The Counselor » gxg [UNEDITED]

Alexa's POV

I reached out for my alarm clock as soon as it began ringing, and I succeeded to stop it from ringing further. I rolled over, facing the ceiling, and stared at it for a couple of minutes as I was trying to get myself together. As soon as I was able to do so, I sat up then stretched my arms out. Afterwards, I reached for my phone then took a look at the time. It is 4:30 in the morning, well; if you are wondering why I woke up this early... it is because I am currently hired to provide sessions for an engaged couple to prepare them for their upcoming marriage.

I got up then proceeded to brush my teeth and to take a bath afterwards. As soon as I finished doing so, I went out of the bathroom while wearing a bathrobe as I went in front of my closet and skimmed through my clothes. I need to look truly presentable as these people whom I will be meeting are no joke. From what I know, both the man and woman came from an influential family. 

I was torn between looking more formal and more feminine at the same time compared my usual fit, and to stay as it is. I exchanged glances over the two outfits for a couple of times as I was trying to discern what to wear. I then ended up going for a formal look, and that is to establish a good impression as we meet for the first time. I put down the other choice that I had in mind, then took the clothes that I have chosen. 

(A/N: You may refer to the photo attached below to be able to visualize how Alexa would look like, just exclude the sunglasses. I do not own this photo neither, credits to the rightful owner)

I dried my hair first with the blower before I proceed to dressing up. I also applied a light make-up, I made sure that it is nearly natural so that I will not be intimidating with such a strong make-up on. 

After I was satisfied with the way I look, I grabbed my stuffs with me along with my car key, then went out of my unit. I secured it before walking all the way to elevator. I do live alone. If you are wondering where my parents are, they both have different families by now, and I haven't been in contact with both of them neither. They were both busy with raising their kids with their respective partners now. This is why I pursued becoming a marriage counselor for I want to prevent other children to go through the same experience that I have been through by trying to work things out between couples. 

Soon, the elevator doors swung open and I stepped into it. I pressed the button indicating B2 (which stands for: Basement 2) for that is where I parked my car in. The elevator doors closed soon after, and I was just trying to recap what I have prepared for today by skimming through my notes until I reached my designated floor level.

I sought for my car, then as soon as I found it. I unlocked the door, then secured my stuffs in the shotgun seat (the seat next to the driver's) before moving over to the driver's seat. I set up the device that I will use to navigate to get into the destination, then started the engine not-so-long after.
