Chapter 3 - I need your help

She closed her eyes as she felt her death closer by each moment that passed her. Memories of the past came reminiscing to her. As she counted the last moments of her life she heard a loud sound. She was convinced that she was hit by the car and it was the end.After a while she realized that nothing hit her. She summed up all the courage in her and slowly opened her hazel green eyes.

The sound was not from the crashing of the car against her body but because the car had put out a sudden brake, stopping right in front of her missing her by an inch.

"Thank Goodness.My life is still there. I can live."She sighed in relief.

"Hey miss, maybe look at the road you are crossing sometimes. Your life could have ended." Said the driver of the car. It was the first time she noticed the car. A brand new sports car. She immediately recognized it as she had read a magazine having this exact car on its cover page. There was only one of this kind in the world and it belonged to..... Austin Richards! Freaking. Austin. Richards. The best actor winner for 4 consecutive years. She raised her head to take a look at the driver and it was the great Austin Richards. At that moment she just want to dig a hole in the middle of the road and hide there until he was gone.

"Hey lass, Answer me. If not then get lost of my way"

"Hey, talk to me with respect.Anyways you should never drive at such crazy speed."

"Whatever.Move out"

"Gladly"

She rolled her eyes as she went back to the footpath. He shot a quick glare towards the girl and swiftly drove off. Who would know that the famous Austin Richards was such a hell of a person. Yikes! Only after thinking so much did she finally remember she was getting late. Motherfudger! She cursed in a panic state and looked at her watch. 8:05am. She was late. The office was still about two minutes. Somehow she calm down. Maybe because she had already accepted that she would be fired soon.

She slowly walked towards the company. She thought about new jobs she could take after this. She got this after working very hard. This was the best job she could have with the highest paycheck in her life. Seventeen dollars a week. Even though they overworked her, it was all worth it when she could bring a plate of food in front of her son everyday. Even though she was starving half a week, it was worth it as she could send her son to school.The company she was so big that even their interns had a paycheck of forty dollars a week, an personal assistant, a one bedroom flat and a spa membership. These features were not for any student who turns up but for the best of the bests.

She stopped when she saw that the tall company building in front of her. The two minute walk took her 10 minutes to complete.She helplessly looked towards the building and headed towards the hall. The moment she entered the hall the she could see a bustling crowd of elegant women and charming men. As she was the assistant of an intern photographer nobody really noticed her.

She saw a familiar looking figure rushing towards her. It was Mistress Sanga.

"I was searching for you all over. Where were you?Wait, were you late?"

"Mistress I was in the washroom."She lied to save her job. Will this work on mistress?she thought.What will happen if Mistress caught her lying? There would be not chances of her staying any longer. These thoughts made her anxious and she started to bite her nails as her fingers trembled uncontrollably.

"Never mind Brookelle. Anyways I need your help."Miss Sanga said in a tensed manner.
