I sat on the chair quietly starring into his eyes trying to recall the rubbish he kept blabbing...the thing that most have been much important to him.
“i don't understand sir..you want me to flaunt with some man who you think I must join hands with just to be in his good book?”

“yes Bella..this is your job and you most get to it” he said in a stern voice

I cleared my throat trying not to unleash what I held within me...I tried my best to stay on the calm side and just stare at my so called boss who is assuming me for an award or some dump trophy “h-how did I even get into you guys discussion..if..if I may I ask” I fake smile with force

“first I'll start of with a little story dear Bella.....There are called the BURROWS..one of the most powerful and richest families world wide, years back  due to some protocol the  will..i mean inheritance of everything the former brooks held was handed to the last of their son AARON BURROW” he stood up and walked to his window with a sigh “with lots of obstacle there and here finally I met up with him but conditions were made from him along our agreement” he stopped

I was quiet eager to hear what's the remaining..I was curious to know who this Aaron was, folding up my dress I breath out and opened my closed eyes
“well as life would have it before you get something you have to give out... he's conditions were mad... he was inviting a few family members over for a month and would need a partner..a reasonable, decent and brilliant lady...a one of good qualities and if I am enable to find one within that class then he was going to rethink about the whole partnering with the company” I could see the lit in his eyes but I was still confused

Why tell me all this?...there were tons of girls with talent and far more prettier than me

“then how does this lead to me...sir?” I asked with a calm voice

“i found out all the ladies at this company are just filled with trash, petty whores and gold diggers except one... I've looked into your profile and more but you have none unlike them, you're decent, brilliant and one of our best Bella Martini” he explained smiling

It been long I heard such name. Martini?

“what do you intend I do sir?”

“whatelse play the role of what I'm assigning you to do... you'll go with him to whichever place he's planning on going and of cause you make him sign that partnership contract even if it means playing dirty” he smirk taking his seat

“b-but sir I don't think I'll be of any good use t-to him or be ab-” I panicked as I keep gulping hard...

“Bella..bella look here don't think I'll benefit from this alone..if he joins us we we'll be fuckin out of anyone's reach and then we leave this to you.. I've figure out more things about you for some days now...how eager you are to collect the post of an executive” I stared at him and bite my lower lips and frown realizing how true he spoke

Throughout my first day I have always wanted that post badly....with that post I could earn alot from it,new office, second in command, higher salary and less working
Seeing were this was going I knew I couldn't run from it it either I get to be an executive easily with ease but play my card well both with that Aaron guy and Mr Williams himself or get stuck with everything lower

Be his trophy and get what I want

or

refuse and remain in that dumb position for ever....deep down I wanted more I didn't want to loose everything because of doing such a simple thing,
Just business and that's all

“what is it going to be Bella?..make him sign the paper and be the new executive or declined and well...get fired” my eyes quickly snap open..I couldn't believe what he just spilt out from his mouth
Was he being serious about it?... I thought starring at my exposed knees in silence, what choice did I really have left..I didn't want to get fire, My life would be hell without this job, bills would be alot harder and surviving would just be an understatement of living

Raising my head up I kept my frown as I gave a slow nod “when do I start” I uttered and quickly a wide smile spread on his lips while he clapped delightfully

“good choice Bella...good choice I won't forget this good help” he laughed

Help?... help? You literally threatened me jerk ass!!

“you'll be staying at his place and of cause I won't allow him touch you it was on of the conditions I made sure of.. so we've agreed you have your own separate room... further instructions will be handed to you by him” I stared at him as he uttered

Staying with someone who I didn't know of? Didn't really look good.. It sounded way too off but still.. I had no choice but take the unrejectable offer

“by all means you most set up yoir things today and by tomorrow you'll be escorted to his mansion... tomorrow will be your day off you can go home now if there's no question” his stern voice came haunting me back...
I stood up and shook my head before turning back and headed to the door...I was silence as I could, words couldn't form out of my mouth, I felt like tears should come falling down because what I really needed was someone to shed my tears unto.
With hard sigh I picked up my bag from my work table and headed straight for the door

While Punching the keys into my door hole I kept complaining to magaret and James over the phone as it was a muticaller tone......it sounded more of a shock to them and ended scolded me in accepting such

“i'll call you guys later..I need rest right now” I spoke tiredly

Margie: “i'll stop by later but don't work yourself too much we still need to figure out this together okay?” I gave a nod knowing she couldn't see it

“thanks for your advice ms margie” I teased her

James: “yeah I think we should stop here for now I was just called to check out on some lost tomb uhm..i think maybe you should just try this out it's business nothing else..okay good bye now

“yeah right..good bye love you both”

Margie/james::“i..I.. love you more” there both responded at the same time

Margie: “hey!!!...listen manwhore we all know who loves her too”

James: “keep dreaming chicken wings”

I formed a smile “it's okay you guys.. I've got to go now” we said our last good byes  hung up... dropping my keys on the coffee table along side my phone and bag I walked up to the kitchen were I removed a bag of cheese balls from the top cabinet, tear apart the opening and put a whole lot into my open mouth

I needed snacks...alot of them, there were the one thing apart from my besties that kept me relived and calm. Digesting it with a stuf belly I drank on the water slowly

Walking up to my bed I sat on it and stared round the room.... rewinding my horrific year, a year I hated the most..a year were I lost my mom,
At third year in college I felt restless...I had less cash, talk of were to sleep, our house was being collected by the owner due to the payment fees which I never had, I worked my ass daily in three different job shifts to earn a little, I felt guilty to how james and margie helped out, I was homeless, less surviving strength...I couldn't let that take place again never in my life..

I have to make this work!!! Or else loose everything!!!
