She remembered the little talk she had with her mother and it helped sooth her worrying mind. She rubbed her eyes for a while adjusting it to the already bright day. She turned left checking her little desk clock, it read 8am, she gasped a bit before laughing at herself, she had slept a lot, again. Shaking her head, she turned towards her bed as she began her morning prayers, she expressed her thanks to God for the new day and for the blessings In her life. After thanking God, she prayed for grace throughout the new day before saying her Grace. After the short prayer, she got up from her bed, arranging it in an orderly manner, and heading to the bathroom to officially get the day started.
The bath was short but refreshing, helping her stay cool for the day ahead. After

It happened so fast that she couldn't realize what had happened at first, only the strong hands that wrapped around her waist brought her mind back to realize she hadn’t been crushed by the car. Then who was holding her? Another question popped on her mind, though Her questions were answered as she slowly opened her eyes to see an all too familiar face standing inches away from her face again. Standing in front of her was the ever handsome and well sculpted Mr Black who was dressed in a blue velvet Armani suit with expensive jewelry to match. Grace is speechless as she stands still not responding to any thing, she was oblivious to the constant questions of concern coming from Me Black who still held her waist in place. “Are You Okay Ms Winters?”.

A gentle tap on her face was enough for her to wake up from her sleep, She opened her eyes first adjusting it to her surroundings while her brain tried to compute where she was exactly. The black interior of what seem like a car and the voice of the person next to her was enough to make her realise she was still seated in his car, Mr Black's car, and From her head position--- She was rested on his shoulders. "I'm sorry". She spoke up immediately, Pulling herself away from him. She felt her body exposed a bit, so she bent her head to inspect the position of her top, and her eyes widened when she noticed it had risen up so much, it was just directly under her breasts. She tries to subtly adjust it, slowly holding the gem of the top to pull it down. Grace turned unconsciously to look at Mr Black whose eyes where directly on her.

The cafe was calm, The scent of coffee filling the air, people made small chatters sipping on their coffees. Some focused on their works typing on their laptops or pads with a coffee cup at the side, occasionally sipping from it when tired. As everyone seemed busy in their own world either chatting with friends or working, Grace sat at a distant corner of the cafe lost in thoughts occasionally sipping on her coffee which she ordered not too long ago. She was seated at the corner of the cafe on a table for two, she had arrived a few minutes ago after collecting herself and mustering the courage to leave the Cemetery, take a bus and then head to the small cafe at her stop, though the fear still eminent in her mind. Grace was scared, like really scared. Her Mum's income were all they had, Her monthly income of 5,000 dollars was what was putting food on her table and a roof over her head.

He had a beautiful smile too which made her blush a lot. He was wearing a casual outfit of white T-shirt and jeans like a match to hers. "So what is a beautiful girl like you doing sitting here alone". Jason asked. "I just want to stay alone I guess". She answered unsure. "Oh I'm Sorry, am I disturbing then?, I can leave".

He said cutting her short, He saw the way her face frowned at the mention of worker, she looked around to see everyone looking at her in shock, they didn't expect their boss lady to be shouted at, But he was the real boss and he was back. "Mr Black most of these workers are trusted employees that have been with us the longest, I can't just fire them." Rebecca said trying to persuade him.

I stood by the receptionist desk as Jane walked out of her desk with some files in her hand which she handed to me . "This are the files Melissa asked me to hand to you before she left". I took the files, reading briefly through it.The files were the reports I had asked her to do on the two ladies, Kristen and Lia whom I had a meeting with today.

I asked already knowing the truth, he had called me three days to the auditions to beg for a spot for her, knowing I had the final say. I didn't think much about it considering I didn't favor people unless it benefited my interests, but after the auditions I couldn't help but give Her considering how good she was after Grace. "Well what's not there to fuck man, she's a whole package, you can't tell me she isn't hot man!". He said moaning, I sighed getting up. "I have my preferences and it is certainly not Kristen".

I said nothing. The elevator soon released a 'ding' sound and the doors opened ajar for us to pass through. We did not head for Mrs Denver’s office anymore, rather we passed through a door besides Mrs Denver’s office and found ourselves in a busy office of approximately fourteen people with two empty chairs. The office seemed to have been designed in sections that only added to the beauty and architectural intelligence on it’s designed, I gasped at the clean and seemingly healthy working environment.

Doris Denver sat crossed legged on the Black wooden seat hidden behind the huge office desk at the centre. A slow jazz song played through the huge office and D.D moved her head slowly to the sound of the song while her eyes followed the pages of the file she was flipping in her hands. Two persons, A man and A woman both dressed in cooperate attire stood in front of the desk with their hands both folded to the back. Grace walked into the office with her tiptoe and her head first making sure not to make a noise. Once in, She tried closing the door gently behind herself, but that was a huge fail. Her plan to be discreet was a fail as the door made a creek sound once it connected to the wall. The eyes of the three persons in the room immediately turned to face her. D.D who was reading a file closed it up and placed it on the table before pulling her glasses and placing it on the table. “Welcome Miss Win

The office was similar to Mr Black's office, it was Big and had a mix of all shades of Grey and Black, it was a calm office, one that seemed to resonate with the owner. The only pop of colour were the lavender Flowers that was situated at the four corners of the room. As Grace walked into the office, She immediately spotted Mrs Smart sitting upright on her chair behind her table with her arms crossed. Miranda looked a bit different from the first time Grace had seen her. Standing in front of her soon to be boss in such proximity and clearer mind, she was able to examine her soft features and hard exterior. Miranda was a beautiful middle aged woman, just like all the women Grace had seen earlier, she resonated her own beauty and was pretty in her skin.

The feeling of excitement mixed with fear and anxiety remained the same, like the first day she had walked through the huge doors of the building in hopes for a better life. Grace clutched on to the little blue file in her hand, one that contained the unprofessional CV she had managed to create after deciding not to cry again and finally searching on the internet as she wasn’t experienced in creating one. Grace’s eyes were puffy, and her naturally blue eyes were red, She had cried for the whole of the night only stopping when she remembered she had a job the next day. Grace stood In front of the huge building with a smile, Though she was scared inside, she decided not to tremble from it, rather, She put on a cool exterior and walked into the office.

Women of all ages chatted inside while a group of ladies dressed in a particular style , black pencil skirt, white button dress suits , a blue silk scarf tied to the left, black panty hose and their hair braided neatly to a bun. They looked oddly similar, but very beautiful women. At first glance at the slightly taller one in the store that caught her attention, she could tell she was working there. Grace gathered herself, envelope in hand and her cross bag to the side, she walked her way inside with the help of a man in black suit one who she assumed to be a guard.
