LEYLA (ERKENCI KUS)

LEYLA

My name is Leyla Aydin and I live in Istanbul Turkey, with my parents and younger sister Sanem. I am twenty-seven years old. I work at an advertising agency, Fikri Harika, as a financial assistant. I am in love with my boss Emre Divit. He doesn't know I exist except for work issues.

My younger sister, Sanem has been told by our parents to either get a job or marry the neighborhood idiot. She has decided to go to work as the Bring and Take girl at my agency. Of course, she never told me she applied online and got a call back for an interview. Now I have to take her with me to work. The one place I was safe from her interference.

As my younger sister, she has bugged me since birth. She has always been more beautiful, sweeter, smarter, and loved more by our Baba. I wanted to be Baba's girl, but no Sanem was his baby.

Of course, at the Agency, she got a lot of attention. First she made tea for the older Divit brother Can, and became his special assistant. She is very creative, and came up with some wonderful, unique ideas for accounts. So again Sanem grabbed all the attention. I even noticed Emre whispering to her, many times. She told me she didn't like Emre, because he was sneaky and jealous of his brother. That she was going to stay away from him and I needed to do the same. Well that's not going to happen.

To me Can Divit, a famous photographer, is a show off, and has just shown up to make Emre look bad. Aziz Divit their Baba put Can in charge, when Emre is the one that has worked so hard for him for years. Siblings are the worse.

Now there is something going on with Emre and his old girlfriend Aylin. I'm not sure what it is, but I can't stand her. She is always kissing and hugging Emre, and makes sure that I know she is sleeping with him. She was fired from our Agency for leaking secrets to another Agency. I think she is up to old tricks and I am going to keep my eyes open to see what she is doing. I want to save Emre from her, and make him finally see me.

Now I am noticing that something is going on between Sanem and Can. If I find out what, I will tell Anne, and she will put a stop to it very quickly. Why does Sanem get all of the attention?

Today I come home from work and Can is the kitchen with my Anne and Baba. They are all laughing and talking. Sanem is just sitting there watching with a stunned look on her face. Well at least I'm not the only one trying to figure out what is going on in our kitchen. I guess I will just sit back and watch Sanem mess it up all by herself.

The next day, Emre came into my office and closed the door. I was shocked, because he has never done this before. He asks me if I would help him get some information about the new account Can and Sanem are working on now. When I ask what he needed and was it related to the financials, he said "no". He proceeded to tell me he needed copies of the prints, slogans, and anything else I could get for him. I just looked at him and ask how soon he needed this information. He reached over and touched my hand and said "as soon as possible." He handed me a key, then he left the office. I just stood there holding my hand to my mouth, and sighed.

A little while later, when Can and Sanem went to lunch, I went into their workroom and made pictures of all the papers on the table. I went to my office and sent all the information to Emre. A little later, I saw Aylin and Emre leave the office laughing and holding hands. I was so mad, that I decided then and there to never help him like that again.

About a week later, everything in the office was chaos. People were crying, and scolding each other. Sanem and Can were trying to calm everyone down. Deren was yelling and CeyCey was actually crying. I went and ask Sanem what was going on, and she said "Our campaign has been leaked, and another agency has presented it word for word. We don't know how it happened. Can has been locking the door of the workroom, because of Aylin coming in and out of our office. Nobody can figure out how it happened, Can is checking the surveillance cameras now, to see who has gone in and out of the room."
