A dark brown hair , tan complexion, dark eye man exited the building in his sports car and drove straight to his restaurant . He was Owen Brown, a renowned chef who had opened several restaurants and cafes across South California . He first opened his cafe plus restaurant The Dream six years ago, he has his own cooking show. He had everything: power, money and obviously women. He goes through them faster than changing clothes. Paparazzis elected him as bachelor of the year .

Owen parked his car and tossed the car keys at the valet .

“Park the car”. He rushed inside to attend the meeting with the investors . He was running late , he had to make sure the girl he brought last night left his apartment after she went all crazy when he refused to give her more.

He entered the restaurant where his secretary and bartender were talking at the bar . Upon seeing him his secretary rushed to tell him his schedules, and that his investors had taken the back table .

“Good evening gentlemen” . Owen greeted them and shook their hands. “ Let's start the meeting ”.

‘Today is a new day that means new you '.Yes, new me.

‘Your day is going to be great if you let go of your negative energy. There is nothing called bad luck I believe . It's the bad circumstances that make the luck bad . Our beliefs are a very strong thing . When we believe something dearly it starts to become real . If we believe that today is going to be a bad day after one unfortunate incident then our whole day is going to be bad. Now take a deep breath in and breathe out with it ,let all your stress out . Breathe in and breathe out just like that .’ The voice of the female blast through the radio of my company car .

Following her instructions I took a deep breath and released it while closing my eyes slightly, letting myself feel the calmness that washed over me . This is feeling good, so peaceful or at least it stayed peaceful until I jerked forward . My eyes flew open to see smoke coming out from the front of the car and I hit another car. I lifted myself up a little to inspect the damage only to shrink back on the seat when the white faced driver came running out of the car to examine the damage . His head whipped at me with an angry glare and marched at my car.

If we were in a cartoon then smoke would be coming out of his ears and his head would explode from anger.

Lifting my coat , I left my apartment, locking the door behind. I was standing outside the elevator waiting for it to come up. I have an important meeting within fifty minutes. I called my driver thirty minutes ago but he still has not arrived, everything is a disaster.

“ Nothing is going to be good today and this damn elevator.” Ponting my hand at the elevator I said “Why is it taking so much time? Who is coming through it ? a blue whale family!!.”

Just then the elevator door opened and my elderly neighbours stepped out of the elevator . I quickly put my hand down and straightened up with clearing of my throat .The couple was giving me death glares as they moved towards their apartment.

“It is such a beautiful morning. I hope you have a nice walk”. If looks could drill a hole on my face then I would have a puck size hole on my face by now. I quickly stepped in the elevator and pressed the ground floor button.

That couple looks more like a bulldog with a thorn in their paw.

The elevator opened and I stepped only to find my ride had not arrived yet.

“Owen sir , why are you standing out here?” Our building security asked from the window of his booth.

I looked at my watch “ Have you seen my car coming? ”

“ No sir , you came home very late last night and the girl drove you both here”. I hummed at him and was about to dial my driver when my car rolled in.

“WHAT THE HELL?”

Fifteen minutes earlier

I was talking to the driver of the towning truck as they were pulling the car away, trying to convince him to leave the car as hard as I could but they did not listen. They pulled the damaged car away along with my hope of promotion.Five years of hard work went down the drain.

The other car driver was screaming frantically at the police officer who was trying to calm him down but was failing measurably.

“ Oh God ! For heaven's sake I got it but it was a mistake.” I walked up to him .His focus turned to me .

“You” He was on my face in an instant. Should have let the police handle the situation.

He was still screaming in my face that how this is going to cost, how his boss is going to take the money from his salary , and I am going to pay. I was getting impatient and late while his speech was nowhere near done but I lost it when he started insulting me, calling me every name in the book. My brain was burning like a hot furnace. So I took out a roll of three hundred dollar bills and shoved them into his mouth . That made him stop talking. Good.

“I hope this will cover the expenses ”. After that I marched away leaving behind two police officers, a truck driver and the car driver with still bills in his mouth. Nobody followed me .

“Taxi!!”. Turning the corner in the main street I tried to stop a cab but instead of stopping it drove away, splashing the water of the nearby puddle and drenching me from waist to down.

“Anything can get worse than this ” .Just then the rain started pouring down heavily , drenching me completely. I looked up at the sky and sighed

“ I spoke too soon”.
