Ashley's pov

I have never known that finding a date would be that hard.

I was continually whispering and glancing at Amelia, she was doing everything under her spell to make things work.

She was tapping her foot and was about to collapse the whole furniture of the cafeteria when her eyes met with mine with the glinting light that was hard to crack.

"I have an idea," her eyes became wider, of course, something is up in her mind.

"And that is?" I raised an eyebrow.

Yes, I was dying to find the hidden agenda behind her plum face, but she didn't say anything instead she jerked her apron, and grabbed my hand only to make me realize we were not on the inside of the cafeteria anymore, we were running on the streets, my almost crumbling figure was hard to catch, though I need to find a date and to that there will be no delay.

Amelia was continuously blabbering her empty thoughts and I was on her trail following her wherever she was going. Her long strides were hard to catch when the city was not engulfed in the dark.

All the tall buildings were shining high on the roads, pretty much surviving the same clusters of thoughts as I had.

I heard the chattering noise, then in a swift second, I found myself outside a pub.

She was stomping her leg impatiently in a thrifting manner to find any way to get in there.

As  I peeked inside, I found there were too many boys and girls who were enjoying their life to the fullest.

There were some decent men's too and maybe that's why we are here? Because here in this place we are not going to just find out any businessman who can torment us with their wealth of power.

"Shh come here," Amelia directed me to come, so I pushed myself to find my way in the sheering crowd to her.

As we entered inside we saw the huge get together of several people, there was too much hustle, and it was hard to recognize anything. The music was too high, most of them were busy hooping on the music beats, some were lurking at the bar side, holding drinks in their hands, and at that duration, I realised that time when I got in trouble with Mr Jensen ahead of paparazzi.

Somehow, here the crowd doesn't seem prudent, this somehow relaxed my nerves a little bit. As my pondering heart was too occupied with getting lost to the beats tonight.

"Now, we are going to find a man for you," she looked at me. Her eyes were as wide as crystals stone.

And her frivolous smile made shimmer all the lights inside the club. There was too much noise, still, I was able to comprehend to her," but how?" My eyes were roaming everywhere inside the room to land my resting existence upon.

"Just do as I say and follow me," she again started striding her long legs to the next platform where the counter was set.

I looked up to all the boys I have never met before. Or to the man I have never had the guts to land my eyes upon. They all were shining bright as they were the crystals of the whole damn sky.

"Now, Ashley, come on go in the middle of the crowd and show us your sexy moves," she abruptly shouted, while making almost ten people look at me with smirks on their faces.

And in no matter of time, my name was getting cheered ahead of thousands of men and women who were looking at me with their glistening eyes, some were smirking, some were laughing.

"Are you mad, ?" I hissed at her, she is indeed a man woman!

I need to talk some sense to her, that she can't do this much easier and this isn't the right way!

However, when I thought of speaking some sense to her she neglected and crawled up to the nearby table and started shouting my name once again while keeping her hands high on the air.

What is she high on something?

I rolled my eyes at her melodrama, and there was no way I am going to do this. So will these good for nothing men lure at me as I am their prey. And this woman's who will laugh at me as I am their abundant ghost of the storm.

Ashley Brooke, remember if you didn't find any date, that will be breaking off the rule code, and you have no choice, you can't get kicked out from Jensen's Industries.

So, maybe I had to do what I hate the most!

When my name was causing me chills to get high with the air, I heard the music and then the song came.

All dressed up you're good to go

Checkin' your style from head to toe

Hooked up and natural

You're feeling beautiful

9 times out of 10 you know

Late night club like a video with the

Hot stuff top stuff we got stuff oh

That's my favourite song! I always adore the blue band and when this song came I got ballistic, my waist started moving to the beats and my mind got blown up. I thought I was in the rock concert of blue and they were singing this song just for me.

What a night (night) so far (far)

Pullin' up curb side in your car (your car)

What a sight (sight) you are (are)

Think I know somewhere we can park

After dark

I can hear the loudness of my name getting more and more, as the hoop sync in me, and then boom! I was at the table spinning my head to the song, my mouth went thirsty and dry and before I knew it I was drinking a glass that was full of drink a which I have never thought I would do in my life.

My feet were not wobbly anymore, I could feel all the New York City buildings lurking at me and bowing to me for my outspoken performance. I was not the same girl anymore. I was the bird of the sky who just wants to fly high with this song.

System up with the top down

Got the city on lockdown

Drive-by in the low ride

Hands high when we fly by

I pretended I was the bird of the free universe and started doing the steps, then I felt everyone around me were following my steps, I was their role model until my head got bumped into someone's chest.

The face looks very familiar.

"Ms Ashley Brooke," only one man had the guts to call me by full name with this much authoritative tone.

But I couldn't see his face. His figure was tall and dark as Mr Jensen was standing by himself ahead of me.

His hands were on my waist, as he was caging me from all the crowd and then- when I was just about to see his eyes in the shadow of the moonlight to make sure if he was- Mr Jensen, then never happened!

I saw more men's approaching me with a smirk, and at that time I forgot about everything, maybe I am too drunk that I am hallucinating.

System up with the top down

Got the city on lockdown

Drive-by in the low ride

Hands high when we fly by

I was flashing my ways, oh hips moving and hands flying high until it became too exhausted I think I need to drink some water otherwise I will. get burn!

I tried my way to get out of there to find some fresh air, and some clean water before I pass out, but I couldn't those men was hovering me all over.

"Hey, chick, show us your moves!"

"Hey, chick, your place or mine?"

"Hey, chick comes with me,"

And I wanted to punch all of them over and over again with my thrilling head that was going to explode soon, then I realise my head was spinning in another direction, I tried to punch one of them but I lost my target and bam! He had grabbed my hand now, intertwined his filthy hands with mine until I was barely able to breathe.

"Get off me now! You perv!" I tried to tell but they were all smirking at me. My head started spinning again until I heard the familiar voice reaching into my ears once again, "get off from the girl you bastard!"

John Steward was standing tall with his mischievous eyes calling my name over and over again.
