"Fuck... Where am I??" When I open my eyes, an unfamiliar surrounding was displayed in front of me.
Right in front of me is a mirror. "It seems like right now I'm inside a public restroom". I'm standing in front of a sink and the tap water is still on. I close the tap as I look at the face in the mirror.
"... Who the fuck is this..." I have never seen this person in my whole life before. She has long black hair and the face is full of makeup. It's not too thick just, enough to change a few parts of the face. The lips are bright with a red-colored lipstick. The eyebrows are dark and sharp. Because of the fake lashes, It makes the eyes look sexy and enchanting.
overall...this girl is really pretty.
I look around again and find a handbag on the sink near me. Wasting no time, I rummage the bag looking for an identification card or something that can give some clue about my new identity.
When I saw a purse, I open it and saw the Identification card with the familiar face on it. "Serena Williams " I mutter the name.
After that, the prompt of the system sounds in my head.
[Welcome to the "Life As A Cannon Fodder" life sentence. Your punishment is to fix the mistake of the original owner of the body.]
I gritted my teeth when I heard the prompt. I can't help but glare at the person reflected in the mirror. That person is me, no, right now... I am her. From now on... I have to live the life of some strangers and fix their mess as my punishment.
[ The memory will be sent shortly after the host agrees. Say "YES" when the host is ready.]
There is no one in the restroom right now. When I look around, there's only me.
I took a deep breath as I put the I.D and the purse inside the handbag. After that, I sling the bag on my shoulder, before choosing the cleanest toilet and close the door while making sure the door is locked properly. I pull a handful of tissue from the roll of toilet paper. Then some sanitizer I found inside the bag and pour all of it on the toilet bowl cover before wiping it until I'm satisfied then, throw all of it into the trash can.
I sit on the cover right after that. Putting my left leg on the other, I cross my arm and lean on the wall behind me. "Yes." I agree with the prompt and right after that, the memories of this unfamiliar person come pouring in.
I shut my eyes tightly and took a deep breath as I bit my lip to hold the pain. At this moment, I realized how much this person has messed up in her life and why this punishment was chosen for me.
Her life isn't that bad if only she knows how to make a good choice.
"This girl is stupid."
The beginning of her can be said to be pretty good. Despite her parents is divorced, they are not in a bad relationship. They are just incompatible, so they choose to divorce peacefully. There are no hard feeling involved, even the original owner knew it.
She lives a good life, got a good education, she even got to continue her studies abroad. Everything will be fine if only she didn't choose to accept a man's offer to seduce the president of a big company.
The invitation sounds simple and easy.. just seduce the president, if you are lucky.. you might get a lot of benefit from being under the president on the bed. And, after you succeed in seducing the president, the man will give her more gifts for her accomplishment.
Sounds easy... But, the trickiest part is that... The president is a girl.. and, what makes the mission harder was that..her job is to seduce the President to find out if she likes women. Sounds stupid.. but, it's the truth.
The president does have a girlfriend and that girlfriend is the niece of the man who gave that offer to the original owner. The stupid original owner decided to offend the president's girlfriend which in return got her fired right away from the company.
That day... the original owner realized that the president has never been interested in her. Only she has a big idea. When she decided to offend the president's girlfriend, she thought that the girl is in a bad relationship with the president because of the rumors circulating in the circle of the rich and from the man's information. Turns out, she was wrong.
When she tried to apply for another job, rumors about her is already spread and she wasn't able to work anywhere. Because she is a proud girl with high education, of course, she doesn't want to work at a place that doesn't suit her standard. No matter how big or small the companies, no one dares to accept her to work in their company.
When she goes to the man who offered her the job in the first place for help, the man pretends not to recognize her. It was because that man is also busy dealing with the president at her former workplace suppression.
It was at this moment she realized that she shouldn't have involved herself with rich people's problems. She is from an ordinary family, and she doesn't have any backer. But, it was too late when she realized that .. so, she chose to kill herself.
"Which is very stupid," I thought. She chooses her pride more than her own life. Doesn't she realize how much opportunity she wastes after she killed herself? She can just apply to work abroad, and she does have those qualifications, but, she chose to end her life.
When I open my eyes again.. few tears fell which shocked me. With trembling hands, I wipe my eyes using the sleeve of my clothes. Somehow, there is a bloodstain on the sleeve. "What the...?" When I touch my cheek with my finger and bring it in front of me, there are no traces of blood. But, when I feel the stinging pain on my lower lips... I realized that I bit my lips a little too hard.
I sigh as I stand up and walk out of the toilet to look in the mirror. I close my face to the mirror and saw that the wound on my lower lip is pretty deep. There are still blood traces coming out of the wound, so I took some tissue from the toilet. I pour some of the tap water on the tissue. After that, I slowly dap the wet tissue on the wound.
"Hisssss....!!" It stings.. and my eyes become wet again. " Why is this body so fragile..?" If it were my original body, I wouldn't cry from this little injury, but, this new body is really weak. I don't mind the pain, but, this body's reaction is too much. Still...
"You can't do anything about this.." I let out a deep sigh. I can't help but clench my palm and stare at the person in the mirror again.
"From now on... I am you" after I said that.. somehow, I can feel the lingering feeling like someone is occupying half of this body disappeared. The tears stopped flowing and the pain is no longer unbearable.
A small smile appeared on my face as I looked coldly at the face in the mirror. My face in the mirror.
"I am me.. and you are now, me" I whisper under my breath as I looked at the cold face in the mirror.
