I hadn't always been like this.
Boring.
I used to be the life and soul of the party. The wild child, but now, my life consists of me sitting on my couch, eating my weight in chocolate and watching my favourite TV shows on catch up.
Oh what I wonderful life I live...
Haha.. NOT!
I sat on the couch lost in my thoughts, until...
"Ugh.. I really need to find another job. And fast. I can't be a couch potato all my life."
That's right. I'm also currently unemployed. I had to leave my last job because my boss was harassing me so much it started to take its toll on me. I couldn't deal with it any longer, so I made the decision to leave. The best decision I made in my opinion.
It still makes me shudder just thinking about it. The jerk would always touch me when no one was looking, but any time I mentioned it, he'd deny everything.
I heard the door slam which meant only one thing..
Emma's home.
"Argh! I hate my life." Emma shouted as she stomped her way through to the living room.
"Bad day?"
"I almost got fired." She said, chucking her bag on the floor.
"What? Why?"
"Because I almost punched Brody. That's why."
"Jeez, Em. What did he do?"
"He grabbed my behind and told me he'd like to see what a pretty girl like me had to offer."
"Gross!" I said, repulsed by her words.
"And you wonder why I left that place."
"Now I know why. He's vile. I don't know how you put up with it for so long."
"Honestly, me either."
It wasn't only me who he did it to. He did it to some of the other girls too, and some of them left because of it. One even moved to another town because she was so afraid of him.
"Any luck finding any work?"
"Nope. No luck."
"I do know of one going, but you won't like it."
"How do you know? You haven't told me yet."
"Just trust me, Anika, You won't."
"Okay.."
"Its a cleaning job.."
Wait.. That's it?
"That doesn't sound so bad." I shrugged
"For Mr. Banks. He's looking for a housekeeper."
Ah okay.. Now I get it.
Austin Banks. The wealthiest man in Manhattan.
But he's not all he seems. There something about him. A dark, mysterious side.
Before I even really thought about it, the words flew out of my mouth..
"I'll do it."
What is wrong with me?
