I quickly turn off turn the alarm. I get up and get my gym clothes on. I go out of the apartment and jog around the city for an hour. I like London, it's very classic and the British accent just flies everywhere with the smell of hot tea. I go back to the apartment and have my bath then I take my breakfast before taking my clothes and putting on my make up.

Today, I'm wear the usual black blazer with a white blouse and a pencil skirt that ends right above my knee. I wrap my box braids up in a bun and put on my make up. I look at the time and it's five minutes to eight. I put off everything and take my bag and lock the apartment once I'm outside the room. I walk down the stairs and by the time I'm out of the building, James already there.

"Good morning Abby. " James shouts happily as he opens the door for me. "You look very splendid today. " He says and I smile as I enter the car.

"Good morning to you too James. " I say.

He drives me in silence for about forty five minutes and then stops in front of a tall building.

"We're here Abby, Pierre companies headquarters. " He says.

I say a thank you to him and wish him a fruitful day and he does the same. I get down from the car and I see a tall gentleman with dark hair holding a board with my name on it. I smile and walk towards him.

"Ms Abigail Lois-Rose Williams? " He enquires and I nod with a smile.

He smiles back, "It's so nice to meet you Ms Williams. " He says as we shake hands.

"The pleasure is all mine and it's not Ms Williams, it's Abigail or Abby, I prefer Abby. " I end smiling and he looks at me shocked.

"You're so nice. " He says smiling.

"Oh thank you. " I say.

"Well I'm Peter Rosewood but you can call me Peter. I'm going to be assisting you today and any other day you may need me. " He says and I nod. "Come let me take you to see the boss then to your office. "

I follow him and as we walk together I notice that people stop and stare at me, some smile in a friendly manner and some look almost sore.

"Some of us have been excited about your arrival. " Peter says.

"Really? " I ask almost shocked.

"Yeah because of your dad, he's such a good man and his life story is really an inspiration to others." He says and I can't help but smile and feel really proud of my dad.

"Thank you. " I tell Peter then I ask.

"How is Julian Pierre like? " I ask.

Peter looks at me almost sore and says, "I hope you don't tell on me what I'm about to say but I have to say it so that you know of the kind of person you'll be working with or for or whatever. " He says confused and I nod.

"Julian Pierre is not the nicest person in the world. " He says.

"Really? "I ask shocked.

"No, he's very mean and rude to us just because he has money. He fired his old personal assistant just because she didn't deliver his paperwork on time, and that was like three months ago and our poor friend Lionel has been working as his P. A well until now, he's been released to his old position since today. You don't know how happy he is. " He ends chuckling.

"Really? " I ask again in shock because it sounds so different from the person that called me yesterday.

"But I think you'll have it easier, I mean, your dad's a billionaire you guys belong to the same circle, he cant treat you badly now, can he? " Peter asks me.

I frown, "I guess not. "

"But anyways let's not talk about the boss but your dad. So how is he? " Peter asks me.

I smile, "I guess he's doing alright, I haven't spoken to him since I left the US. "

"You know, my wife and I adopted a baby girl from one of his orphanages in Nigeria. " He says smiling.

"Really? " I ask excited and he nods.

"That's really cool. " I say as we stop in front of an office.

"Yeah, we really wanted to do that and she's been such a blessing her name is Ruth. " He says.

"Aww, I'll love to meet her one day. " I say smiling.

"Don't worry, you can come have dinner with my family anytime. " He ends and I laugh.

He straightens himself and tells me that we're in front of Julian's office. I clear my throat and Peter knocks. A voice tells him to come in and he walks in before me, but I stand behind him.

"She's here sir. " Peter says serious.

"Really? " A stern voice asks, it sounds different from the voice I spoke to know the phone. This one's a little bit deeper. "Where is she I can't see her. " He says.

Peter turns around confused and motions for me to stand in front of him. I take a deep breathe and step from behind Peter's shadow. I look up and I'm stunned by a very blond, masculine guy with blue eyes staring at me a little surprised. I walk towards his desk.

"Hi, I'm Abigail Lois-Rose Williams, nice to meet you. " I say extending my arm in front.
