Zara

"Wake up" I heard Damian yell from behind my door. " Coming" I lazily shrugged.

How is this possible? I also wake up than the usual time except today.
I stood up from the bed lazily and moved straight to the bathroom.

I was brushing my teeth when I heard my phone ring. I was so excited to pick it up because I knew it would  definitely  be him.

I brushed my teeth real quick and head back to my room.

" Good morning Ms Zara,"  I heard a manly voice speak and it was definitely Kieran.

" Good morning, sir," I also greeted with a polite tone.
" Today will be the day you will start working as the secretary of SEF company." he added.

Oh my God, I can't believe this is actually happening to me. I silently screamed, jumped around and did my victory dance.

" Oh that's great" I said with a serious voice hiding all my jubilation.

" Yeah, see you at work today" he concluded and hang up as soon as he ended.

This cold bitch. I started to scream when Damian entered my room dumbfounded.

"What's going on?" He rubbed some sleep from his eyes."Guess what?" I asked .

"What?"  "I finally got the job."

" Well, that's great" he said and smiled at me and I did the same.

" Why, were you still sleeping?" I chuckled. " Of course I was and now I'm all up again." He said and rolled his eyes at me.

" But you woke me up, I even thought you were making breakfast" I yelled.

" Relax, I'm not the work who is going today, remember?" He said with  an evil smile and left my room.

Such a jerk. I went back to the bathroom and continued what I was doing.

I finished dressing and said my last good bye to Damian since I won't come and meet him back at home.

He would be at New York  the time I would be back from work. I took my own car this time. It is grey in colour, my favorite.

I sat in the car and sparked it. I started driving as usual and I could not just wait to get there.

The drive was silent until my phone rang. Who could possibly be calling me now? I had connected my phone to the car so I had to just press the ' accept ' button.

"Hello?" I began. " Zara" the person spoke and I could hear some sobs behind it.

I was very shocked. What had happened? The voice sounded like my mom. Why would she call me with a different number?

"Mom?" I asked again. " Zara" she said and kept on crying .

"Mom what has happened?" I asked still shocked at what was going on.

"Zara, y- your father" she continues to sob uncontrollably.

" What has happened to dad?" I already knew what has happened according to how she was acting on the phone but I just wanted to be sure it was what I was thinking.

My father has been suffering from stroke for the past twenty years and life became hell for me and mom. But this is not supposed to be the end.

I was so enlightened to tell mom and dad that I got a new job and look at what has just happened.

"Your father....your father is gone,Zara," she finally stops crying and says this.

I couldn't move anymore when I heard this. Tears started dripping uncontrollably from my eyes.

I couldn't speak move or do anything. I stood there empty all I could see was the car crashing against another one.

I lost consciousness and things started blurring out until my eyes closed.

Aile
(Early that morning)

It is morning already? I rubbed away some sleep from my eyes and finally stood up.

I stretched a little more and set off to run a hundred metres race at the town's park. I reached there in about five minutes because it's not far from my house. I stated to run as usual.

I always do this to release stress from both work and other people.

Speaking of other people, I have to call the applicant that she is hired. I pulled my phone from my pocket and dialed the number on the form she had filled.

" Good morning Ms Zara," I spoke.

" Good morning , sir," she also greeted in a  soft tone.

I deeply sighed before continuing

" Today will be the day you will start working" I addressed to her.
There was silence before she finally spoke calmly "Oh that's great."

Isn't she excited that I've hired her? Maybe she hates work as all people do.

"Yeah, see you at work" I said and hang up quickly because time was running and I'm not even halfway done with my training session.

I ran as fast as I could and  memories of what happened in the elevator stroke my head and all I could do is smile in my head.She acts so innocent, but she isn't.

I finished with the ran and head back home to take my bath and prepare for work.

I did everything real quick, sat in my Lamborghini car and head straight to work.

(At work)

As soon as I entered, the place became noisy and I didn't understand why. Usually they would stop what they are doing and greet me but I was invincible this time round.

" What is happening here?" I spoke with a deep voice and the place became quiet.

"What are you all discussing about that I even seem invincible here?" I calmly said.

People get shivers when I speak calmly than to yell which I see it abnormal.

They all apologized and went back to do what they were supposed to do.

I walked straight to the elevator , pressed the open button and entered.
I don't why but I was pissed at what I saw this morning.

I felt like firing all of them but I remembered what Zara had told me.
I couldn't get less angry at myself for hiring those noisy workers.

I entered my office as I got off the elevator and closed the door behind me.

I stood behind the the transparent window and stared at the town's view like I always do. It is really soothing.

I moved to the coffee machine in my office and made myself a coffee. I sat on my office waiting for Ms Zara to show up.

I waited for sometime and yet no respond from her. I hate late workers.
I tried calling her phone to check up on her but she never picked it up.

At first, I thought it was nothing serious so I moved on to start working.

As I was working , I had a call from an unknown person.

************************************
"Zara?" I asked in a shocked tone. " Give me the address, I'll be there as soon as possible.
