Early 1997
Looking at my books sprawled on the floor,I sigh and stood up with no argument,that is the daily routine for me, coming to school, being alone,and getting bullied to no stop,no one ever stop them even the teachers just walked away like they didn't see anything so I couldn't do anything than to stay obedient while I picked up my book one of the girl laugh
"Doesn't she smell?"she asked and they all burst out laughing,I bow at them and walked away,with my head down everyone knows me, Belinda Gates,the weakest girl to be picked on even newcomers knows me
"But she has a golden heart than those not smelling"
One deep masculine voice said I didn't bother turning back to look so as not to cause ruckus
Meanwhile in the hallway,the guy looked at her back while she walked away slowly and he averted his look to the students,who doesn't know Carlos Richard,the only son of the owner of the school and probably the next owner, he doesn't interfer with whatever happens but today he said something surprising everyone
"This should be the last time anyone should pick on her or you face me,are we cool with that?"
Everyone nod and he make uturn and left,he has always been in love with her since middle school but she suddenly withdraw from her former jovial self to been quiet and alone,well I would like to be friends with her but I know Linda than herself,so I will give her a little time it's the final year of college anyway
Present 2023

Behind those scary door was seated CEO Carlos Richard,he was the one in charge of interviews for today,he decided to do it because of the list he saw yesterday, Belinda Gates , I hope it is the Linda I know, I would definitely accept her in, cause I have been searching for her for many years and the reason I was,is because I love her and really missed her I didn't know when I started loving her but towards the years of college I always follow her to the cafeteria so no one would stop her,I would also follow her home whenever it's dark and late,even some of our classmates thought we were dating but never dare to raise it in front of her I was more of a stalker than a crush and now she is grown up and in my building,I wanted to hurry the interview up and respond to her but I can't showu feeling in front of my workers they are even looking at me suspiciously for coming down here to interview

He said stood up and the rest did so and bow at him,then he walked away,he looks familiar but I can't say where from,I stood up and walked out of the office room,all my practice and speaking etiquette was all wasted cause look who just got a job,I did,me, Belinda Gates just got hired as an personal assistant of the CEO of CR company,yes,yes,my dream finally come true at last,I should go share the news with Ruby,ny pet dog,she would be so excited as i am
