I welcome comments questions and anything that you think may help my writing. Please remember there is no need to be rude because that will never end good.

Anyway enough of my rambling... On with the story!

Another boring day that's taking forever to pass. The pile of paperwork on my desk is getting bigger and bigger with every hour that goes by, but truth be told I would rather stare out my window of the office on the 7th floor and watch the madness of city centre London pass me by.

Don't get me wrong I'm grateful of the job that dad helped me to get because he was busy sleeping with the boss here, some stuck up bitch called Melanie, me finding out was one thing but threats to tell mum was something else, I liked having the power over the pair of them until I eventually got him to stop seeing her by then I had a nice easy job that would pay for my own apartment and I made him fess up to mum anyway so she could kick his cheating ass out, not thinking that then 'the homewrecker' (Melanie) would become even more of a bitch than she already was. Her I can deal with but that fact she's changed my role so I have to deal with all the shit filing and responses rather than actually dealing with the clients pisses me off. This her side line project under the watchful eye of 'daddy' who basically funds everything she does, he owns the big company making the big money, his company manage some really big clients and this one well, we look after the smaller ones and get them all promo jobs.

Since doing all the shit the bitch now gives me I come across the odd 'big' file that she's looking after for daddy, and I get to see what is upcoming for them.

I take my time with the last few things I have to do before turning off my computer and wasting the last 10 minutes on the clock before I can leave this dump, I put my things into my bag and wrap my scarf around my neck before putting on my coat, I only live a few minutes away so it seems silly to drive when I can walk, in fact it would probably take longer to drive than it does to walk.

I make my way down to reception saying bye to the odd few people who are still around, I drop a file on the reception desk and wait for Lily to get off the phone. the presence of the man next to me pisses me off a little there's so much space in here yet he chooses to stand right next to me invading my personal space. What's his deal?

"Lily, I'm off leave this for Melanie please, call me later okay." I can't help whine as I say her name, everything about that woman pisses me off.

"Okay, I will do." She smiles from behind the desk and gives me a little wave, Lily is the friendship that nobody myself included saw coming, she loves her job here and works between both offices and is on the verge of the promotion she dreams of she's really got it all planned out, where as me on the other hand I couldn't give a shit, this job was purely my way out of home and to get back at my dad and the bitch.

"Good evening Mr Beaumont, what can I do for you this evening?" I stop In my tracks and turn back around, Beaumont as in Melanie's dad, as in he owns the whole lot. He's watching me and smiles making me feel awkward. How did I not notice it was him... Not that I've met him before but I've seen pictures around the building and in magazines. He actually looks like a nice man in his early 50s nothing like his bitch of a daughter.

Oh well I couldn't give a shit what he thinks, as long as I keep my job to pay the rent.

The walk home is dark and cold, I actually hate winter time and the miserable weather it brings with it, give me a beach and some sun any day!

I climb the stairs to my apartment (I see this as my fitness regime as I live on the second floor) I can't wait to get home.

I open the door to a dark all hallway with familiar sent of home, I kick off my shoes and hang up my coat before making my way into the kitchen, the normal routine of putting on dinner for one before changing into my pyjama trousers and hoodie. Living alone has its perks like freedom and no one telling you what to do and when to do it, but it can also be lonely even tough I like my routine of dinner, rubbish TV and reading it can get a little boring. I love my apartment with its small balcony that looks out over the city, the amazing view was the main reason I took it.
The buzzing of my phone snaps me out of yet another daydream.

'Lily' flashes on the screen "hey girl." I say answering my phone.

"Hey, well well I have something to tell you.." She says, I can tell she's excited just by her tone.

"Come on then, don't keep me waiting.."

"Okay, you ready for this... When you left the office tonight Mr Beaumont was at the desk right?"

"Yeah that's right," I mumble down the line with a mouth full of pasta.

"Frankie... He asked who you were, and said a girl like you had potential." I almost spit my food out my mouth "oh my god, what an old perv!"

"NO, not like that he liked your attitude and the fact that you weren't intimidated by him, he said he wants to talk to you tomorrow, you know what this means right?"

"Nope but I've got a feeling you're going to tell me." I'm still convinced he's a perv, who says shit like that.

"I think he's going to ask you to transfer offices and for you to work with him at modest." Her excitement is so real I can feel it even though she's not here. To me it's just a job, but working working for the real office could be amazing!

"Fuck, you really think that?" I ask

" yes I do, so make sure you get your beauty sleep and wear something professional tomorrow okay."

"Okay I will."

"Good now get off the phone and get your outfit sorted, I'll see you tomorrow." With that the line goes dead.

It takes me a few minutes to process what she just said, 'I have potential' and 'he wants to talk to me' okay Frankie time to get serious this could be my way out of the fucking shitty job away from the bitch and get me earning the big money.
