Wow that went well. I walk out of the Hugo Boss offices and head towards my car. Its looks awful in that carpark, surrounded by all the Merc’s and BMW’s that the super rich executives drive. Poor truck, I know exactly how you feel. “I don’t fit in here either, lets go home” I tap the scorching hot roof affectionatly, and climb inside. Sitting down in the warm seat I reach into my pocket for my phone, dialling Alices number without thinking.

“Hey Al?”

“Shaney, Shane, Shane…How’d it go?” That’s what I love about Alice, she always cares. Some people think she’s nosey, I prefer to see it as a genuine interest in my life. Shes a great friend.

“Well I need to ask you a favour”

“Sure, what it is?”

“Wanna come on a business trip with me next week? Can you take a week off?” I crossed my fingers. I really don’t want to do this without at least one of my friends.

“Yeah I think so. Where we going Superstar, 5 star luxury resort in St Lucia?” Alice chuckled

“Well not exactly…” I paused, knowing the suspense must be killing her. “They want me to go to London to….”

“NO WAY!! London as in England? REALLY?” I could hear the excitement in her voice.

“No Al, London as in Canada” I say sarcastically. “Of course London, England”

“Oh wow, this is amazing Shane. Why’ve you gotta go there? What you gonna do with Shay? Have you asked Jenny yet?” Alice fires off questions

“Woah, slow down Al. I’ll meet you at The Planet later, get the others to come. Don’t say why. Promise me?”

“Of course, if that’s what you want” I can hear she’s practically fizzing with the news. “I won’t say anything, you can trust me”

“Hahah no I can’t, not with gossip anyway. Keep it quiet tho Al, for me. I’ll seeya after I’ve picked up Shay”

“Oh fuck I’m so excited Shane, I can’t wait to tell Tasha! I mean…… I’ll keep it shush tho, I swear”
