Andriana was awoken by the sound of her doorbell.
After coming back home late last night, she had stayed up late searching for the stranger Samantha had told her about.
He was really an important person like she had said.
"Coming " she rushed to the door.
"It's me, Mira, open up ", she heard her friend say.
She walked in the moment the door was opened.
"Rough night, I suppose, she muttered, taking a seat.
Andriana yawned closing the door.
"I know why you're here. How screwed are we ?" she joined her friend on the couch.
Mira chuckled passing her the packed coffee she had bought with her.
"Thank you " she took it.
"Well, I did receive a message from his assistant", she took a sip of her coffee.
Andriana frowned placing hers down.
"And?".
"And .....well his ...." Mira muttered.
"Stop slugging and let it out " she yelled.
Mira sighed.
"Mr Lockhart invited you to dinner this evening ", she said.
"Huh?!".
Exactly my reaction . I mean with what Samantha told me, I believed we would be blacklisted already " Mira laughed, " but no he instead invites you for dinner "
Andriana leaned back, "maybe his really not okay in the head ".
"I am not sure about that, but I know this for sure, he's not a man to be trifled with . He can get rid of me or you without lifting a finger ".
"How do you expect me to meet the same person who tried to kidnap me last night? " Andriana let out.
Mira took a sip of her coffee and glanced at her friend.
"Samantha said you seemed to have let yourself be taken ...so if that is true he didn't really kidnap you ".
"Ah...but I couldn't run away and ...." She sighed. They were right, why had she easily let him take her or even talked to him in the first place?
"So what is your answer ?" asked Mira.
"Huh?".
"Oh, it's just that he gave us a deadline. And if you haven't given him a response by then, then he will consider it a no," she explained.
"And ?".
"And then you and I will face the consequences of your actions from last night ", Mira added.
Andriana sighed.
"Something is definitely wrong with him ", she got up, heading to her room.
"I think it's pretty simple, he likes you " Mira mumbled.
"Huh, what did you say? "she looked back.
Her doorbell rang, and they both looked back at each other.
"Who are you expecting this early ?" Mira asked.
"No one ", she moved to the door, asking who it was.
"Delivery ", she frowned, wondering when she had ordered anything.
Opening the door she froze to see a huge bouquet of roses.
"Miss Davison " asked the man at the door.
She nodded, wondering why a deliveryman was in a suit. He passed the flowers to her, then took out his phone, making a call.
"My boss wants to talk to you " she looked down at the phone he was offering and looked back at Mira.
Her friend got up, " Let me have these ", she took the flowers from her," Now go ahead and answer ".
She frowned, "Do I have to?"
Mira nodded.
Andriana took the phone answering.
"Hello, Mr Lockhart "
A light chuckle was heard from his side, "So you knew who I was ?"
"No, I just found out a while ago" she breathed, "do you think I would have done all that if I knew "
"Did you receive my invitation?"
"Yes, and my answer is No", she let out.
He didn't say anything so she went on.
"It was me who made the mistake so why threaten my friends ?"
"Threaten?..... I did ?" he asked.
"Yes, you did, and now it seems you're a stalker too. How did you find out my address " she glared back at his man still at the door.
"Please, if you want me to apologise, I will do it personally, even beg for my life if it would please you. So leave us alone, you crazy stalker," she hung up.
Taking the flowers back from Mira, she returned them and his phone then looked up at him.
"Go tell your boss to seek mental help instead of bothering us this early in the morning " then closed the door.
Mira stood back, staring at her.
Andriana bit her lower lip and collapsed to the floor breathing heavily.
"Oh my God ....what are we going to do now....I think I made it worse " she cried out.
Mira scoffed and leaned back on the couch. Too stunned to speak.
