GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 1
Shay's POV"It may not be included in your schedule, but its here in mine. There is a meeting today and all the board members will be here any second so if you don't want to end up being embarrassed, I suggest you do your job and stay out of the way."At this point, my impatience with Amber was running in a thin line. I refrained from rolling my eyes and tried my hardest to keep a straight face on."Look Amber, like I said for the fifth time, Mr. Cartwright did not arrange any meeting today with the board members and even if he did I would know through Sylvia his P.A. If you still disagree with me, than why don't you ask him yourself at his office?"Her eyes narrowed in slits as she glared hard at me. Having a disagreement with someone at work happens all the time, but in this case, Amber could go as far as she can just to prove me wrong. I was telling her the truth though, there is no meeting today because Sylvia his personal assistant who's also my cousin, gave me an update on Mr. C
GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 2
Shay's POVBy the time I reached home, our butler quickly tells me that my parents and my siblings have already left for the event. I rushed to my bedroom, took a quick shower, slipped on a white formal dress and a pair of new high heels, did my hair and makeup in a hurry and drove to the place where the business event is taking place. It took about twenty minutes to get there, and as soon as the valet opened the door for me, I quickly jumped out of the car and speed walk inside. My parents and my siblings were just standing up ahead in front of a bunch of reporters and journalists taking pictures with their camera flashes barely blinding them.I joined in line next to my older sister Shelby and they gave me a side glance before looking back to the cameras and smiling. I followed them inside the hall and we sat in the front row, making sure to keep a good posture with a smile on our faces just like the "perfect" family we are. After the MC made the introductions, a few of the board me

Jason's POVThe silence in the room was starting to get more unbearable. I checked my watch again for the second time and gently closed my eyes in frustration when I saw that it was almost eleven thirty already and Chase is now more than late. I usually handle all the meetings by myself but when he suddenly called me earlier today to inform me that he's coming back to work in time for today's meeting, I was curious about the reason why. Firstly, Chase always find meetings boring even though he's my business partner and plays an important role in our company he will always have an excuse to skip important meetings like this one. Second, I know Chase better than anyone else since he's also my best friend, and I also know how much he despise his older brother Matthew Evans who's also present in the room today as one of the shareholders. So if he's suddenly interested in coming in today, than Matthew must be the reason because he loathes how much Matthew contributes in the business.If he
GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 4
Shay's POVBlind dates are the death of me. No matter how many I went to and how many guys my mother set me up with, I still don't have a likeable reason to go meet the guy on a stupid blind date. The guys are not the problem, I'll admit that some of the guys I've meet on a blind date are actually good looking and fun to talk to but I'm just not into any of them. It's not that my standards are that high it's just that, I just haven't met the right one yet. But that is not part of my long term plan right now, to be in a relationship. Maybe once I moved out from home and start living my life than maybe I'll consider seeing someone that loves me for who I really am rather than the background I have.As soon as the car stopped in front of the salon, my phone started ringing inside my purse. I took my phone out and sighed when I saw 'mom' flashing on the screen."Hello mom.""Are you at the salon yet?" I rolled my eyes and glanced out the window.Of course she would call just to make sure
GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 5
Jason's POVJogging every morning is like a daily routine for me and Chase. He would always show up at my apartment every 6am on the dot as my morning alarm and we would jog down the streets and follow the familiar trail to the park and run a few more laps before we circle back to my place. Chase is usually the chatty one, always talking about any random things that includes girls just to slow me down. But this morning was an exception. He had a serious look on his face that I've rarely seen a few times, and he was actually focused on jogging that he's suddenly running a few paces ahead of me. I caught up to him and shot him a curious glance while trying to keep up my pace with him."You okay dude?" His jaw tightened as he quickly glanced back at me."Yeah, why?" He replied with a hint of rage in his tone."Just asking. So how was that date with Falcon's daughter yesterday?"As soon as the question left my mouth, he immediately slows down and stopped running while placing his hands on
GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 6
Shay's POVAround noon, I checked the time on my phone and saw that it was almost 4pm. Since boredom is my only friend, I texted Sylvia to let her know that I'm on my way to meet her at work so we can go to her place together and hang out. I quickly changed into some casual jeans and a light top and called a cab to come pick me up cos I don't feel like taking my car or in the mood to drive. Ten minutes later the taxi pulled up in front of the company's building and I paid the driver and stepped out of the vehicle with the cool afternoon breeze blowing through my hair.I texted Sylvia again to let her know that I'm waiting for her outside and she texted me back a minute later, saying that she's almost done and she'll be down in a while. For that reason, I went into the café nearby and bought myself an iced Americano and came back out front and waited again. It was almost half past five when she finally texted back that she's on her way down now and I've almost finished my third drink f
GOLDEN GIRL CHAPTER 7
Shay's POVEvery morning is like the same routine repeating itself every day. I get ready for work and left home in my casual clothes and then later change in my car in a suitable work outfit. My mother always leaves home every morning just to meet up with her friends and have breakfast at a fancy restaurant. Sometimes I wonder whether her friends have a life or has other things to do rather than meeting up with my mom every day and talk about their boring lifestyle. My father and Shawn are the only two people who would take their time having breakfast at home first before leaving together for work. They would usually spend that time in talking about what they'll be doing for today, who will they be meeting, business things and whatsoever.I know Shelby is always having breakfast at her favorite restaurant before going straight to work. I even saw her once drinking coffee with some guy, it could be her secret boyfriend or some guy she's just seeing but honestly I highly doubt that she

