"What are you doing here?" We uttered in one full spoon as he approached me.
"I'm the new employee. And you are ..." I pointed at him shocked as well "The director yes" He answered. Suddenly he gets steamed up.
" What do you want ?" he uttered with...

I dialed my father's number. He answered after a while " Elizabeth ! where were you? Your mother and I were worried about you" he uttered from the other line. "Dad I'm sorry I knew I had to call you but you know I was so busy these days. You know work's stuff but I missed you two soo much " I can hear my mother screaming to get the phone from my father. I smiled at her angry voice. "Elisabeth! Seems like your mother isn't going to let me talk to you " He let out a laugh " here, talk to her" He said. "Oh, honey! How are you doing I miss you so much. How's work and everything? Are you comfortable there? I'm afraid that you don't get much rest "she said. "Mom, relax! I'm all right everything is good here, Do not worry okay? I miss you too. What about you? how's everything? And did Liam come back home? " I situate myself on the couch playing with my hair. "Yeah don't worry everything is good except your absence. I still can't believe that you are a grown independent woman with a great job. It's really a dream come true. I'm so proud of you Elisabeth". My mother's words really affect me. I felt tears dripping down my cheeks when she said those precious 4 words "I'm proud of you ". " Liam visited us last week," She snapped "He said he is doing good at university. Even though I'm not so sure. You know your lazy brother "I chuckled. My brother is 4 years younger than me. He is studying engineering at Boston University. He has always been a lazy person. I even don't know how he graduated. Liam and I don't have anything similar, he looks more like Sarah, my oldest sister. He got blue eyes with clear brown hair. He is taller than me even when I'm wearing 5 inches heels. We were always fighting when we were young But he never hid anything from me. Now he's old and our Relationship changed. I barely see him, each one is busy with his life. I really do miss him. " Mom! I called to tell you that I'm moving to London. Well, I'll work there, in the Wilbert company. They were searching for an employee that got my standards and my director suggested me. " "I'm so happy for you darling ... Really ! "she stopped for a while. I heard the sound of crying from the other line. "Mom, Are you okay ?" I asked furiously. I breathed back when she replied " Yes dear! It's just that we are so proud of you. But aren't you going to visit us before you leave for the UK? " I looked at the clock and it hits 8 o'clock. I bit my lower lip then answered. "I can't mom I'm sorry, really sorry! My plane is leaving at 10:30 "I said with a sad voice. "What? you are leaving tonight! Why didn't you tell us before?" I felt so ashamed not finding the right words to say. "It happened so quick, Actually I knew about it today from my director. " I said walking around the room. "Is he insane? You haven't seen us in a year Elizabeth, and now you are leaving for the Uk, and clearly, you wouldn't say a thing if we didn't call. Don't we deserve a quick visit from you ?" "Yeah I know, But work is my life now. I still have more dreams to attend and you know that pretty well. I'll visit you soon I promise okay?" She kept silent for a while. I know she isn't satisfied with my situation. She doesn't say a thing just to not bother me and push it. "Okay I understand! Don't forget to keep your promise we will be waiting for you. Your father is sending his bids. take care honey and have a good trip. love you! " she said with a low voice. "I love you too" I answered. It's like I was punched in the face. My heart gets heavier and I felt a huge sadness inside. And for the second time, I found myself struggling between my family and dreams. And like every time I choose the second one. When I realize my objective I'll have so much time to spend with my family and take care of my personnel life. But now I need to focus on my work. I didn't feel the plane trip since I fell asleep as soon as I get in. especially that I got the VIP class. My boss took quiet care of everything. The cold air of London makes me shiver. I hurry to the Mercedes waiting for me. A man in a black suit opened the door for me to get inside. Luckily the car was warm. On the way, my phone rang. I checked it to find my boss's id. I answered immediately "How was your trip, Miss Hudson?"He said with a happy tone."Pretty good, thank you, Sir» I answered with the same excitement. "Glad to Know" I smiled at my phone as he kept silent for a while" returning to our business. You go now and have some rest. As I told you you'll stay at the hotel there. The Ceo of Wilbert owns it. They will offer you anything you need. Remember the work will start tomorrow at 6. You will not have to drive on your own. The driver who took you from the airport will be your personnel driver. He is there to take you anywhere and anytime. So don't let me regret suggesting you for this job. Work harder and smarter than ever and you'll get what you wanted and dreamed of." He then hung up without waiting for an answer from me. Well, I appreciate this gesture. Now I realize the weight I carry on my shoulders. The car stopped and the driver walk out to open the door for me. I thanked him including a small smile and I found my way into the hotel. It's big, luxurious and charming. The walls' colors, the decoration. Everything they were more than perfect. I gave the receptionist my name then I followed her to my room. I already have a great influence on this job. "Miss Hudson everything you need is offered. And in case of anything just call us, we will be here anytime" She said with a big smile. I nodded gently, then she left. I took a quick shower and prepare my stuff before going to sleep.
