AshleyI had enough reasons to cry. But I didn’t, because I wanted to give a last try to my job.  I packed my things as Lara wished for me to win. “Bye, Lara,” I said while taking my phone off the charger.“Bye. Good luck, sis”“Thank you” I left the house taking my suitcase and took a cab for the airport. I am Ashley Jones. I had been a good girl, but not a lucky one. I had been kicked out of my last job and had voluntarily left the preceding

Ashley“Get ready for your task one” he smirked and I nodded.“Follow me” he ordered and I followed him as he led us to some distinct corner. He looked at the small sensor at the corner of the door and it opened. It was… iris recognition.We went inside and trust me, it all felt like I am doing some high-level FBI work.As I stepped inside, he stopped. “You have completely five minutes, find the 56th desktop, and write an email convincing Mr. Houston to agree to 6% shares other than 10%.

The CEO of this heaven?“And trust me or not,” his vision lingered on my eyes for a small moment. “This was my first apology till… now. I never apologized to anyone”The sole sound of that sentence made shivers run across my body. He was here; he was apologizing. Maybe I shouldn’t be that stubborn anyway.
