Chapter 1
"Come on, Pim; you're too slow. Does it really have to take you ages to get me a cup of water?" Fon groused as Pim hurried with the water to her.
''And where are the headphones I asked for?"Ling asked, opening her palms.
"Sorry, Ling; but I couldn't find them in the room" Pim replied lazily, touching her forehead.
'What? Have you gone blind? What do you mean you couldn't find it?' Ling groused.
"Come on girls. The fact that she's going to start working at Q.B and CO has suddenly made her blind" their mom said and they chuckled.
"I wonder why she insisted on going to work there. Does she think she will be able to win any of the richest people with that?' Ling asked and they laughed again. Pim bent her head and sniffed.
"No, I couldn't afford shedding a tear; not on a special day like this" Pim mumbled to herself.
"Enough of the jokes; I've warned you to stop doing this" Mr. Brown the old man voiced out and Pim smiled seeing the only man she could call family. Although, Mr Brown wasn't her biological dad, he had insisted she call him dad. Whenever he's around, his wife and daughters never get to bully her.
He climbed down the stairs into the sitting room. "Are you ready?' he asked Pim and she nodded with a smile, she took her bag from the table and looked at the old man daughters and their faces were already swollen with rage. She bent her head and walked out of the room and Mr. Brown.
Pim was adopted by Mr. Brown, he would always tells Pim the story of her accident; how he had found her staying at the bridge back years ago and when she was about crossing the main road to the other bridge she had an accident.
She was taking to the hospital for treatment but when she regain consciousness, she lost her memories and couldn't recall a single thing from her past. Pim had no idea where she came from.
Mr. Brown had even put her up on Tv, News paper, radio station but no one came for her. He took her in as his daughter but his wife and kids never accepted Pim for once. They all saw Pim as a nuisance and didn't want to associate with her.
His kids actually work under his company, Pim was just a sad, lonely girl who wonders where her family might be and why they never came for her.
Well, thank goodness she fell into the hands of someone as kind as Mr. Brown.
Right now, Pim is about to work as a cleaner under one of the most biggest companies in the country, it's just a normal cleaner but she's going to be the cleaner of the company own office and you wouldn't believe how happy Pim is, to get in there. It meant be a cleaner but getting such position in that company is not an easy task not to talk about a normal worker working with coworkers.
It's actually one of the best companies in the country, but unfortunately, Mr. Brown is a very busy person and he travels out of the country a lot. As a matter of fact, he will be leaving the country again by tomorrow, and that's quite sad for Pim because, each time he isn't around, his wife and kids make her life a living hell.
Pim got into the car with her dad and sat at the back seat. She smile widely. For once, she had the opportunity to be happy about going to work and earn on her own. Yeah, It's a company for only the rich; like, very rich and Pim only got lucky because Mr. Brown is one of the rich man.
Pim connected her headphones as her dad started the car. Yeah, that's her; she actually a music freak. She over love singing with passion, more over she love to board casting music.
She played one of her favorite songs as she closed her eyes, enjoying the song. It was "Birds of a feather. By Billie Eilish."

Mayor May is the most popular richest lady in the city, a single beautiful tall slim lady, crazily handsome, sexy, hot fashioned and sparingly wealthy lady.
Don't be shock when I say she's single, getting shock or wondering about that is a waste. Yeah, that beautiful wealthy lady is single.
Well, that's because Mayor May is no longer with her ex fiancee. Her ex broke up with her years ago, and since then, nobody has ever heard from her talking about relationships again.
She was actually the lovely person, but since her ex left, she has never been the first Mayor May they all know.
According to what, everyone heard, May and her ex were childhood friends and were both lovers and her ex is a lover of music as a result, their careers gets in between them, as it was what they news says.
Mayor May left music industry, she stop every contract with music band and since she left, her ex Crystal also changed. Crystal was a happy flirty lady, but since May left, that happy personality of her died off, and she became a quiet explorer.
Yes, since May left, she had about two girlfriends and they all ended up dead and as a result, she been abstaining from the company of girls. She been trying as much as possible to avoid any contact with girls, actually in her mansion they are no female workers there; even her cook is a male.
Pim wonder what could have happened between May and her ex, and what could also be the cause of the death of the ladies she loved. Or, could it be just a coincidence? Or could there really be something or someone behind it? And why did it start happening after May left?
Well, it's not like what happened stopped Crystal from being a singer. She is always cute, but May was the hottest.
When Mayor May was around, it was difficult making a choice between both of the ladies because they were both charming and breathtaking.

