Type. Type type.
Once in a while, the dark-haired young woman keeps glancing on the clock. Almost 5 o'clock already. She promised her friends to meet them in Club Revon at 6 o'clock, the lesbian club that they usually hang out together. She only got one hour to go home to change and get ready.
Ding. Ding. Ding. It's 5 o'clock already.
Erin saves her work, shut down the computer and start gathering her belongings and ready to get home. She walks towards the elevator, press the down button and patiently waiting for the door to open. Suddenly, she feels someone approaching her from behind.
"Going home?" said that person.
"I'm not talking to you, Florence," reply Erin without looking at the beautiful young woman who's standing slightly on her right side.
Florence is Erin's co-worker who recently becoming her boss after getting promoted. At the age of 30, she is the youngest person to ever be promoted to CEO in that company.
Florence is Erin's senior, who had been working in the company for five years before Erin comes along. When Erin starts working there, Florence had become her mentor. She helped her with her work and socially by getting her to get along with other workers. Because of their age difference that not so far apart, they become best friends.
"Erin, I'm sorry if I offended you. You are my friend. I don't want you to get hurt," said Florence softly while trying to touch Erin's right hand but Erin pulled away just in time.
"Well, YOU hurt me. You never trust me when it comes to romance. I broke up with THREE girls because you said they are not good for me," said Erin almost yelling.
"Not this time. I love Julia. I'm not giving up on her," said Erin again.
"She's capable of hurting you. Physically. And mentally too," She looks really concerned and her eyes almost teary.
"I trust her, Florence. I don't think she will ever hurt me," said Erin. Her voice softened.
"You can use the elevator. I'll take the stairs," said Erin and hurriedly walk away and left Florence alone.
5 hours earlier
After sending the paperwork to Herman, Erin returned to her desk. It had been a long week, works keep piling up every single day and finally today she will be able to breathe.
Erin and her group of best friends decided to meet up that night. It had been weeks she last met them. She had been busy hang out with her new girlfriend, Julia whom she met after a road accident.
Six weeks ago, Erin was late to work so she drives like a devil out of hell. Driving while texting to Florence to tell her about her lateness, she didn't see the red lights and didn't realize that the car in front of her is stopping.
BANG. Comes the loud crashing sounds.
Erin was terrified. First of all, that is one expensive car that she hit. Second of all, she hit it so bad that she thought she might kill someone. Third of all, she don't think she can afford to pay for that damaged. And the last one, she knows that she will be REALLY late to work that morning.
Surprisingly, the driver of that Mercedes-Benz GLA250, who seems to be fine after the crashed is the one who comes to Erin to apologize to her. She said that she should never stop the car and just beat the red light.
"Is she stupid?" thought Erin.
Looking at the driver of that damn gorgeous car, Erin realizes that the driver is also wickedly gorgeous.
A few inches taller than Erin, the driver have a shoulder length red- haired, piercing green eyes and some freckles on her pretty face, she's wearing blue tight work suit with tight black short skirt and black high heels. She is tall and slender with small breast. Probably 36A and a cute tight ass. With a body like that, she can pass as a model.
She doesn't know what comes into her, but Erin frankly asking that drop dead gorgeous driver to be her girlfriend without knowing her sexual orientation or even her name.
Adding to her surprise that day, that drop dead gorgeous female driver agreed to become her girlfriend and ask her for a date that night. They even move in together after a week.
Later, she learned that the beautiful driver's name is Julia de Cruz. She is 28 years old, four years older than Erin. She owns the biggest toys company. Kids' toys. Not adults'. She is super rich that she doesn't mind about the car. Besides, she has three more of the same car and many more whatsoever.
Erin snapped back to reality and realized that she had spent ten minutes day dreaming.
It's almost lunchtime. Florence had asked Erin to have lunch together. She knows that Florence probably wanted to talk about the incident that happened last week.
When she arrived at The Corners, the famous eatery near their company, she spotted Florence immediately because of her red suit. She is sitting at one of the table outside. That place is not so crowded today thought Erin.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Just finished the last paperwork," said Erin while taking a seat opposite of Florence.
"It's okay. I've just arrive by the way," reply Florence. The waitress comes to take their orders. When the food came, they ate quietly until Florence broke the silence.
"Hey, Erin. Do you remember my friend, Abby?" asked Florence.
"Yeah. What about her?" asked Erin back without looking up from her lunch. How can she not remember? Abby ruined her date with Julia.
"She said sorry ," reply Florence before she went quiet while still looking intently at Erin.
"What do you want to tell me exactly, Florence?" asked Erin when she sensed that her best friend still have some unfinished business.
" Well...,"Florence take a sip of her orange juice before continuing after putting the glass back on the table.
" You see, after what she did to Julia, I was as upset to her as you do. So, we don't talk to each other the whole week until she message me last night," Erin stops eating. Now she's paying fully attention to Florence.
"She told me that her older sister used to date Julia and Julia is not someone who you think she is," said Florence.
Erin's face turned sour.
"Of course she will say that. That's what her sister told her. Anyone will believe that their sibling is not at fault in a failed relationship," said Erin sounds a little bit angry.
"No. You don't understand. I know Abby's sister. I've seen what Julia capable of doing. She was hurt so bad. Her family managed to save her just in time. She's not the same person anymore now. Always scared and crying all day," said Florence sadly.
