In a few minutes I arrived at the company that was open from Monday to Saturday. I got out of the taxi and saw that the moment I stood in front of the company a woman arrived and got out of a Mercedes, she looked at me with a smile on her face. She was blonde with long hair, wearing a tight black dress and high heel shoes. She was accompanied by a thin man, who wore a white suit.

“You must be Luke Yunan. “ She smiled at me.

“Yes, and you must be Anne. “ I smiled back.

" Great pleasure. “We shook hands.

" Mine too. “ Anne smiled. “This is my secretary, Louis.

I waved to Louis and he waved back. So we entered the company, walking towards my office. I took the opportunity to introduce the place as we walked around and I noticed that she had a good impression of the place.

We arrived at my room, I opened the door for them to enter and we sat at a rectangular table. I stood facing Anne.

“Beautiful office” Anne commented, looking around, assessing the place.

" Thanks.

“I had already heard of you, Luke! That your events are great,” Louis commented with a smile, raising his nose.

" Thanks. “ I smiled back.

“Where are you again from? " he asked me.

“California” I replied and waited for what many people said.

Anne looked me up and down.

“ From the state where it’s full of Latinos, right!? For someone who comes from this place, you are very white. “ Anne looked at me in surprise.

I didn't even know what to answer, because I wasn't expecting that and when I wanted to comment, she kept talking.

“I'm from here, but my fiancé is from there too... “Anne stated, gesturing with her hand in the air. “He moved two years ago and yet we’re getting married.

“Cheers,” I said, still thinking about what she told me and lessening my sympathy for her.

“I don't know if it's short notice, but I want to set the date for the wedding in 3 months” she said naturally.

I stopped for a few seconds and nodded my head. Typically, people used to contact event organizers four or even five months before the wedding, so we would have time to take care of everything. As a wedding organizer, it wasn't just about organizing the room, but also about researching the best room that was suitable for the client, in addition to seeing the decorations, decorations and other things.

" Could it be? “She looked at me calmly.

“A little short notice, but I’ll find a way” I replied, picking up my busy schedule.

“Great, you will be paid well for this” Anne commented as if it were the solution to the problem.

“It's not just about the money, it's...

“Everyone says that, but we know that deep down everything is about money, after all, you can't live without money. “ Anne laughed and I just smiled back, not knowing what to say.

“So, this company contract, you can read, analyze and...

“No need, I’ll close the contract now! “ Anne smiled and signed the contract and handed it to me. " Done.

" Done. " I smiled. “I would appreciate it if you could send me what you like Helena had at your wedding, so I can prepare it and do my best to make sure the wedding is just how you like Helena!

“Yes, dear,” Anne stated. “My secretary will send you the list, everything is fine.

“Of course, it will be a pleasure and I hope it meets your wishes,” I declared calmly.

" I hope so. “ Anne smiled.

“So, have a great day. “ I got up and we said goodbye with a handshake.

I politely followed them to the door and they left, sticking their noses up even more. I didn't know why, but something told me that living with her wouldn't be easy, however, I liked my work and that wouldn't be an obstacle.

At nine o'clock at night, I was in front of the TV with a glass of wine, watching series, I loved series, however, I could also hear the noise from the neighbor and I had no doubt that there was a party, as I could hear music and voices. The building had rules about no noise pollution, yes, but on weekends they tolerated it until midnight. This made me remember that a few years ago, I didn't go to a party, because my work kept me busy, especially on Saturdays.

When you were an event organizer, you went to a lot of weddings, where there was a party, but it wasn't the same thing, as it wasn't fun, but a job, where you spent most of your time in stress, not to mention it was a party that you either liked or didn't have to go to, so I hadn't been to parties for many years. I mean that party that I like Helena to go to or even be my party, yes, I haven't had that in a long time.

At that moment a message arrived on my cell phone. When I opened it I saw it was from Anne, stating that she just sent the list for the event.

