Chapter 2

Lucinda Perry couldn't help feeling a bit nervous as she walked into the club; dressed in a strapless black mini dress and gold-colored knee-high boots. Her long, curly, and jet-black hair was let down for the first time in a long while instead of the usual bun. She was wearing green-colored contact lenses in place of the everyday glasses, which she always wore because of her near-sightedness.

Even though she was giving off a slutty vibe with her outfit, she was nothing close to being a ****. Unless of course, you'd want to call her a slutty ******.

For the first time in her adult life, she wanted to do something outrageously reckless. Something daring. The kind of stuff that would leave her best friend's mouth hanging open in disbelief when she tells her how she spent the night of her twenty-fifth birthday. Was she ready for it? NO! But was she going to do it? Hell yeah!

She looked around the club, as she tried to adjust her sight to the dim-lit room, and noticed everyone around her seemed to be having so much fun. It was her first time in a club, so of course, she was feeling kind of lost and out of place as a fish in the dry land. She looked ahead of her and took in a deep breath as she caught sight of the bar ahead of her and slightly to the right, "You can do this Lucy!" She assured herself as she slowly made her way towards it.

The music was too damn loud, but she tried not to worry too much about her eardrums being blown off. At least not that night. She had made a promise to herself on her last birthday that she was going to do something crazy come her next birthday. That was if she was able to achieve certain goals she had set for herself, and as though the universe was in support of it, she had gotten her long-deserved promotion two days earlier. So that night was kind of different because it not only marked her twenty-fifth birthday, but it also marked her first night in the city of Ludus. She had been transferred to the head office, in Ludus, to take over from one of the senior staff in the fashion unit who had just recently retired.

She worked for one of the largest conglomerates in the world, the I-Global group. As such, being transferred to the headquarters was a very big deal and a dream come true for her.

She was the sort of person you would describe as a 'Miss goody-two-shoes. She was a typical good girl and a very intelligent one at that. She was also a very devoted staff member in the company; the type to put in extra hours and give her best to every assignment placed under her authority. In simpler terms, she was a workaholic with zero social life.
