Chapter 77

The night had come to a slow close with every guests raving about what a good night they have all had. It helped that the food was delicious and all the people present in the room got a long with one another, save for two men in the room.

As great that it had been that people were having a

good time it also made leaving a little bit slower than I had anticipated. I knew the open bar and the fact that it was the weekend contributed to the reluctant departure of guests.

I wanted nothing more than to get home to Hayley and sl*p of these heels and get in to comfy pajamas before I could have the deepest sleep ever had. The entire week had weighed heavy on me between the arrangements and managing people’s tempers. With the event actually being an almost ticked box, I could feel the exhaustion creep in and settle heavily in my bones.

The small talk had been talked right out of me by now and I just wanted every one to go

home so I could leave. As the host of the event, I doubt that it would be any where near appropriate if I had left before every one else did.

I sat at the bar and looked at my half drunk glass as I tried my best to stay awake and not fall completely face flat against the counter.

The chair next to me moved and I half looked up to find Adam settling himself in looking a little

work out himself.

“Came to indulge in a drink?” I asked, hearing the tiredness dampen my voice.

Adam shook his head. “God, no. I have had my fair share for this evening. He looked around at the crowd before he shifted his attention back to me.

“I knew you threw good parties, this one was pretty nice but is it really that good that people seem in no rush go leave?” A small frown marred the gal between his brows.

I stiffled a yawned. “Okay, so it isn’t only me who had the thought.” I grunted. “I think the open bar has some thing to do with it.” I suggested and his eyes widened before he nodded slowly.

“Yes, I actually think that’s the reason these pompous rich people aren’t leaving.” He said in a distasteful tone and I scoffed.

“Last time I checked, you’re a part of the rich list that you speak of with such great dislike.” I reminded him but he grimaced at me.

“I know, I know but look at you, you’re practically falling asleep. You should get going and get some rest.” Adam said in a slight admonishing tone but my shoulders slumped.

“I wish I could but it wouldn’t be appropriate to go home while every one was still around.” I darted my eyes to the crowd once more.

“Who cares? Do they give a shit that they’re over staying?” He made a good point.
