Meeting Friends

When Benjamin left, Betty was wondering why he didn't want her to go get her clothes. She was lost in her thoughts, how could she leave the house to get her cloths, but the doorbell interrupted her thoughts.

Stephanie opened the door, and coming inside was a professional young looking man. He bowed politely to Betty who was sitting on the sofa. "Good afternoon Mrs Jackson, I'm Lewis the service manager of M&M gallery.

He barely left betty time to think over, signalling the people to come in. Then a roll of hangers full of windbreakers popular this season was brought in then a cart followed, this one was full of sweaters one after another shorts, coat, jacket until the living room was filled with clothes. Lewis came to her with respect "Mrs Jackson would you mind if we take your measurements?

What are they doing? is she shooting a commercial as if in a dream betty stood up and let the staff take her measurements, "um are you measuring for clothes for me"? Betty asked sounding confused "yes Mrs Jackson" lewis let out a professional smile. Betty was overwhelmed by mixed feelings uncertainty, nervousness, shock and maybe a little bit of excitement.

After taking measurements the staff immediately picked up the sweaters which was just her size she didn't even need to try them on because six girls were holding each sweater standing in a row for her to choose from.

"Which one do you not like Mrs. Jackson? Lewis stood beside her and ask sincerely. betty looked at these clothes and they were all pretty "no" she shook her head "yes Mrs. Jackson he nooded slightly to Betty and then turned to the girls, put them all in the clock room on the second floor.

The staff who was standing beside took the sweaters and walked upstairs "but I didn't say I wanted them all" betty tried to explain, actually she didn't notice what the sweaters really look like when she was asked if she liked it or not she only answered that of respect "Mrs. Jackson Mr Jackson has told us to keep all the clothes you have an eye on".

The whole afternoon she was picking out clothes lewis just asked her what she didn't like. After the tops were done another seven carts of dresses and skirts were brought in after that it was panting carts and shoes carts. Betty had been able to keep calm at least superficially when she saw a roll of hermes for her to choose from of course only she knew that her heart was raging like a storm.

Did all the rich buy clothes like this? it was too extravagant "she thought this was a fake marriage, All this wasn't necessary? it was not the end Betty even picked out underwear by just sitting on the sofa she wondered if the mall was moved here. Betty collapsed on the sofa after they all left there she realised that she should call Benjamin to figure out why he did this.

Grand imperial club was the biggest club in the city the hottest spot for the wealthiest and most powerful it was the most luxurious presidential suites which was on the top of the building.

A few men were sitting on the sofa and beside them was standing the VIP service manager ready for their call anytime.

Sitting in the middle was Benjamin with his long legs folded elegantly like a king he's swept over the room without expression but everyone was nervous like startled deer.

Wilson Randolf the grandson of the retired general of the air force who was currently the manager of Victorian empire and the best friend and childhood friend of Benjamin he sat there gracefully with a goblet in his hand.

Then Kenneth Anderson who's family took over almost half of the Tech industry of the city right now he was lowly leaning on the sofa lifting the chin of a beautiful woman. "the beauty" is what the men call her Kenneth which was called Ken by his friends was a playboy his face was evil but yet attractive plus he was willing to spend money on women so there were always women bustling around him but no one would ever last over a month even so a variety of pretty girls wanted to hook up with him.

Benjamin and Wilson was disgusted by their friend attitude so they ignored him and was talking about random things.

"Benjamin when do you plan to introduce Betty to us formally"? Wilson asked, "dude calm okay, she's still a little bit shaken up and exhausted over the whole marriage thing. So let's give her time okay? Benjamin answered taking a sip of the wine in his hands.

Then ken said "Benjamin shall I introduce you to some women? Different types, tastes and styles? Stars? Models? Or anchors? When it came to stars Benjamin eyes paused in a flashing moment. Ken knew he had found his weekness, giving out an akward laugh "stars?" Did I get it? Who's the girl? If you want I can get her for you.

Before Benjamin could speak his phone rang suddenly. "Hey Mr. Benjamin, why did you do it? I mean the clothes? You would have let me get my clothes from grace's house the other blurted out without any chance for him to interrupt.
