Roselle's P.O.V
I'm so excited.
I know it's not the job I thought I was going to get but getting the opportunity to work at King's it's a blessing in disguise. I don't know what made the lady so nice to me to grant me this kind of opportunity, I didn't even get her details so as to appreciate.
King's Enterprise is one of the largest industries in the world, yes TORY Enterprise is also very big and known around the world but it's easier to get a job or even honored with an interview but at King's, you can hardly find a chance for interview talk less of getting a job there.
And now I've been offered a job as a personal assistant to God knows who but at least!
I'm so happy!
'I can't wait to share this news with Lovette' I thought as I drove home and just like that my mood went sore.
Lovette.
For a second there I forgot I was grieving my sister and the guilt that hit me almost made me tear up.
How can I?
How was I able to forget Lovette even for a minute?
I didn't even know I was crying again until I felt the tears on my cheek.
...
Five (5) days later...
I felt someone's presence in the room with me and I woke up immediately, switching my bed lamp on to see my mum sitting on the side of my bed.
Okay this is getting familiar and interesting may I add.
"Mum?" I questioned, what is she doing here.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you" she said getting me even more confused, where's the woman that is always insulting me for one thing or the other, is she that broken?
"Is there a problem?" I asked politely and she shakes her head.
"No there is no problem, Rose" she said and silently looked around; I know she's here to tell me something, so I looked at her awkwardly waiting for her to talk.
I know it weird, but we never had that mother- daughter relationship, same thing with my dad, so all this was making me really inconvenient.
"I'm so sorry" she suddenly cried out and I looked at her horrified.
Okay?
"I know it's too late to be doing this but I'm really sorry for being a bad mother to you, I can't even imagine how you must have felt when I treated your sister well and I just abandoned you, I'm so sorry I don't know what came over me, I promise to be better, I promise to treat you so much better, your sister, all her life all she wanted was for us to treat you better but we failed her but I won't fail her again in her death, I'm so sorry please forgive me" she cried. So, she knew what she was doing, it wasn't like I did anything, she just decided to hate me because she had Lovette but now that my sister is gone, she wants me. What a joke!
I just kept looking at the woman in my front and I'm just speechless and motionless.
'Lovette even in your death you're still trying to make me happy.'
My mum kept crying and I knew she's hurting so much; it's not going to be easy trying to create that bond at this age, but I'll try for my sister.
"It's okay mum, I forgive you" I said, and she cried even harder before throwing her arms around me and hugging me.
I pat her back carefully trying to console her.
We stayed like that for a few minutes as her cries turn to hiccups until the shrill of my phone separated us. I checked it to see an unknown number before picking it up.
"Hello"
"Hello, this is Alexander Pearson, chief secretary to the King's Enterprise, am I speaking to Miss Roselle Grey?" A voice spoke and my heart flipped with joy.
Finally, I've been dreading this whole week waiting for their call.
"Yes, you are" I answered.
"Good, you applied for the post of personal assistant to the CEO of the company and I'm happy to tell you the boss is impressed with your CV, and you can come for your interview at 9:00 sharp tomorrow morning " she said, and I can't help the smile that covered my face before her word really sink in.
Did she just say personal assistant to the CEO?!!!
Are you kidding me!
To get a job as a mere worker is so fucking hard, talk less of secretary or managers and now I'm getting a job as the personal assistant to the owner of the company!
"Miss Grey?" She questioned.
"Yes, thank you, I'll be there tomorrow" I said before she replied and hung up.
OMG I'm freaking out.
"Rose?" Mum questioned and I looked up at her, I almost forgot she was here.
"Yeah, I got invited for an interview" I explained.
"OH, congratulations dear" she said honestly, and I just smiled awkwardly.
"It's nothing big" I said, and she nodded.
"I'll go prepare dinner; I'll call you down once it's ready" she said before leaving.
I don't want to sound ungrateful but is it just me or somethings in my life right now just seem to be going too well, it's suspicious.
It's getting too good to be true.
The only bad thing is my sister isn't here to witness all this with me.
....
"Rose" I heard my mum's voice and I know she's calling me down for dinner, I just hope I stop being awkward with them soon.
I dressed up quickly before leaving my room and heading to the dining area.
I walked in and saw my dad who was already present at the table while my mum is serving him.
"Good evening dad" I greeted.
"Good evening, Roselle, you should come out of your room more, I hardly saw you this week" he said, and I fought the urge to roll my eyes.
'Well, if you haven't noticed I've always been in my room' I wanted to say but I just kept quiet and smiled while sitting down.
We ate in silence, and I noticed my mum looking at me every now and then and adding things to my plate, I know she's just trying to make things better but it's getting annoying.
They can't ignore me for almost all my life and then suddenly want to start pampering me now.
I don't know why I'm getting this agitated.
"You should take more meat" mum said as she tried to pass the plate with meats to me and that's when I snapped, slamming my fork on the table loudly causing them both to look at me.
I sighed loudly.
"I'm sorry but you guys need to understand that you mostly ignored me since I can remember, yeah you were there for me financially and throughout my education and I really appreciate you both for that but you were never there for me emotionally, Mum did you even know when I started my menstrual cycle, no because you didn't bother, anytime I have my menstrual pain I always wanted you Mum to come and take care of me but Lovette took that job from you, I always wanted someone who would threaten guys not to come close to me but no dad you never bothered, did any of you even know I was almost fucking raped at the age of 14, no you didn't because anytime I tried to talk to you, you both always shut me out. I know you're trying to be better and also treat me better, but I don't know why I'm just so annoyed, please it's a process you can't go from ignoring me to suddenly being caring so please give me a breathing space please" I said crying already as I rushed out of the room ignoring my crying mother and the guilty look on my father's face before slamming my bedroom door shut crying my eyes out.
I hope I didn't ruin the little relationship we built with my outburst; I just hope they understand were I'm coming from.

Well?
Is her outburst accounted for or she's just being a bitch?
Please drop your opinions, I'd love to see.
