"Naomi, wake up! Come on, today you have a job interview at Carter Enterprises!" I felt someone gently shaking me and tapping my face.

"Mmmm, five more minutes, just five," I groaned, rolling over on my stomach to block the sunlight from my face.

"Girl, you're pregnant, yes! But nobody said your face can't feel ice water! Now get your ass up and get ready for work!" I heard Nikki say before leaving the room.

I sat up, groaning in annoyance, and stared at the wall for a while before standing up, stretching, and walking into the bathroom.

I looked at myself in the mirror and gasped. I only had an hour and a half to get ready, and I looked a mess.

My hair was tangled into a beehive shape. I sighed, grabbed my toothbrush, added toothpaste, and wet it before brushing my teeth.

After brushing my teeth, I stepped into the shower, poured some of my cherry body wash and shampoo, and rinsed off. I then closed the tap and dried myself with the white fluffy towel on the side.

You see, Veronica and I just moved into an apartment. It wasn't expensive; I paid half with the money I earned at my part-time job at Leila's restaurant, and Nikki paid the other half. It was in a nice neighborhood.

My parents are not rich. My mom is sick in the hospital with failing organs, and my dad is in jail because of me. So, I had to work since high school to pay off debts and hospital bills. High school was worse because I had about three to four jobs, and in college, I stuck to two: the restaurant and tutoring high school students.

I walked back to the mirror and saw my hair looking better. I grabbed the brush and started running it through my hair until it was naturally straight. My hair isn't long; it touches the top part of my back, just below my shoulders, but it's always a hassle to fix.

I grabbed my makeup bag and decided to go natural, applying lip gloss, mascara, and some golden eye shadow.


I walked out to find something to wear and decided on a tight black skirt that reached my knees and a white blouse that shaped my two-month pregnant stomach. To top it off, I put on a black suit jacket that reached my hips.

I spritzed on some cherry perfume and grabbed a cream white handbag that held my essentials, including my phone and my credit card with all my savings from high school.

"Thank God, come on, you have to eat and then Uber before you're late!"Nikki said, gently pushing me into a chair and serving me freshly made pancakes. Nikki and I used to take cooking lessons from my mom, which is why I love her food.

Ever since we found out I was pregnant, Nikki has been treating me like a queen. I still don't know who the father is, or rather, I don't know how to find him since I didn't get his name.

I grabbed the fork and started stuffing the pancakes into my mouth. After that, I drank the milk she had set aside and stood up to wash my plate, thanking Veronica for the food.

"It's okay, I already called an Uber for you, so just go downstairs. Enjoy! I'm also going to look for a job today, so bye! Love you and take care of the baby and yourself," she shouted as I went out the door, not before shouting back, "I will! Love you too!"

Once I arrived at the company, I walked in and was met by the secretary. Fixing myself one last time, I walked up to the front desk confidently and smiled as the secretary spoke, but her expression quickly turned into a frown.

"Hello, miss. Do you have an appointment?" she asked with an attitude, causing me to roll my eyes.

"Yes, I am here for the assistant position that is vacant," I replied politely.

Once she confirmed my appointment, she led me to the boss's office and left after giving me a once-over. I shook my head and knocked on the large door, earning a husky but sexy "Come in."

When I opened the door, I felt myself freeze.

"You?" we said at the same time.
