D-day part 1.

I've never been so happy about meeting my boss… we got in the car and we were at the panel in 10 minutes. At first I had doubts ,that it was too good to be true, but the apartment was really dreamy.

" The kitchen furniture remains, but you need to buy a bed and other furniture."

Dereck led around.

"I would fall asleep on the ground here without any problems ..."

I admired it with my mouth open.

„ Don't joke around ... buy a bed!"

„Okay, okay…"

Needless to say, I signed the contract there immediately.

„ Isn't it a problem, that the owner isn't here?"

"Don't worry, I'll give it to the lawyer tomorrow and he'll take care of the rest of our paperwork. 2 weeks and you can move in. You must transfer the deposit here within 14 days."

He handed me a note.

„ Acknowledged."

„ Listen Sophie… you know, I help you as much as I can…"

„Yeah I know."

"If you need a partner for the wedding, I'll accompany you."

"Thank you, but I'm done with online dating after today.. and I don't want anyone from my workplace, so I'd rather go alone."

' It won't be awkward…Hell not !! The gossipy cunts will rip me apart!'

„We are friends, wouldn't be better rather…"

„ Dereck. We are friends or colleagues, doesn't matter. You are not ugly enough… to believe we are just friends, if they find out that you are also my boss… believe me in my company of friends, there are a few good soul who floods my neighborhood with malicious rumors…in a blink of an eye."

Let's face it, since he got the director position, Dereck's aura has changed significantly. In America, he was surrounded by a kind approachable mentor feeling, but now… he radiates masculinity, the fact that he is not an anonymous nobody, but a well-paid top executive… in a fucking sexy suit and tie… which makes women only think of insane sex… so you know what I'm talking about... Who is the stupid person who takes it upon me, to introduce such an alpha male to the family, and I don't even want to climb up on his cock on the corporate ladder? Fortunately, he understood and did not bring up the subject any more.

Until the day of the wedding, I could barely see my family, I had so much work to do. Fortunately, the new kind of online advertising produced a significant increase in sales in the webshop already in the first week, and with targeted advertising we were able to carve out a bit of the expenses as well. However, the data on the turnover of all stores in the country will not come down until September 1, which is comparable to previous years.

„Midas! A quick dinner tomorrow night? I'll pay, since you have already brought such luck to the company!"

Dereck brought a document with him as an alibi.

"I can't, I'll be at a wedding from 4 till the morning ..."

I muttered, drowning in the files.

„Oh really… where will it be?"

"Grosvenor Chapel."

I still didn't look up.

„ It must be really romantic… I see you have a lot of work, have a good weekend! „

With this comment, he left.

I didn't really understand why he harassed me from time to time, because of all sorts of random nonsense… but as long as he wasn't hindering me from work…He doesn't bothered me. In addition to all this, he was my main ally at the company… and the loophole for the accelerated full-timer contract.

The wedding gift that I ordered online came at the last minute. Since the young couple is going to move into our house after their honeymoon, they did not need much, so I ordered one of the many meaningless template gifts… practically I gave the groom plenty enough through the years… khm… so be glad I bought something.

Since I'm going alone anyway, I chose a bolder piece of clothing for myself… our dear friends let me show you that I'm not a much worse party than Jules. Mini, navy blue little one-piece, with a glittery light blue tulle barge and a cleavage that even a porn star would envy! As soon as I saw it in the store, I knew it was going to be the real thing. After all, everyone is working from what they got… Jules with the belly of the barrel... versus my huge breasts.

„Honey, aren't you going to get cold like this?"

As I reached the stairs, Francis implicitly indicated that I might should not be producing the fucking bridesmaid style now.

„I have a cardigan and I'll pick it up in the evening. Ready to go?"

"Of course."

Came the dying voice.

„You're beautiful, my treasure!"

Dad pressed a kiss to my forehead, man… he is of course proud of his work.

„And your companion?"

My stepmother remembered.

„He'll come to the chapel."

I tried to keep as silent as possible the fact, that the partner was really a treasure that doesn't even exists.

Of course, we had to be there half an hour before the start of the ceremony, even if the building could only be entered 10 minutes before the start. Two can be guessed… who the waiting crowd attacked with all sorts of unpleasant allusions and questions…

„Hi Sophie! It isn't nothing that you managed to come to your sister's and your ex's wedding!"

The first benefactor came.

"You know, but you've became a good chick ... now that you're single or we can get together."

The second peasant tried.

"If you feel like…you can cry on my shoulder - after all, it's been 7 years."

I rarely found Sophie sympathizers.

The parents disappeared almost immediately, the many trash cans who came to see the Asshole-couple together suddenly surrounded me. I basically know how to defend myself, but the shit talking jerks didn't even take an air break, I didn't even have time to squeak… when someone suddenly grabbed my arm from behind and yanked me out of the hell circle. Straight into his arms…

"I'm sorry, baby, but this traffic… I seriously thought I won't make it in time."
