Cherreads

Chapter 4 - chapter 3: close friend

Noah reached home to get ready for the party. He ate lunch, took a nap and woke up past six. He got ready and immediately headed for the office to wait for Diamant.

Noah arrived at the office at 7:40, to wait for Diamant, he was wearing a pink suit and a black bow tie.

Suddenly a shadow appeared behind him, he turned back to see who it was, to his surprise it was Diamant reed.

Noah:( woah he is really, really good looking).

Diamant was wearing his signature all black suit, with his long silver hair combed back.

( The image is lacking background I know, I tried my best to create the character with chatGPT)

Diamant: have you been waiting long

Noah: no, I just arrived

Diamant: get in the car

Noah: okay sir

Diamant and Noah arrived at the party

The ballroom gleamed like a crystal prism, its chandeliers scattering light across tailored suits and polished shoes. The low hum of conversation, laughter, and clinking glasses filled the air - a world of confidence, status, and silent competition.

Diamant Reed fit perfectly into it. His silver hair combed back neatly reflected the amber light as he moved through the crowd - tall, composed, unreadable. Noah followed a respectful step behind, his expression calm but eyes wide as they took in the glittering chaos.

"Stay close," Diamant murmured before turning to greet a cluster of board members across the hall. "And don't let them intimidate you."

Noah nodded softly, his voice barely audible. "Yes, sir."

But the moment Diamant was drawn into a circle of investors - all handshakes and laughter that didn't reach their eyes - Noah found himself alone near the buffet, clutching a glass of water like a lifeline.

He didn't belong here. He knew it. Everyone knew it.

suddenly a tall figure appeared in front of him he looked up, and the face seemed familiar.

Noah recalled it was the guy in the picture Diamant showed him earlier today.

Evan Leigh: hi there (diamants friend, also the guy in the picture) you seem lost in thoughts.

Noah: oh it's nothing

Evan: I saw you come in with Diamant earlier, do you know him, oh I'm Evan Leigh by the way

Noah: I'm his secretary, Noah lane

They shook hands, Noah accidentally spilled some wine on himself,

Noah: shoot, excuse me, I gotta go clean myself up.

Noah's bag fell to the floor, and the perfume fell out of the bag.

Evan: you can go clean yourself, I'll pick up the bag for you.

Noah: okay, thanks

When Noah was in the washroom, Evan picked up the bag for him, but did not return the perfume, it seems he had found out that, Noah was an omega, and was hiding his scent using the perfume.

(Evan is Diamants closest friend, Diamant had a rough childhood full of betrayal by people close to him, and Evan saw Diamant go through that, so he thought Noah either has some ill intent towards Diamant, or was there for his money).

Evan:(I'll make sure to get rid of you at once).
