Being single doesnt mean you're weak it means you're strong enough to wait for what you deserve.-Niall Horan
"Mommy! mommy! Mommy!" Sang my one year old daughter Ariel as she mounted me.
"Its Twime fwa me tew go tew gwamma" she said. I sighed pulling her towards me and kissing her forehead.
"Morning honey, lets go get you ready" I said removing the covers and sliding out of bed.
I brought Ariel to the kitchen and placed her in her chair, while I took care of breakfast in my small vintage kitchen. Afterwards, I fed Ariel, gave her a bath, then we were on our way to my mother's house.
Some time later, we drove into my mother's driveway and Ariel ran out to greet her grandmother. I exited the car, took Ariel's bag and brought her belongings inside with my mother and daughter behind.
"Mom I got to go get ready for work. I'll be back at five to pick up my angel" I told her then I turned to my beautiful daughter who was dressed in a pink mini skirt, ballet shoes and a white t-shirt.
"Mommy loves you honey, I'll be back soon, be a good girl" I kissed her forehead and left for my house.
After parking my red Maserati, I entered the house, took a short refreshing bath, dried my hair, applied limited makeup (consisting of eyeliner and mascara). I then clothed myself in a yellow and black pant suit. I took up my handbag and hurried out the door to my Maserati; and begun my journey to Grey and Brown's Incorporation where I serve as an accountant.
Upon entering the building and going straight to my office, I was informed that there will be a meeting in five minutes which was compulsory. I deposited my handbag on my table and exited my office, where I walked briskly to the conference room.

"Good morning everyone, I know you are all wondering what you are doing here," said Mr Pierre, my boss, "well today I am here to tell you that I am no longer your employer as I have sold out this company" The room erupted in noise and shouts.
"Say hello to your new boss, Mr. Grant Mcbean" shouted Mr. Pierre.
Just then I saw a familiar man mount the stage, a man which has occupied my dreams and thoughts for two whole years of pain and confusion. Two whole years I wish not to relive, a man which had caused me to leave London and return to Atlanta. A man I thought I'd never see again.
"This can not be happening," I voiced out loud, as I slowly stepped into the shadows as not to be seen.
After the meeting, I hurried to my office where I got lost in my thoughts.
Maybe I was hallucinating, or it's the frustration, it wasn't him. I've tried so hard to hide Ariel's existence from him and now this is all happening. 'No! No! No! It wasn't Grant Mcbean, multi-billionaire, famous for owning multiple lines of hotels, among many other business around the world.
'It's not him Em. You're just really tired and having a bad day' is what I kept telling myself as I walked into the bathroom to wash my face.
"All employees will be assessed as you are now under new management and your capabilities are unfamiliar to Mr. McBean," shouted a voice through the speakers.
"Ugggh! Could this day get any worse" I sighed as I splashed water on my face. Later I returned to my seat where I started my work for today, when my secretary Lily walked in informing me that I was needed in Mr. Mcbean's office immediately.
"I guess it could" I muttered
"What was that Ms. Perez? questioned Lily.
"Nothing......nevermind" I said as I caught my long, red hair in a tight ponytail before wrapping it in a tight knot at the top of my head. I slowly walked to the elevator and pushed the button for the top floor.
I guess fate is trying to teach me a lesson; and who am I to try and avoid fate.
