Scarlett is pretty much the description of 'beauty with brains' and 'everyone has a scared past' together. Now what matters is her present. And this present need MONEY to fund someone's life.
Who? Someone close to her. But will she sign herself off...
"'You glow different when you use the correct skin care' Said no girl ever!"
The busy streets of New York City were bustling with life.
The constant traffic at 9 in the morning and the various yells let out by small vendors trying to earn something were pleasing her and had had always but something about that morning felt off to her.
The usually busy streets, the race among people reach to their destinations faster than the other and the sweet boyfriend walking his girl down to her apartment after a rather rough night was nothing uncanny for the streets of New York City who seemed to have witnessed much more.
The sky was covered in black clouds and waiting to tear up over the people who couldn't care less if it could not buy them a paid leave.
Scarlett was sitting in the taxi that was stuck in the traffic and waiting to reach the office on time.
The nerves hit her, not because she was running late but because of the meeting, she had with Alex.
She couldn't get over the fact that she had just joined the office and was being offered the HOD post without any experience.
She couldn't believe it and wanted to have a proper professional and formal talk with Alex.
She felt as if she did not deserve the job and could use some more experience in the field and then think of a promotion. She was contemplating on whether to tale up the job or not.
The former would give her good money to hire a full-time nurse for Kristy and a very nice reputation and the latter would only have fair opportunities after working for years and future regrets.
She wanted a fair assessment of this and could not make such a big decision alone. Being the extremely indecisive girl that she was she wanted to do everything but make a decision.

"Come in", Alex replied while reading a few contracts.
"Sir, the meeting with the advertisement and marketing team members for the next HOD is scheduled at 11 and then you have a meeting with the investors at 1 and then you have lunch meeting Mr Oberoi for the expansion in Los Angles for the hotel chains startup with your friend Mark who left a note that he would be coming here and also your mom called in asked you to come home early for dinner today while you were in a meeting with the finance team.", his secretary read out from a tab to him and placed a cup of ready-to-go coffee in front of him.
Alexander nodded and asked her, "Anything else?"
"I wanted an early day today. My mother and brother have come after so long and I wanted to spend some time with time. I will come in early tomorrow but can I please go home early today? I will even bring you moms lasagna to make up for it", she rambled on.
"You can go.", he said
"Please I, wait, what did you say? Oh my god! Thank you so much."
Alex nodded and asked her to leave.
He read through the contacts and decided that it was time to withdraw from some of them and make a lot of changes in the official rules and timings and atmosphere.
But he could not make so many drastic changes without consulting the board members and his dad, who still was the passive decision-maker on the board.
He had a lot of ideas that would raise conflict but he wanted to improve the work ethic in his office and was a firm believer of, "Happy employees mean better work"
He was sceptical about these changes and wanted the opinion of somebody else, someone who had to know the staff well and the only name that popped in his head was his mom. When his mom or as he would call her when he wanted something done- Ma came into his life he wasn't very happy about the change but being the angel that she was she warmed her way into his heart.
He took his phone dialled his mother's number waiting for her pick up.
"Hey ma", he said as soon as the phone was answered. "What do you want Xander?", she let out at once.
" You wound me ma! Anyways, can you come to meet me right now? At the office? It's very important.", he said.
"Why? Can't we discuss this at home?"
"Ma come on! Help out your son!", he whined like a baby.
His mother chuckled and he could picture her shaking her head.
" I'll be there.", saying this she hung up the phone.
Alexander then made his way to the meeting with the department.
The meeting would decide the future of his company in a big way and he wanted the head to be someone who was driven and ready to face all the challenges.
