“Why are you here?” Roaxana asked as she entered her office and sat on the chair. Her eyes fell upon the small bouquet of lilies, her favorite flowers.
“I’m sorry for the last night. I troubled you,” Ryan sincerely apologized to her.
“We already talked on the phone. You did not have to come,” she pronounced and picked up the file.
“You were angry at me, that’s why I came here, Ryan replied.
“I was in a hurry to be here. Thank you for these flowers,” Roaxana said, passing a fake
smile to him. “You should leave. Today is the college ball. You must prepare for it,” she
stated.
“It doesn’t have any meaning left,” Ryan remarked, recalling Natasha was longer with
him.
“Dude, grow up, okay? She cheated on you and you are still into her,” Roaxana threw her hands in the air in frustration. “You should find a partner and have the fun in the ball. Also, I’m aware that girls must be dying to dance with you,” she proclaimed and advised him to go to the ball, forgetting about his ex.
“Come to the ball with me,” Ryan said.
“Me?” Roaxana looked surprised. “Are you asking me for the ball?”
“Yep. If you will be free, then just ring me up. I’ll pick you,” Ryan stated.
“Sure,” Roaxana agreed to go with him to the ball if she would be free.
“I should leave since you are busy at work.” Ryan left the chair and thanked her for listening to his rants from the last night. He left her sight while Roaxana opened the file in her hand. Reading through it, she could not be able to focus on it.
“Did he not remember what he do last night to me?” Roaxana mumbled and again got annoyed. She placed the file back on the table and leaned back on her chair.
Roaxana was 17 when she first realized she started liking Ryan more than a friend. However, she could never get the courage to tell him her feelings because of the fear of losing her friend. Everything went well for years, making her believe she had completely moved on from her crush.
However, she was wrong. Last night when she sat close to Ryan, her heart beat the same way it used to long time ago. The same feelings for Ryan in her heart had resurfaced. It definitely worried her out, but at the same time, she wondered if it was again a chance.

for her to tell Ryan about her feelings.
“He never saw me as a woman,” Roaxana murmured and sighed. “Then, this is your chance. Since he asked you for the ball, you should grab it as an opportunity.”
Without wasting another second, Roaxana picked up her phone from the desk and called Logan. He didn’t answer her call initially, but then, a minute later, he called her
back.
“Speak,” Logan said.
“Where’s Hope? Is she going to the ball?” Roaxana asked.
“Yeah, she is,” Logan replied. “But why do you ask?”
“Give me her number. I need to talk to her,” Roaxana urged.
Logan hummed, “Check your message box. I’ll send it after the call hangs up.”
The call disconnected and Roaxana received Hope’s number. She called her while tapping her fingers on the desk. After a few rings, Hope picked up the call.
“Hello, Hope. This is Roaxana. I asked for your number from Logan. Are you at home? I’m coming to you,” she said with an enthusiastic tone.
“Uh… I’m outside, Sister Roaxana, at my friend’s house, Hope said and glanced at Gloria. “Is it something important?” she asked.
“Ryan invited me to accompany him to the ball. Given his recent breakup, I thought it would be nice to get ready together, but if it’s inconvenient, I understand. I’ll see you at the ball,” Roaxana explained.
“Just come over,” Gloria called out from behind. “And tell your sister-in-law to join us,” she added, directing her message to Hope.
“Sister Roaxana, please come over here. I’ll send you the address,” Hope interjected. “I’ll send it right away.”

Roaxana thanked Hope and hung up. She checked the up. Taking her bag, she informed her secretary she would not be at office for today and left. for Gloria’s home.
She already picked up a dress and matching heels for herself on her way. Roaxana didn’t either forget to buy a premium cookies set for Gloria since it was her first time visiting Hope’s friend’s house.
Upon reaching at her destination, Roaxana pressed the bell and awaited for the doors to open. A lady, who appeared to be the housemaid, opened the door for Roaxana.

“Please, this way, Miss Roaxana.” The lady led her way to the bedroom upstairs.
“You can go in. Young Miss and her friend are inside,” the lady opined.
“Okay, thank you,” Roaxana said and watched the housemaid leave. She knocked on the door and a loud voice from inside to come in. As she pushed open the door, she saw Hope on the bed while Gloria was checking out the outfits.
Hope immediately stood up and greeted her sister-in-law, She introduced Roaxana to Gloria.
“Are you the CEO of Rosy Cosmetics?” Gloria asked as she shook hands with Roaxana.
“Yes, I am,” Roaxana replied.
“Oh my G od! I use your makeup products. They are just amazing,” Gloria said with a bright smile. She was happy to meet Roaxana since she was an ideal to her.
“Thank you, Gloria. Here, this is for you. I couldn’t come empty handed since it is my first time here,” Roaxana politely said as she handed the paper bag with a box of cookies. inside it.
“Thank you for this.” Gloria smiled at her and told her to sit.
“So, girls, since I’m here, I’ll be going to give you both the best looks for tonight. Men should get crazy to see you two,” Roaxana said with a smile.
Both Hope and Gloria gazed at each other, feeling excited about it.
Logan looked at the time and saw it was already 7:00 p.m. in the evening. His meeting was still not over. He had thought he would make it somehow, but it went longer than usual with the board members of the company.
William noticed the discomfort on Logan’s face, pondering whether everything was well with him. Since William would soon step down as the chairman, this meeting was crucial for everyone.
Finally, after thirty minutes, the meeting was finally over. The board members were ready to leave after the Chairman would. Logan saw his grandfather off till the car and leaned down to the window.
“Is everything alright?” William asked him. “You looked worried,” he added.
“Yeah, everything is fine. It’s just Hope is at the ball and I’ve to be there,” Logan proclaimed.

“Then, you should hurry and leave,” William said with a smile.
“Yes, Grandpa!” Logan stepped back and watched his grandfather leaving in the car.
His car was ready for him. Logan took the keys from Paul and got into the car. He drove to Hope’s college as fast as he could.
The college was packed with students and well decorated for the ball. Since it was a masked ball, Logan was handed a mask by the usher at the entrance of the grand ballroom. He put it on and went ahead. He called Hope, but she didn’t pick his call.
His eyes scanned the surroundings, trying to locate Hope. Using his sensory skills, he recognized Hope’s scent among the huge crowd and his feet guided him toward her.
His feet came to a halt upon spotting Hope, standing with Gloria, smiling with her. That dress perfectly fit Hope and she looked mesmerizing in that. Logan could sense some predatory eyes of the men on his wife and he felt like ripping their eyes off.
Suddenly, a guy approached Hope and asked her if she would like to have a dance with him.
Hope was startled for a moment, feeling weird since she was married and not anyb*dy could ask her out for the dance now.
With powerful strides Logan walked to his wife and stood in front of her. “I’m here, Hope Moore,” Logan said, peering at her.
Hope raised her head, completely shocked to see her husband. A smile carved on her l*ps to see him, surprised by his presence in the ballroom.
“May I have a pleasure to dance with you, Hope Moore?” Logan asked as he extended his hand out.
