Sereia's POV

Anger plagued my body as I held Violet's Polaroid picture in my hand, knuckles white from my intense grip.

My hazel-green eyes dashed to the car mirror in front of me.

I couldn't even recognize myself anymore.

I had gained weight in my face, thighs, butt, and breasts.

My hair was dyed black, the colour of a raven, and my innocent baby look had now changed to a mature look.

I forced a smile to ensure I had perfected the 'sunshine' smile I had been practising for years now.

It still wasn't there but this was good enough.

I grabbed my Channel working bag before jumping out of my BMW.

Using all the energy within me, I managed to swallow all the built-up anger I was carrying around as I walked inside the Harrington Finance Group's famous headquarters.

I discreetly pulled down my skirt as I approached the man, who has been clearly waiting for me.

The skirt was so short that I could feel the air practically slamming against my ass but this is how I planned to dress so I'll deal with it.

I put on my fake smile as I approached his short figure.

"Oh my gosh, don't tell me I've kept you waiting," I shot him an innocent smile.

He quickly looked up at me as he adjusted his glasses. "Not-not at all, ma'am."

I fake laughed while stretching out my hand to him. "Nice to finally meet you in person, Mr. Reed."

He shook my hand. "Same here, Ms. Sinclair."

Mr. Reed was in charge of HR and we had been communicating for the past four months.

"We're so excited to finally have that director position filled," he said as we began walking to the elevator. "It's been vacant for almost a year."

"What? Really?" I pretended to be interested.

He nodded. "Yhup, picky boss."

"Well, I'm so honored," I told him. "Not many people my age ever get such an opportunity."

He smiled proudly as we entered the elevator.

He pressed '60', the highest floor.

There were sixty floors of just office space.

I can't imagine the amount of people who work here.

The Harrington's had surpassed the Campbell's for almost four years now and I hear that the CEO is hungry for more.

"I know, but the higher-ups were very impressed with your resume. None of us have ever seen anything like that."

I continued to smile as I watched the floor numbers change.

"Don't get me wrong for asking this question because I am thrilled that you chose us but why did you?" he asked. "Every company fought to get you, most even offered more money than we did."

"I guess there is just something special about this company," I truthfully said.

There was something special here; her.

The bitch's life I'm about to ruin.

"Wow," he watched me in astonishment.

I smiled brightly as the doors finally opened.

"After you," he bowed with his hands out.

I held in my laugh as I walked out to see a busy office in front of me.
