Chapter 24

The Annual Ball.

Yep, that means I didn't catch a freaking break that whole week. Well I didn't want to, I wanted it to be perfect.

To impress him.

" Did you get the fruit cakes? What about the Iced tea? And the..." I asked the other employees when Cedric suddenly put his arms on my shoulders.

" Hey chill chill. You're going all psycho mode. Can you catch a break?" He said massaging my shoulders and I smiled at him.

"That's nice Cedric but I really need to get back to work, there's so much work to do before ..."

"What are you doing?" I heard a deep baritone voice behind me saying interrupting my line of speech.

If one more person interrupts me today, I'll lose it.

"Boss, I was just-"

"About to lose your job if you don't leave now." Nick finished for him and Cedric nodded taking his hands off my shoulders..

"Take a chill pill alright Ari?" He said leaving.

" Come with me." Nick said, holding a cup of coffee..

Coffee would be good now.. yeah, it'd be great.
