Monday morning came and Hailey was determined to act as if nothing had happened. She walked into the office.8964 copyright protection137PENANA6WvBA3MWBh 維尼
"Hailey, where have you been? I was worried sick!" Clara said,8964 copyright protection137PENANAEWt1EeXdgP 維尼
"I was very sick so I couldn't make it," she responded.8964 copyright protection137PENANAY78m8cY2uT 維尼
"You have to fill me in on what happened in the Maldives."8964 copyright protection137PENANAKbKNYebdnW 維尼
Hailey tried not to stiffen, "obviously."8964 copyright protection137PENANADm0huRHReU 維尼
"We have a work meeting now Hailey, so drop your things and head to the main boardroom." Clara and got in, and she sat close to the head of the table and she decided to go sit in the middle. They were all waiting now to get addressed.8964 copyright protection137PENANA0AvG3mmFT2 維尼
Valerian walked in and he scanned the room and he found her eyes, and then he looked away and the meeting commenced. There was going to be a business dinner with other companies, and it was formal.8964 copyright protection137PENANA58EtVJt7XB 維尼
They were going to donate to charity, so they can help the unfortunate and also mark their brand. They discussed a few key points and then they were dismissed. Everyone was talking about it, and how excited they were to see rich guys they could date.8964 copyright protection137PENANATO8KSUtRjF 維尼
During lunch, Clara called her over "Can you do us a favor, please?" She looked at the other girls who were pleading with her.8964 copyright protection137PENANArWb9vwpZyR 維尼
"Okay." She said, trying to also fit in.8964 copyright protection137PENANAiIY6FJ9e2r 維尼
"Can you go to Valerian's office and ask him if we can bring dates to the charity dinner?" said Clara.8964 copyright protection137PENANA59LSq3CKkZ 維尼
"You guys are crazy, I don't want to get fired!" she replied.8964 copyright protection137PENANAVfU5vNk0t2 維尼
"But you already agreed Hailey, they can't fire you. I mean you skipped work for a whole week and they didn't fire you." Clara persisted.8964 copyright protection137PENANATPc2ldFRbh 維尼
Hailey turned to them "Okay, I will ask." They all turned to her expecting her to go now. She went over to his door and kept fidgeting for a whole fifteen minutes.8964 copyright protection137PENANAOA7CFJBwM0 維尼
She finally summed up her courage and she knocked, but no answer came. She knocked twice more,8964 copyright protection137PENANAPH9QHsjI0N 維尼
"come in." his voice boomed from inside.8964 copyright protection137PENANAKc5C3GPnDn 維尼
She jumped a bit and opened it slightly. She saw Valerian sitting by his desk.8964 copyright protection137PENANA4ldFL0Cqip 維尼
He looked up. As she was closing the door, Clara gave her a thumbs up. She walked up to him and started fidgeting. She didn't know how to bring up the topic.8964 copyright protection137PENANAMyTx2IrFcT 維尼
Valerian stopped writing and he looked up at her. "Yes," he looked at her inquisitively.8964 copyright protection137PENANAFHkq63lUK0 維尼
She started to fumble with her words. "You see, I mean Morning, no afternoon Sir."8964 copyright protection137PENANA5cqntlGa2C 維尼
"Hailey what do you want to say?" he asked with an irritated look on his face.8964 copyright protection137PENANASIzYXu9Q9f 維尼
She summed up the courage and blurted out "Is it okay to bring dates to the event?."8964 copyright protection137PENANAf7F5cYv5oW 維尼
She looked at a puzzled Valerian, "You not bringing a date, case closed" he growled out. With that, she scurried out of the room.8964 copyright protection137PENANAcIyVf4DRMh 維尼
She went back to Clara and the others by the front desk, "he said no."8964 copyright protection137PENANAEtYrphIJk0 維尼
"You didn't try hard enough! please try once more." and then she was shoved towards his office. She knocked again and peeked in.8964 copyright protection137PENANAlnSVSFBehq 維尼
Valerian put down his pen in exasperation, "what now?"8964 copyright protection137PENANAZmnozv8JlR 維尼
"You see sir, the other."8964 copyright protection137PENANAWzrw2JFWI6 維尼
"No Hailey!"8964 copyright protection137PENANAOTeaOfWBYr 維尼
"But I.."8964 copyright protection137PENANA9cvOMobQwf 維尼
"No buts, my answer is final, no dates!"8964 copyright protection137PENANAGEpoqmZjDm 維尼
