Chapter two

Helma left Kelvin's apartment devastated and in tears. She walked the lonely street alone in the dark. She thought about her life, her student loan that she hasnt been able to pay up and now Kelvin has sold the house they were paying for, putting her into more debts. Helma broke down and sobbed loudly in the street. She stopped a taxi and asked him to take her to the nearest bar. Sitted in the bar, Helma ordered the strongest cocktails. She had shots upon shots of vodka. "Why would a beautiful lady be drinking too much" a calm voice said beside Helma. She looked towards him, and saw a walking god! Helma drolled. She saw the most handsome man she has ever met. He looked like he walked out of a model magazine. He chuckled and sat opposite her. Helma inhaled his strong perfume. She looked at his perfect jawline, broad shoulders and smiled sheeply at him. She sipped her cocktail looking into his eyes. The man ordered a vodka and smiled back at Helma. In her drunken state, she asked

Chapter three

Weeks passed and Helma could not be more devastated. Her betrayal from Kelvin, her piling debts and her inability to secure a job was a heavyweight on her shoulder. Helma wore a blue top and a black mom jean and headed to the grocery store to get groceries for dinner. On her way, she received a mail from D. B. C tech groups. Helma screamed with excitement "Yes!! ". She quickly sat on a bench by the walkway and read the mail in details. " Dear Applicant, You have been been selected for the job position as a sales representative. You can login by clicking here or go to D.B.C/jobinter.com on your browser to get full details on your selected interview date. Be reminded that your reference letter is attached to this mail sent to you. Best Regards". Helma's face was beaming with joy and gladness.

Chapter four

Beep, beep, beep!! Helma's alarm buzzed. She hurriedly left her bed and said a short prayer. She ignored the uneasiness in her belly and focused on coming back home an employed lady. She freshened up, spent time heat pressing her hair. She woke up early enough to do so. She rolled her hair from regular straight to spiral curls. She wore her outfit, heels and her light make-up to match. She looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't be more proud of her parents for creating such a beauty in nothing less than an Hr. She placed her printed reference letter in her purse, did a 360 for the mirror, took her phone and headed for D. B. C TECH GROUPS. All through her time in the taxi, she kept repeating to herself "Helma, you are intelligent, you will get the job. You are beautiful, bold and blessed". "We are here ma" from the taxi driver brought her back to reality. She paid him with half the money she had left. She inhaled sharply "when I get the job, I will earn more". She stood in

Chapter Five

Helma's face turned pale. She froze. Her stomach giggled. She could not believe her eyes. Was today working against her? She thought. Random thoughts were buzzing in her mind. "Sit down miss" He said sipping coffee walking to take his seat. "You are here for the job interview, I would appreciate if you close your mouth, you are almost drolling" Her said looking at her for the first time. Helma nodded nervously. She couldn't be herself anymore. He acted as though he haven't met her before. Helma trued to compose herself. "Introduce yourself miss" He said writing on a paper. Helma eyes were on her nails " my name is Helma Robertson, I am a graduate of business administration and I applied for the position of a sales rep in your company sir" she said playing with her nails nervously. "Do you have any working experience miss?" He said without looking out of his paper. Helma's confidence failed her. This was her first job and it seemed she would go back home broke and unemployed. "Thi

Chapter six

Helma walked out of the office with doubts. She wondered if she has made the right decision. Working and living with her one night stand. She was glad she was going to be paid , at least she could settle part of her debts. She thought about her rent in the elevator, she wouldn't be renewing since she was moving in with Mr proud. At the reception, Helma gave Jane a bright smile. Jane called to her "congratulations ma'am, you were asked to drop your payment details here". Helma filled the form and handed it over to Jane. Jane looked at Helma with pity "I am sorry ma, but you should be careful. Boss secretaries don't last a month on the pay roll" she said whispering. Helma's turned cold. What has she gotten herself into. Why is Mr proud trying to get rid of her? Was he disappointed or disgusted by her? Offering her a job that nobody has occupied for a month?.Helma smiled weakly "thank you miss Jane, I will be more careful". She picked her purse and walked out. She got a taxi and headed

Helma walked to the bathroom and her mouth went open in awe. She has never seen this kind of bathrooms before only in movies. She picked a towel neatly folded and soaked herself in the bathtub. She stepped out of the shower, applied lotion on her skin, and picked a free outfit to wear. She walked out of her room, and meant Donald at the hallway.She walked behind him like a lamb. Dinner was served. Matched potatoes, chicken and broccoli salad. Helma's mouth watered at the sight of matched potatoes. Mary served dinner. Clara sat far from Donald and Helma. She has a frown on her face throughout dinner. After dinner, Clara went up to her room and slammed the door loudly. Donald watched her childishness and smirked. Mary noticed how disturbed Helma was with Clara's behavior. "Help me clear these plates baby" Mary pleaded with Helma Helma nodded smiling and helped Mary with the dishes. "I enjoyed dinner ma, this is the tastiest meal I have had in a while" Helma complimented smiling. Mary

Donald couldn't take his eyes off .Helma Clara noticed her brother's divided attention. She frowned her face "Hey!! You are drolling over nothing" clara yelled. Donald had an apple and left with Helma for work. Mr peter smiled at Helma as he helped her get into the car. Helma smiled weakly as soon as she entered the car with Donald. She opened her mails and saw the schedules of Mr Donald. She set a 10mins reminder to each schedule. His first meeting was with the resource management team 8am. The twenty minutes drive to the office was occupied with silence. Helma prayed silently for her first day, she kept repeatin

She waited for 5 minutes and went inside his office. Donald sat on his couch and stared at Helma. "I have been waiting outside your office for ages sir, we have closed for the day" Helma said with a frown.Donald chuckled at Helma's protest. He watched her grumble and said a thousand words under her breathe. "Come sir" he commanded making room for her in the coach. Helma sat down without looking at Donald. Donald noticed the perfume she wore. He has been perceiving it all day. "If you keep smelling like this, I wouldn't be able to control myself" he whispered leaning towards her neck. Helma looked at him surprised."Is something wrong with my choice of perfume sir" Helma asked controlling her breathe. She couldn't understand why this young man was always putting her on edge. "Vanilla and

Donald's thoughts were Interrupted by a buzz from his phone. It was from work.Clara laid on her bed in pink pj's and a sleep mask. She got up from bed at the buzz of her phone. She yawned while picking up her phone. "Hello" the voice sounded so familiar. Clara pupped eyes widened at the sound of voice. "Jay? Jay? Is that you?" She stutters. Jay and Clara talked for almost ten minutes. Clara giggled like a love struck teen. She played with her hair and would smile at anything he says. Clara floated in space. She had butterflies.