The benefits are good, the plan is brilliant, and they agree with my idea.It's perfect.Mr. Russo stood up and starts to shake Matt's hand and Chase's as well, I stood up from my seat and shook his hand politely and to the rest of his team advisors and lawyer. Matt starts to escort them out of the room and my eyes quickly snapped back to Chase who slumped back in his seat with a heavy sigh. What bothers me about him was that, he was wearing his dark shades the whole time and never bothered to take them off during the meeting. I cleared my throat to get his attention and he stood up again and faced me."You were late again today." He just nods his head and stared at the portrait hanging on the wall near the door."I had to meet up with someone first. Thought it was important but I guess I was wrong."With his shades on I couldn't

Traveling, modeling, and chasing my dreams have taken on a whole new meaning. Vincent, with his enigmatic presence, crashed into my world like a silent storm, shaking up everything I thought I knew. And truth be told, I'm grateful for that unexpected collision.Before Vincent entered the picture, my life revolved around two things: traveling and my modeling career. I was passionate about both, but I had always approached them with a certain level of detachment, keeping myself at arm's length from truly embracing the experiences that lay before me.

Shanelle POVAs I sat behind the wheel of my car, driving down the bustling city streets, my mind was consumed by thoughts of Vincent. It had been two long days since we had last seen each other, those fleeting moments when he and Dan dropped us off at our hotel, leaving without much of a goodbye.

We had made it back safely, and a sense of relief washed over me.

Shanelle POVI sat on my bed the next morning, clutching my phone tightly in my hands. The screen displayed a seemingly never-ending stream of notifications, each one more anxiety-inducing than the last.

And with each share, a flood of comments and feedback poured in, all directed at me.I had worked so hard to maintain my "perfect" reputation.

Shanelle POVAs the anticipation built up inside me, I glanced at the clock on my bedroom wall. It was already 9:00 p.m., and I hurriedly surveyed myself in the mirror, making sure every detail of my outfit was just right.I had opted for a sleek black dress that hugged my curves in all the right places. Its off-the-shoulder design added a touch of sophistication, while the knee-length skirt showcased a playful edge. I paired it with strappy heels that elongated my legs and completed the look with a statement necklace and a bold red lip. I couldn't help but feel confident in this ensemble.Beatrice and Kayleen burst into my room with equally limited excitement for tonight's mission or whatever they wanted to call it. They looked stunning in their own dis
