*Hot Coffee Shop*
Akira and Noah stormed into the coffee shop with a smirk on their faces.
Maya and Spencer her co-workers walked up to her quietly, they were shocked at the time she came to work. The owner was a very strict person, and he particularly likes to pick on Akira.
"Why would u come to work by this time? Do u wanna get fired?" Maya asked, looking around to make sure Mr Sam don't come out and meet them there.
"Yeah u know how harsh and hot-blooded he is," Spencer said almost in a whisper.
"I know, that's why we're here to teach him a lesson," Akira said and Noah nods. Maya and Spencer glanced at each other shocked.
' What's she talking about? ' Spencer thought perplexed, ' She has always been so scared of Mr Sam, what changed? '
"What do u mean? Are u drunk?" Maya said and turned to Noah, "Noah is she drunk?" She asked, Noah frowns at her questions.
"Does she look drunk to u?"
"No... It's just, she's saying weird things, do u seriously wanna loose ur job?" Maya asked.
"Actually, I'm here to resign 'cause I got a new job," Akira announced excitedly.
"Wow, good for u, I hope u don't forget about us," Spencer said jokingly, Akira chuckled at his statement, "Why would I do that? U guys are aware that I'll miss u so much," Akira said excitedly and gave both of them a hug.
"So I'll....."
"What's all the commotion about?" Mr Sam hearing the noise from his office came out and asked furiously, Spencer and Maya rushed back to their duty post.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the boss, I thought u were not coming.... Do u think u own this place? U think u can come anytime u deem fit huh?! U're f....."
"I resign!!" Akira yelled interrupting him.
"What? What did u say?" Mr Sam asked.
He couldn't believe his ears, Akira was the main reason he has a lot of people in his shop daily, because of her good looks, people come there a lot just to admire her.
' Why's she suddenly resigning? ' He thought not knowing that it was his fault.
"What did u say?" He asked still been arrogant.
"I said I resign, I'm not working for u anymore," Akira repeated, Mr Sam burst out laughing.
"U resign?" He asked in a mocking tone, "U're joking right? Do u think it's easy to have a late comer like u work for me?" He scoffs, "No company would even give u an interview, u poor wre...
*Buuuu*
He received a punch on the face from Noah who could no longer watch him disrespect his sister.
"Argh," He moved back holding his face in pain.
"Don't think u can disrespect my sister and go scot-free, she doesn't work for u anymore, and guess what? She got a job in one of the best companies," Noah informed.
"Miller's Enterprise?" Spencer asked.
"No Xander Enterprise," Noah answered with a smile, Maya, Spencer and Mr Sam looked up surprised.
"Akira u must've saved a country in ur past life," Maya said, Akira chuckled softly.
"I think so too u're so lucky," Spencer said, "Thanks guys, I have to go now, good bye Mr Sam have a great day, I'll come back tomorrow to celebrate with u guys," Akira said.
"Spencer make sure to invite ur friends too, even u Maya," Akira urged.
"Mmm," they simply said with a nod.
"Let's go Noah,"Akira signaled, they both turned to leave, Akira put on her sunglasses and walked out stylishly. They were both standing outside when Akira heard her phone ringing in her bag, she took it out and saw that it was Liam calling, she answered the call and placed the phone on her ear.
📞 Hi Liam.
📞 Hi Akira, ho.....
📞 I've gotten a job. Akira interrupted excitedly.
📞 Really? Where?
📞 Xander Enterprise.
📞 Wow, that's great, so... When are u celebrating it?
📞 Tomorrow, at the coffee shop.
📞 I'll be there.
📞 Ok bye then, see u there. Akira said and disconnected the phone call.
"U didn't even allow him to say why he called," Noah said, Akira turned to him.
"I was just too excited, besides I know the reason he called, instead of hurting his feelings by rejection, it'll be better for him not to ask," Akira explained.
Liam is a very close friend to them, he has being her friend since she was little, he has always tried to help them but Akira would always decline saying she doesn't want to burden him with her family issues.
"He wants to give u a job right?" Noah asked, Akira nods slightly.
"Let's go for shopping big sis," Noah said changing the topic.
"Are u a girl?" Akira asked with a slight chuckle.
"No, it's just I want to choose a perfect office suit for u to start work with," Noah said, "Ok let's go," Akira accepted then they stopped a taxi, they both entered.
*MILLER ENTERPRISE*
Liam dropped the phone on the table after Akira disconnected the call, he sighed solemnly, ' Why does she always stop me from helping her. '
' Why can't she just accept my help? ' Liam thought frustrated.
"I really love her," He mumbled.
He actually called her to tell her that he secured a job for her in his company as his PA but she didn't let him speak.
"Why does it have to be in the Xander Enterprise? It would've been better somewhere else like the Wang's," He mumbled. He wasn't close with the owner of the Xander Enterprise.
"I hope we don't turn enemies, he shouldn't try anything with my woman," He thought.
Liam and Akira have been close since childhood and Liam's parents are very familiar with her, he loves her but she only sees him as a friend and a brother.
"I hope I get the chance some day to tell her how I truly feel and I hope it wouldn't be too late," he was lost in thoughts when his phone began to ring. It was his little sister Lina calling, she just recently graduated from a college in city M where their parents base, so she was coming to City X to stay with Liam for a while.
📞 Hey Big bro, I've arrived.
📞 That's great, how was ur trip?
📞 It was fun, are u coming back soon?
📞 Yeah, I'll just round up and come home.
📞 Okay bye Big bro, see u at home.
📞 Ok take care.
Liam said and disconnected the phone call, he kept his phone back on the table and looked down on the pile of files on the table.
He sent his assistant to City M to take care of things there pending on when he would go back there.
He opened the files slowly going through them one after the other.
