Alice POV
At the age of 25, I was enjoying my life as a bookkeeper at a local engineering and construction company in the small town where I came from.
Recording transactions and posting them to various accounts. Processing payments. Conducting daily banking activities. Producing various financial reports. Reconciling reports to bank statements etcetera, etcetera.
It may sound boring to others but, yeah, I enjoyed it.
I worked 8 hours a day, and got weekends off that I usually spent at the small house that I used to share with my mother until she moved out to work in the city.
You might be wondering what I am doing at my small house during the weekends when most of the women my age spend it at the mall or partying. Well, not me. I read books. Lots and lots of books.
And when I say I read, that's the only thing I do. Well, except for cooking for myself and eating. But sometimes even that I miss when I am too immersed in what I am reading.
