"Cheers," She responded glumly, taking a sip and then lighting another cigarette.

He chuckled at her actions, "You're unique you know that? I don't mean it in a bad it's just I never met a girl like you before," he took a large gulp of his martini.

"How hard pressed are you? I wouldn't think one would have to search hard to find someone like me in this city," She responded, looking up at him and taking another sip of her drink.

"Trust me there aren't a lot of people like you. Fiesty, independent, beautiful, and most importantly confidence." he smiled finishing his Martini.

"Yeah, yeah. You don't know me that well. My entire life is basically a dumpster," Stella told him, finishing her wine and picking up her cigarette.

"Really? You know you can always work for me?" he smirked ordering something a little stronger.

"I have a job," She said, glancing over at him and taking a drag. "It's just a crappy one."

"Exactly so why don't you come work at my company? Do you like the job you work at?" their eyes met for a split second then lost connection.

"I like it, but the pay sucks," Stella admitted. "What's your company?"

"Apple," he said twirling his drink watching the water go around the cup.

"Apple," She raised an eyebrow, a little bit intrigued now. "What is your…position in this company?"

"CEO."

She raised another eyebrow, not sure if he was lying or not. "Don't take this as offense, but…I don't really believe you. Why would you be out smoking and drinking on a rainy night, if you were the CEO of Apple?"

"How about you come tomorrow? I could show you around? Oh, and because it's a habit." he chuckled taking a sip.

"And I'm sure the public thinks well of your habits," She mumbled, setting down her cigarette for a moment. "Why have I never heard of you?"

"Because everything that happened with me I make sure to not get it published. I usually work from home anyway I rarely go to the company." he laughed.

She rolled her eyes a little, starting to warm up to this guy. "Interesting. How did you get this job, exactly?"

"Worked my way up from the bottom. We could go there now if you'd like I promise everyone will know who I am," he smirked.

"Yeah, whatever. Maybe tomorrow," She promised, taking a drag and spinning around a little on her stool.

(I forgot I was on this one XD)
"It's a date then!" he really felt for this girl. Even though she had issues of her own something about her made him want her as something more than just a one night stand.

(also sorry about the other one, I wanted to let some other peeps do it and now I feel bad for rejecting you vybjnuyft)
"Ah, where did I turn?" Stella dramatically sighed. "First I'm smoking in a dingy apartment, and now I have date plans for the CEO of Apple."

(Nah es all good)
"What's so bad about that?" he tilted his head finishing his drink.

(alright phew)
"Nothing," She said, glancing up at him. "But it's quite the dramatic switch."

(XD)
"Oh? How so?" he moved the hair out of her face and smiled.

"I went to being my normal, trashy self, to taking a drink with the CEO of Apple." She shrugged, allowing a small smile in return. "Doesn't happen every day."
