Anna's POV
I'm trying to sleep but this ray of light won't allow me to close my eyelids, I don't want to wake up. My head is muddled up,I tried to get a cuddle from Jake,that has been my routine for the past years. But reality is very harsh, shit he cheated on me,he is a playboy. I jumped out of my bed I walked to the kitchen section of my room,after drinking a glass of water I calmed down. That son of a bitch will have regret playing with my emotions if my dad were to be alive,I miss mom and dad. I cried for the next thirty minutes,after stabilizing I prepared my self for work. Perhaps I still love him or it was infatuation due to my naivity, I prepared Scotch egg,toast and apple juice. I have to pay my bills it's end of the month already.
After rushing my breakfast I put on a leather short skirt with a long sleeved woolen shirt,I put on a beanie winter is coming and I'm allergy to cold,I changed my apartment password,I won't give him a chance never again. After walking 10 minutes walk to my boutique,I settled in and prepared for today sales,I designed new dress for kids and men. I will buy some materials in market today, I just have to work myself out to forget that jerk. After making up to thirty new designs I decided to take a break. I wish I can make sales like yesterday everyday,"hello madam" I heard a femine voice saying sweetly with sarcasm and defeat hidden in her voice. I raised my head,and I smirked it was that slut that Jake slept with yesterday, I know to make sarcasm more than you I will give you what you want. "Good morning ma'am, please how may I help you?"I said giving her a smile,she was with two other girls they are looking like hyenas ready to attack.
"Well I don't know if your shop has the dress I am looking for,it cost 1 million dollars" She said with a grin, "Well I don't have and I won't want you to waste your time in a small shop like mine. You can make use of the door ma'am"I said only an idiot will not know what I mean. "Is she sending us out" one of the girls said furiously. "That's why your shop can't be more than this"another one said. I kept my cool,Anna preserve your self respect,you don't have to answer them I chant to myself. "Well maybe that is my her boyfriend left her,She was his puppy for four years" the girl Jake slept with said and they started laughing. Even though her words hurt me I didn't flinch a bit,I don't let my enemy see me cry or I'm weak. "Hmmmmm,a shamelessly slut that just try to get men into her bed with her small tities and butt" I said smiling inside,best way to insult a woman is to insult or belittle her asset.
Yes I succeed in throwing dirt on her,her eyes are now red in anger,I smirked I might look gentle but my words are like daggers. "Will you move away I got an important customer" I said on seeing the people in black like yesterday. They rushed to attack me but the all stopped on sighting men in black rushing into my store,"If you touch one strand of her hair,you will regret it" A husky baritone said while making his way inside with the lady from yesterday trailing after him. I'm also shocked he doesn't look like someone who will stand up for someone. The three left shivering and apologizing simultaneously, "Thank you sir for saving me. Please how can I help you?"I said after showing him a seat,one of the bodyguard put a piece of clothing before he settle down. Wow what a weirdo.
"I love the suit I bought yesterday it saved me so it's nothing. I don't like bullies too. I also heard you make your clothes yourself is that true?" The man asked the dark and cold aura is still there but it was not as much as yesterday. "Yes sir I design and sew all the clothes here my self and I am happy for the review you made on the suit. I'm glad you enjoy it" I said. "Can you make more? About 50 pieces for a start. Can I get it in the next two weeks?" The man asked,am I hearing wrong? 50 pieces in two weeks but I need money so I accepted. "Okay sir but because of the short span of time and I don't have staffs to work with me the price will be two times the original price. that is 10,000 dollars for each" I explained. He just nodded his head,"I will make payment now do you have a bank account? I didn't come with cash so I will transfer the money" the man said.
After providing my bank details he pressed his phone,I got a notification on my phone I excused myself to check my phone transfer of 5 million dollars. "Sir I think you made a mistake you transferred 5 million dollars instead of 1 million dollars"I said nervously. I've not received money as huge as this before. "Not at all I bought one for 50,000 dollars yesterday and you said times two that is 100,000 dollars per one and you are making fifty pieces that is a total of 5 million dollars. I don't think I made a mistake" he explained.
Anna you made a big deal today but won't he run away with the price? No it was his choice and I don't even think he will be bother,"I will give you discount sir,the money is too much" I said. "I don't need discount lady,are you going to do it or you transfer back my money" He said coldly with no emotions. "No sir I don't mean to upset you. Expect it in the next two weeks" I said immediately. "Okay I will leave you to it" he said and make his way towards the glass door the lady trailed behind him with his bodyguards. Rich people and madness,this one is even crazier,so many weird things about him. At least I made huge deal, I decided to start production if I fail he will surely get me killed. I went to market to get materials I bought the highest quality materials. I bought extra material for other clothe designs I made earlier.
I spent the rest of the day in my production room glued to my sewing machine and scissors. I closed the shop already is not even as if it will affect any sales.
