Chapter 1
Hira
After a few minutes of laying on the bed, I fell asleep.
Hira
After a few hours, I woke up. It was around 4 am. I prepared the things I need such as my present, the clothes I'll wear, etc.
Hira
After preparing all the things I need, I greeted her through message and headed back to sleep since her the celebration will start at 3pm.
After a few hours of rest, Hira woke up and changed her clothes. The venue will be at a hotel and Vieve's patents will be the one who'll fetch her.
Hira
I wore a white dress at Vieve's Birthday, I know it's her favorite shade.
Hira
"Picture before celebrating, I guess?" I said as I pose and took another picture.
After a short while, 2pm sharp, Vieve's parents arrived.
Hira
I headed outside of my condo and saw Aunt's car. I immediately rush and paid my respect to them.
Hira
"Good afternoon, Mom, Dad." I gave them a smile as they welcomed me inside their car.
Mrs. Smith
"Good afternoon, hon." I smiled and gave you a kiss on your cheek.
Mr. Smith
"Good afternoon, honey." I smiled and gave you a hug. "You look stunning. Vieve would love your outfit today."
Hira
"Thank you, Mom, Dad. I'm glad. I bought my gift for Vieve, I hope she'll love this." I smiled.
Mrs. Smith
"Oh, she will. Everything you gave her, she loves them all, honey."
Hira
"Thank you, Mom." I smiled.
Mrs. Smith
"You are welcome, hon. Lets get going, shall we?" I gave Hira a warm smile as I patted her head.
This is Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith, Vieve's parents. When my parents separated and my Mom left as she went abroad. They took care of me as if I was their own. I have a work. I am a Personal Assistant at a well-known company. I saved all of my income trying to pay them from taking care of me. They're a really sweet couple.
After a short trip, we arrived at the venue. Vieve welcomed us.
Vieve
"You look stunning, Sis." I complimented her knowing how beautiful she is. Oh how lucky I am to met this gorgeous girl.
Hira
"Thank you, Shortie." I giggled as I teased her.
Mrs. Smith
"Baby's, let's head inside." I lead them as I know they will be stuck outside from teasing each other.
Vieve
"Okii. Okii. Coming, Mom." I said as Hira, Dad and I followed her.
When we get inside, the design was gorgeous.
Yep. White. Vieve's favorite. I already expected this, that's why I wore a white dress that I know would match the venue.
After a short while, I waited at a table where Vieve and I talked about some little tea's. We love talking about tea's about other people. We have done this several times since we were highschool. Oh how it bring back memories.
After a while, as Vieve and I were chatting, the celebration started.
Vieve left and headed to the second floor. When she walked down the stairs, everyone looked at her as Mom and Dad introduced her. Oh how stunning she is.
Mrs. Smith
"Let me welcome, my daughter, Vieve. My one and only. I can't believe she's already this old. Just yesterday, she was still crawling on the floor and now, she's walking like a princess. Today is her 24th Birthday. Happy Birthday, my Vieve." I smiled as introduced my daughter to everyone.
As the celebration started, everyone started chatting and eating. I was relaxing at my table eating some dessert when suddenly, a notification pop-up on my phone.
Hira
"What? But I cant leave later on." I sighted as I looked at my phone and replied, "Yes, Will be there."
After entertaining my guests, I hurriedly came to Hira's table. I saw her sighting while looking at her phone. What could happen again?
I bet it's herboss again. Hayst. That jerk.
Vieve
"Hira, what's the matter?" I said while offering her some drinks.
Hira
"Uhmm... Vieve, I have to tell you something..." I worriedly said to her.
Vieve
"What is it? Is something bothering you?"
Hira
"Well, my boss texted me and said that the meeting with our special client today got moved. I have to go to work later around 6pm. Are you cool with it? I mean it's your special day today and I can't even celebrate it with you...."
Vieve
"That jerk. Really." I annoyingly rant.
Vieve
"Hayst... Okay, okay. I mean, your work is important, can you catch up ?"
Hira
"I don't think I can, It will start at 9pm and will end around 11pm."
Vieve
"Hayst... Okay, just catch up at the after party, okay?"
Hira
"Okii, okii. You really are the best." I smiled at her knowing she's not really happy.
I felt really bad knowing I can't be with Vieve today. Hayst. But I have to go to work. It's an important client, a veey important one.
Vieve
"Well, there's still a lot of time we can enjoy! Let's go! Let's chat a drink a bit." I tried to cheer her up as I know she felt really guilty.
Hira
"Okii! I'll be leaving around 6pm sharp, okay?" I said as Vieve grabbed my hand and we ran to another table filled with drinks and desserts.
After chatting, eating and drinking, time flies and it was already 6 pm. After the goodbyes, I headed straight at the company and changed at the company's comfor room.
When I arrived at the Boss's room, I knocked first and waited for an answer before opening the door.
A man inside the office spoke. As I heard it, I opened the door and greeted him. He was signing some papers and arranging some file. I sat on my table and opened his schedule for tonight's meeting.
