Luci knocked on the door of Mel's room and didn't wait for response before she barged in. Mel was combing out her hair, getting ready for bed when Luci came in. She frowned as she saw Luci. Excitement was written all over her face and she wondered what could have made her that excited.

" Mel! Guess who's downstairs waiting for you?! " Luci shouted, jumping in excitement.

Mel's frown deepened, " Who? " She looked confused, wondering who was waiting for her at that time o the night.

" Brenton Blackwood! The great Brenton Blackwood! Oh my God! " Luci could hardly control her excitement.

" Mel! The guy is drop dead gorgeous up close. I've been dreaming of meeting him since forever! Oh my God! "She shouted again, putting her hands on her face like she still couldn't believe Brent was really in their home.

" Brent is here? What is he doing here? " Mel asked casually and wasn't quite impre

" Here are the files sir " His personal assistant, Shelley said, handing him some files.

" Okay thanks. Is that all? " Brent looked up at her.

" Yes sir. And don't forget the business dinner party tomorrow " She reminded him.

" Oh fuck! " He exclaimed and put a hand on his face.

He had completely forgot about the business dinner. There would have been no problem if he had been asked to come alone, but no, he was told to come with his date.

" Crap! What am I...." His sentence was cut short as the door opened and Colton strolled in.

" Hi peeps! What's poppin'? " He got a chair and plopped down into it, uninvited.

Brent hissed, " Don't you have any better thing to do than to stalk me? "

Colton smiled smugly, " Not stalk, my friend. I'm keeping you company, saving your sorry ass from boredom "
