It was sunny day but in her life this doesn't exist. Being tired from herself and the entire world she ran. Ran like no one could fetch or catch her. Those words were playing in her mind"𝐂𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐧𝐨𝐰?" As soon as she said maybe God heard her. And it didn't take a minute to rain. It rained like it is not gonna stop,it rained like no one could see anyone's tears. It rained and make comfort her. When everyone was running so they can get rid of getting wet. She stop running like before she opened her arms and tried to hug the rain and feel the water drops dropping on her skin. Her eyes were still teary. It was a little bit red and puffy cause she was crying like no more tomorrow. She wiped her tears with her white full sleeve t-shirt. It was hot and sunny but she still wear it so no one could tell about her new and all those cuts. She rolled up her sleeves. The water of the rain dropped on her cuts. It hurt like hell but she didn't make any sound. She was too busy too enjoy the rain and the nature. She didn't care about her newly deep wounds. The fresh cut was made by a sharp matel. She didn't clean it. Just wiped her blood with a rough material cloth. She didn't care about those wounds can get infected. She was just happy with the rain. But it says, "𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦." It goes same with her too . She knows about it too. But now is careless with the beauty of the rain. Soin the rain stop pouring. As she was waiting for it too so she could see another beauty that is uncommon. She wait eagarly for the "𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐰". The pussian blue with the small amount mixture of indigo and red orange sky. And gradually a slight corner of rainbow turned into a half semi circle in the sky. Making the enviroment, sky and both her mind and soul aesthetic and beautiful at the same time. She giggle like an angle seeing the rare beauty.

Pʀᴇsᴇɴᴛ
Sophie Anderson is standing beside the big window in her office and watching the rain and rainbow. Those memory flashes as she closed her eyes eyes tightly. Sophie the girl who indure everything at her own. She was brave enough to fight back now. There was one time when her family forget ti recognize her and now the world her knows her as "Sophie . There was a time when no one pay heed to her and now a lots company stand sit as she wants. But still her achilles' heel is her past. The way she suffered. She still hates it like she used to do. She opens her eyes a little bit and loik outside again as one of the mamory cross her mind. With her sweet angelic voice she said, "Why it's still hurt even though I am not suffering anymore?"  A tear escape from her eyes. Like in the past she didn't wipe it with sleeve or her hands. She took a tissue and carefully wipe it as she don't want anyone to see it. She don't want anyone think she is weak. She lost herself once again in a different way. She once again glance outside and smile unknowingly. Those words were playing,"𝑳𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒅𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒆 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒖𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒔𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒉𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝒔𝒌𝒚. 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒆.

His voice , his smell, his body he want to hold it and cry. Missing him and the same time she wants to cry and is sad but one think stops her is her love. She don't want to make him sad. She went near the chair and she sit on it. And started to call her assistent to make a hot chocolate. She don't drink this usually. But she sure does when it rains. She thinks her love is also watching her and drinking hot choco. That's why she drink this to give him a company. Love can make us do everything. This proverb goes with her too. Her assistent comes in her office room and serves her the drink. She smile at her and take the hot choco to drink.A fake smile for sure her assistent think as she return the smile too and was waiting to give her some news or information. Sophie looks at her drink and sligtly smile. It is not new for her assistent. This always happens when it rains. Still she is watching her every action. She take a sip from her hot choco and take look at her assistent and asked her, "Want to tell me something?" "Yeah, Ms. Anderson." "Spill the beans then." "Ms in the north of this town a company name DK co-orparation wants to collaborate with us. They are way too much interested with us, our company. " her assistent said. She again said, "They even fix an appoinment with you. And the meeting is after 20 minutes sharp." "Ok" I replied her. "Prepare the meeting room,Ms. Wang. I don't want them to think any wrong thing about our company." "Yes Ms. Anderson." she said and take her leave. She went outside and sighed thinking about her cold behaviour towards others. She is indeed beauty and smart but the only thing everyone thinks of her is the coldness of her. The cold piercing eyes, her angelic baby cute face,her body without soul. She is only living and hiding everything because she don't want to hurt anyone anymore. Sophie leans on her chair and started to browse internet for the information of the DK co-orparation. The time tick and it is the time for meeting. She stands up from the chair grab her coat open the door of her room to leave. She started going towards the lift. Her assistent come and give her a smile abd she flashes one too.
           Sophie's POV
I am standing infront of the meeting room. As she was browsing through the internet only one name she recognize cross her. The CEO of the DK one of her past. I was still standing outside. Maybe scared to face one of my past that I left a long time ago.Maybe scared to face one of them. One of the past that has made my life hell. I was hesitating should I open the door or not until Ms Wang called me, " It is getting late." She open the door. As soon as I walked in the room employes from both my and DK company stand up. All eyes are on me. I take my sit. Infront of me one of the past. Our eyes meet each and he give me a smirk. He speak with the smirk on his face, "𝑳𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒏𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒆, 𝑺𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒊𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏.""Mr.Smith, this meeting is not for discussing about our personal things" I said without any emotion or being cold. "Sure, then lets begin our professional one." ,He said as I nod still being cold. The meeting last only for 45 minutes. One of worker has said them they will let them know if we want to work with them. After the DK crew take their leave a small meeting was arranged to discuss if we want to work with them. This meeting also ended. All attention on me another time. Everyone is looking at me for the answer. The answer is short and difficut for me. Should I or Should I not? But it hit me hard when I realize that I can't mix my personal and professional life. At a young age I have acheived the big goal of my life. I can't let it go. I am one of the youngest billionaire. I went my company to acheive more goals but one wrong step everyones work is in vain. The DK comapany is kinda good. And the most importent I can't loss against him. I have to prove once again. I stood up from the chair and started to walk away from the employes. Ms.Wang and MR. Butler following from behind. I turned to Mr Butler and said him,"I want you to send them the deal but not now I will call you when I am sure. And don't forget to give '𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛' in the deal. Butfor now just make the deal ready." He nod at my words. I went to garage to take my car and drive to home. But someone pinned me against one of the garage wall. "𝑫𝒊𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝑬𝑶." he said or should I say 𝘚𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘩. 𝘓𝘪𝘢𝘮 𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘩. He again said "𝑰 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒂 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒚 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝒕𝒐𝒐." I took his hands of  me glaring at him. I warned him, "Don't mess with me. One of your worng step and I wouldn't think twice to harm you. And yeah I was always pretty but I do pitty" I tap his shoulder acting like I am giving him sympathy. He shrug of my hands and cast me a black look. "Don't. Just don't. Don't give me those eulye look. I won't get scare." I warned him again. "𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒂 𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒕𝒐𝒐. 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅. 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚 𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒐𝒓 𝒆𝒏𝒅"He said with a smug trying to scare me. "Ok then lets see who wins or lose." I said him with an air of confidence. Feeling angry as fuck he walk away and his figure was not seen by her. She turned of the recording and unbottoned one of his coats button that is a hidden camera. She sure did know something is going to happen after she meet him thats why she has arrange these arrangement. She smirk and said to herself, "He wants to play but don't know the  game he wants to play is  already plying bu me." It says over confidence is bad and can make every little thing bad. But it wasn't her over confidence it was her style. He may wants to start it but it is already her game and she is gonna win it anyway.
