The day Lillian decides to go job hunting, an offer was brought right to her door. Something risky, but she was willing to go for it. She needed the money already and will do anything for it.

Chapter 2.

Lillian began to walk a bit further, and she sighted a shop across the road. Suddenly, she tried to cross to the other lane, and the next thing she heard was the loud horn coming from a car. She flinched and fell to the ground while her trolley rolled to the other side. Her heart kept racing and for a minute, she thought she was dead, not until she heard a voice that seemed far, and then it came close to her ears. She slowly opened her eyes with her hand on her chest and she roamed them around only to notice someone standing close to her. “Miss! Are you okay?” The masculine voice questioned, and she stood up and moved over to her trolley to pick it up. She dusted herself and turned to a man dressed in a blue suit, he was tall, and had brown hair with green eyes. For a second, she was lost staring at him, but she quickly jerked back to her senses. “I'm sorry, I was too fast. Are you hurt?” He questioned. “You almost killed me. You should drive gently, especially when this is a ro

Chapter 3.

The sound of cars driving into the compound made everyone run to their respective posts. Carson stepped out from his car, which was opened by his driver.His black suit shining radiantly under the sun and his expensive shoe screaming wealth, same as his wristwatch. He ran a finger into his silken brown hair before glancing around the place.His secretary stepped out of the building and rushed to him. “Mr Carson,” he called excitedly while walking with a brown file in his hand.“Bernard! It seems you have grown a bit old.” Carson teased while heading towards the building.“Welcome back, boss. I heard you have been in town for a week now. How are you enjoying the city?” Bernard asked as he walked alongside Carson, whose concentration was on his phone as he walked majestically towards his office.“Australia is nicer than I thought.” Carson replied plainly, before looking at Bernard.They moved together into his office and Carson paused a bit like he was trying to examine the room.

Chapter 4.

Lillian had woken up before the dawn of the day and due to the way she had slept without eating last night, her stomach kept rumbling throughout.She had to wake up as early as 5am and get something to eat before she passed out. Then she quickly got out of bed and tiptoed to the kitchen, not to wake anyone up.Nora came back from the club very early in the morning, and she was trying to get some sleep in the other room, which was smaller and to the comfort of only one person.Lillian peeped around like a thief and moved to the fridge. She opened it swiftly while flicking her eyes to the items inside.She rested her hand on a can of milk and then sighted some cupcakes inside. Her mouth felt watery with the sight of it, but something was telling her not to take a bite.Her stomach rumbled again, reminding her of how hungry she was. And before she could stop her hand from moving into the fridge, she found herself taking out the cupcakes.She took a bite and noticed how sweet it was, and

Chapter 5.

Lillian got out of bed with a glum face. She felt pained that Nora had the guts to look down on her just because she was staying with them.She wouldn't be there if her parents were not selfish enough to think of accepting Mr Andrew's marriage proposal.Lillian moved into the bathroom to take a quick bath. She closed her eyes and relaxed herself while the warm water poured on her.Then she heard footsteps in the room, and she opened her eyes. “Lillian, are you in there?” Mila questioned.“Yes, I will be out in a minute.” Lillian replied and hurried. She stepped out when she was done and met Mila seated on the bed while scrolling through her phone.“Hey, are you okay?” Mila inquired in a calm tone.“I'm not fine. I feel like a loser,” Lillian whispered in annoyance and moved over to the drawer to get her body lotion.“I know you're mad, but you should know Nora better. She doesn't think of what pops out of her mouth.” Mila pressed further while staring keenly at Lillian.“If I had know

Chapter 6.

