章節 4: Chapter 4
Violet jerked up from the ringing she heard she wasn't sure from where but she wanted it to stop. She twisted and turned unwilling to stand up from bed. The sun had come up and the rays were shining bright in her eyes. She blocked them with one hand while she used the other to rub her eyes open.
Then it hit her. She was not in her apartment; she had a man's shirt on and she had no memory of how she got there. She stared at the alarm on the bedside table. 8:50. She was late for her presentation with Lauren and she didn't know where she was. She dropped down from the bed and searched the room for her clothes which she saw on the chair at the far end of the luxurious room. She grabbed her jeans and tried hard to slip them on.
"You're awake" She gasped as she heard a deep husky voice behind which made her turn around. He was leaning on the doorframe with his hands in his sweatpants pockets. He was tall and brawn. He was without a shirt which made Violet quite uncomfortable. He was barefoot and his skin was olive shine and glowed under the morning rays. His smile was electric. He was a lot more handsome than Matt.
"Uhhh Ya but I've got to be on my way uhhh…." She pointed at him for a moment trying to remember his name.
"Chris"
"Yes, Chris. You saved me from that asshole last night." She smiled after finally getting her jeans on. She looked at the time again and grabbed her clothes "I gotta go" She moved past him and down the hallway.
"Wait! You want me to get you some water or coffee or juice or breakfast?" He yelled after her as she practically ran through the living room searching for her shoes. She found them and sat on the couch to slip them back on.
"Sorry I have to go" She looked at his shirt on her "And I'm going to have to leave with your shirt"
"That's okay" He grabbed his phone and speed-dialed an uber. She walked past him and started to look for her stuff around the penthouse apartment which appears a lot more beautiful than it was the night before. Not like she could remember.
"Wait, will I see you again?" He asked as they were by the elevator.
"Look I don't think so isn't that how a one-night stand works?"
"Technically it is yes. But we didn't do anything and I had fun"
"Really?"
"Well yes we didn't do anything"
"We didn't?"
"Yes, you just basically vomited in the toilet and told me all about your ex-boyfriend Matt great guy by the way so I carried you to the bed and you went into blissful sleep" the elevator doors opened up and she entered. "So, can we?"
"I'm sorry we can't' this is already a very compromising situation for me and I just got out of a bad break up and I don't want you to be a rebound or something. Plus I am way too embarrassed right now. Thank you though" the elevator doors closed. She leaned against the wall of the elevator and sighed.
"I trust your floozy wasn't that interesting now that you are working out intensively at your gym this early" Nick his British friend stated as he entered and found him lifting weights at his gym.
"It wasn't floozy and we didn't have sex" He placed the dumbbells in place and stood up to grab a towel.
"Well, that's a shame. I was hoping you'll get some action after such a long time" Chris walked out of the gym and Nick followed him behind. He opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of water.
"We had a lot to drink and she…"
"She what Chris?"
Chris started towards the stairs "Vomited and passed out" Nick burst into fits of laughter.
"See why I didn't want to tell you. I knew this would be your reaction" He sipped from the bottle of water again and started up the stairs.
"Sorry, it's just that you are pathetic. Well, I came down to drop off your car and the keys" He was about to leave when he noticed a black feminine jacket on the couch. "Your floozy forgot something" He raised the jacket to face Chris and threw it his way. He caught it and studied the jacket.
"She must have forgotten it as she was in a hurry to leave"
"Well that's nice I have got work to do so I will be on my way" He dropped the keys on the counter and walked out of the house.

The elevator dinged and the doors opened up and Violet ran as much as her legs could carry her. She went to the conference room for the presentation and no one was there. She went straight back to Lauren's office. She was in her office squeezing a ball which she does when she is stressed and that was not a good sign for her.
"Lauren I am sorry about today…"
"Shut up and get out, you are fired!"
"Lauren please I beg of you please don't fire me. I have worked on your desk for three years and I really can't lose this job I will never become an agent and someday make a partner please"
"I gave you one job and you couldn't even do it right. I lost my job today and now it will take me a long time to find a partner. I've been here for four years of my life and this is it for me. And all for my PA. Get out of my office. Here is your paycheck for the next month." She handed her an envelope and
Violet took it and walked out of the office. She took a box and cleared her desk before walking out. She called a cab and got in and told the cab driver her address. She got into her apartment and law face down on her bed. Tears trickled down her cheeks. This was the worst week for her. First, she loses her boyfriend to an Instagram hoe and now she loses her job. She embarrasses herself in front of a stranger by vomiting and passing out just before she had sex. Things were not going so well for her at this point. She sighed and went to her kitchen and pulled out a tin of peanut butter ice cream and a bottle of vodka. She changed into sweatpants and a large shirt and sat on her couch crying.
