"Ma'am, here are the keys to the apartment you paid for" the lady at the entrance of the apartment said to me and I smiled collecting it."I hope you enjoy your stay in Panama City" she added and I nodded, I hoped so too.I had decided to lay low in Panama city for a while before going to a place where I could start up another life."I can help with that" a young man said taking my bags and he took them to my apartment. I should tour panama city before returning to my apartment, I thought to myself and I waited at the entrance for my keys."I put your things in your room" the young man came downstairs handing my keys over to me "Thanks" I nodded putting on my sunglasses and I hit the streets of Panama.**One Month Later**It had been a month at Panama city and I was beginning to love the place but I needed to resume my life, I needed to start up something.I reached out for my bag and brought out the paper in which I had written Tyler's and Miss Lorelei's phone numbers.I was certai
_One Year later_New York City_I took out a neatly ironed suit from my wardrobe and put it on. I needed to look good for this interview."Perfect" I smiled staring at my reflection through the mirror as I combed my hair neatly and tied it into a ponytail.I put on a black stiletto heels to compliment my white suit and I picked up my bag and some documents."Grey Airlines" I said flagging down a cab"Okay ma'am" he said and I proceeded to go in. In few minutes, we were already at the company and the cab stopped just in front of the building. I alighted the cab and took a deep breath as I looked around the company.Alot of people trooped in and I could guess majority of them also came for the interview. Grey Airlines was one of the best airlines in New York City and a lot of people dreamed to have one or two things with them, either working with them, working for them or getting to travel through them and I guess I wanted to work for them and travel through them.Despite the large num
My eyes dropped, not in disappointment but in surprise and shock.Not only did I get in, I got the post of a secretary. Not just a random secretary but a personal secretary to Mr Grey.Why?? I wondered why they'd pick me for that high post. Was Mr Grey there all through my interview? Did I impress him with my replies that he couldn't resist the urge to make me his personal secretary?"Hmm" I smiled nodding my head incessantly, I could feel butterflies in my stomach. I felt on top of the world that I impressed a billionaire. It wasn't an easy task impressing a famous billionaire; they had everything.I danced around my room gracefully in happiness and stopped abruptly when my mind went off to when I used to dance at the clubhouse, "how I missed dancing" I sniffled and my heart saddened when I remembered Paxton.I had learnt to leave with the fact that Paxton was dead and wasn't coming back to me.And Just like they say, time heals all wounds. I would still feel sad whenever I remembere
"I'm Amelia" she said when we stepped out of Mr Grey's office"I'm Mia. It's nice to meet you" I said stretching out my hands but surprisingly, she pulled me into a hug"Welcome to Grey Airlines, I'm sure we'll make a good team. I'll tell you everything you need to know about your work" she smiled at me handing me a couple of files "Okay..." I chuckled clutching the files tightly to my chest"And then, Mr Grey's likes and dislikes" she rolled her eyes and sat on the desk just outside Mr Grey's office."This will be your desk" she took the files from me and dropped them on the table"oh nice" I said dropping my bag on the chair. It was right outside Mr Grey's office and I could see through the glass wall into his office."Mr Grey doesn't like late coming..." she continued, I saw her mouth move inaudibly as she said alot of things that I couldn't hear. I was staring at Mr Grey's as he went through some papers and I wondered what kind of person he was.I grasped as Mr Grey looked up at
"Mr Grey" I was astonished to see him right behind me and I moved a bit for him to walk freely towards the counter"M.. Mr Grey" the guy at the counter stuttered as Mr Grey beheld him."What were you on about employees with minor roles?" Mr Grey grabbed a chair and sat by the counter waiting for his question to be attended to"N.. n.. no.. nothing sir" his voice shook in fear "It's not what you think. I thought she was stealing from the company and using you as an excuse" he said and Mr Grey smirked."Someone here hasn't been reading the magazine of this company" he hit his fist angrily on the counter making everyone startle at first."I'm sorry sir" he apologized"Apologize to her" he said"I'm sorry miss" the coffee guy said and I looked at him in disgust and sighed."Listen up everyone" Mr Grey said loudly and the noise which was earlier heard seized immediately; what power he held!"This young lady here is my new personal assistant, I'll need you all to give her some respect" he s
**Alarm beeps**"Oh! How I hate the alarm!" Beatrix sighed getting up from her bed. She hurriedly had a shower and searched her closets for clothes."Hmph" a happy sigh escaped her lips when she found her black skirt and pink dress lying on her couch."There you are" she hurriedly went over and put them on. Sitting in front of the mirror, she neatly brushed her long curly brown hair and styled it neatly into a ponytail."I'll be late again and there's nothing I can do about it" she nonchalantly said as she dropped her phone and peered into the mirror to take a last glance at herself, her deep blue eyes revealed innocence yet mystery. She picked up her bag, shut her door and she flagged down a taxi. "Beatrix! You're late again!" Miss Lorena shouted giving her a stern look."I'm sorry ma'am. I just had....." one of the things she hated aside living an uncomfortable life was being scolded by miss Lorena "Not your flimsy excuses" she shove her off waving her hands "Get to work" she wal
The cubicle was the most famous strip club in San Francisco, there, rich personalities were always present and Beatrix was lucky enough to get in there as a stripper. She had been working as a stripper at The cubicle for three months and she loved the job because of her love for dancing. After her first month, she was made the most expensive stripper and was always given a spot to dance at the VIP room where billionaires came not only to feed their eyes but also their sexual desires. As she walked into the building following the entrance meant for workers,"Heyyyy! where have you been?" Miss Lorelei who had been pacing around the hallway hurriedly walked up to her."I'm sorry miss Lorelei. I overslept" she apologized "it's fine, Laura is filling in for you but you've got to hurry up" she led her into her own personal room"the make up artist will be here soon" she said as she impatiently picked up her phone to call the makeup artist. "miss Lorelei, calm down!" Beatrix chuckled, she wo
She sat in her room thinking about what Mrs Lorelei had told her the previous night."Should she accept Paxton's offer to spend a night with him?" she pondered on this. Truly, she needed to build her life with the money and above all, she wanted to stop working at the coffee shop. So giving it a try wouldn't be bad, she thought. She picked up her phone to call miss Lorelei to tell her she had accepted but on a second thought, she decided to rethink accepting it and whatever her outcome would be, she knew she had to think fast. **phone rings**"Hey girl" Tyler said over the phone"hello" she said faintly"are you okay? you don't sound too good""uhm... I just need to get some rest""rest?" Tyler shouted and she jerked "what's the matter? why did you shout?" she was surprised"You're meant to be at work" "Work?" she looked at her phone screen "what? I'm done for!" she sobbed. All these while, she had been thinking it was the weekend."Did you forget?" Tyler was getting concerned"I ac
