Two

Veil trailed behind a group of young girls in mini-exposing dresses as they made their way through the entrance hallway. Under the blue lights, she could see a few couples making out, and hear groans and moans and soft music playing. The more they walked down the hallway, the louder the music got. Reaching the end of the hallway, she entered a place where the music was at its loudest. The room was more like a hall and was crowded. She stumbled upon a few insatiable love-making lovebirds, some drunks, coughed once and then twice at the choking smell of cigarettes. In less than five minutes, she was already regretting the decision she made in a state of excitement. Why didn't she just sit back and wait?

First time in a club and she was already hating the idea of it.

How was she supposed to find June in such rowdyism, and that too, with such lights?

As she moved around searching for June, a group of drunk dudes in the company of three drunk ladies quaked her

"Hey!" One of the guys screamed.

"Move! Out of the way, nerd!"

Veil heard them laugh and then one of the girls spoke next.

"Who dresses that way to a club?"

Veil accessed herself, she was still wearing the same cloth since morning. A pair of baggy jeans and a hoodie. She couldn't help but agree with the girl's question. Indeed, who wears such clothes to a nightclub? But she isn't here to party, she only came for her friend. As she turned to leave the scene, someone grabbed her ass, and with a deep husky voice, whispered into her ear...

"Hello! Magmosel!"

Outraged eyes popped out of their sockets as Veil turned around to see who the imbecile that had dared to assault her was.

The man was handsome and looked like yet another male model, he was wearing a rich business suit that complimented his features so well and had a sexy smirk on, but, Veil didn't care about all that. A sensible man never assaults a woman. With so much anger, she gave him a slap across the face. The man's face turned to one of displeasure in that instant. He was going to grab her by the wrist, drag her to his suit, and then punish her in a way that'd leave her traumatized for the rest of her life, but then, someone tapped him from behind.

"Mr. Rodriguez, you're here." A man's voice stated. "Please follow me."

The other man didn't have a choice but to follow him. Besides, this is the important business that had brought him to this place. He nodded and followed behind as the elderly man led him to a quieter room. On his way, he took a glance behind and realized that the woman was no longer there.

Under the red light, the two men talked. While the older man kept on quoting figures and numbers, Mr. Model's mind had traveled to another world entirely.

Someone dared to hit him. A woman at that...

When was the last time he had fun? He was going to have fun with this one.

"Mr. Rodriguez, are you with me? Mr. Rodriguez?"... The older man tried asserting in noticing the younger man's distraction.

"Let's do this some other time, shall we? I have more important business to take care of." Rising to his feet, the model concluded.

The older man was displeased to hear this, but, could he question a person who had the power to render him unemployed for life? So instead, he nodded in agreement.

"Do you want me to get you a woman for the night?"

"No, I already have eyes on someone." With that, he walked out in search of the woman from earlier, but, didn't find her.

Veil reached the apartment and surprisingly found it open.

"Where did you go to?" June's question welcomed her. "I've been worried about you."

"I went to the club to see if I could find you. How are you back this early and... undressed...?" Veil queried. She was concerned. June never returns from the club until morning. Did something happen?

"I didn't go to the club. Why did you go there to look for me? I only went to the store to get us something to eat. How in heaven's name was I going to leave you in such a condition?" June stared at Veil.

"Oh! I see..."

"Nahh! This wouldn't fit." Veil grumbled over a piece of blue dress. June picked out another, but she rejected it outrightly.

"That's way too exposing for work, don't you think?" She grimaced.

June picked out yet another, a red one.

"How about this?"

"That'd draw way too much attention." Veil frowned. June picked another dress that had a V opening at the back, down to the waist, and a slit on its sides. Looking at the dress, Veil stared dumbstruck at June.

"Really?" Veil queried.

"What? The dress is sexy." June argued

"It's a job interview I'm going for, not a club."

"I know that. Now, imagine a body like yours in a cloth like this. I'm sure the interviewer wouldn't have any choice but to...." June was saying, but Veil's disappointed glare at her interrupted her.

"You are not one of those who think that a woman has nothing else to offer asides from her body, are you? Do you not believe in my abilities, my potential, my Resume?" Veil queried.

June sighed, dropped the dress on the bed, and then walked over to Veil.

"I believe in you, Veil. I believe in your potential, your CV, and your capabilities. But, with all of those, you need a good dress as well. One that makes an impression. So that when you walk into that building, you'll remain confident until you step out. RM groups isn't just any place. If you don't dress well enough on your first day, you'd end up losing all of your confidence even before your interview." June told. "Now, having said all this, I think I know the best place to shop for a dress with both class and decency. Bills on me." She winked, and then pulled Veil out of the room.

They boarded June's BMW and June drove to a surprise destination.

June pulled over at a fancy dress Shop. She stepped out at the same time as Veil and they walked in together.

The Dress shop was filled with fancy dresses of assorted kinds. Dresses for formal wear and dresses for clubs, but in the vast shop, only a few shoppers were inside.

"This is an expensive dress shop, why are we here?" Veil thought.

"The bill is on me, so you can shop without having to worry about prices. Just pick the things you like. This is the only way I can assist since you don't want my help with dad."

Veil got emotional and pounced on June in a hug. June smiled and then hugged her back.

Snap back to last night when Veil had shared the good news with her friend. June had been so excited, almost more excited than Veil herself. She had popped a bottle of Spiritus Vodka and had almost turned the apartment into a nightclub. Speaking of which, Veil had gone to bed with the thought of the man at the club dangling at the back of her mind. Why was she suddenly craving to be touched? And that too by him.

Oh no! She wasn't having such dirty thoughts right now...."

"I'm done." Veil picked up the last of the items she had selected and they proceeded to make payments at the cashier's after which they made their way out of the boutique.
