"Are you dumb? Take a look behind you."
“And your point”
I asked him, "So….. can you please move your car so I won't have to ticket you?"
He smiled, "Would you really give me a ticket?"
"Now that you mention it, how could I give someone like you a ticket? I heard you’re quite a celebrity in this city. Every girl would kill just to stand in your presence right now.How did I get so lucky?"
“Unfortunately for you, none of that matters to me. I don’t care who you are or your social status. To me, you’re no different from myself.”l snapped
"So I guess if you don’t move your car, I’ll have to show you that."
"Why would I want to be different from someone like you? " he teased.
Don’t blush Don’t blush I told myself
I hated myself for liking the attention but wasn’t used to it.
Just then, the paparazzi rushed over.
“Hey,Sebastian look over here,smile for us baby”
“Not again “he said
“Wow how obnoxious “I glared at them
“Come on hot stuff look he camera will you,smile for us baby “The kept shouting
He actually seems bothered by their comments but maybe I was just overthinking
“Hey lady can you leave the camera”one of them said l was about insulting that fellow when he pulled my hands
“Well it has been a lot of fun messing with you but I better get out of here,cute to see you passionate though……do you think I’m worried about a ticket”He laughed and continue
“Being at what did you call it….my ‘social status’ feel free to do what ever you want I’m not bothered in moving forward his car”
"Hey, how did you get Sebastian to talk with you? You’re kind of a loser, you look poor," they mocked.
“He doesn’t even talking to me”a paparazzi said
“Awwn baby,bet your mama doesn’t even talking to you,I’m also not surprised,so can you please get out of my face”
He didn’t seem bothered, but I couldn’t let them treat him like that.
Finally, it was time to ticket Tatum’s car.
Sebastian POV
"Good afternoon, Tatum. We’re happy to have you again. Can I get you started with anything while you wait for your date?"
"I'm not on a date," he
replied.
"Oh, my apologies, sir. Your guest then? Drinks?"
"Yes, get me a Scotch."
"Right away, sir."
I glanced at the girl one more time and focused on what I was there for
