Chapter 1 - CHAPTER ONE

SUSAN

I was all dressed but I had to finish my makeup and hair. I sat on the white comfortable chair, which faced opposite my dressing mirror and a white table beneath it. I looked at myself in the mirror and I couldn't stop but admire this beautiful face of mine.

I picked the cutting comb from the table, cut the left side of my black silky hair, I cut it into a curve. I opened my hair product and I immersed my hands softly into it. I rubbed the transparent cream together and I used it to press my hair down. I pressed it to the back, and I used a black hair band to tie my hair to the back. My hair was very long and full, it was reaching almost my back.

I carried the white powder on the table. I opened it, carried the foam and I used it all over my face, softly. I took mascara and I highlighted my eyelashes. I dropped it, picked my rose lipstick, placed at the power lips and I mixed it together.

I made funny noises with my mom and I could stop but admire this beautiful face of mine. The thought gripped me, I looked at myself in the mirror. I was 25, and I had never for once had a boyfriend.

I sighed looking at myself, I was too busy with work basically a workaholic. Everyday of my life was filled with work, I was the office assistant of one of the biggest shipping company in America. I was getting richer and it showed from my head to toe.

I recently bought this new apartment, with cost me a million dollars. My clothes were mostly the trending ones, a lot of my colleagues envied me and they mostly surrounded me. I was such a great person at keeping fake friends, it made me feel less lonely. Everyone gave that fake smile and they never fought with me. I mostly have office friends and they remained close to me, because I got promoted so quickly and I have reached such great heights.

All those stuff, never bothered me. My life was just too perfect and all I knew was how to work. I studied in the best universities in America and my CV could get me a job, anywhere in the world. I never owned my own business, it was going to be another stress for me. I loved my job but it was becoming tiring.

I tapped my hand on the table and I exhaled deeply. I was going to be early to work as usual. No wonder I always won best punctual staff.

I stood from the chair, making the chair to shift. I analysed my dressing, I was wearing the typical office cloth. A white expensive Prada brand shirt, that black office skirt. A very expensive black heels that made me 5ft8 tall. I wore a real diamond earrings, which matched with the diamond pendant of my silver chain.

I picked my black Gucci bag from the bed, placed my phone into it, and I walked out of my huge room. Coming out of my room, turning to the right, was the white painted walls corridor. I walked for a while and I saw my staircase that lead to the living room. I walked down it, and it was my huge living room which could accommodate billions of people.

Even though I lived alone in this huge duplex, that was almost like a mansion, I was barely around. It was only on Sundays and I had to go to church.

I walked out of the house and I locked my house. I went to my garage where I parked my cars, I opened my bag, took my keys and I pressed the button on her it. My Lamborghini lights blinked, I walked to it, opened the door, entered it, locked the door, started the car and I zoomed off the compound.

------

The elevator opened and it was my office section. My colleagues position were usually ranked high and they were mostly rich people in this section. I was obvious part of the high ranked people and people bragged on my behave.

"Hello everyone!" I waved at all of them with a bright smile, walked in with those heels majestically.

I sat at my desk and I dropped my bag on my table. It was the most bisiet section of the company, we were about twenty in this section. Our desk was connected to each other. My huge computer was at my front on the table and under it, was two drawer. My office seat had those wheels that made me swing my chair when I got bored.

I faced my laptop and I took the mouse that was beside it. I started my usual work, checking in for every investor.

Daniel swinged his chair towards me and I just sighed and I rolled my eyes. He was the most jovial but also the most annoying. He constantly looked at my computer, which made my work less comfortable.

"What are you doing?" I slightly faced him and I gave those eyes.

"Woah! Cool Suzy." He gave a sarcastic laugh.

I sighed and I continued my work. He continued looking at my computer.

"Is the voice president still disturbing you?" He whispered to me.

"Why do you care?" I reluctantly said and I sighed again.

"Nothing, I'm just asking." He giggled and he swinged his seat back to his desk, which was near me at my right.

I continued my work but his words didn't allow me to rest. The vice president was sixty two, he had three children and a wife but he still chased after me. It wasn't my fault I was pretty. I scrolled my hand softly at my forehead and I had a very bright smile.

Lilly barged into the office and she came in dramatically. Everyone hated the site of her, especially me. She was a devil and she was a spoilt rich brat. For some reason, she just hated me. I was probably prettier than her, she definitely envied that. She wore those short clothes that she couldn't even bend.

She did as she please probably because she was the so called vice president daughter. If she knew her father was chasing after me, her oral was going to be crushed.

She walked to me with those very extremely high heels. I sighed and I knew she was going to do or say something stupid. I continued my work and I completely ignored her. She held no position in this place but came occasionally and she used excuses to see her dad.

"Has my dad come?" She faked that smile and her makeup was so heavy, I could vomit.

"Why would I know?" I responded rudely and I faced my computer.

She gave me that side eyes and she walked to someone else. I continued with my work peacefully and I couldn't wait to go home at night.

Hours passed and I was still so busy with work. Lilly probably left, I didn't see her again. Her presence was definitely useless.

"The vice president is calling you ma'am." I turned to my right and I saw the office servant.

"Me?" I pointed to myself.

He nodded and he then left.

I sighed and I wished I could just get rid of him. He was the biggest obstacle in my life. I didn't want to go but he remained my boss either ways.

I pushed my chair to the back a little, stood from my sit and I turned to the right and I was walking straight. I walked for a while and his office was at the end and beside him, was the president office.

For some reason the walls were closed. During working hours the walls are meant to be transparent. I ignored that fact and I knocked the door.

"Come in." I heard the voice that gave me problem.

I sighed and I opened the door. He was sitting comfortably on his office chair. I walked into his office and I sat at the chair opposite him.

"Why did you call me...sir?" I struggled to say the last word.

"Oh yeah!" He looked busy on his computer. "Come and have a look at this."

He looked serious and he was looking at the computer constantly. I squeezed my face and this was the first time he actually called me for business. I should probably appreciate his hardwork.

I stood and I turned towards his direction. I walked to him and I stayed beside him at his left. He looked at me and he directed his eyes to the computer. I looked at the computer confused, I bent and I placed my hand on his chair.

"I have something to propose to the company but I need an experienced employee for this but it was your name that came to my mind." He seemed really serious.

Looking at the computer, it didn't seem like he was joking. I scrolled my eyes through his proposal and it was a actually making sense. I took the mouse and I scrolled down.

"I think we should actually add importation of these goods first then we can think about others." I explained to him and we were still in the same position.

The pen from his table fell to the ground. I stopped talking and we both looked at each other awkwardly.

"I'll do it." I said with inconvenience.

I bent down and I picked the pen from the floor. I smiled at him and I placed on the table. For the first time, I smiled at him.

I was looking at the computer and I wanted to continue explaining but j noticed he was looking at me. I was feeling more awkward and his eyes didn't move away from my chest.

I frowned my face and I must have been so stupid to think he would change. I sighed and my frown grew even bigger, I stood properly and I was about walking out.

He dragged my hands and he placed me to sit on his laps. He held my waist tightly. I was so shocked that my brain didn't even process what was happening.

The door opened and I openedy eyes widely to hear the sound of the door.

"Dad?" I turned and I saw Lilly.

I widened my eyes in shock. This was going to be my last day in this company!
