AGAINST ALL ODDS.

Wicked woman

The old motorcycle coughed and sputtered as she pulled up outside the towering company building.It was a miracle that it had even made this far.She climbed out adjusting the straps of her worn out bag before turning to her little brother.

They went into the building."stay here ,okay?"She said softly kneeling beside him."I won't take long ,so stay here at the reception where it is warm"

Her little brother ,still weak from his illness nodded and gave her a smile.She took a deep breath and started walking to where the interview was held.This job could change her whole life.

INSIDE THE COMPANY

She was nervous but determined.She had no formal experience but she was willing to work hard.The interview went suprisingly well and when they told her they will consider her for a job.she couldnt barely control her excitement.

She rushed out eager to share the news with her brother -only to stop dead in her tracks at the sight before her.

He was lying on the cold marble floor.Unconscious .Motionless.Her heart nearly stopped.

"No...no,no,no!"she cried,running to him she shook him gently her hands trembling."Milan wake up!please"

No response he wasn't breathing.

Tears welled up in her eyes as panic clawed at her chest.

"Who did this ?!"she demanded turning to the people around her.

A woman stepped forward eyes gleaming with cruelty and her arms crossed.She dressed in expensive heels and a fitted blazer her presence radiating arrogance.

"Oh please ,"she scoffed"That filthy boy was loitering here like a begger we were just teaching him a lesson"

The onlookers shifted uncomfortablely others looking away,but no one spoke up.Fear of this womans power kept them silent.

The girl's hand curled into , her hands shaking not from fear but from rage.

"You hurt a child!!" she choked out."He did nothing wrong"

The woman smirked "Maybe next time, he'll know his place"

Before the girl could react the woman came closer,her voice dripping with mockery " And you-" she gestured to the girls tattered and worn out clothes-"-and u should know.You and ur little rat don't belong here"

A few other employees ,emboleded by the womans cruelty ,muttered in agreement some even moving as if to grab her.

She flinched ,backing away,shielding her brother's small body.

"Get out of my way!" she cried desparetly trying to lift him.

Then the elevator doors dinged

A hush fell over the crowd.

The C.E.O- the man he meet early (J.W Walker) - steeped out.

He was as cold and as striking as before.His presence enough to make the room striken without even glancing at them,he adjusted his cufflings and headed for the exit.

The woman's demeanor changed in an instant.She smoothed her hair and rushed towards him a fake pout on her lips.

"Your highness,"she purred,walking beside him"Can you believe it?this two tried to steal from us they should be punished"

The girls breath caught ,steal?

Some of the onlookers exchanged uneasy glances, but no one dared to speak against her.

The man didn't even look back ,his voice lazy,disinterested "The punish the thieves."

Her stamach dropped.

The woman d

grinned triumphantly her stomach turning back towards her" You heard him-"

But then something unexpected happen.

The C.E.O turned his head slightly.His eyes finally landing on the girl- and her unconscious little brother.For a split second something flickered in his gaze.

Hesitation.

A pause that lasted only a breath.

Then his jaw tightened.

And instead of living he lingered.

The chaos at the company loby had reached its peek.The air was thick with murmurs,some filled with scorn,others with uncertainty.
