The office

586 Words
Lily began to make preparations to go to the address she was given. The art coach had said it was Michael's address but when she looked it up, it showed that it was an office address. She was so relieved. In her mind, she literally saw no reason why she needed to go to anyone's house for a painting. She had her shower and dressed in a faded jeans and plain white Tee. She was about to step out when Gina saw her and said, "Oh no honey. You are not stepping out that way to go meet a multi millionaire, possibly a billionaire. Not on my watch" "What's wrong with my attire?", Lily asked confused. "I know you can look good in any thing, heck you can even look good in a bin bag but the goal here is to look appealing", Gina said as she went to her wardrobe to rummage for a dress for Lily "And whose goal would that be?", Lily questioned "My goal. You may hate his guts but you don't have to wear a faded jeans while hating him" Gina brought out a warm, flower patterned sundress and a pair of sandals that looked perfect with the dress. "Here, wear this", she said handing it over to Lily. * * * * * * * She stepped out into the warm sunshine as she waited for her Uber. She admitted to herself that the dress her friend gave her really suited her. After she took one look at herself in the mirror with the dress on, she decided she was going to buy more sundresses because it suited her quite well, it made her feel feminine, a deviation from the jeans and polo she always wore to paint. Her Uber finally arrived and she read out the address to the woman behind the wheel. "You look good. Are you going to surprise your boyfriend in his office? So thoughtful. I'm sure he'll be glad to see you", the woman remarked as she drove off. "Thanks, she muttered without answering the second question. If only the driver knew. The Uber dropped her in front of a massive skyscraper building that was clearly an office building. The sign on the building read, "Michael & co incorporated". Wow, she thought, this Michael was really something. She entered the front door and made enquiries. The receptionist told her to hold on as she made a quick call. "Someone will be here soon to lead you there. Have a sit", the receptionist said. She sat down on a nearby sofa and picked a Vogue magazine she saw beside her. She began to look through it as she waited. A few minutes later, a blonde attractive lady came down to lead her to where she would meet Michael. This dude really did have a thing for blondes, she muttered under her breath as she followed the blonde lady up the elevator. They finally got off at the top floor and the lady pointed to a glass door and said, "Go in through that door and meet him, he just finished a meeting" and then she walked off. Lily took a deep breath in and walked to the door, she slid the door open and came face to face with Michael, for the third time in her life. He was sitting behind the desk looking majestic in his Italian tailored suit. Gosh, he really is handsome, it's a pity he's such an asshole, Lily thought to herself.
