August got home in record time and headed straight to her bed. She pulled out her charged laptop and opened the 'gmail' app, typing in her mother's email. She wanted to tell her mother that she had a job and that she'd be able to get Sophia back by the beginning of 2020, maybe even sooner.

After sending the email, she received one back ten minutes after. August clicked on the tab, nervousness bumbling within her.

To: auggiewinters7768@gmail.com

I'm glad to hear that Auggie! Sophia's a quiet little bug and only reacts when I play videos of you as a kid. I think you'll really fall in love with her when you get to meet her properly. Can we come visit soon?

Augusts' hand hovered over the reply key, a picture of Sophia's beautiful baby face attached to the email her mother just sent. She looked exactly like William and August, she was a equal mixture of each and whoever saw her would know exactly who the father and mother is. August sighed, shaking her head. She couldn't see Sophia so soon, even if she had a good and stable home for her, August wasn't as stable as she seemed. She still loved Will and still hated him at the same time, she fell for a married man and expected him to love her the same. It was her fault thinking that a man with more than two kids out of wedlock would ever commit to her and her only. She regretted the years she spent with him but she couldn't do anything about it now.

She had to move forward. For herself and for Sophia.

With that thought in mind, August fell asleep, curled under thin blankets, looking forward to the months ahead.

_______________

It has been a month since August had started and everything was going great. The environment she was in when Mr. Sterling had no meetings, was calm and peaceful. Mr. Sterling loved to talk in his free time and August loved to listen. He'd talked about his life growing up, his accomplishments and regrets and August took it all in. Alec was a nice boss in her opinion and the pay was great.

"Mr. Sterling," August knocked on his door half way through the day. Technically she could walk in without knocking because her desk was in the far corner of his room but she insisted that she knocked because Alec could have visitors, business and personal.

She opened the door after three light knocked and sat the cup of steaming coffee on Mr. Sterlings desk. He looked up, taking the cup within his hands and taking a sip. "Thanks August" he smiled.

"You have a meeting at 2 with Cole Yom at Tiffany's down the street. Would you like me to order ahead or do you want to look at the menu when you get there." Alec sat his cup down, studying the graphs in front of his of stock improvement before he murmured his answer "don't worry about calling, I'll look at the menu when I get there. By the way, your card should have this months allowance on it, I'll need you to stop by a couple of shops this evening grab my suits and tomorrow you'll need to drop them off at my place. I won't be there tonight and my head maid is always weary of my new assistants so she won't let you into the house without me. Is that clear?" August nodded and went back to her seat. Alec had given her a sheet of paper with the seven different shops she had to go to and the amount of suits she needed to pick up from each of them. In total there was seventeen and by the looks of it, by the name she gets off of work, all of the shops will be closed.

Instead of telling Alec, she sighed and continued to work. She'll have to call the shops up during her lunch and hopefully they will agree to stay after for her. Maybe even a little bit of bribing will work.

For lunch August, Sam and Rum went to a home cooked restaurant across the street. Rum ordered half a rack of ribs, sweet potatoes, mac n cheese and a soda. Sam ordered a hamburger loaded with the toppings they offered, fries and sweet tea. August decided to order three pieces of fried chicken, sweet potatoes, a slice of pecan pie and a cup of iced tea. The group sat at a table in the middle of the room as they waited for their food.

"So August! How do you like working at S.T.A.R Corp?" Rum exclaimed excitedly. "You're one of the few females Mr. Sterling has hired, most of the ones that apply are gold digging whores that don't accomplish anything" he spat bitterly. "Like Naomi Banu, she was horrible! She worked at S.T.A.R Corp for three months before getting fired and arrested. She drugged Mr. Sterling at a Christmas party, slept with him while pregnant with another man's baby, made him believe it was his and then broke into his house when the DNA tests came back negative. Mr. Sterling fired her, blocked her number, put a restraining order against her but she broke into his house and tried to sleep with him again." Run sighed.

"When she was arrested she was put into a jail cell with two other people who Alec had helped in the past get out of debt, an hour later she was found, hung by one of her cell mates belt. The baby had died previous to that which is what made her go crazy." August sat in shock before answering his question, "it's been good, Alec is really nice and his clients are understanding and let me go at my own speed" she mumbled.

"I think I'm going to like this job and by the end of the year, I want to move out of my apartment and into something better. I just recently got out of a toxic relationship but I want to forget about the past and move on. I think this place is good for me, especially the beach! I love the beach" she grinned.

Maybe Rum, Sam and her would be able to visit the beach on one of their off days. She thought it would be nice to make friends and maybe, just maybe, put herself back out their and get into a relationship but first, she wanted to take care of herself. She needed too.
