I can't believe I'm at school on a Thursday morning and can't stay focused, I was weak, confused and the worst part was the taught of Mr Ashley constantly appearing in my head. I can't believe this is happening for the first time.
I quickly pickup my things and left the class cause I couldn't stay focus at all so i decided to go to my work place. As soon as I got to the car park I heard my name out loud
Mildred.... Mildred..
I raised up my head and found out it was Grey, my course mate and childhood friend.
Hey Grey
Hey Mildred have been searching for you in class but I couldn't find you in class, I was surprised to find you here.
Yeh. I wasn't stable in class so I decided to go to my work place.
Ok, gest what!, Mildred.i
Is chas coming over ? .I said anxiously
No, she isn't. He responded
So what am I gesting?
I'm getting married next weekend and you know you and Lisa are invited.
WOW ....WOW that's great.I couldn't withstand the joy I had so I gave him a hug.
Congratulations that so good. I said with excitement
Yes it is.He said
Can we celebrate Later cause I am already on my way to work.
It fine, see you later.he said
I drove to my work place, I taught I was stressed out not remembering that me coming to work will stress me out the more, totally forgot that my work place was a cafeteria. Dairy coffee shop was as busy as usually and even more noisy, I was very busy attending to contumer when a fellow worker came to me and said
Mildred please can you help me attend to the costumer at table 39. I just received an hurgent call that I have to attend to please. I didn't have an option cause whenever I needed her help with something she always come to my aid.
Oh yes ,No problem I will . I responded
She smile and hurriedly left. I prepared the coffee but there was an issue, I prepared it so differently that it was really unique after I have finished preparing it. I took a look at the coffee it was taken a lot of time so I decided to served it to the costumer.
Sorry .. sorry it Monday I totally forgot that I am always busy at Thursday. Ashley said
Annabelle steal is Ashley business part and fiancee. Even thou Anna is married to one of the richest man in the country she still love Ashley cause of his committed to business and also of his wealth.
I said.. I'm sorry Annabelle I was busy with work. I went to Paris for a serious meeting this morning , don't worry I will make it up to you I promise,so let place an order.
I already did, but I don't know why it's taking this long. Oh... she is here already
Am sorry please for the delay . I said her not recognizing that Mr Ashley was sitting there, besides I wasn't expecting him to be here, not to imagine at table 39.
Can we get something else when we are leaving ?. Anna asked
Think I have to get you everything you need right now, don't worry I got a surprise for you .he said
immediately, as I was about to pour him coffee I mistakenly pour it on it cloth.
I'm so sorry.....i'm sorry I didn't know ,it was an accident. Instantly I raised my head it was Mr Ashley the coffee poured on .
Mr Ashley I didn't know the lid wasn't.....
It fine don't sweat it, I have double of it in my car. He said
I was so ashamed of my self I couldn't do anything and besides that, I'm going to get fired
Hey you come with me , my Senior worker said angrily.
I just knew am going to be in trouble.
Mildred....Honey you always gotta check your props. My boss said
I know I made a complete fool of myself in front of two of the biggest businesses partners in the world right now and we are going to lose a lot of contumer cause of this.
Oh! Oh! Please , Mr Ashley is notorious I doubt if Ashley will remember if he saw you, beside Annabelle is a notorious dilla it was probably her bad karma that cause it to happen in the first place.my boss said
I know how hard you worked to get this cafeteria ma
Forget it . okay ? .She said with a smile on her face . I Said
You are still getting your payments for the month and we'll keep it on your headshot untill we have something better to make this business move to the next level.she said
Yeah. But what if the small business led to something bigger?
Mildred , it's just a mistake let it slide and besides it not the end of the world, you are barely 23. You are not all lips and lashes. You're vulnerable yet you're strong.
Honey, you are my best worker here and besides my best student in class that's why I love you so much .
You are right ma, I mean cause if I don't believe in myself who will right?.
See you are great.She said

Oh! Oh! ..... I can't . I'm going back home for a wedding party .
Ok all right, well it be good for you to get away, go have fun, you just finished your last program for the semester. And Mildred..., life is seductive if you let it be

I got home earlier than usual, it was just a relief, until I heard my phone rings, it was Gray calling.

The next morning I woke up really late but I know I deserve it cause I have been stressed out lately with final grades and wanting to earn a living.i just stood from my bed and went directly to take a warm bubble bath, took good care of my skin and treated my hair I made sure I looked extremely beautiful even thou I have no were to go, cause I have to look as what I wanted ( inciting interest ) that's the first hidden secret of seduction. When growing up I used to think that seduction means seducing men but now when I started being friends with my lecturer I mean my boss , she taught me that seduction is getting what I want .I was still taken good care of myself when I received a call from an unknown caller.
Hello who is this please. I asked anxiously
Is Ashley shades ,the owner of shades empire, the ma you poured coffee on my cloth at the shop.
Oh sorry sir,I didn't meant it.
It fine , I know it wasn't intentional.he responded
Yes it wasn't, who gave you my number and why are you calling sir. I asked
I didn't think my publicity would not have a way of getting what I want and that's includes your number. He said
Don't you think I'm gonna pour hot coffee on your lap again. You know am not an idiot right .I said in a rude voice
I don't know why you are so mad at me . Just know that coffee is better in a tea cup than on my cloth .he said
Oh really !. I said
I was joking, it was just a joke, I was just trying to brighten up your day .he said
Oh.... Oh...., come on what do you want. I know you didn't call me for this sir.
He noticed I didn't want to have any discussion with him, so he ended the call.
Hey, I didn't know, excuse me , that was Ashley shades right. Lisa asked
Yes his the one . I responded
Ok ! That guy is so dreamy and he knows it . she said
Yes he does .I said
Wait so ..... Are you two like, really a thing ? Lisa asked
