Feeling frustrated and stressed out he murmured a few profanities. After a long stressful trip and flight, the last thing he needed was the old man's nagging.
"Could you go faster?"Alex yelled, transferring his aggression on the innocent chauffeur .
"I'm a bit over the speed limit sir"the chauffeur replied, making Alex grit his teeth in frustration.
"Well then, make it go a little bit faster"Alex retorted, needing nothing more than to reach home and hopefully have a good rest.
"Sir, I'm try-…." Richard, his driver , let out a loud gasp and barely jerked the car to a stop before a loud thud was heard.
Closing his eyes, Alexander murmured a silent prayer,"oh God let it not be what I'm thinking" but he needed no prophet to tell him he had just hit someone or something..
"What is it Richard ? "
"Ummm Sir… we just killed a pregnant mother deer" Richard replied anxiously.
Alex turned to him with a confused gaze "seriously!!?,is that why you are so worked up.And I thought it was something serious. Richard, please get in the car and let's move."
**Adele POV**
I was coming out of the bathroom when I collided with the strong chest of a man who seemed to be in a hurry to get inside the 'female' restroom . Of all places ,it just has to be the female restroom.I wonder why?
' ouch! ' I whimpered as I fell on my butt due to the force. I was still sitting on the floor nursing my hurting butt , expecting an apology from the man who bumped into me. "Excuse you!!, Don't you know how to say sorry?" I shouted, feeling so aggrieved
'Yeah, okay' that was all I heard next .
'Are people so rude over here?
Hell !! Why is it suddenly getting colder here?'
I looked at him again, slowly standing up. But he was still on call looking all serious and cold, you know that kind of 'don't mess with me Aura was practically eminatting from him'.
OMG what if this guy is a traf**ker and I'm a target.I need to leave here asap.He can keep his apologies to himself.I need to save myself first. My paranoid mind concluded before sneaking out.

The drive from the airport to Lake View city was quite smooth.
There was no traffic and the cab driver was kind enough to engage me in a conversation.
He knows quite a lot about this city, showing me some parks, restaurants, amusement parks and some landMarks along the road. He was very friendly and it made me relax my nervous mind .
Getting to the hotel ,he helped me to offload my stuff and I couldn't help but pay more than the actual price,even though I don't have enough.
At the lounge, the receptionist gave me my room keys and after confirming my reservation online.
Finally in my room,I went to the bathroom for a nice and relaxing bath. Just when I was about dozing off there was a knock at the door.
I quickly came out with a bathrobe over my body. It was the hotel room service. They came to deliver my dinner. I thanked the girl who was about the same age as me , she just kindly smiled before leaving.
I couldn't help but sigh as I remembered I will soon be subjected to such life ,the life of a waitress and a struggling student.
Few days ago a housing authority agent contacted me to inform me that he has found an apartment within my rent budget.
And to say it was Ok? ah…. What was I expecting from a hundred dollar apartment in a City like this .
Well, I got a tiny space containing a room a small living room and a kitchen.I guess that's nice enough, but the most awful part was that my bedroom view from the window is the city dump.I couldn't complain since it took the agent such long time to find this apartment for the rent budget I offered.
I spent about one thousand, five hundred dollars for agent fees and a one year proportion .
After some days I moved into my new home. It wasn't easy thou,I was stressed,in and out. No one to show me around. No friends to talk to. I haven't talked to Lexi for some time now because of the time difference.
But that aside,I have a job to start on Monday.
yuppee!!!
