Love At First Sight

AVY

I hesitantly gathered enough courage and began a conversation with my parents about my pregnancy.

"Mom, Dad, I have something important to tell you," my voice trembling.

My father, a stern and conservative man, listened intently, his face portraying no emotion. My mother, on the other hand, wore a look of concern as I opened my mouth to spit out my dirty confession.

"I'm pregnant," I finally admitted, my voice barely audible. "And... I don't know who the father is,” I added, tilting my head to my father’s face to catch a glimpse of his expression because he still hadn’t said a word about it.

My father's face fell, his disappointment was very evident. He struggled to find the right words, his mind racing with thoughts of what this meant for our family's reputation. 

Meanwhile, my mother's eyes filled up with empathy, she was surely feeling sorry for my predicament.

"I can't stay here," I declared, my voice filled with determination. "I need to leave this town and start anew in a different city."

With a heavy heart, I packed my bags, leaving behind the life I once knew and the judgmental eyes of my community. 

Upon arriving in the new city, I faced numerous challenges as I struggled to make ends meet. I took on various jobs, from working as a waitress to a retail assistant, all while trying to balance my pregnancy and my dreams of a better life.

Through my determination and resilience, I met with a diverse group of people who would eventually help navigate the world of business. One of these individuals is a seasoned entrepreneur named Victor.

"Avy, I see potential in you," Victor said to me, his voice filled with conviction. "I'd like to offer you guidance in starting your own business."

He introduced me to a network of successful business people, who shared their experiences and insights with me, allowing me to grow and learn from their collective wisdom.

Another person who I eventually met is an innovative marketing expert named Isabella. "Avy, branding and marketing strategies are crucial in today's competitive business world," Isabella explains. "Together, we can develop a plan that sets your business apart from the competition."

As my business began to flourish, I crossed paths with a financial advisor named Marcus.

 "Managing your company's finances is key to ensuring your success remains sustainable and profitable," Marcus advised me as we worked together to build a solid financial foundation for my business.

Through my encounters with these diverse individuals, I started living with consistency and hard work finally paid off. I soon became one of the most successful ladies in the business world, my journey marked by resilience, determination, and the support of the people I had met along the way.

In time, I opened a story shop, which served as an inspiration to others, particularly young women, who faced similar challenges and obstacles in their own lives. 

My success is a testament to the power of perseverance, the importance of seeking help from others, and the transformative potential of starting anew. All my success was all thanks to Sir Marcus.

I got an emergency call from Mr Marcus. There was a sense of urgency in his voice, asking me to come over to the head office as soon as possible. Knowing the importance of his request, I quickly gathered my belongings and rushed to the head office, my heart pounding with anticipation.

“Good day, is there a problem? I hope I wasn’t late?” I asked, upon arriving.

I discovered that there was a high-stakes meeting scheduled to take place in Singapore in just two hours. 

“What about Ryan? Isn’t he supposed to be handling all of these important meetings on our behalf?” I asked in curiosity.

“Well, you are right. Ryan, who was initially supposed to represent us, had unfortunately become unavailable at the last minute,” I got a last minute call from him. 

“You are the only one capable of handling this job for me,” Sir Marcus complimented.

He truly believed that I was the best candidate to step in and represent the company, and he wanted me to fly over to Singapore on the company's private jet.

Feeling both honored and indebted to him for his faith in me and for helping me achieve success in the business world, I eagerly accepted the responsibility.

Upon arriving in Singapore, we were greeted by a diverse group of professionals from various industries, all eager to share their insights and expertise.

 Over the course of the meeting, I had the opportunity to make valuable connections with several influential individuals, such as a renowned marketing strategist, a successful venture capitalist, and a brilliant product designer.

Each person I met shared their unique perspective and offered guidance on how to navigate the complexities of the business world. Through these interactions, I gained a deeper understanding of the importance of collaboration, adaptability, and resilience in achieving success.

The meeting proved to be an enlightening and transformative experience. I had provided more to the enlightenment, which I was sure that feedback would be returned to the head office, making me filled with renewed confidence and determination. I knew that, with the support of Sir Marcus and the invaluable connections I had made, I was well on my way to making a significant impact in the business world. I hurriedly packed my stuff, ready to head back to my own works which were lying scattered on my desk, waiting for my return.

As I left the bustling boardroom, I accidentally bumped into a sharply-dressed man, causing his contact card to fall to the ground. Apologetic and embarrassed, I quickly bent down to help him retrieve the card.

“Bryce Creed,” I read out the name on his card, suddenly feeling a strong string of familiarity.

Where do I know him from?

I stood up to hand his card over to him but I suddenly got lost in his handsome features.

He had these unique facial features that could be classified as a human god.
