Chapter 4
When she knocked on his chamber door it opened without her needing to turn the knob. She looked unsure of what he would ask her after the morning incident, he took a quick glance while she stared at the huge glass panes through which New York looked more like movie sight "Please have a seat Miss Aaland" he was getting a sales report on the latest dresses from the head executive of the sales department. Zack himself was not a designer but the company sold designer dresses under their brand name 'Raven Smuts', huge collection of women wear and men's wear; "Mr. Jenson wants to have dinner with me tonight", he said after Richard left the two alone. She raised a brow, why are you telling me that? , with his experienced eyes, he saw the abrupt change in her expression." He wants to see you there", his eyes still on her as if piercing out her skin " do you have proper dresses for dinner parties?" this time she frowned , much better dresses than the girls who move in your arms perhaps" Yes, sir don’t worry about that" she answered. "I'll pick you at 7pm sharp and you may leave now", he stated. She left his chamber immediately and went to the lobby where Michelle had been pacing furiously for the past forty five minutes.
"So, how was it?" Michelle asked out of curiosity, the woman had almost cooled down by the time they reached the luncheon; it was one block from their office complex. Sara took the seat close next to Michelle "How was what?" "C'mon don’t act like you don’t know anything", she giggled. "What, it isn't funny", Sara scowled "Ryan asked me for dinner tonight". "Let me order the lunch first", Michelle's eyes glued to the menu," I'm starving like a pig", "you always do", Sara chuckled; "alright what would you like?" "Hamburger" Sara said looking towards a couple holding their hands. They probably were in their late twenties." Did he ask himself, did he approach you?" Michelle relaxed in her chair. Still looking towards the couple "not exactly, he sent a word through Zack, it’s a business dinner". Sara furrowed her brows "What's the matter"? Mitchell asked observing the change in her friend's expression."You see the couple over there", Michelle could see a couple who were sitting in the last corner of the restaurant," I've seen that guy somewhere", the girls face was hidden from Mitchell's sight of view, but as much as she tried her friend couldn’t remember the guy. Finally when she stopped battling with her memory, she started eating the hams "Alright, let's drop this topic "; she said "I can't let my friend throw hams at me out of anger"."I'd never dare that Sara". Sara smiled at this "before we have any of our odd conversations again, I must say I don’t have proper dinner clothes and there's no time for shopping". "Well, you can always count on me for times like this"; Michelle said "you know I'm a shopaholic"."You must be because you are paid highly for that", Sara joked. "Oh really," she said" then you should have more of those designer wardrobes ". Sara very well understood the hidden meaning "You are funny sometimes", she laughed smugly. Michelle's design branded mind had already thought of a dress which would suit Sara perfectly."I've a green strapless dress which reveals your back and there are stones set all over it and it doesn’t fit me anymore. Since you have a perfect figure so I'm sure it will fit you well". "I'll visit your apartment on my way home", Sara said "hope it fits me".
