I cried my eyes out until they were puffy and red, 8 hours have passed and I was still in the stage of denial. The facts were all there, my boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend and to make things worse I got fired from my job because of the outburst I had when my best friend Megan came to apologize at the office. I couldn't control it, I trusted Meg the most and she betrayed me, who knew that my boss's richest clients would arrive in the middle of the b**ch fight. I didn't know they would identify my colleagues and I as emotionally unstable. Now thanks to my good for nothing boyfriend Axel, I was broken hearted and jobless. As I was in the middle of my ranting I was interuppted by a knock on the door. "Leave me alone!" I shouted "Not a chance Bec" I grunted and turned to face the person. "MARCUS!" I stood up to hug him, Marcus was the older brother of Megan. Over the years we grew closer to each other and he became my best friend as well. "Bec, Axel was never worth it" he said with a matter-of-fact tone. "He kinda was-" "Rebecca Ally Williams!" I rolled my eyes, Marcus never mentioned my full name unless it was called for. "Marcus I'm... a wreck, you were right I should have believed you when you said he was nothing but a jackass" he raised his eyebrows "Say that again, I wasn't recording it" he quickly grabbed his phone and prentended to record "Oh quit it Marcus" I playfully hit his arm. "Let's go get some dinner" he said "I look like I was in a tornado, Marcus"  "girls" he muttered "Okay, okay give me 30 minutes" I walked towards my room "oh and Bec, wear something fancy" Marcus shouted from the living room, I put on a navy blue mid - thigh flowy dress and black stilettos. I also wore my diamond necklace my parents gave me. After curling my hair and applying light make up, I looked at myself in the mirror, I don't understand why Axel wasn't contented.  I was 5"7, size 2, brunette with hazel brown eyes. I sighed and went to the living room. I never even noticed that Marcus came already wearing a suit. "You look great Bec" "No I don't, let's go" he sighed and we went to his car, Marcus and Megan were born with golden spoons in their mouths. " Bec, I know you might hate me for this but I'm not taking you to dinner" I looked at him" What?"  "My dad is holding this big event and I'm taking you as my date" I smiled "I'm okay with it, are you sure your parents won't mind? Because of Erica and all" Erica is Marcus' wife, or should I say "was". Erica died in a car accident 8 years ago leaving Marcus with their 8 and 12 year old children. "I'm sure" I smiled at him and layed a hand on his shoulder, "Sorry I mentioned it" he looked at me "don't be" I dropped my hand from his shoulder "How are Eric and Marcela?" Eric had his father's eyes while Marcela had her mother's. "They're okay, but Marcela is starting to call me Marcus instead of dad" we both laughed. When we arrived, we were immediately surrounded by paparazzi. After avoiding all the questions we got inside. The event was filled with people not to mention extremely rich ones... "Feel free to talk to anyone" Marcus whispered and I nodded. I went to the bar and ordered a martini, the bartender winked at me as he handed me my drink. One and a half martinis later a guy approached me "Hey" I smiled "Hey I'm Rebecca" I held out my hand "Christian Moore" he said taking it. "So who did you come with Rebecca?" And as if on cue Marcus came "Axel and Megan have just arrived" Marcus whispered "Oh" I replied he nodded and walked away, right after he left Megan walked towards me. I turned away and rolled my eyes, just to have someone turn me around "Look Bec, I'm sorry... I know I shouldn't have. I f*cked my best friend's boyfriend, oh god Becky I'm sorry!" She cried "I don't know what to say Meg" I said calmly "Becky please-" "Let's not talk about it here" I said, she nodded and walked away with teary eyes "You don't deserve to be cheated on you know" Christian said "I know" he smiled "who was the guy?" I bit my lip "You don't know him" He raised his eyebrows "maybe I do" I sighed "His name is Axe-" "Chris, my man!" I turned to see Axel and Chris man hugging. "Well he does know him, that's for sure" I mumbled, Christian came and put an arm around me I was surprised at first but realized what he was doing. "You move on fast Bec, don't you say? Only after a few hours" Axel smirked   " Well you moved on EARLY don't you say?" Chris chuckled while Axel balled his fists and walked away or rather stomped away. "So how are you now? You know because of everything..." I sighed " Well I'm still heart broken and I lost my job- Wait how do you know Axel?" He took a sip of his drink "He's my cousin and Bec how would you like to work for me?" I exploded with happiness but concealed it " Why would you do that?" I asked "Well firstly because I need a secretary, secondly because you are currently jobless and lastly it's the least I can do on behalf of my family for what Axel did" My eyes widened in surprise "Seriously?" He smirked and nodded "Thank you, Thank you , thank you" I went to hug him "okay..." he said patting my back  "Oh, I'm sorry that was inappropriate" I looked down and blushed...well this is awkward. He cleared his throat  "So, is it okay if you start tomorrow?" I looked up at him "Of course sir, what time?" "Does 8 sound okay" he asked "It sounds perfect"
