They were having girl talk at a coffee shop. Beverly and Joanna looked horrified by the time Selena finished telling them about her Christmas at the Hudsons.
“Ugh, God,” Beverly scoffed with revulsion. “I kept my mouth shut this whole time, but damn it I can’t do it any longer. Selena, call it off.”
“What?” Selena blurted out with shock.
“You heard me. It’s not worth it. Who does that jerk think he is? God’s gift to women? Even if it is for five years, it’s not worth it,” Beverly stated passionately.
“I have to agree with Beverly,” Joanna said

This couldn’t wait until she saw him tomorrow at the office. She drove her old Hyundai like a mad woman, weaving around traffic, angrily blowing her horn at jerkoff drivers to the New York Country Club. Christopher and Bruce were lunching with businessmen who wanted to build three luxury resorts in the Philippines. They were willing to come to New York when Bruce had told them that traveling for him and Christopher would be easier after the holidays. The men hadn’t wanted to wait because the longer they waited the harder it would have been for them to find contractors. A monsoon had hit the Philippines in October. The closes and most reputable contractors were already booked up until August. Other contractors close to the Philippines had unreasonable quotes. So the men had decided to meet the Hudson brothers to see what The Hudson Group had to offer.

Selena woke up late the next morning to photographers and reporters outside of her apartment building. When the news had broken about the engagement, they hadn’t surrounded the building. But, now they were down there like they were waiting for the biggest news of the day. She knew they were there because the news of the engagement being off had gotten out. What she couldn’t figure out was how it got out so quickly. She didn’t feel like dealing with the hassle of going out for a bagel, so she just turned around and got back on the elevator. When she secured her lock on her door, her cell phone rang. She fumbled around in her purse for it. It was Megan. “Hello?” “Oh

Selena was getting ready for her first night out as a single woman – again. She put on a silver shiny dress that hung low on her chest and rode high on her thighs. The dress was so short she couldn’t wear stockings, but that was fine with her. She had decided to let loose tonight. She was currently free of professional and personal responsibilities so why not try to have fun with her new freedom. Her heels were comfortable and matched her outfit. When she had bought the dress, she didn’t think she would have the guts to wear it because it was so provocative. Not now. If she was going to show off for Beverly’s blog, she may as well go all out. There was a knock at the door. Thinking it was Beverly, Selena swung it open without looking out the peepho

Christopher had thought he would never get to the big tacky club. He had hailed a cab right outside of Hudson. The driver was good and fast, but they had hit dead traffic. When the driver had told Christopher that they were only four blocks away straight ahead, he had paid the guy and got out. He had jogged the sidewalk, dodging drunk pedestrians all the way. Now he was standing outside in a line, waiting to get into to the place. A small crowd of people were hanging outside of the place. Christopher assumed they were nutso celebrity fans because he had cruised the whole blog, refreshing it for live updates and to see pictures of the rich and famous. There were no reporters which was a good thing. They were probably at Time Square. He looked at his watch. It was eleven-thirty. The line wasn’t that long and it was moving pretty good. Chris

They didn’t say a word in the lobby when they got their coats. But, Christopher was gentlemanly enough to hold her fur out for her to put on. He took her hand again and guided her outside. Happy, drunk, and cold New Yorkers walked the sidewalk. People blew their vehicle horns in celebration. Christopher and Selena walked two blocks in silence as the winter cold sobered Selena up. Snowflakes started to fall when Christopher tapped on the driver’s side window of the limo. It came down an inch, revealing Ray’s black hat and part of his face. “Oh, hello, sir,” he greeted with slight surprise. “Hi, Ray,” Christopher greeted evenly. “Just unlock the doors for us. No need for you to get out. And please drive us to Selena’s ap

He had been fine with her decision, but he had asked if she would sit in on the interviews of the final applicants and she had agreed to do so.Christopher had asked Selena to the Hudson mansion for an early brunch. It appeared he really was trying to make more of an effort to treat Selena like a partner - not an employee who aggravated him.William walked her to the sunroom.

Two weeks before the wedding . . . Selena had moved most of her clothes to the mansion. Since Christopher had suggested she move into the mansion full time, she had compromised and started spending the night there three to four nights a week. Tonight, Selena and the Hudson brothers were attending a charity ball for leukemia research hosted by the Ladybirds Society Club and it was at Tribeca Rooftop at Three-Sixty in lower Manhattan.
