Chapter Sixteen

Cierra

I pulled on a pair of black heels to complete the look and fluffed my hair in the mirror. I had to admit I looked pretty damn good, and I didn’t have to use most of my paycheck for it, lucking out by finding the dress at Nordstrom’s Rack. The minute I saw the black tulle cocktail dress with a spattering of crystal beading, I loved it. When I saw it was backless, I had to have it. I wanted to look awesome for the launch since so many high-profile people were going to be there.

Yeah… I didn’t think that was very convincing.

I hated to admit it, but I’d bought the dress to wow the hell out of Trace. For the past week, I’d acted like I didn’t care whether I saw or talked with him, but the truth was it was the longest week I’d had since I started working at Velocity. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hurt by Trace’s indifference. So what did I do about it? I bought a sexy, in-your-face dress to show him that I didn’t give a damn if he wanted to ignore me. I only wished Cory could’ve come with me to really show Trace I didn’t care.

I pulled out a few tendrils from my upswept hair, swiped on dark, wine-red lipstick, and grabbed my satin clutch. A final glance in the mirror assured me that I at least looked the part of assistant director of marketing, even if I was beyond jittery at that moment. The phone buzzed on the countertop. Perfect timing. I grabbed it and checked to see who was calling me—the cab had arrived. Sliding on my black cashmere cape, I opened the door and walked out.

On the ride to the Four Seasons, butterflies danced the samba in my stomach. I would be under a microscope by the press, the stockholders, the board of directors, and a ton of other people who had money and influence in the business community. Everything I’d worked for over the past few months culminated in that one night.

There was an air of excited tension as I entered the ballroom. The team and I had managed to pull off the launch of the year, and a thread of pride and satisfaction wound around me. Heads turned to look at me, and a woman rushed up to take my cape. Scooping a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and taking a sip, I looked around. Yeah, this was exactly what I’d pictured all those months before when we’d started planning this event.

It looked like some kind of fancy post-awards show party, with everyone dressed impeccably and mingling easily. The booze and food were flowing, and the phones were set up under little glass display cases, giving the impression of some ancient and important artifact that wasn’t for the consumption of the general public—yet. Those glass cases would slide down later in the night and allow guests to play with the new phones.
