Laura had hoped that James would have come to pick her up to attend the company dinner but he had called her last minute to tell her that he was going to be late so she had to go with Jason instead.
She had been disappointed by the news but was immediately soothed when he said that he would meet her at the party. Laura got dressed to the nines as she knew that she was going to meet James. She could only lament that it was winter now and she could not dress up as she normally did.
She ended up wearing a long-sleeved green cocktail dress that served to further enhance the vivid colour of her green eyes and didn't forget to adorn herself with jewellery and even got a professional makeup artist to come and do her makeup at her home.
