BRITTANY
"Miss Raies "
I walk into my office confidently in my strapless pencil dress, feather jacket and three inch heels, taking every step graciously with the young accountant trailing behind me.
Hmm, miss.
That would be over soon. I think twirling the massive gold and diamond on my ring finger.
Taking my seat at the back of the huge desk, i put my elbows down on the polished wood, intertwining my manicured fingers together under my chin.
"So tell me Mr Jerome, how is the mobile distribution going?"
It's been four months now since i started working in this company ,and in that short spam of time, I've managed to climb my self up to the position of assistant CEO of the biggest electronics companies in Granville and one of the biggest in the whole of us.
One of the perks of dating the founder, owner and CEO of same organization.
A year ago, i never would have thought, I'll be anywhere close to a building like this one, not to mention sitting in the big seat and managing the affairs of everything going on inside out, especially since Andrew isn't always here so that gives me more advantage to everything.
"Wonderfully "he replies taking a seat for himself in front of me. "we have about eighty million sales each in about forty countries as for the first distribution batch "
"Good, good "i nod my head in approval "and our risen income? How much would you rate the improvement from the last sales "
"Seventy five percent miss "
I nod again and hum, this is good improvement, and if my plan goes accordingly, everything would be perfect.
"So once the process is done and finished... "i give him a knowing look "...you know what to do "
The expression on his face changes and he looks grim. "do i have to really? "
"Yes "i glare at him praying his not going to try or say anything stupid.
"You know if we... "
"I'm getting married to Andrew very soon and once it's done, there wouldn't be any need to be having all this dubious thoughts anymore because i will take care of everything.
He stares at me a little for a while, not seeming contented with my agreement with him first. Then he nods his head and says "if you say so miss Raies "
"Good " i smile. One of the brilliant features of myself ,i can be really convincing you'll get confused. "now Mr Jerome, this is just between the two of us and if one word of this gets out... "
"What if it does? " he challenges adjusting his glasses.
I huff "who do you think they will believe? My word against yours. "i smirked "and then you'll loose your job, I'll hire someone else willing to do it for me, perhaps even a female "
He swallows and nods in understanding "you know, for an undergraduate you know how to play your game "
A silly smirk plays even wider on my lips as i watch him walk away.
Well, that was easy.
LEXA."Posters are out already! "Alice exclaimed as she pulls out one of them from the notice board. "our final exams are just three months away !"she said flipping her platinum hair over her shoulder with a small pout on her red lips as we walked over to the cafeteria together."Already? "i ask.I'm not prepared, after the hole slacking thing in my last chemistry test, i don't know if I'm ready to jump into finals now. I've been so busy with work and everything else that i barely have time to study now."Yeah it's all over the school walls, and I'm not even half way ready "she sighs and i throw her a glance "okay, I'm not ready at all " a defeated look passes her face. "maybe I'll just drop medici
"What did you do? " i whisper to Alice referring to the little stunt she pulled back in the cafeteria. After she left with Finn he hasn't showed up to me again... Yet. And I'm starting to wonder what the infamous Alice Neama did to get rid of the all so famous jerk of the century.She simply shrugs and winked at me going back to pretend to listen to what Mr Louis whom i personally prefer to call humpty was saying.You can't blame me for striking up a conversation during class. I mean it's history, even I can say that i never listen during this class, although that has something more to do with the old humpty we have as a teacher, because trust me I'm not the only one.The guy just literally keeps talking to him self none stop, and that is all he does. Sit and talk b
Crap! I'm running late again for the what?... The Fifth time this week?.I'm screwed, yeah. Definitely screwed .and my feet hurt, i can't tell how many times I've had to run on heals anymore and i don't think i can ever get used to it because these things hurt like hell.Damn heals!I should have just gone with the vans but i can't. Because victor is just a regular asshole.Finally getting to the bar, i met it extremely crowded with an extra busy Jim.This is the thing about down side, it has absolutely no age limit and doesn't give two fucks about illegal teenage drinking just as long as it's making good money. Which is why on Bu
"Alexa, we need to talk "Urgh! Not again!I brush past him with a nonchalant expression and head straight to my room. "no we don't.""Yes we do! "he grabs my arm to keep me from walking away.I turn around with a grunt and pull my arms out of his. "what do you want Andrew? "he winced, as if I'd clawed his hands away.He's dark brown eyes stare at me with some sort of expression that i can't decipher. He digs his hand into his messy black curls and ruffles them. "have dinner with me. "My eyes went bulging out of their sockets. The only time we had ever had dinner together was when i was seven. His family came ove
I decided to try something different today. You can only do the same thing for so long and eventually decide to try something new.The moment i step into school hallway with my purple summer dress, above knee length and black ankle boots. A little touch of mascara and lip gloss, shocked me too, Shoulder length hair packed in two curly buns. People begin to stop and stare accessing me and whispering to themselves.I don't know if it's because of my new change in wardrobe or there's something on my face, but it's creeping me out, I've never been one to like attention.But my question is answered when the oh, all too famous, Trevor Turner stops beside my locker while I'm picking out my books, smiling... No smirking at me with an arm
She's just sitting there alone, twirling with her fingers and staring of into space, or someone. I don't need to look to know who it is.A small sigh escapes my lips and i walk down to sit opposite her, wordlessly swapping my tray of fries and ketchup that i exchanged for mayonnaise because of this exact reason for her small plate of salad and bread sticks. I hate salad but right now i don't mind waiting a few more hours till i can get home and eat proper food. Alice on the other hand breaths on fries, which makes me wonder why she's having a plate of salad to begin with.She looks at me but doesn't say anything and just mindlessly starts dipping her fries into the mayonnaise but still i can spot the faintest hint of a smile on her lips."Are you still going to keep avoid
I lay by the window, watching the droplets hit the ground with the ticking sound. I stand to my feet and push the lid open letting my hands stretched out allowing the cold droplets of rain wash me."You really think i should do it? "i ask lying back down and watch the water wash over the green yard. "she said she'll pay, but i don't think i want to be anywhere near him ""Babe you're still going to have to face him one way or the other, if he wants to get to you he will no matter what way it would be, you rather just do it while making something out of it "Ali says that last line in a duh tone over the phone, i can imagine her flipping her platinum hair.I gave a frustrated sigh "i don't know "."Think about it Lex, you need this, besides its worth more than you were earning in that bar to be honest. " that's true, but i know Ali doesn't really
Dinner isn't going well at all. I feel uncomfortable with two burning gazes on me, one a deep shade of mesmerizing blue and the other, the darkest of browns. I force myself to force food in my mouth that are surprisingly really good but don't feel as good because of the intensity of the situation.They'd been trying to get me to say something, pulling small talks here and there but so far nothing is working, i just continue to ignore them completely increasing my pace so i can go back to my room and study a little before retreating for the night."We are getting married "Brittany finally blurted.I freeze.Slowly lifting eyes to look up at the woman who said those words, i find her staring at me intently gagging my reaction and Andrew sending daggers to the side of head with his eyes. "what did you say?"
