Ding!! Dong!! “Someone at the door?” Ding!! Dong!! The doorbell rang once more, leaving aunt Voila with no other option but to answer the door. Aunt Voila mumbles as she briskly walks towards the door, revealing the figure behind the door. “Good evening senorita, invitation letter from the royals for Miss Catherine” the mailman greeted with a soft smile. “Thank you, would you like to have a glass of water before you leave? “That’s so generous of you, but I will have to decline your offer.” The mailman refused the water politely. “Okay, please extend my heartfelt gratitude to the royals,'' Aunt Voila added before bidding her goodbyes and closing the door behind her. “Who was it at the door?” I questioned, sipping my coffee whilst reading the magazine. “The mailman.” “Mail already today is just the first,” I said with a puzzled look. “It is an invitation from the royals. “How strange!” I protested. Peep! Peep! “Your ride is here” Aunt Voila said, looking behind the curtains. “If you need anything please do not hesitate to call my secretary,” I said before leaving for work. “Okay!” aunt voila said, closing the door. “Good Morning where too?” Kurt greeted, before gesturing to the door. “The Office Please,” I said, opening the invitation letter. ~Catheline Slone, you are hereby invited~ to the Royal’s 50th Annual Masked Wine Expo Greet & meet! On the 19th of October Come taste & pair with us! Your most Humble Presence is Requested. RSVP before the 18th “The wine expo is in the next two days on short notice and it’s held in Peru,” I said, leaning my head against the back of the car. “Are you going to the expo?“Kurt questioned out of curiosity. “It’s too late. I have so much work to do, business meetings to schedule, and eager clients to attend too! I stated bluntly “I’m pretty sure they will understand”, Kurt reassured me. “To be very honest, I think it’s good exposure for my business.” I said, putting my hand on my chin. “For a minute I thought you were going, “Kurt said, glancing at me through his mirror. “Kurt, I am a very busy woman.” “Understood” The remainder of the ride to the office was quiet. The sound of the elevator door opening revealing my office on the top floor brought me back to reality. “Good Morning Slone, you have two meetings with the Stanford brothers, one at 9:30 and the other at 12:00 noon, I emailed you the details and the FAQs and scheduled lunch with one of Elliot’s representatives. “My day hasn’t started yet. When I have a break,I have an invitation to the expo. It seems like I will have to cancel after all. “Did I hear right?! Matt said, jumping out from behind his desk and startling me. “You get invited to the most elegant event and you pass up the opportunity. Matt screamed with excitement. Matt, I’m not in the mood for your childish behavior. “I’m not winning but this is a good business opportunity for you. You can meet billionaires and maybe suggest some of your designs and make an offer. Matt said, sounding confident. I mean you do have a good point. This could be a business venture for us. “And while you are at it you may find someone you’re attracted to or a change” he added with a naughty smile “Matt goodbye,” I said, dropping into my office chair. “I’m just making a suggestion,” he said, snuggling his shoulder. “Schedule an agent to represent me at the lunch with Eliot's representative. I have a lunch date at one. “Lunch date? With who?” Matt asked, being all nosy all of a sudden, “Get back to work. Matt, I have a very busy day.” “Okay! I’m on it, Matt said, tapping into his iPad. It’s almost time for my meeting with one of the Stanford brothers. With little time to spare, I opened my email, checked for recent updates, and read through Matt's FAQs. My phone buzzed beside me, alerting me that I had a new message from an unknown number which states. “Can’t wait to see you.” I was caught off guard because the last time I checked I wasn’t dating or was I seeing anyone. I must be a scammer, I mumbled to myself. The meeting with the brothers was quite successful. We discussed the interior and exterior designs needed, along with suitable furniture to bring out the finishing look. I instructed Matt to draft the estimate, and since we had to work on a specific budget, they signed the agreement without hesitation. The team was assigned to start right away. I took a short break and headed to the elevator where I drove my car to the restaurant to have lunch. Cynthia was late as usual. Cynthia was a busy individual. After all, she’s my business partner, and she was in charge of marketing and shipping the materials. I signaled for the waitress as she approached me with a menu card and a brief smile. “Good day, I hope you’re enjoying the view?” she said with a brief smile. “I am,” I added. “can I please have a shot of margarita while I wait?” “Sure,” she said, placing the menu card on the wooden table. ” I will be right back.” “I scanned the restaurant as I saw a few familiar faces, and a gentleman sparing me a small smile. “Creepy,” I said, picking up the menu card. “What’s creepy?” A familiar voice said, starting me “Maybe you should notify a girl before turning all ninja on me, I said jokingly.” “And miss that daring look on your face never,” Cynthia said, sliding into the chair opposite me. “I wasn’t sure what you wanted so I just ordered a margarita,” I said, scanning the room for the waitress. The waitress came up to our table and placed the margarita on the table, “Ready to order?” the waitress said, looking uneasy. “I’ll have a serving of prawns and a glass of water.” “Same” Cynthia said, dismissing the waitress. “So have you decided what you will be wearing to the wine expo,” Cynthia said, clasping her hands together in excitement. “I’m not going to the wine expo,” I said boldly. “Why not,” Cynthia said with pure sadness? “Because_” “Because you don’t get this type of opportunity twice.” “I’m not going and that’s final,” I said, dismissing the topic. “Okay, I promise I’m not going to mention this topic ever again, but please think about it this way. As your best friend and business partner from a business perspective, it's a great business opportunity to help boost your career and invite possible clients.” “Okay, I will think about it,” I said, throwing my hands up in surrender. “Great, that’s the answer I’m looking for. Are you finished with your lunch? She said, without wasting any time. “I didn’t agree to go,” I said with raised brows. “I know but I can work around that,” Cynthia pulled out her cell phone and dialed Matt’s number. I do know what she said to him but she nodded in agreement. “Come on, we need to get you a new dress”, Cynthia said, leaving her chair. “Cynthia sit,” I ordered “I have a dress I ordered 2 months ago.” “Two months ago, she said, being sarcastic, “Come on, it's an Expo. You plan on wearing a dress you ordered 2 months ago for Christ's sake. “Okay fine,” I protested “We will go down to the shop after work, for now, I need to get back. For my office” We bid goodbyes, paid for lunch and went our separate ways. “See you at five,” she said, skipping down the pavement like a little child. A few hours later. “How about this,” I said, smoothing out the fabric of the dress, as I made my way to the display area. “Not suitable,” she said as she continued to look at her nails without sparing me a glance. “Cynthia, this is the fifteenth dress I’ve tried on and neither of them you found fit for the wine expo. Maybe this was a mistake,'' I said as I took a chair. I was tired and stressed. Maybe this was a sign to not go! “Stop winning, I think I have the perfect dress in mind,” she said upon realizing something. “Oh, thank goodness” I signed impatiently.
