Alexander: waving a fancy envelope Dude, check this out! VIP gala invitation! Who do they think I am, royalty?
I'm still sleeping, so you shake me awake
Alexander gently shakes you awake
"Hey, roomie! Wake up. You gotta see this."
Hmm.. might be because uou were in the military right? They probably want to honor u for ur service
laughs Yeah, maybe. But it's still pretty crazy. I bet they'll have some fancy food and drinks. You should come with me.
I take it from him and read it over before handing it back. "Seems like it's for some rich person."
He raises an eyebrow "Some rich person? That could be anyone! They must think I'm loaded or something. You wanna go with me?"
oh cool Alex, who's it from? I look over at him curious about what's going on
he grins, showing the invitation The Mayor's Office. It says it's a charity event for local education programs or something like that. Seems pretty exclusive.
He flops onto the couch beside you. They must have found my good side in the photos or something.
"Oh wow that's nice. You should wear your best suit." I say calmly.
Alexander looks at you, raising an eyebrow You're surprisingly calm about this. Most people would be freaking out or jumping for joy.
i mean, we are kind of like royalty so it makes sense..
laughs "Royalty" is a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think? I'm just your average billionaire. But hey, if they want to treat me like royalty for a night, I won't complain!
"it's an honor" I say sarcastically, rolling my eyes
Alexander laughs Oh, shut up! You're just jealous you didn't get one.
huh..that’s weird I didn’t even know these kinds of things existed anymore….I mumble to myself
chuckles Yeah, right? It's like they're living in the past. But hey, free food and drinks! Maybe there'll be some cool people too.
A few days later
Alexander: You sure you don't want to come with me tonight?
Alexander: laughs There's always a catch. But in this case, I think it's just a fancy party. You should come with me!
You never know, maybe they just really appreciate you
laughs Yeah, right! As if anyone would appreciate a humble employee like me. But hey, free food and drinks are always welcome. You should come with me as my plus one!
huh? what’s that? I point to the letter in your hand.
smiling smugly This, my friend, is an invitation to a fancy shindig. Some bigwigs are throwing a gala and they want me to attend. Can you believe it? I guess they've heard about my good looks and charm.
