It’s definitely going to be a short update but an interesting one, i guarantee😉
(Part 1)
   Henry was sitting with notable people in the party, a young lady approached Henry. She has started chatting with him while Julie entered the party hall.
   She sat in the barstool, took a wine glass and observed them. The girl was definitely flirting with him and trying to get his attention in the most nicest way possible. Henry was in no mood for this, it was so evident in his demeanour. However, he smiled politely and rejected her offer to dance. But she was little persistent in persuading him.
Julie had enough, gulped down the second glass of wine, she walked past him, murmured a song to the DJ and took the centre stage.
   Henry’s table was not far from her. She can clearly see his emotions. The song started, “No by Meghan Trainor”
   Julie looked straight at the eyes of the girl, while singing the lyrics,
“You need to let it go,
need to let it go,
Nah to the, ah to the,
No, No, No..”
   Henry’s expression told that he was shocked at Julie’s bold personality when she licked her lips and swayed her hips for the lyrics. He visibly gulped. Julie knew the effect she has on him.
   She shooed away men who attempted to dance with her, her eyes were only on Him. But there were too many eyes on her as she attracted the attention by her slaying moves.
   Julie extended her hand in his direction like giving it to him and then turned it, folding in each finger from smaller one, motioning him seductively to come with a wink.
   Henry’s eyes were dazed, his legs had a mind of its own and walked towards her on her command.
“Untouchable, Untouchable…”
   the lyrics said when he took her hand and yanked her to his chest. They did not stop dancing, but his hold was possessive on her, the entire hall was left speechless.
   The song was over, the sound of the claps brought them out of their reverie. He took her hand and quickly walked out,
“Let’s get you out of the spotlight before the wild desire in the eyes of half of the men here goes out of hand”
Julie just smiled at his protective side.
   They sat in a quiet place of the garden to the other side of the banquet hall.
“What’s that for?” Henry raised his eyebrows at her in a little serious tone.
“The dance?”
He nodded.
“I felt like dancing” she shrugged.
“You’re too innocent to know what that has done to me” he sighed.
She smiled wickedly.
“I just thought to help you get rid of that girl who was hitting on you”
“Ohh!” Henry was surprised at this version of Julie, who is so open about her thoughts.
“Did you drink?” He asked.
She wiggled two fingers at him with a smile of a baby.
“Your tipsy eyes talks louder.”
   Julie became serious again and said,
“I came back for two reasons”
Henry scrunched his eyebrows and waited for her to continue.
“One, I wanted to pay back for my mistake and second one to win your heart”
she said blatantly.
Henry was amused at Julie’s tipsy talks, she would always talk straight from her heart.
   Henry folded his hands, leaned back on his chair, as if he is getting ready and comfortable for an entertainment show with a bucket of popcorn.
“How?” he asked curiously.
   “I am going to join back in Kingston Corp” she announced proudly.
Henry’s heart raced with happiness, soon concern clouded his face.
“Well, after being established as a successful Financial Analyst, do you want to go back to working as an employee? That would hamper your progress and growth in your carrer”
Henry gave her a serious career advice.
   “I was already working only on my free time as financial analyst, so I am used to the moon-lighting, I can manage. Besides, that’s where my heart belongs, being a Kingston employee is my pride” She clarified with a warm smile.
   “You know Kingston Corp wouldn’t miss out on smart ones” Henry stated.
“So, I’m hired?” She asked in surprise.
“Of course, I would inform Mr Smith to accommodate you in finance”
“Not necessary” Julie replied firmly.
“Why?”
“Because I am applying for a different job thats vacant for sometime now” she paused and looked straight at his eyes and said,
“For the Personal Secretary to the CEO”
