EPILOGUE PART 2B E N Coral leaves my office. I faced my back to the door as I begin to take my blazer from my chair. I hear the sound of the door opening again, the same time I placed my blazer around me. I fixed my collar as I push my hair off my face."She's here sir." Coral states.I nod.The sound of the door closing."I'm so honored to have this kind of opportunity Mr. Saintclare." A sweet voice speaks and I know it wasn't Coral. "Thank you so much for letting me have this quick interview with you." She adds.I spin myself around to face her, "I actually didn't want--" I stopped with what I was going to say when I finally saw her.I paused.I stare at her longer.Her long hair was strawberry blond, and her eyes... I think they were a pair of light blue. She stood there, squirming and felt uneasy standing before me. I look at her from head to toe and she was simple. She was wearing a dirty coveralls with hand prints on it, a tank top beneath, and a pair of dirty white Converse s
PrologueHe placed the money on top of the table right in front of her. Her eyes were quick enough to land at the bills."That's $3,000." He says.He kept staring at her eagerly while his hands holding onto each other."What's your name?" He asks."Well... You can call me anything you want to, babe." She flirts, trying to hide her real identity.She smiles at him as the music blares loudly through the walls of the club."Why are you doing this?" He asks.She grins at him while she twirls her glass of champagne in little circles."Why not?" She asks back.She slightly pulled her head up to him and just smirked at the man who was wearing a charcoaled black suit and tie with a white dress shirt under it. He sits right across her with his leg over the other as he tries to study this kind of woman that he hasn't met before."You don't have to do this you know? You don't have to be this.... kind of woman that you're not." He adds."You don't know me." She says."But you don't have to be lik
1T H E AI walk my way to Mrs. Victoria's office with my heart thumping hard against my chest. To be honest, I don't like walking inside her office all alone. It's like walking inside a lion's den.Everyone knows that she's very strict and very moody. Bipolar, at some point actually. When she wants you inside her office, it's either she's going to scold you for doing something wrong at work or either she fires you. Either way, it's always negative when she calls an employee inside her den.I'm not saying that she's always moody or angry, but there would be times that she's nice but that's very very seldom to happen. Then there are most times when she's maddening and bossy as hell which happens almost always in every day of the week.Sometimes I questioned myself why did I ever wanted to be an intern here. Maybe because she deceived me. She was nice when she interviewed me, I guess it was all for the show just so she can lure employees in to work for her. Hence the magazine name, Lure
1.5T H E A I get on Twitter and searched for his verified account; @BenStyles. I wasn't shocked anymore to see his 30 million followers on it. That's already the total sum of the populations of so many countries. I expected a huge amount of people to follow him anyways, and this dude sure is famous as hell. So I was one of the 30 million that follows him.My doorbell chimes so I rushed to it only to find Kylie Moore and Jonah Jane, my two best friends slash board mates. We live in one apartment building where we were just doors away next to each other. Kylie lives next to me while Jonah was just across us.The three of us are like Neapolitan ice cream. Kylie and I took up English Literature, and Jonah took Modern Art. Kylie and Jonah came from a well-off family, I didn't. Kylie and I are tall in height. Jonah is the elf. Kylie and I use logic in all aspects of life most especially when it comes to relationships and falling in love while Jonah is Team Feelings all the way. Jonah is t
2Later, after Kylie and Jonah had left after we had dinner together so they could finally sleep, I decided to stay up for a bit. I head to my bed, settled on my pillow with my laptop on my lap.I stayed up until one in the morning, reading more and more since I've already dug up some dirt about him.Benedict Edward Rose Styles. Twenty-five years old. Fuckingly wealthy. He got a headline the day when the world found out he was the first born of Harry Styles from a one night stand. Mr. Harry Styles used to belong to an insanely famous boyband years ago called One Direction, later he turned to be a ridiculously filthy rich businessman. His mother, Miranda Rose Styles, at first kept him in secret for seven years from Harry and the entire world since she wasn't ready to tell everyone about him. Mrs. Styles was also married to her ex-husband Louis Tomlinson which was Harry Styles' best friend who turned out to also be a part of One Direction.Not too cliche kind of love triangle.At age se
3The building itself looked amazing with every fancy mirrored windows all piled up beautifully. Oh god I'm really here. I take a deep breath in before stepping inside and my own reflection pains me.Inside the lobby, the floors were in white marble and granite that spreads all through out from one end to another beneath my feet. Here holds a steel that keeps the glass staircase in tact which leads to the second lobby floor and a see-through elevator that zooms up and down. The building looked like an edgy nightclub but as quiet as a museum.As I walked passed the revolving doors and deeper into the reception. Oh fuck me, everybody at the lobby is looking at me. I can't do this. I just can't.I take a deep breath in and exhaled. Get your shit together Thea, this is a once in a lifetime chance. Your internship is at stake. You'll embarrass the name of Lure Magazine. Even though I'm already embarrassing the magazine's name because of how I dressed.I walk up to the reception even though
4When we went out of his office, the four lovely ladies flinched when they saw us walking out together. They looked at me and Benedict as if it was the first time they ever saw him walking a woman out from his office. Even the look on their eyes could kill me this instant.But I didn't mind them, I'm still bothered that I didn't get to ask more questions than I should have. It was my only chance. It took them three weeks and two days to give me a call, I'm sure I'll be waiting for another week just for another interview with him.I groan inwardly."Coral." He called out."Yes sir?" The lady who welcomed me answered him."Cancel my meeting with the Japanese investors and my lunch meeting at Henri's." He instructed.I was left here squirming next to him while I was busy flickering my fingers together as I watch Coral's eyes widened with what he said. She glared at me."I want my schedule clear after my board meeting." Benedict added.Coral nods. "Yes sir."Benedict stopped and felt him
5"We rushed here as soon as we got your text!" Kylie rushes inside as soon as I opened the door for them.I laugh. "It's good to see you too." I say as I closed the main door then walked with them to my bed."How'd it go?" Jonah asks."Not what I expected it but good." I answer her while I finish my earring."Deets. Now." Kylie stares at me.I walked closer to my bed and I was torn on what I should wear. My towel was wrapped around me and my hair was still undone."Help me on what to wear." I tell them."Holy shit! Did he ask you out for a date?! Right away?!" Kylie worried."Girl at least be hard to get." Kylie smacks my arm."What?" I gaped. "No he didn't.""Then what's all of this?" Jonah arches her eyebrow at me."He gave me a chance to interview him again. The first time was only ten minutes. So he told me to me come back to his office again today by three. That's why I need to make a good impression because the first one totally sucked." I tell them while I picked up two blouse
