August~

Everyone gathered in the meeting room. He wasn't nervous about this presentation but he glanced to Serenity. She fumbled with her hands, her face worried. "As you can see, the structure of the building is to be 3,000 feet tall and 1,245 feet wide, the building also has bulletproof glass and is provided with park. It's spacious and very valuable. It is one of the most in style and unique building that this company has ever created. You are some of the best investors and I know that you'll make the right decision and take part."

With that he finished, "I'll buy this building from you." One man says, "You're right, this building is worth a lot and making money on brilliant ideas is what I do, I am in." August smirked, "Brilliant choice." After that hands went up and the money started rolling in. "Mr. Armstrong, who was the amazing person to create this?"

Serenity stood in the corner looking so timid. August called for her. "This is the amazing woman, Serenity Priddie." The man smiled at her shaking her hand. "Beauty and talent, that's hard to find these days. I hope you plan on keeping this one, with such talent, someone is bound to snatch her up for better opportunities."

She smiled at the man, "Thank you for the compliment, sir." He walked away smiling. "He's right, how would you like to become part of this company, Ms. Serenity?" She gasped. "Of course, sir! Thank you!" He nods. "I think this deserves a celebration, don't you think?" Serenity nods, "Most definitely." He smiled at her. "Perfect, I'll pick you up at your home, dress lovely, as usual." She looks down nodding. "Yes sir."

"You can bring your friend as well." Serenity nods getting up. "You also begin work on Tuesday, see you then." With that he walked out the room.

Serenity~

She rushed home and called her mother to only have her father answer the phone.

"Yellow?" His deep, gruff voice spoke, she smiles more. She was always a daddy's girl.

"Daddy! Dey like muh drawin' I so happy eh" ( Daddy they like my drawing, I'm so happy)

Her father laughed, "Ent yuh mouda say you coudda do it? I doh know why you doubt yourself, yuh talented." She smiled. (Didn't your mother say you could do it? I don't know why you doubt yourself, you're talented)

"Tanks" she says softly. (Thanks)

"You doh have to tank me, is de trute."
(You don't have to thank me it's the truth)
"Well I have tuh go now, I gonna sleep, later, love you" ( Well I have to go, I'm gonna sleep, later, love you)

"Love you to and ah go tell yuh mouda." He hangs up and goes to he room sleeping. ( Love you too and I will tell your mother?

5 Hours Later~

Serenity felt someone shaking her and she swatted them away. "Serenity, wake up! Trey called and said that he'd be here to pick you up!" Her eyes shot open. "Shit!" She rushes to the bathroom and took a shower. "Ok, what's going on? why is he coming for you?" "Party and you have to come with me! Get in here and bathe cause we'll be late and we take long as hell to get ready."

Trey~

He hops out the car looking at the apartment. He sighs going up to her door knocking. "Just one minute!" I smiled hearing her voice. He wanted to be a bother to them and knocked again. "I said wait, you dick head!" He laughs quietly. "Nae! Don't be rude!"

This woman is unbelievable, I could have been her landlord.

The door opened and I came face to face with Naeun in the most beautiful dress. It fit her body perfectly.

He had no words for how she looked. Her hair done perfectly. She looked at him. "Is there something on my face? Fix your damn face." She rolled her eyes grabbing her jacket. "Oh! Sorry." He sighs. That was so smooth. Trey looked up and saw Serenity and smiles. "You look amazing, Serenity." She smiles, "Thank you." He glanced seeing that Naeun had this look on her face but she cleared her throat. "Come on we don't want to be late." She turned making her hair twirl and walked away making her hips move. The things he thought about doing. Trey followed her to the car as they all hopped in and drove off.

August~

He paced as his mother greeted her friends and their daughters. He sighs. "This is my son, August Armstrong." She came up to him smiling and her eyes demanded him to speak to the young lady. He groans internally knowing his mother won't leave him be. He put a fake smile on his face praying that Trey would come fast.

He finally got away from his mother and sighs. Where are they? He wondered. Then the hall got quiet. "Uh, who are you?" He stuck his head out and saw Serenity, the woman that was in the center of attention and she didn't look to comfortable. Trey took off her coat and he forced himself to stay put.

Jesus, he smiles walking to her. Girls looked at her with envy and men gave her lustful and it didn't help when her friend showed what she had on. Wolf whistles everywhere. "Son, who's that?" His father asked. "That's the lady that made my sketch and she's here to celebrate with me tonight." He smirks, she may not like or agree with him but if she wanted to have a job then she had to do it. "Oh! What a talented woman, more talented than the women your mother got for you." His father chuckled with that one and so did he. He took a breath in  smiling going to Serenity hugging her close leaving everyone in the room slightly shocked and confused.

"Baby, I'm glad you reached here safe"

Everyone gasped.

Serenity~

Her heart pounded, Baby?! She looked at him, her eyes wide. His eyes held something and it scared her. If she didn't go along with it she may loose her job or even worse. She placed a smile on her face. "I'm fine, handsome, it was slight traffic, nothing to worry about." He nods turning to his mother smirking. "Mother this is my beautiful lady, Serenity Priddie. We've been seeing each other for a while and I thought it was time for her to be introduced.

His mother was more than shocked. "Are you sure that she's the one for you? I mean..."

She was cut off by Serenity. "Ma'am if I may, your son loves me so why try get in the way of that? Is it because I'm not rich like them or is it my skin colour?" His mother shook her head. "Oh goodness no! I'm just surprised! Nothing to do with your skin or wealth." His mother rushed out then cleared her throat. "Well let's congratulate the couple and have fun!" The party continued.

August held her hand taking her to the patio. She looks at him. "What was that about?"

He sighs "I couldn't do it anymore with my mother wanted the perfect woman for me and those girls are money greedy, I am not marrying them." He sighs. "Then what now? What are we gonna do?" She asked. "We have no other option." He looks at her.

"You have to date me."
