Chapter 1

"Phoebe! I thought I told you to take the garbage out!," Piper glared at Phoebe after taking the trash out. "It's okay not to take out once, but it's definitely not okay not to take out the trash at all"

Phoebe continue blowing her freshly painted nails. "Ask Leo then, isn't that what husbands are for?"

"Yeah..I could do that. Hmm, why haven't I thought of that..Oh! Maybe it's because he has a business to handle and the fact that you're totally free and have nothing to do all day?"

"As a matter of fact, I happen to have a job..," Phoebe paused when Piper showed her a 'yeah right' face, "..soon"

"Phoebe, it's been 2 weeks since you went for an interview! I'm sure they would have called you after a day or two if you have the job," Piper said while busy cleaning the counter. "Maybe you should start looking for another job?"

"Oh, all right," Phoebe sighed. She flipped through the paper and gave a loud squeal. Piper rolls her eyes.

"Stop looking at Mr. Handsome and start looking for your job!"

"God, Piper don't you see? This happen to be one of god's greatest gift," Phoebe lift up a picture of Keith Evans. "He has the most spectacular face I have ever seen and..Ohmygod! Did you remember the interview I went to?"

Piper lifted a brow. "Yeah, the one you didn't get" and earned a glare from Phoebe.

"Anyway, it's his company I went for an interview! Maybe I still have a chance of getting that job. God, I want that job so badly!"

"Phoebe, the chance of you ever getting that job is ni-," Piper stopped when the phone started ringing. Phoebe's eyes went round with excitement.

"Maybe they're calling me for the job!," Phoebe quickly ran to the phone. Piper sighed and started pouring herself a glass of milk. After 10 minutes, she looked up to see Phoebe leaning against the wall. "Oh honey, I'm sor-"

"I got the job! I got the job!," Phoebe screamed, jumping up and down at the same time. "I can't believe I got the job!". Piper smile. She hadn't seen Phoebe this excited ever since she broke up with Cole.

***

Keith smile at his best friend since childhood after he replacing the phone. "All done"

Cole glared at him. "I can't believe you really did that. The minute she hears that she got the job because of me, before you can say Cole, you'll have her resignation letter on your desk"

"Hey man, I'm doing this to spice up your sex life. God knows, how long it's been," Keith smile brightly at Cole.

"My sex life has nothing to do with you, ass," Cole scowled. "I'll be going now. Hope I won't be seeing your pathetic face anymore"

"Well, that's going to be hard since I'm the only best pal you had and..," Keith smiled slyly. "And, I have your Phoebe working as my assistant. Well, I guess I'll be seeing you everyday"

Cole walked out of the office mumbling to himself that he need to find better friends from now on.

(After a few weeks)

"Phoebe, can I see you in my office?"

"Sure," Phoebe said into the intercom and after a minute, knock on Keith's door.

"Come in"

Phoebe stuck her head in. "Mr. Evans, you wanted to see me?"

Keith smile at her and gesture at the chair in front of his desk. After Phoebe sat, Keith went straight to the point. "Phoebe, a private cocktail party will be held in the bistro opposite this building. All chief executives of our various companies are expected to attend, along with their secretaries."

"Okay, what time am I suppose to be there?," Phoebe ask calmly even though her stomach feels like it is being eaten by butterflies.

"I'll pick you up at 6, will that do?"

Keith Evans personally takes me to a fancy cocktail party?, Phoebe thought. "Hell, yeah!"

Keith brows lifted. "Excuse me?"

Embarassed, Phoebe replied sheepishly, "I mean, 6 will be fine"

***

"Hey, ass! We've got a date tonight!"

Cole lifted his head from the report he was reading. "What the hell are you doing here? Didn't Tom stop you outside? Damn, looks like I need new security"

Keith hits Cole in the back with a friendly gesture and continued as if he didn't hear Cole. "Anyway, remember to be at the cocktail party opposite the Ritz"

"Keith, I'm not going. I've tons of work to do, meetings to attend and I don't have a date to bring"

"Why don't you bring your delightful Patricia," Keith ask slyly while brushing Cole's hair. Cole's scowl deepen and his face redden.

"I can't believe I told you what happen"

"Oh common, bring Patricia to the cocktail party and maybe Phoe-"

"Party??!! Cole, you have to bring me sweetheart!"

Cole visible cringed and tried to duck underneath the table but before he could, Patricia snag his arm and despite her puny strength, manage to drag Cole across the room. "We've much to do with buying my clothes, your clothes..."

Cole looked back with an angry stare and mouthed, you're going to pay.

Keith just smiled brightly and wave goodbye to them.
