The club was very loud and full of very passionate people. The dance floor was the part that people love the most. Tucked away among the others was Emma. She was dancing like crazy with one of her crazy cousins, Ellena. She had just come from Las Vegas for a photo shoot for a famous fashion magazine. Ellena deliberately stayed at Emma's apartment while she was spending her two weeks of holiday. And the first thing Ellena did was take her rather boring cousin to a party.
“Wow, isn't this fun, cousin?”
"Superb!" shouted Emma amidst the deafening music. All her nerves were shaking and awakening to the party.
“I told you that you should have fun once in a while. Being a secretary makes you age faster.”
“I like my job.”
"Bullshit. Over time, you will become a company slave and shit.”
Emma ignored her cousin's sarcasm and continued dancing to the music. She freed herself to do anything tonight. She even wore one of Ellena's sexy dresses that she had just brought from Las Vegas. The dress was thigh-length, had a deep V-neck and almost touched her navel. Underneath the dress she only wore a thin thong and something for her breast. It was definitely not a bra. She didn't wear it at all tonight. Ellena gave her a bra cup with tape to protect her precious assets.
“Psst...”
"What?"
“A man is approaching you,” Ellena elbowed her hard in the arm.
Emma looked to the right to find the man Ellena was referring to. His face was not bad. He wore dark blue denim, a fitted t-shirt and a leather jacket. His style was masculine and not too bawdy like the others. Emma felt she needed to give the man a chance. Especially because right now she wanted to forget the face of her asshole boss.
"Hi, I've been watching you and seeing something beautiful in you."
"Interesting. What do you want?"
Ellena giggled beside her. She pushed Emma to approach the man. She encouraged with whispers that sounded like the devil.
“He is quite handsome. Let's see if his wallet is as handsome as his face or not?”
Emma glanced at her cousin briefly and tried to ignore her. She was not really a material woman. But, the idea that Ellena put forward was quite good. She had to know first whether this man had money or not.
"Want to drink with me?"
"Of course. By the way, I'm Emma. And this is my cousin, Ellena.”
"Hello. You can take my sexy cousin with you.” Ellena waved her hand in the air.
“I'm Dimitri. Pleased to meet you."
"Pleased to meet you too. But you better get my cousin out of here before another man takes her from you,” Ellena giggled annoyingly.
Emma really wanted to hit her on the head so that her cousin could be a little saner.
"Okay. Come on Emma. You can order whatever you want.”
"Thank You."
Emma walked after Dimitri towards a quieter bar counter. She looked back to see her crazy cousin. Ellena was flirting with a man in a red shirt who was interested in her. Emma chuckled seeing her cousin who was very excited tonight. She was grateful because Ellena called her this afternoon and said that she had landed at the airport. Her cousin really liked having unexpected surprises. Emma was very happy when her cousin said she was on her way to her apartment and would stay for two weeks. At least Ellena could help her take her mind off that bastard Kevin.
“What do you want?”
“Martini please. And some chocolate treats.”
"Perfect. Are you a chocolate lover?”
"Not really. But I like the combination of martini and chocolate.”
"Unique. Dexter, please bring this beautiful woman's order. And I want borboun with ice.”
The bartender raised his hand before he threw the napkin onto the table.
Emma suddenly became awkward after the bartender left to make their order. To be honest, she was a bit of an introvert and made very few friends during this time.
“Well, this might be a little awkward,” Dimitri started. He didn't hide his admiration for Emma at all. Especially her cleavage which tapered sharply at her navel. The tight dress barely accommodated her chest.
Emma could catch where Dimitri's eyes were moving. But she ignored it. She told herself over and over again that it wasn't all Dimitri's fault. She deliberately wore that dress to tease all the men in this club.
“Are you and your cousin celebrating something? You guys danced passionately.”
“Actually, we are not celebrating anything. We were just having fun. My cousin just finished a photo shoot in Las Vegas. She needed to relax her tense muscles.
“So your cousin is a model?”
"Yes. She is a very talented model.”
"How about you?"
"Me? Oh, my job is very boring. I'm a secretary.”
“Wow, being a secretary is never boring. Is your boss a bald old man with a pot-belly and an ugly face?”
Emma chuckled dryly. She forced Kevin's face into her head and snorted. None of Dimitri's descriptions came close to Kevin's figure.
“Just think so. He's a very disgusting pervert."
“Owwh, are you okay working with him?”
Dimitri's question was interrupted by Dexter, who came with their order. He placed a plate of very tempting chocolate cake in front of Emma and her refreshing-looking martini. Emma couldn't wait any longer to eat the cake.
"Of course. He keeps our relationship professional. But he dated so many women out there. Some of his clients even slept with him. I'm tired of having to pretend to hide his dirty secrets from the public."
Emma shifted her body closer to Dimitri when someone took a seat next to her. She did it to prevent others from hearing her bad-mouth Kevin.
"Are you serious? He's a disgusting old goat. Does he have a wife?”
"No. He is not married and will never be married, I think.”
“Now I know the reason why he likes to tease women. He thirsts for a woman's caress. Thankfully, you are safe.”
“I am indeed very lucky.”
Emma sipped her martini calmly. She felt her back slightly hot. Her instincts had never been wrong so far. After finishing half her martini, she looked back to see what was happening.
“Hello, so you think I'm a disgusting old goat, huh?”
“Ke-Kevin.”
Her body froze, and she was at a loss for words. She was exactly like a fish that had just been taken out of the water. Her lips opened and closed repeatedly without being able to say a word. How could the boss be there? And what was worse, Kevin heard all the nonsense she said to Dimitri.
Oh God, I'm in trouble.