She went out, and went to the other clerks "He said Yes!"8964 copyright protection137PENANA4h3RwxIxCa 維尼
They all cheered. "we knew you could do it!" as some of them gave her hugs. The day finally ended and she kept brainstorming as to how she was going to convince Valerian to let the girls at work bring dates.8964 copyright protection137PENANAgfAeMORHbK 維尼
She changed into her waitress uniform and got into the bus, nothing came to mind as to how he was going to convince him.8964 copyright protection137PENANAwtlZvvCoDw 維尼
She got to work and greeted Matt, who didn't seem too eager to greet her. She worked for an hour when she heard the girls gasping.8964 copyright protection137PENANA1qBNHDqIFp 維尼
She looked over at their direction and saw Valerian and other powerful men. Matt leads them to a table of six.8964 copyright protection137PENANASdDQHfGLdv 維尼
The girls started squabbling over who was going to serve them. Sarah called Matt over, "Which one of us should serve him?" she asked.8964 copyright protection137PENANAETSORXdNzg 維尼
"I'm sure Valerian would be more than pleased to have Hailey serve him."8964 copyright protection137PENANAVTgb2CBLJ9 維尼
She looked at Matt and couldn't help but hear the bitter tone in his voice.8964 copyright protection137PENANA4t45fp5dgo 維尼
Matt shoved the drinks menu on her, and she knew this was her chance to actually ask Valerian to let them bring dates.8964 copyright protection137PENANAlIihJtYQjn 維尼
She walked to their table and gave them their menus.8964 copyright protection137PENANAJy4rWMX2ep 維尼
"Evening Hailey."8964 copyright protection137PENANA2lKVUUD0Ys 維尼
She noticed the familiar voice to be Colhane's. She put on my bright smile "evening, sir."8964 copyright protection137PENANAsxek1QyBIO 維尼
Hailey took every man's drink order, and when it was Valerian's turn to order, She went to him "A Long Island." he shut the menu and handed it back to her.8964 copyright protection137PENANAXxIuXLuwCD 維尼
She bent a bit and her lips were next to Valerian's ear, which made all the other men stare, even Valerian was a bit puzzled. "Sir?"8964 copyright protection137PENANAryvAVUbVg5 維尼
Valerian motioned his hand for her to carry on "can we bring dates to the dinner?"8964 copyright protection137PENANAteR2iNeL47 維尼
Her question made Valerian pause, he looked done at her question.8964 copyright protection137PENANAGCiuqoUGCJ 維尼
He pushed her forehead back with his finger, she took that as her queue to leave. She went and sent in the order for their drinks.8964 copyright protection137PENANAZzUnoKieCV 維尼
She found a bunch of pissed girls "what the hell, Hailey! keep your hands to yourself!"8964 copyright protection137PENANAvPlIIUYnN7 維尼
She wanted to explain but this was not the time, and not to them anyway. Her head was on the line as she had lied about the date situation.8964 copyright protection137PENANA05EEta51PO 維尼
She got their drinks and set them down, when she got to Valerian's she set it down, "please sir, my life is on the line." as she had bent again to whisper in his ear.8964 copyright protection137PENANAc48AcWxrSE 維尼
Valerian turned, and their lips almost touched which made her draw back a bit. "We are ready to order our food."8964 copyright protection137PENANAS4bulrqvYK 維尼
She took their orders and sent them in, she found a bunch of angry stares waiting for her. When the food was ready, she took it to them. She did the same thing when it came to Valerian "You won't even notice them."8964 copyright protection137PENANA0wsS4U1h3g 維尼
He looked very annoyed, "can we please eat?" She backed away and left feeling hopeless. When they were done eating she cleared their table.8964 copyright protection137PENANAknlHbtei4Z 維尼
Then they ordered coffee, and she bought it for them.8964 copyright protection137PENANA9XWbm0Yhb5 維尼
When she had given Valerian his, she was about to turn away, when she felt a hand grip her wrist. It was Valerian and her heart started to beat fast. Everyone was staring.8964 copyright protection137PENANAM8ebrPd1IR 維尼
"I will let them take dates." before she could thank him, he carried on speaking,8964 copyright protection137PENANADaFMaGqPcY 維尼
"Only if you are my date."8964 copyright protection137PENANAy6J5uhZzJL 維尼
