Early hours of the morning came and passed, Mandy didn't go to work, it's almost noon, she is so tired that she forgot she had another job apart from modeling.

Still stretching on her bed, her phone ping, is from Tessa, she had been trying to reach her, now she finally get through.

Hey babe! Where are you?

Why are you calling at this time of the night?

Silly, it's not even morning is noon already and the company is having a conference.

Shit! Mandy dump the phone and hurry into the washroom, on getting out, she pulled a simple gown on her skin without pulling the zipper up.

Ma! Are you not going to take your...

No, I will just skip, I need to be at the office. She speaks as she dash out, Bryan pulled the car door for her, he didn't notice that Mandy zipper is not fully zip, getting into Daniel's company, she hurry to the reception.

Good morning!

Miss Mandy, it's noon.

Sorry, where is the conference held?

Over there. Tina point at her, she didn't look back before she grabbed her stuff, she is sweating badly. Your... Shit! Her zipper is not properly done.

Tina wasn't able to tell because she is so much in a hurry to meet up, the door of the room open, all eyes where on Mandy.

Who...

Sorry! I am sorry! Mandy apology stop Lauren from cursing, instead of getting mad at her, he find himself smiling, that same Lauren that was like some wicked judge giving a death sentence before Mandy arrived, he make gesture for her to sit beside him.

Dylan and Larry look at him, after Mandy takes her sit, everyone is standing up and exiting through the door.

Where are they going? Mandy asked, ogling at Lauren.

The meeting is over. Mandy eyes bulge out then he take a look at Lauren, if the meeting is over while then did he asked her to sit.

I am sorry, I over...

We will go ahead. Larry and Dylan said, the two also left the conference room, Lauren turned his gaze at her after using his eyes to follow Dylan and Larry out.

It's all your fault. Lauren look at her and point himself. Yes, if you did come home yesterday, I would had know that it's morning already and not think that, is still night.

Lauren stand up, he walked to her back and pulled her from the chair.

What? He pull her zipper, immediately she closed the door, his eyes had caught her zipper, that is the main reason he asked her to sit.

You did not pull your zipper up. She facepalm herself, as Lauren help her with it, that was what Noor always do for her, she is still blushing Lauren voice came up. I wasn't the one that didn't come home the previous night.

So it's pay back? Lauren look at her, how does this woman head work, he have no idea that she is coming back the previous night, if he did, he would had returned home.

Silly, you didn't tell me, you were coming and you never did tell me, you were going out.

Sorry, I just don't want to disturb you. She wiped her face, then run her hand on her neck.

Go home!

What?

Yes, go home, you are tired.

Will you come with me? Lauren eyes bulge out, she is not serious, is she? That look on his face is like she is kidding. Please! I will be lonely there.

But you are supposed to sleep not...

Come on Lauren! She pull his hand, he had no choice than to agree to her demand, Mandy can be handful sometimes but what can Lauren do, the boy is madly in love but doesn't want Mandy to know about it.

Fine, I will but on one condition. Mandy look at him. Yes, will you be my date?

Mandy smiled.

You want to take me on a date? Like you and I sitting in some fancy restaurants?

Nope! He said, pushing the door of the conference room, Mandy face go sour, he could see it from the side of his eyes. What I mean is that; one of my business associate is launching a new product of his, so he wants me to be there, so will you be my date?

Hm! I really haven't got to that before, Lauren.

Lauren face darken, Mandy is not planning to reject his offer again, is she? If she refused him, he is not going to take it, approaching Tina's desk.

Cancel all my appointments, I will be out soon. Tina smiled at him then look at Mandy beside him. I am going with her. Tina smile widen, hearing Lauren's words, he shake his head in denial like he didn't see Tina's action.

Walking into the car, Mandy take the passenger seat.

As I was saying, is not like some formal party, it should be causal

I don't think so, all elite party are always big.

Mandy, no one will notice, I will not stay long, just breeze in and out, just don't want to trash it like the others.

Mandy pin her lips together, she is contemplating, she should just say no, those elite world is something she doesn't want to get involved in, never had she attended one, since she turn eighteen, the only one she had attended before her eighteen birthday was that of the very man in front of her.

Don't say no! I am granting your wish now.

Such a blackmailer. Mandy said, he smirked.

Is that a yes and you could get a bonus. Mandy turned to him, she needed all the money in the world now, she has school fees to pay, she needs to pay for accommodation, so she could leave Lauren's place.

Fine, I will; provided, you stay with me. Lauren nodded at her childishness. Fine, when is the product launch?

Tomorrow night.

Mandy smiled at him, his heart leap for joy, right now, they are inside the Mansion, everyone is surprise to see the boss at home during the day.

Is like seeing a rabbit during the day, he knows that look on his workers face are giving him but choose to play blind to it.