PIM'S
Trust me, if I were to choose between Mayor May and Crystal, I wouldn't know who to choose. Too bad Mayor May left, but it's a good thing Crystal was still around to fill up the space. I'm still wondering why Mayor May left and where she is. Will she ever come back and work together?
"We're here" my dad's voice broke into my thoughts and I opened my eyes and discovered that we had already gotten here. Oh, heavens! Was this a company building or an heaven?
Gush! I'm so amazed.
I came out of the car and stood like a statue looking around with amusement. This building was magnificent. it looks prettier than it seems on TV and magazines. I can't believe I'm actually here.
(Q.B and CO) Queen Beaty and Co is owned by Mayor May.
People from outside the country travel down here just to attend for business.
May always isolates herself from everyone, and on most occasions, she visits the company. She had really turned out to be an explorer. She always come to the company just to surprise workers but now since the break up it hard to see one of them. But whenever she comes around, they entire place is always set on calm, and I also heard some female workers end up collapsing, with just a look from her. She's really hot isn't she?.
I hope I also get to meet face to face with her. News be told Mayor May never come around, and now female or male can clean or work even if she's there. Dad held my hand as we headed for the manager office and I couldn't stop admiring the entire place. Securities were everywhere and pretty men and ladies could be seen walking in pairs and taking pictures.
Dad and I got to the office but at that time, the manager was kind of settling an issue between two workers. We were asked to wait outside. We sat on the three-seater chair outside the office together with one other man and I just couldn't wait to see the manager so that he'd assign me to my duties.
While we were seated there, three pretty ladies walked by and they were talking about Mayor May.
Wow! Seriously?
Then, two other boys walked by and they were talking about Ken.
My role model! She was also a singer. And a worker here.
She's actually best in business ideas. I hope I also get to meet her here as well.
The meeting in the office was taking long and I was kind of getting impatient already.
I stood up and walked to the window in the passage, taking a look outside. It was so beautiful.
I looked back at dad and he was busy with his laptop. well, like I said, he's a very busy person.
Then, I decided to take a look around. Yes, just around the passage. I started walking and noticed the passages were free of workers moving about. They were probably in working.
I came to a staircase and sat by i brought out a book from my bag, it was my song book.
I opened it and started writing new lyrics that came to my mind while I sat. I really love singing a lot, and I wish I would have an opportunity to explore it.
I was still writing in my song book when I heard a soft sound that caught my attention.
It seemed someone was playing they keyboard.
I listened carefully and noticed it was coming from upstairs.
Who could it be?
It was so enchanting.
I stood up and slowly, I started climbing the stairs. As I drew nearer, the sound got clearer.
But just as I finished climbing the stairs, I saw a write up that read:
"Restricted order by Co".
Huh?
Oh-oh.
But there was someone in. Why does it have to be restricted?
I stood still and the sound of the keyboard kept enchanting me. Only an expert can play this good. It was a slow emotional song and I wondered who it could it be.
There was a big room ahead and the door was slightly open and it was obvious the sound was coming from there.
I looked around and couldn't find anyone.
Then, creepily, I walked pass the sign written on the wall and entered the room.
Like I said earlier, it was big and at the entrance were just scattered books, shelves ,canters, cartoons and papers. It looked more like a storage room.
I walked further and finally, I found the expert. Hah!
At last.
I smiled and looked at her and...wait!
Isn't that...
Oh, my God!
It's May.
Whaat?!
I quickly ran and hid behind a canter.
Oh, my God!
Am I dreaming or what? am I really looking at May with my bare eyes?
It's a good thing she was backing me, else, I'd have been caught.
Oh, my!
No wonder it was a restricted area. She wanted to be alone. She always wants to be alone.
Then that means I shouldn't be here. If I get caught, I'm definitely going to get unemployed.
But at that moment, I couldn't help but admire her. Why is she in here. I mean she's not even a singer but can play keyboard.
Despite the fact she was backing me, I could still manage to have a side view of her face.
Oh, my!
She was so charming and cute.
She had a tattoo on her hand and a diamond ring on her finger.
Now I understand why the sound was so emotional. She's really in an emotional state.
All the ladies I have been dying for her. But too bad they only get to see her from a distance or on TV since she doesn't sing or associating with girls she's just do commercials tv show. I heard she's kind of made cold hearted to some extent people get scared to face talk to her mostly when she's angry.
I wonder what really happened to them.
Suddenly, she stopped playing and I wondered why. I was kind of enjoying it.
"Do you realise this is a restricted area?" She asked and I swear, my heart stopped beating.
What?
Does she know I'm here?
I gasped and turned around in fear, leaning my back on the canter.
Oh, God!
How did this happen?