Raymond Quin's POV
After my morning training I went downstairs to get my breakfast,the maids greeted I replied and they were shocked,why is everyone behaving weird today,I don't have time to think about low life people or their emotions. I walked into my dinning hall,I saw Ava having her breakfast slowly. Ava has been working with me for five years now,she is my secretary but does personal assistant works,I know she has a crush on me but I don't care. On sighting me she smiled, and looked at me lustfully maybe because I am shirtless. "What are you doing here? I thought I gave you a day off" I said coldly. "Well.....hmmmm.... sir I brought the result on the shop girl" Ava said stammering. I smiled that girl I want to see her again,"let me see"I said but Ava was looking lost,shock and dumbfound, "Let me see the documents Ava" I repeat raising my voice,she was startled she jumped in fear and fell on I butt,she looked at me for help but I ignored her and snatched the documents from her.
I sat down and started reading,hmmmm her name is Allison Anna what a lovely name. I smiled visualising her face, she is 23 what why does she look young like 18 or 17, interesting.

Ava's POV
After getting dressed in my business suit I made way towards Raymond's house, I like Raymond but he is too cold. I've been crushing on Raymond since I started work as his secretary,Raymond is handsome and rich, although he is proud and arrogant I still want him many girls still want him but no girl can tell it to his face or else their corpse will be next thing. After checking my self in the mirror I applied more red lipstick,he gave me a day off after yesterday's work but I still want to see him. He asked me for the boutique girl's information so I have an excuse to go see him. I picked up my bag and the folder on getting to his private parking lot,I have privilege as his secretary.
"Miss Ava boss did not mention you are coming let me go inform him" Derrick his head servant said,"Don't worry about disturbing him,I will wait for him I only brought some important documents for him" I said sharply. "Okay then it's breakfast time will you join?" Derrick asked. I ignored him and walked towards the dinning room,this house will soon become mine and all these maids will call me madam Quin they will listen to my instructions. I can't wait to become Mrs. Quin. In between I was served breakfast,I started with the toast "hmmmmmm delicious"I moaned. I sighted Raymond walking down the stairs majestically with slow but long strides.
He was smiling I can't believe Raymond Quin smiled for the first time in five years I've been working with him. No he smiled yesterday too,but he doesn't smile like this he is a cold handsome devil. "Good morning"I heard him reply to a maid, my boss replied a maid? It is not possible he sees people as low life he will never reply,My boss is behaving weird today.
He asked me what I'm doing in his house,thank God I brought the documents,on hearing about the documents he smiled. I was mesmerized by his smile he looks more handsome when smiling,right now I don't really care about the reason he smiled,I was in a daze until I heard him shouting.
I jumped up in fear and landed my butt on the group I looked at him for help but he refused to look at me. He was engrossed in the girl's file and smiling like an idiot. Now I'm angry at the girl she is the reason Raymond embarrassed me instead of pampering me. I stood up and continue my food,"Ava find out about that Jake boy and we will be going back to Nashville today. You don't seem to like the off I give you" He said sharply and walked towards his room. He came back after some minutes we entered his private place,he instructed the driver to drive us to the girl's boutique,we met three girls trying to bully her.
Raymond defended her I was shocked, Raymond does not defend people he even bully himself. He is giving me a shock for the nth time today. He gave her a contract to make fifty suits for him he even paid more than the price,this is not Raymond. Raymond does not even pay until he gets the product,he won't even pay more than the usual price. I'm going crazy or this is Raymond's imposter. The girl even tried to give him discount,he threatened her to take the money now I'm getting confused. Raymond can't possibly have feelings for her right? Raymond Quin has no heart. We traveled back to Las Vegas, I was dropped at my house after he gave me work instructions.
Anna's POV
After successfully making three suits I checked my phone,Gosh it's 10PM already. I did not even have lunch,I rounded up and locked my production room,it is a secret room and only three people has the code to open it and that is me and my parents. No one can even identify the door,mom told me rivals use to steal materials and works so they have to build the boutique in this way. After locking up the boutique,my tummy growled,this is not good. I entered a restaurant and ordered food,after paying the bills I walked towards the supermarket,I bought few groceries. Thank God Jake his gone my feeding budget is now only for me, I bought toiletries too. I walked towards my house,I was a stone away from my house when a strong hand hit me.
Who could have hit me? May they are robbers they won't get a dime from me. I turned and it was Jake with his slut,I was not surprised she got annoyed this morning. I looked at both of them with a mocking face,"why are you just coming by this time?"Jake asked sharply. What does he think of himself,I grinned,"And who are you to ask me that? Do I know you?"I asked giving him a deadly glare. "Wow you got balls now? We broke up yesterday and you are getting balls already" Jake said raising a brow. "Well say that to your butt" I replied him and Jake hit me hard on my face,it really hurt I'm not surprised this is not the first time he is hitting me I kept my strong a face I didn't flinch a bit.
"I did not come here for that,I've come to warn you about my girl don't ever touch or insult her. Then I will show you my true colors"Jake said. I scoffed,"Have you not showed your true colors? Dirty son of a bitch,is it a crime to love you?" I replied him. "I don't love you Anna you were just like a lost puppy drenched in the rain looking for shelter and affection. I don't even get to break your virginity,you didn't satisfy me and you expect me to stay with you"Jake said. "Oh I see thank God I didn't give in to your desires I would have regret it deeply. Don't let us cross paths in future"I said and left him and his slut.
On getting to my apartment I had a quick bath,I prepared coffee for myself and I started designing. I have made up my mind now that I will never care about that Jake. I'm not the type of girl that will stick to people who don't value or respect me.
