A South African 19-year-old NYU college student, raised in LA, gets an internship at a prestigious law firm in New York, Upper East Side. As she works on her career, she battles between her studies, substance abuse, glory, and relationships. What wi...
"You.", Octavia's abuser hollers at me, causing me to inflate my eyebrows. I suppose, it's taking action, I merely made a complaint.Not my fault he's frankly implicated in preliminary{sketchy} matters, my mouth widens, as I attempt to conceal my smirk from forming, and enraging him more than he already is. "What?", Damson replies. "This bitch froze my assets!", he yells, Damson's gaze pivots to mine. "Ms. Jelani is a member of this program and is merely doing her assignment. Now, I suggest you leave now—before I call security. We'll go over the details of your case, tomorrow." The man hovers over me, as a fearsome smirk widens on his lips. "I'll see you very soon, Ms. Jelani.", he departs from the firm, allowing me to let out a deep breath. Oh My God! "Now if that doesn't prove he's an abuser— I don't know what does."
My eyes snapped open, my body covered in a cold sweat, as my legs shook uncontrollably.

I exit to the bathroom, and push my feet into my slippers, arriving at my enclosure, as my fingers glide through my closet, acquiring long flared black pants, a long white blouse, and a black suit. Accessorizing it with black heels, a black tie, and a long gold necklace. Mouse lathers on my boho braids, as I tie them in a half-up, half-down style, complementing it with a large black bow. Today, I desire to make an effort to look more put-together, after that disagreement, I must show them I'm not fazed. My playlist plays on shuffle.

Ready to work. My face lathers in my creams, and sunscreen. Pressing got2b on my eyebrows to keep them in place, and press cream blush into my skin, lightly blending it with my brush. I lather my lashes in a volumizing mascara, then a lengthening mascara. Lastly, I add my dark brown lip combo, with cream lip gloss, to blend the product, and spray setting spray onto my look.
