THE DUET
The next day Angelica arrived at work and to her surprise, he was there...
'' Angelica" she heard Mr. Smith call out to her, "Yes sir?" she replied, "I don't know what you said to him but it worked, not only is he investing he has become a 50% shareholder. We are sure to succeed now!" Mr. Smith exclaimed excitedly. "Oh, what wonderful news..." she said trying hard to hide the sarcasm in her voice...
After her conversation with the manager was over she went over to the bar and order a drink, as it was still early the club was not open to customers yet. I can't believe he invested and became a shareholder, did he see the club's potential or was it something else he's after? He wouldn't waste that much money just to hit on me, would he? I'm sure he didn't become as successful as he is by basing business decisions on emotions...'
"Your right, I certainly didn't" she heard a deep voice right next to her, and then Seth sat down next to her. When did he get here I didn't even hear him approach? "Excuse me, how did you know what I was thinking?" she asked a bit annoyed. By this time she has noticed a pattern he always seems to know just what she is thinking, and she didn't like it one bit.
"It's kind of obvious, I can assure you this decision was pure business I have too many people counting on me to be so irresponsible with my hard-earned money," he said in his deep sexy voice. Dammit, I'm trying so hard to be cold but why does he have to be so sexy and irresistible...
Hearing these thoughts he nearly jumped for joy, "Mate finds us irresistible!" his wolf howled.
"So you have people depending on you?' Angelica asked in a soft tone, "Yes I do. Look I know the reputation I have as well as the rumors and how the media portrays me, but I can assure you I am nothing like that." he said in an earnest voice and angelica could sware she felt her heartache at these words.
Did I miss judging him because of my own prejudices? I mean I bearly know him... He seems cold from a distance but he's been so nice to me? "Here" she slid a card over to him with her number, finished the drink she had been drinking slowly throughout their conversation, got up without a further word, and headed backstage it was nearly time for the club to open and she needed to get ready...
Michel looked at his friend as he walked back over to him from the bar where he was chatting with Angelica. He had the biggest smile on his face like a little kid let loose in a candy store. "You seem happy?" "Incredibly, She gave me her number. It seems she doesn't hate me completely" Seth said all excitedly. "Of course, she doesn't the two of you are meant to be" Michel replied.
They were so caught up in their happy moment that they didn't notice the pair of eyes who were watching them from the shadows. "This is going to be interesting..."
Time skip to performance time.
"Were so glad you could come again tonight, Since it's Saturday we have the biggest crowd tonight. But maybe it's because it's duet night..." Mr. Smith said excitedly but soon regretted his word as a frown made its way on Seth's face and then the music started and Angelica walked out on stage with a blue-haired man. She was looking as beautiful as ever.
"When you were lonely you needed a man, someone to lean on I understand, that's only naturally but why did it have to be me?" the blue-haired man sang
"I was so lonesome, I was blue, I couldn't help it it had to be you and I always thought you knew the reason why. I only wanted a little love affair, but now I can see you are beginning to care, but baby, believe me, it's better to forget me." Angelica sang.
The two of them were sinning and having fun. They looked very close and Seth didn't like that one bit. How does he think he is to be singing and dancing with MY MATE. Does he have a death wish? Why does this song have to be so lovey-dovey? She should only dance with me...And why is she smiling so much she looks like she's having fun. uhhhhhh How long more till it's over I can't take much more of this.
Mr. Smiths' discomfort grew as the scowl on Seth's face hardened, his eyes completely focused on the seance before him. Noticing the situation Michele stepped in to ease the tension.
"Wow buddy, that look of yours could kill...but you better hope the clock doesn't strick 12 or you be stuck with it," Michel said in a playful tone, Seth chuckled a bit at his friend's words and loosed up a bit, allowing the manager to feel more at ease.
"I guess I'm going to have a talk with that guy after the performance!" Seth linked Michel, "Don't do anything rash, you know what could happen if she finds out. For all, we know it's just for show and they hate each other. Or they could just be colleagues or friends..." Michel tried to reason with Seth through the link. "When will the report on her be ready," Seth asked, "Tomorrow" Michele replied.
