Chapter 1: Monday Morning
It is Monday morning, warmth of the sun gazing in through the windows of this high rise apartment through the success that she’d built with her own hands… alarm clock rattling and sounding off at 7:00am to wake her up for the day ahead. Waking up slowly getting up out of bed, as she walked towards the window to open the curtains and look out the city view, watching the sun rise over the city.  All the city wakes up to do the same thing, day in, day out. Another day, she thinks to herself. Laura Hilton, a 29-year-old businesswoman, human resource manager at LMN company, just been promoted from her personal assistant role. Well educated in business, a bachelor’s degree, she made it at the top, she is the top earning HR managers in her industry and the whole state of her city knows her name. A well reputable HR Manager if there any was one. Professionally dressed for success, she led her team and the business towards their goals, she trained up staff within the organisation and ensured they were well taken care of financially and ensured everyone was paid on time, by implementing a system called, “pay on time”, which allowed all employees of the business to be paid on time weekly at the same hour. This revolutionary system changed the business world forever. Everything was going great for a while, until, she met “him” … Blake, Adrian Blake. Never in her life had she ever worked with anyone so difficult. A 28-year-old young professional, part of the accounting team, business attire to suit, however on weekends would be a party goer, but he did his job well. The office, “Hot Throb” as he was a thing of beauty. Blue eyes, dark brown golden hair with a little fringe covering his eye in a cool laid back casual manner. “I have to deal with him today….” Laura sighed and thought to herself, dreading the day ahead. As they both walk into the elevator that morning, “Morning…” He says to her with a husky voice, “Morning…long night?” Laura responds in a casual manner as they both drank their coffees, as Adrian pressed the 20th floor button in the elevator, leaning on the handle bar in the elevator in a casual manner beside her, as other people came into the elevator of their work building to get to their work places that morning. Adrian glances at her for a moment, “You could say that…” He smirked. “I see…” Laura responded as she drank her coffee. “we have the meeting at 11am to discuss final plans for the budget next month, have you prepared the financial budgets for this morning?” Laura asks him, “Yeah, I just have to print them out.” Adrian responds, “Good. I want them on my desk at 10am as I need to collate them with my documentation to present to the board.” Laura responds sternly yet professionally.  “The meeting isn’t until 11am, can’t it wait?” Adrian shrugs off. “No it can’t, I need them, so I can organise our paperwork to ensure a successful presentation to the board, so they can approve our budget for our training of the new staff and allowance allocation next month.” Laura responded professionally with a poker face. Adrian took a breath out of frustration, “Fine, I will have the reports on your desk in an hour.” Adrian responded and walked out of the elevator to get on the 19th Floor. “Thank you.” She said as he walked out, the elevator doors close as the bell rings to indicate going to the next floor. Laura takes a deep breath, “Seriously, I am over it.” She thought to herself. “It all started two weeks ago…” she thought to herself closing her eyes as she took her first sip of coffee in the elevator as the doors opened to her floor to walk to her office.
