"Tring!Tring!Tring!Tring!

I tried to look for the snooze button,but I remembered that I had bills to pay and an empire to build.So I had no choice,but to wake up.

It was 04:00 in the morning.
When you're the CEO of a huge,successful retail company your morning's start quite early.Laziness will never get you anything.You need to work.Yeah you have to believe and all,but "Faith without works is dead."

After having a 5 lap jog,a light breakfast and a shower it was 06:00.Then I wore my 'boss lady' clothes.A black Prada pants suit.A black suede Prada handbag.Guess sunglasses and Paco Rabanni black high heels.

I went to the garage and got into my white Range Rover Evoque.My destination was the ☆Onyx☆ headquarters.

I entered the HQ's doors with pride.
"Good morning mam ." said my PA Shona while fixing her glasses
"Good morning Shona,what's on the agenda?" I asked
"Um, you have a meeting with one of our lead designers,Versace and after that you have to attend the retail conference."
"Is that all?"
"Oops it's not.You also need to speak to the marketing department about the promoting of the 'Opal star' and you need to check the interns;just to revive their spirits."
"Thank you that will be all Shakinah.Have a wonderful day."
"My name is Shona mam"
"Sorry I'm quite exhausted.It won't happen again.Bye."I said to Shona
How could I forget her name?

I walked all the way to my office.I had alot of work to do.
Luckily I love my job so I was glad to work all day.

I filed some paper work.I checked human resources.I looked at all the interns.There was one intern that reminded me of my 'earlier days'.His name was Travis.He was working extra hard.Harder than my other employees.

"Hello sir.What is your name?"
"My name is Travis " he replied while typing on his laptop
"Well Travis,you're working extra hard. Harder than my employees." I said watching him attentively
"Well miss,if I don't work hard who will do it for me?" he said while looking at me through the lenses of his blue rimmed glasses.
"Well said Travis.Keep this up and you'll receive something good at the end of the day" I said with a smile on my face.
I gave him a good paying job in the public relations dept(without him knowing.If you work hard somebody will notice you and give you a higher position.Do it from the heart though.

I left him.He had a smile on his face.

I ran all my other errands and I finished late at 22:00.I was quite tired.I had slept a bit before I woke up.It was probably not the best decision I've made.

I got into my car and I decided that it was time to go home.

"Arrive alive miss" said the security guard before I left
"Don't worry Edwin,I'll be safe"

It was a dark night out.Not alot of vehicles were on the road.I was feeling really sleepy...
I drove past the highway at full speed.Then something happened...Something was wrong...I went from sleepy to WIDE AWAKE...

My steering wheel jammed.
"Am I dreaming?" I said to myself
I grabbed my phone and I called Gina.
"Gina something's wrong."
"What are you talking about ?" she asked
"I'm serious Gina!It's my car something ain't right Gina!" I said with tears in my eyes.I realised that my car was heading towards the wrong direction.
Then suddenly my car tipped over...

I felt cold water on my skin.I was deep under water.I was so cold.Then suddenly I felt my eyes slowly closing.They got smaller and smaller.Everything went dimmer and dimmer.
The street lights that seemed like stars suddenly turned dark and seemingly non-existent.I was trapped then I was surrounded by darkness...

"Opal!Hello?Opal!Are you there!?"
"The number you have dialled is not available.Please try again later..."
