11 Chapter 10. A Visit At The Blacks! (1/2)

This is so not happening.

This is so not fudging happening.

Oh! But it was really happening! Vanessa scowled at the sight of her vibrant light blue dress, not because it was not beautiful.

Nope, that's not her nature.

It was because the dress was absolutely gorgeous, with those netted sleeves with flower borders, and the swirling flare skirt, that reached just her knees, which she was forced into.

Just because it was a night at the Black's....

A dinner celebration! The result of the deal signed between the two rivals! A grand celebration!

....and Nathaniel was going to be there.

Everything was once again settled between her father and Uncle Glen, once she had blabbered out the whole truth, starting from the anonymous job application, to the fake resume and then her wish, which could only be fulfilled if she agreed to her mother's condition.

Vanessa even put an option to resign!But he refused! So now, she was officially, with the permission of the big boss, a part of The Black's Corporations!

.... and she had just sorted out this situation when another situation befalled her!

The Grand Celebration!

Oh the joy she felt made her gag!

”Vanessa! Hurry up! We are getting late!” Her mother chirped with excitement as she called from downstairs, as if she didn't know anything.

Well, she did know about the asthmatic attack, and calmed down after her uncle assured her of her wellness.

But she have no clue about what happened at the Meeting!

She didn't not know about the f - affair, Nathaniel indulged himself in with his PA, before the meeting!

She didn't know about the trust, she had laid in Nathainel, when she had spilled everything about her.

She didn't know about the large bite on Nathaniel's neck!

She didn't know about the heartbreak and pain she had gone through, when he played with her emotions!

She didn't know!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ride to the Black's Residence didn't last long and Vanessa could feel her throat constricting at every step they take towards the beautiful mansion.

Sapphire Jones had avoided Nathaniel Black's entire dominating presence, which included handling files and forms, via email and with human contact between them limited to, unless it's important. Very important.

And Vanessa, had ignored every message, every phone call and didn't dare listen to any of his voicemails. She had given that fudging shoothole, a taste of his own bitter medicine.

But, now him being, what looked like 20 steps away, she could feel her mind fogging with insecurities.

What if Cathy was here? As his date?