I confirmed that I received it and went to the table where I had left my laptop. I preferred opening emails through it, because of the screen size, especially when they were work related issues. I went to the email, opened the message and saw a huge list of things she wanted. The list was huge, I think there must have been more than 300 items that even I didn't understand why, for a one-day event, but anyway, it wasn't my wedding.

I had the patience and competence to read all the items, stressing myself out because I had little time. I would have to do everything in a hurry. I was so worried that I started making my connections to hold the event. I could have left it until the next day or Monday, but I was so anxious that I soon started sending emails to companies with partnerships. I was trying to concentrate, but with the neighbor's music, it wasn't possible.

I tried to ignore it and continued sending emails, thinking about how I was going to organize myself so I didn't even notice time passing, but the noise from the party next door certainly seemed like an eternity. Annoyed, I looked at the clock, saw that it was past midnight and I was outraged. How come I still heard voices coming from the neighbor's house. Determined and furious, I left my apartment and went to the door of 78. I took a few seconds of breath and rang the doorbell, no one answered. so I slammed the door bravely.

"Hey goodnight...

I saw a tall man in front of me. He was blond, dressed in a light blue t-shirt and dark blue jeans. His blue t-shirt highlighted his broad shoulders and strong arms. It was Jackson, who, when I saw him up close and in front of me, looked even more beautiful, but I was so upset that I didn't take that into consideration.

“Do you think you’re the only one who lives in this building? “I looked at him furiously and he looked at me blankly, as if he didn’t understand the reason for my complaint. I looked inside the house, seeing other people, but I didn't care. “You guys are too noisy!

“Sorry, the party ended up lasting a little longer, but...

“Yes, it’s past midnight,” I said in a bad mood.

“Calm down, girl, it's only been 5 minutes... “He looked at me indignantly.

“And you think it’s not enough? “I crossed my arms, looking back at him.

“Don't you think you're exaggerating?

“Just don’t disturb the neighbors,” I warned and left the place, returning to my apartment. Okay, I may have exaggerated, but he also exaggerated with the music, the least he would have done was end the party at the exact moment I knocked on the door. Minutes later, there was silence, I deduce, that the party finally ended.

Jackson

Are you sure I would have a neighbor like that? So annoying. Okay, I overdid it, but it was only 5 minutes and even the staff were already saying goodbye. If it were prolonged it would be another 15 minutes and nothing more. Yes, there were rules in the condominium, however, many exceeded a few minutes. I myself have heard the upstairs neighbor going overtime, but it was never a reason to complain. I sighed in frustration and her image came to mind. Her face with freckles next to her caramelized green eyes and her pink lips. Pretty yes, but boring as hell.

“Okay, guys, the party is over, it was a pleasure, see you later” I said to my friends, making a cutting gesture with my hand.

“Seriously, all because of that boring redhead? “said Claudia, one of the guests.

“Yes, new neighbor who seems to be annoying,” I said and looked at the clock, I saw that even though she had been rude, she was right. “The party is over.

My friends grumbled and I opened the door, allowing them to leave. I said goodbye to each one with a "hi five" and after everyone left, I sighed and closed the door. As soon as I did that, the image of the girl came to mind and I could still remember how grumpy she was, despite being quite pretty. I would ask for her contact information, if she weren't so insufferable.

Well, I looked at my apartment's living room and saw what a mess it was, but I was too tired to clean it up and do it tomorrow, with the help of Lucia, my daily cleaner who cleaned my apartment weekly. Thank God, she was one of the few day laborers who worked on Sundays, charging more, of course, but it made up for it because she was great.

I liked parties, yes, but above all I liked hygiene and if I could afford to pay a day laborer who cleaned almost every day why not, not to mention that she was my trusted employee for years. The condominium must have five or six daily cleaners because it is large, but only one cleaned my apartment.

Still in a bad mood, I went straight to my room and when I opened the door my dog ​​came to me excited and happy. Drug. He was a bulldog, the most beautiful big head I've ever seen. When I threw parties, I preferred to leave my dog ​​in the room, calmly, away from the noise and without the risk of him eating something he shouldn't have. I petted him and threw myself on the bed, tired and exhausted.
