"it's been a while since Angel's incident. I have a feeling good things are going to start overshadowing the bad". Delta twirled round in circles while she sniffed the air.
Rita is busy with the kitchen, preparing her famous meals, Michael's been lifting weights as usual while his very strong daughter, Veronica, spars with him.
"Delta! Go bring your sister down for breakfast". Rita screamed from the kitchen.
"Uh.... I don't think that would be necessary". Delta stared in awe.
Angel walked down the stairs, dressed like a working lady with nice glasses.
"It's been two weeks, I've given it some thought. I'm going to go job hunting. Taking a break from modelling doesn't mean I can't work again, right? I can't be lazy..." Angel paused when she caught everyone staring blatantly at her. "Ah! Is it the way I'm dressed? I just thought I'd make a good first impression..."
"Hey, it's ok. We're actually all happy for you". Rita exclamated.
"Yeah, do your need me to tag along? I could keep you company". Veronica's face was so close to Angel's face, she smiled and bent her head in the opposite side.
"Well, in that case, I guess you could". Angel replied, pushing Ron's head away. "You're too close".
"Don't forget to have breakfast before you leave, my dear".
"I'm off to school, guys. Bye!".
"Bye Delta!". They said.
***********
"Angel, we've gone so many places. They keep rejecting you because of the wedding incident. It's not fair. I'll have them know it's that beast's fault, my sister is very much capable". Veronica dragged her feet as she walked, kicking stones.
"It's fine as long as there's still hope. Ron, you know I never give up. I'll find a job..... Trust me". She smiled.
She looked at Angel in awe. Her sister is just so amazing.
"That's what I admire about you, your will and determination..... You're just so cool". She squeezed her in her arms making Angel short on breath. "Come on, let's go find that job".
They finally arrived at the gates of an R.C Company, an Animation and Graphics Company.
"Damnnnn! We're at an R.C Company". Ron exclamated.
"What does R.C stand for?". Angel asked in curiosity.
"Please tell me you're joking. Roland Carano, THE Roland Carano. He owns over five different working companies which are run by his people, five in the SAME city. He owns five star luxury hotels, he plants restaurants everywhere like seed. Just last week, he shut down someone's restaurant just because the food was a little spicy...."
"Isn't that against the law?". Angel asked.
"Baby girl, he IS the law. That rich bastard has got it all. His wealth is insulting and it puts others to shame. That, alone, is a crime. His gorgeous looks makes him wanted by all, but then again, his cold attitude makes him feared by all".
"Anyways, let's go in. That doesn't stop me. I just had my wedding called off, I fear nothing". Angel said, grabbing Ron by the wrist and pulling her in.
The interviewer went through her resume, she suddenly stopped.
"You're Angel Varles? THE Angel Varles?". She said out loud in shock which caught everyone's attention.
Soon they began gasping and whispering. A woman suddenly ran towards Angel and pulled off her glasses. "She IS Angel Varles". She shouted.
Everybody surrounded Angel to steal a picture with her.
"Distance yourselves from my sister or else I'll....." Angel held Veronica's hand before she could hurt someone.
" Alright that's enough. Leave us!". Kate, the job interviewer, ordered. "Sorry about that. How can you look so different with glasses on? Heck! You're so cute. Makes me wonder why your boyfriend left you at the wedding ceremony....." She paused when she caught Angel feeling uncomfortable with the conversation. "Anyways, what's a model doing in a graphics company?".
"Uh... I know a few things about animation and graphic design. I'm actually good at it,....but I'm hoping I could learn more if someone's willing to show me the ropes. I'll do my best, you won't be disappointed ". Angel assured, with Ron as the backup.
Angel was left in total confusion when Kate burst into hysterical laughter, and the others join along.
" I'm sorry about that once again. It's just that.... I'm not in the position to be disappointed, it's him you should not give a hint of disappointment. And by him, I mean the boss himself.Well, we'll get back to you later. You'll get an email of acceptance.... Or rejection, but it's always good to have hope. You may take your leave now, thank you ".
"Sure, thank you".
Ron just stared at Angel as they both walked in the crowd. She smiled and held her sister's hand, it had been a while. Since Angel had always been a threat to their lives, she distanced herself from her family. Even when she didn't emit heat, it was still actively present internally, which only Angel could feel.
"It's been a while, I miss my big sister". Veronica said to her, making Angel's lips curve up to a smile. "Sorry I came at a bad time, my flight was delayed. I would've taught Authniel a lesson. Don't worry about the job, I'm sure you'll get accepted".
"You know you're the best sister I could ever ask for, both you and Delta, the cunning little fox. I'm the older one but I'm still getting treated as the youngest". They both chuckled. "Honestly, I can't say I'm completely over him, but... probably as time goes by, I'll...." She immediately stopped her sentence.
A new feeling passed by her. She had never felt it in forever. It was like time froze at that moment and she could bask in it but it only lasted for a few seconds.
She remained puzzled. She looked around the crowd to figure out who or what made that miracle, but she couldn't find anything. The crowd didn't make it possible. Then again, she saw a guy wearing a red hat and a furry coat walking towards a car.
'Who wears a coat on a sunny day?'. She thought to herself. But just when she was about to go after him, she felt a tight grip.
"Where are you going, Angel? What's up?". Veronica asked.
She looked at Veronica with her eyes wide open. " I felt.....warm..."
