The sunlight hit my face as I got out of bed. ugh, I thought as I had to get up. As I got ready I thought about how I got myself into this. I thought why does my life have to be like this. So deep in my thoughts, I looked in the mirror to only see you behind me...The love of my life, so I thought. Love is so blinding. when I love I love hard. I love you so much but you hurt me. So confused about why I stay. so deep in thoughts.

Good morning you say as you look at me. Snapping out of it I smile and look at you. I say good morning pretending to be happy. You smile at me, such a sweet smile. If only they knew what was behind your smile. I glare in your eyes while you hold me. Ugh, moments like this make me fall in love all over again but deep down I know you're not good for me. You kiss me as you get ready then you leave. I say goodbye as I get ready for work.

I get to work walking in trying to be happy today. Today is the day, the big day I thought. As I'm walking to the elevator I think of the new ideas I'm about to pitch for the company. When I get to my office I rehearse what I'm going to say again. Sitting here I think how I wish I could have my big break already I hate how I went to college only to work for someone else. Its been a dream of mine to have my own business. As I get deeper into thoughts my boss comes in interrupting me.

¨Hey I need you in the conference room we have someone new and since you the top worker here I think you should show him the ropes.¨

¨Okay¨ I say following him to the conference room.

As we're walking I ask him ¨hey I
have a new pitch how about we call the johnsons and up the stock and drop the stewards it would be genius because of the whole scandal they have been in. If we drop them now the media wont try to attach us to there scandal. And the company will be cleared. And we still will make money with upping the stock.¨

¨Amazing great job Jannelle I would have never thought of that¨ My boss says.

¨thank you¨ I say as we reach the conference room.

As I walk in I see this tall well-built guy with dark brown hair sitting against the conference table. Handsom I thought.

¨This is Jones... Brenton Jones, he's from Arkansas.¨ My boss says as I shake his hand.

¨Hello, I'm Jannelle Walker welcome to the company.¨ I say smiling at him.

Looking at me he says in a deep voice "hello" he says with a melting smile.

¨Alright, so I'll leave you guys to it.¨ My boss says.

Alright, I say as he leaves turning around I look at Brenton.

¨what?¨ he says looking confused.

¨Nothing... so tell me about yourself Brenton.¨ I say looking at him leaning on a conference chair.

¨Tell me about you .¨ he says in a deep demanding voice while looking at me.

Taking me back in a way I say in a quirky way ¨I asked you first.¨ giving him a childish face.

¨well I'm 26 years old I was born and raised in Arkansas. I went to duke majoring in law but later switched to business. I worked with Scotts for about 3 years then one day I got tired of it and wanted to get away so I moved to LA and the rest is history. Now tell me about yourself.¨ he says while he sits down.

¨Well, I was born and raised here. I am 25 I went to Harvard I too majoring in law then I switched to business. I've been working here ever since I graduated. I Graduated top of my class.¨ I say.

"So let's get to business our goal is to bring in clients and make their business thrive while profiting off of them. we pitch an idea to them see if they like it then we boost their company. I'll let you sit in one of my meetings and you can assist me.¨ I say

"assist... what do you mean I don't need to assist anything. Where I worked I was the best of the best I know what I'm doing." he says with a smirk.

"But your..." I say before he cuts me off.

"I know what I'm doing and quite frankly I know what I'm doing better than you if he hired me." he says taking me completely back.

"Hey I'll have you know im the...."

"Nice talking to you" he says with a grin walking pass me to the door but before he could get out the door I stopped him

"I'm the best damn worker here. So if you think you can just walk in here like that then you have another thing coming. And I'll be damned if you mess this company up. You need my help" I say walking passed him.

After that shitty encounter, I walked back to my office to finnish the rest of my work. By the end of the day I was so tired. I grabbed my stuff leaving the office but as I was leaving I walked past an office that I thought was empty but it wasn't. I looked in I saw that bastard Brenton in it.

I walked toward the elevator thinking how was he new and already have an office. I've been here for 5 years and I didn't get an office till after 3 years of me being here working my ass off. Deep in my thoughts, I got a phone call.

"Hello" I say answering.

"Hey, where are you I've been calling you all day. Are you even at work where are you? I swear to god if you're not at work." he says angrily

Cutting him off before he can go on I say " I've been at work all day Christon. You know I can't answer my phone at work calm down I'll be home in a minute." I say as I get in my car.

"yeah ok you know I love you right" he says.

"yeah" I say in a tired voice not wanting to argue.

" so you don't love me back" he says in a snappy voice.

"yes I love you I have to drive I'll see you when I get home" I quickly hang up before he can say anything because I don't wanna argue.