The burning gaze of the sun on her skin was making her sweat profusely. It was a rough day for Lillian after she had spent half of the day inside the building, and now her shoes were making her feet hurt badly. She took a deep breath after walking out of the software company. Lillian, utter some curse words under her breath before crossing over to the other lane to get a cab home. She prayed silently that she would be called next week and given a job. She hoped to move out and get an apartment of her own. The moment she stopped a cab, she called out the address to him, and he ushered her to hop in. “A person of such beauty isn't supposed to stay under the sun.” The driver spoke, and Lillian resisted the urge to scoff. “But the world doesn't care,” she uttered and laid her head on the back seat. He kept talking about random stuff, and it took all of her not to ask the driver to shut up and just focus on the road. She wasn't in a good mood to talk, and he still couldn't sense it? E

All eyes fixed intensely on Lillian as they waited anxiously for her response. The room was filled with total tranquility, and Lily licked her bottom lip and sighed. “Mila,” she called and averted her eyes to her. “He was the man who almost ran over me with his car the day I left home while heading to your place.” She responded, and Tessa sighed in relief. “I thought you had once fallen victim because of his charms. Thank heavens, it is something different.” Tessa said sincerely and shoved her phone into her bag. “Don't you think he might find it suspicious if I approach him first? Like I was totally rude to him that day, in a nutshell; we were all pissed.” Lillian uttered, and Tessa itched her nape while thinking. “I will add whatever money you want. Please, Lily, just try it out. I promise to increase the pay to one hundred thousand dollars.” Tessa spoke and Mila gasped with wide eyes. “I promise not to disappoint you, Tessa. But… I hope you won't go broke.” Lily said in concer

Chapter 8.

Lillian smiled sheepishly while he gave a compliment on her looks. “So, tell me, do you live around here?” He asked calmly while sitting on the next stool.Lily became stiff for a second, she was contemplating on what answer to give. “Yeah, I live around.” She replied and took a sip of her drink while praying silently for him not to ask her any other personal questions.Lillian glanced around with her eyes and sighted most of the ladies staring towards the bar, and some were giving her a hard glare. “It seems like you're quite popular, everyone is staring at you,” she uttered and looked at him.Carson turned his head and sighted the ladies, one of them waved at him while smiling sheepishly, and he scoffed.“That's how they are, they stare at me all night whenever I come here to chill out.” He spoke, with a bit of pride echoing in his voice.“I guess they can't help it. You're worth staring at.” Lillian said, and regret spilling those words out, but he heard her already.“You think so?

Carson had woken up the next day, his thoughts wrapped around Lily, he couldn't get the image of her off his mind.He walked out of his room and descended the stairs while scrolling through his phone. “Good morning sir,” Rosa said while bowing slightly, she was the only maid working in the house. She comes in the morning, cleans the house, and makes breakfast before leaving.He ignored her and walked straight to the sitting room. Suddenly, he placed a call across to Bernard, his secretary.“I won't be coming to work today. Clear all appointments.” Carson ordered, and before Bernard could say a word, he ended the call.After some seconds, his phone began to ring, and he averted his eyes to it immediately. What was he expecting? For Ella to call him when she doesn't have his number? But then, it was his best friend calling.“Hey man! I will explain why I had to disappoint you yesterday. Are you at home or at work?” Owen inquired from the other end.“I'm at home, I have a gist for you.”

The heavy knock on the door made Lillian jerked back to reality. She moved swiftly to check who it was and noticed Nora standing with her luggage.Lily moved away from the door without saying a word, and Nora stepped in. Mila heard the knock too and stepped out of the kitchen.“Hey! You didn't tell me you were coming back today.” Mila said with beady eyes and scanned Nora, who looked exhausted from her trip.“I'm sorry about that. Do we have anything edible in the house? I'm so hungry.” Nora inquired and laid her back on the couch.“All thanks to Lily, she bought a few things in the kitchen.” Mila added with a smile, but Nora's countenance changed.“Don't worry, Nora, I wouldn't mock you for eating what I bought with my money.” Lily started with a smirk and moved to the bedroom, while Nora scoffed.Lillian kept pacing back and forth in the room. While biting her bottom lip nervously. She has been trying to think of the best way to make Carson fall in love with her.Tessa had done her
