Amber woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. Yesterday was really eventful. She rushed to the bathroom and washed her face. After taking her bath she went downstairs. Today was Saturday, she had to go to the gym and take Lilac, her younger sister for karate class. Amber lived with her younger sister and grandmother, her mom died some years after after Lilac was born and she never really knew who her dad was. As for Lilac's father he was a Jerk. Few days after the death of their mom he left Amber who was just fifteen at that time to take care of five year old Lilac. It was then that their Grandmother took them in. It had been 10 years and Amber had not set eyes on her stepfather since he left.
....A jerk
According to her grandmother, her biological father was dead so she was literally an orphan but she never felt lonely. she had the company of her sister and the love of her grandmother. she also knew that the spirit of her mom would always protect her.
"Good morning grandma." Amber said as she came down the stairs. she had worn a blue dress embroidered with golden sun flowers.
she dressed exceptionally well that morning.
she had a good feeling about the day, she just couldn't descry the reason.
"Good morning sweetheart, how was your night?" Grandma Charlotta asked while she flipped the pancakes in the frying pan like a professional chef.
"Pancakes for breakfast uhh."she said gladly as she sat at the kitchen counter. Making her self comfortable, she tied her Auburn hair into a pony tail and took a plate.
"Yes, Lilac requested for it specially, I couldn't say no." She replied winking at Amber. Lilac chose breakfast most mornings which meant pancakes were a regular as they were her favorite. It was a good things the others like pancakes or that would have been horrible. "Do you want maple syrup or ketchup?"
"Maple syrup." Then she realized she hadn't seen Lilac that morning. "Where's Lilac?" She turned around to catch a glimpse of her sister, but she saw nobody.
After a few seconds Lilac rushed in from the door gasping for air. "Grandma!" she shouted still trying to catch her breath. Amber's is suddenly popular on the tabloids."
"Lilac calm down, I've told you to stop reading those gossip articles." Grandma Charlotta repremmanded her.
"What do you mean I'm popular on the tabloids?" Amber asked suspiciously.
I was just going through my phone when I saw the news."
"What news?" Grandma Charlotta was the one who asked this time.
Lilac immediately open her tablet and handed it to Grandma. Amber loooked too.
Most searched news: "Female reporter caught the eyes of the Charming Onyxian Ivan."
"A Cinderella tale as reporter is noticed by the prince of the business world"
"Onyxian Ivan stares at an unknown rookie reporter...." And with all this different headlined there were stories tagged with pictures. It looked as though they were some romantic couple in some telenovela.
....hehehe
Amber was bewildered what did they mean by rookie reporter. It was annoying.
"What's going on Amber? who is this Onyxian Ivan?" Grandma Charlotta sounded worried.
"It's nothing Grandma, like you said this is all gossip, baseless gossip." Amber didn't want her Grandmother to be worried. She knew that her grandmother didn't want her getting attention from the public that was why she had refuse her from being a reporter but after much persuasion she could only relent. If her grandma took this seriously then it wouldn't be good.
"What do you mean it's nothing, You're all over the news. I don't want you to be exposed...."
"You worry too much grandma, it's really nothing, by noon something else will overtake this and became the hottest news. That's how this tabloids are. You really don't have to worry." She interrupted her and tried to coax her.
"I hope so, but if this continues by tomorrow you'll have to do something."
"It won't."
Then she took her phone and began going through the headlines herself.
"I can't believe this." she said under her breath. It was the first time she was appearing on the tabloids and it was because of that handsome god.
she couldn't help but be a little excited. Appearing in the news with someone highly regarded was actually cool.
..hehehehe
Just then Amber received a call from Jeff to come to the office immediately. She apologized to Lilac as she wouldn't be able to go with her to her karate class and rushed out.
"we hear wedding bells."
Onyx read yet another headline "Well your ears must need servicing." he rebuked.
He was still home as it was Saturday. he would be going to the office a little later.
He sipped his coffee as he opened another article. Then the voice of Martin was heard.
"President should I have someone get rid of all this articles?"
"No, no need. Why kill all the fun. Some of them are quite funny and ridiculous, you should read them yourself when you're less busy. He then stood up to prepare for the day leaving the perplexed assistant.
Was his boss drugged? He had never seen him act this way.
