SOME DAYS LATER= DELOITTE CONGLOMERATE***
“I finally found a good saloon for you Nina” Greg said talking to Nina on the phone smiling.
“Really?”
“Yes, just a little touch up and is done” Greg said.
“Aww thanks some much Greg, I really appreciate” Nina said.
“You don’t have to thank me. Seeing you happy is what I live for. So when will you be coming back, I’ve missed you like ¢razy”.
“Pretty soon Greg. And I miss you so much too” Nina said and Greg smiles.
“I’ll talk to you later Greg, I’m kind of busy… I love you” She said and ended the call.
Greg sighs pocketing his phone. “She’s taking so long to come back” He muttered and he sees Velvet coming out from her office.
He wanted to avoid her, but Velvet saw him before he could leave.
“Greg”
Greg press his lips against each other before turning to look at her.
“Good afternoon ma’am” He greeted.
“Where you trying to avoid me?” Velvet asked.
“No ma’am, I remember I had something to do that’s why I wanted to leave” Greg said.
“If that the case you should go ahead then” Velvet said smiling at him.
Greg nods and turns to leave, he hasn’t walked far when he heard a sound, he turns behind him and sees Velvet lying unconscious on the floor.
“Ma’am!” He said rushing to where Velvet was.

HOSPITAL***
“Why’re you starving yourself?” The doctor asked Velvet when she woke up, Greg was there with her.
“You look rich, which means money isn’t the problem, so why’re you starving yourself Miss velvet?” The doctor asked again.
“That’s because I don’t always have the time to cook a proper meal. I’ve a lot of piled up files, which I always need to sort out” Velvet said.
“Being hardworking in terms of your job is good, but don’t joke with your life Miss Velvet” The doctor said and Velvet nods.
“Will she be okay?” Greg asked and Velvet looks at him.
“Yes she will. She just needs to eat a proper meal and rest” The doctor said.
“Alright Dr. I’ll keep that in mind” Greg said and the doctor leaves.
“You should go home and rest Ma’am” Greg said.
“I don’t need rest Greg, I’m okay”.
“No you’re not, your not the only one working for Vince Wendell, so why are you stressing yourself so much?” Greg asked.
“That’s because I worked so hard to get my position, I can’t be query for being lazy”.
“Only a breathing human being gets to work and keep her position”.
“But….”
“Just wait here ma’am, I will go get your car from the company”
“You know how to drive?”
“Simply because I don’t own a car, doesn’t mean I can’t drive. Where’s your car key?”.
“In my office”.
“I’ll be back” He said and leaves.
“He’s so nice” Velvet muttered and smiles.

VELVET’S APARTMENT***
Greg helped Velvet to lie down on the bed and he couldn’t help but admire how beautiful her house is. It was beautiful and well lavished with money.
*Someday I’m going to afford an apartment like this for I and Nina* Greg said inwardly smiling.
“Thanks for bringing me home Greg” Velvet said. Greg looks at her and smiles.
“Are you hungry? I’ll prepare something for you”.
“You can cook?”
“Of course I can. So what do you want to eat, I can prepare any kind of meals”.
“Including Taiwan dishes”
“Taiwan?”
“Yes. I’m Taiwanese, and ever since I began working and living in Chicago, I haven’t eaten Taiwan homemade meal”
“What kind of homemade meal?” Greg asked.
“Taiwanese spicy beef noodle soup” Velvet said salivating already, Greg smiles.
“Is that what you wanna eat” He asked and Velvet nods her head like a baby.
“Alright, I’ll prepare it for you” Greg said.
“You can?”
“Yes. My Aunt is from Taiwan, so is a given. Where’s your kitchen, left or right?”
“Left” Velvet answers smiling and Greg leaves.
In no time, he was done cooking and he dished it out for Velvet.
“Is so yummy. Thanks a lot Greg” Velvet said smiling.
“Your welcome ma’am”
“Just call me Velvet”
“Huh?”
“We’re friends right? So just call me Velvet”
“I can’t do that, your of a higher position than I’m. I am just a janitor while your the directing manager of Vince Wendell’s company”.
“Then call me Velvet anytime we’re together. Outside the company I’m not your boss, so just call me by my name anytime we’re not at work, ok?” Velvet said smiling.
Greg smiles lightly. “Okay Ve… Velvet”
“Yeah, call me Velvet” Velvet said cutely and Greg smiles. He got a text message from the interior designer in charge of decorating Nina’s saloon.
“I have to go Velvet, there’s something I need to check on”.
“Alright Greg. Thanks for being of help”.
Greg smiles lightly and leaves. Velvet eats and smiles.
“He sure knows how to cook. Wait, does he love me? Is that why he’s being so nice to me?” Velvet said and squeals happily.

EMPIRE HIGH***
Dylan enters the class and almost bumped into Desiree.
“Are you all right?” He asked.
“Yes I’m fine” She said and was about leaving, but she stopped and face him. “Dylan” She said and Dylan looks at her.
“The kss that happened between us is nothing, okay? It was just a mistake, you shouldn’t take it to heart”.
Dylan smiles.
“Why? You think I like you?” Dylan asked.
“Well I don’t know if you like me, but I like someone else”.
“I don’t like you Desiree. I was just teasing you during our outing together, because you were the only one without a boyfriend, and the kss… Is nothing” Dylan said.
“That’s a relief then. And beside your engaged to Barney”.
“But that doesn’t mean I like her”.
“Then are you going to spend the rest of your life with someone you don’t like?”.
Dylan looks at her and smiles.
“Of course not Desiree. The only thing I can allow my parents to control me on, is going for med school”.
“Meaning?”
“I know I’m afraid of my Parents, but I’m only accepting to be Barney’s fiance because I haven’t seen the girl I like”.
“What’s your kind of girl?”
“I don’t know. Guess my heart is really made of stone” Dylan said and Desiree smiles.
“I use to say that before, but here I’m having feelings for my childhood friend. As long as your a Human, you can’t escape love”.
“Then maybe I’m a va.mpire” Dylan said and Desiree laugh.
“I think your a vam.pire, maybe that’s why your so white skinned”
And both laugh.
Barney sees them together and anger rage inside of her. Without thinking, she went to where Desiree was and sI.aps her.
“How dare you flirt with my fiance!!!” Barney yells.
“Did you just sI.ap me?”
“Yes I did and I’m going to……”
Barney was cut short by a thunderous sI.ap from Desiree, she didn’t wait for Barney to recover from the slap, when she slaps her again. Barney falls to the floor.
“How dare you sI.ap me!!!!” Barney screams.
“Talk again, and I’ll give you a slap that we turn your face to the back. And FYI, I’m not flirting with your fiance and I have better things to do” Desiree said and walks away.
Dylan without saying a word to Barney tries to leave, but Barney blocked him.
“You aren’t going to do anything”
“Do what?”
“That girl slap me, and your just going to let it slide”.
“You sI.apped her first, right? So she made you taste the bitter taste of your own medicine”.
“Dylan why’re you doing this to me? You have never laugh and talk to me, but your always talking and laughing with other girls. I’m your fiancee for crying out loud, so why can’t you be nice to me”.
“Isn’t it obvious to you already? I don’t love you Barney. I’m just being forced to be engaged to you” Dylan said.
“But I love you Dylan, l love you so much” Barney said with tears dropping down her eyes.
“I can’t bring myself to love you Barney. Your just too difficult for me to love. I have tried so many times but this heart of mine can’t love you. If you choose to get married to me, you will be the one to suffer it Barney, Cuz you will never be happy with me” Dylan said and walks away.
Barney falls to the floor crying her eyes out
