Chapter one The job interview.The alarm rang and Emily covered her ears with the pillow. That darn alarm and it's noise. She tossed and turned on the bed , rubbing her sleepy eyes with her hand. She really wants to sleep some more. She had been reading throughout the whole night and she just slept around the morning. She muttered a curse as the alarm rang again.

And there's isn't a day that they will come home feeling energetic. They were always tired. Working at that company required a lot of hard work and dedication. No wonder they company was doing well in sales. They're staff are quite competent. They all went into their rooms to relieve themselves of the sweaty clothes. Summer was fast approaching and everywhere was getting hot and stuffy.Mera went into her room and took off her clothes , headed into the bathroom for a cold soothing shower. She came out much better and relieved.She put on a pair of cotton short and some crop top.

The red wine was long gone and now she tipsy and the earth was spinning under her feet Her face had gotten red , no doubt , from the alcohol . The atmosphere was silent , serene even and she feared she might do something she'll regret for quite a while unless she get going now . She knew what she had to do . Just tell Micheal and he'll send his driver to send her home . But the words refuse to come .She closed her eyes and tried again . Nothing ! Only a few croaking sound that never even left her throat . "I ....err ...think I better get going .. " she managed to get the words out .
