Five Starz Hotel*
Julie Cortez eyes flinked as got a text from her stepsister May Cortez, she stared at the seven words that flashed on her screen
May: ( check room no 4505 for your birthday surprise)
Her brows knitted together slightly wondering whatever malicious act her stepsister would plan for such a special day
No doubt it wasn't something good
Her eyes searched around the crowds looking for her best friend Kiara Smith,she'd left after meeting her ex Mantis, and for some minutes ago
The young latter seems to be indulge on their conservation than any other topics, and had left her stuck with her girls club
Her hands slowly circled the glass of wine in her hands as her eager eyes darted toward the entrance door but all she saw was many of her co workers walking in with either a box of presents or empty handed
Julie left hand rested on the top stairs above the crowds and for what seems like a second she heaved a deep breath
She'd expected her bethroted Ashton Luke on this special day of hers, but barely even got a text from him
Was he that busy?
Earlier Ashton had called informing her of his sudden business trip at Los Angeles,his words were like a storm hitting her heart brick by brick shattered but she'd managed to wish him good luck
She knew him as a busy man ,He was after all the CEO of Luke cooperation society
And had no time dealing with petty things
But was this event petty for him too?
Julie Cortez couldn't help but wonder what type of guy would miss his girlfriend 's birthday party for a business trip
No
He probably had a reason
She thought positively sipping down the glass of wine down her throat
"What's a beauty like you doing up here" The sudden voice of a male jolted her from her throughts
Julie gaze landed on a male standing next to her few steps away although it was dark and only the reflection of the light downstairs shone on them she could have mistaken him for a model
He was on black tuxedos, his hands were tucked in on his pants pocket and his eyes were watching the party going on downstairs
Plus there was something about him that just made her stare more than she had expected
Yet she couldn't put her finger into it
Julie returned her gaze down to the party as a sudden thought suddenly cross her mind
Just before he ask
"What's the birthday girl doing here when the party 's just getting started...
Her steps halted to a stop as she turned back" have we met before? If we haven't then I'd suggest you either text my fan page that is if you 're fan, staying up here with the birthday girl, I could mistake you for a gigolo. I mean this 's a hotel after all, it's can't be a coincidence seeing you up here "
With that said, she left the stranger standing there
Julie Cortez entered an elevator pressing the hotel longe department number
She finally arrived facing the room number May 'd texted her
A look of hesitation flashed on her face as she reach out her hands for the door but unexpectedly found it open
Her eyes wielded as she overhead the moaning sound of her stepsister May Cortez from inside
She stepped forward only to hear the surprising voice of Ashton Luke
"Fuck, you 're so much better than your sister....
Julie hands trembled setting her eyes on the two figured of her bethroted Ashton Luke and her stepsister May Cortez
